1. Sme animals are "shapeshifting". This mean:; they are changing hw' their bdies wrk. Scientists have fund that this is largely because f the changing climate. Tday, the glbal climate is rapidly warming.2. Scientists fund warm-blded animals can keep their bdy temperature cnstant(恒定). They are adapting t a htter climate. T adapt means t change. Adaptatins help animals stay alive in their envirnment.Hw Animals Cl Off3. Animals have t cntrl their bdy temperature. If they d nt, they can verheat. S animals have different methds t help them cl ff. Birds, fr example, use their beaks, which are nt cvered by feathers. They help birds reduce bdy heat. Mammals(哺乳动物),which breathe air, have backbnes, grw hair and prduce milk, use similar methds. They use their ears, tails and legs t help them cntrl bdy temperature.4. Scientists have studied this in the past years. They have studied animals in warmer climates. They knw that sme f these animals have evlved(进化) certain features. These features allw animals t reduce bdy heat mre easily. They are becming mre bvius as the climate warms. This is particularly true in "shapeshifting”,A. birds breathe air and change backbnes B. bird samples are made int digital cpiesC. birds use their feathers t easily reduce bdy heat D. birds’ beaks grw larger because f climate change
285. Sara Ryding wrks at Deakin University in Australia and studies birds “Shapeshifting des nt mean that animals are dealing successfully with climate change and that all is fine,” Ryding said. “It just means they are evlving t stay alive." The study fund that birds are changing the mst. Fr example, several types f Australian parrts shwed changes. Their beak size has increased since 1871. Their beaks are nw 4% t 10% larger. And that grwth matches the summer temperature each year. Scientists have als reprted changes in ther animals. Tail lengths have increased in wd mice. Bats in warm climates have increased wing size, t. These changes might seem small, but Ryding says that culd change as the planet becmes htter.6. Ryding wants t keep studying "shapeshifing". She will 3D scan museum bird samples (样品) frm the past 100 years. She will see which birds are changing the size f their beaks because f climate change by studying digital cpies f bird samples. Ryding thinks the climate change that we have created is putting pressure (医力) n animals, s humans shuld d mre than just recgnize the changes that animals have t make. She says that sme animals will adapt. Hwever, thers will nt.28. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best heading fr Paragraph 5 and 6?A. What Animals Lk Like B. All Is Nt WellC.

1. Using mbile phnes t navigate (导航) has becme secnd nature. Whether yu're heading t a new park r meeting friends at a restaurant, yu just enter the address n yur phne and g. Withut GPS, explring (探索) and way finding in new places required preparatin. We had t think, check paper maps, and plan and memrize ways there. But tday there is n need t think. Simply fllw the turn-by-turn directins n yur phne, and yu'll end up where yu need t be. Hwever, yur verall sense f the place suffers.

2. There are areas f the brain that deal with these difficult path finding tasks. In particular, the hippcampus is related t spatial memry, spatial navigatin and mental (在脑中的) mapping. Studies shw that we can exercise the hippcampus memry thrugh explratin and spatial navigatin. Fr example, expert navigatrs like Lndn taxi drivers have larger hippcampi cmpared t ther peple. 3. Hwever, when we fllw a set f turn-by-turn directins, GPS navigatin apps treat us as passive passengers rather than active explrers. In turn, this stps us frm being able t create prper mental maps, and has an effect n the hippcampus, which is very imprtant fr brain health. 4. While imprvements in technlgy clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technlgy can influence the brain. Our questin is: Can we find a way t still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects n memry?32. Lndn taxi drivers are mentined in Paragraph 2 t shw that ______.A. GPS is nt widely used in LndnB. the hippcampus memry can be exercisedC. hard-wrking drivers have larger hippcampiD. active explrers are better than passive passengers
5. The challenge is t create ther frms f GPS navigatin that will remain easy enugh fr the general public, and at the same time, enable peple t imprve their spatial sense. Our research finds that prperly designed audi beacns (音频信标) ffer a much mre active frm f GPS navigatin. Fr example, with an audi beacn at a hspital, when we are tw miles away frm the hspital, we can hear a sund thrugh ur phne. In recent experiments, we discver that this type f sensry navigatin thrugh audi beacns des better than turn-by-turn navigatin in the creatin f mental maps. We believe these results, at least in part, cme frm peple taking a mre active rle in their navigatin. 6. GPS navigatin using audi beacns ffers a gd example that helps humans cnnect mre deeply with reality; perhaps instead f turning int mindless rbts, we will be able t becme mre deeply invlved with humanity, ur lcal envirnment, and life can we learn frm the passage?A. Turn-by-turn GPS navigatin helps create mental maps.B. Audi beacns technlgy will be replaced in the future.C. Users' active rle shuld be cnsidered in navigatin technlgy.D. GPS navigatin apps have cme a lng way in helping with ur memry.
