B
    The Amazon rainforest, is as undisturbed a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Now, research suggests that many of the region's most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming.
    Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species—meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America's bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course.
    For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon's resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, drier climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings.
    Because of the study's long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological (形态学的) effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in drier weather might lead to smaller body size.
4. Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds?
A. They have small body sizes.
B. They are sensitive to hot weather.
C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest.
D. They are ecological balance indicators.
5. What can we learn from the new study?
A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade.
B. 36 species lost 2% of their body weight every year.
C. Two-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight.
D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings.
6. What does the underlined word "dissipate" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Put off. B. Give off. C. Put away. D. Give away.
7. What would probably the researchers further study?
A. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool.
B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds.
C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight.
D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100.

4~7.【答案】D、D、B、B
【知识点】人与动植物、说明文、逻辑推理、词义猜测
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文阅读，主要介绍了气候变化对鸟的影响。
4. 根据第二段Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species—meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change.（鸟常被认为是哨兵物种——指的是它们能暗示生态系统的整体健康——因此科学家关注它们对气候变化的反应）可知，科学家喜欢研究鸟是因为鸟是生态系统平衡的暗示者。故选D。
5. 根据第三段中的representing 77 non-migratory species以及while a third grew longer wings.可知，在研究的77种不迁移的鸟类中，1/3的鸟长出了更长的翅膀。所以大约26种鸟类长出了更长的翅膀来应对气候变化。故选D。
6. 根据最后一段中的smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size（较小的鸟类可能更容易保持凉爽。一般来说，较小的动物有较大的表面积与身体大小的比率）可知，较小动物的表面积相对于自身整体而言较大，因此散发热量就容易，dissipate的意思是散发，与Give off（散发）的词义一致。故选B。
7. 根据最后一段中的However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds（然而，研究人员自己也不确定，并想知道翅膀长度的变化给鸟类带来了什么好处）可知，研究者将进一步研究鸟的翅膀长度变化对鸟有什么影响。故选B。
C
    We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.
    This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age.
    Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
    What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
    Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
    Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
    There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
    Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
8. What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
9. Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A. He took it for a tablet computer.
B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa.
D. He wanted to read it by himself.
10. What does the author think of himself?
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
11. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?
A. He lacks experience in his job.
B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department.
D. He often interviews internet stars.

8~11.【答案】B、A、D、B
【知识点】新闻报道与社会现象、短语猜测、记叙文、语意转化
【解析】【文章大意】本文主要讲述了作者曾经是一名记者，在春节期间，作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物，孙子却以为是平板电脑，不停地戳书的故事。
8. 根据第一段内容以及划线短语后文I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday（当时是春节假期，我和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上）可知，作者是记者，生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，这很正常。而这在春节假期，作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上，尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故划线短语意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。
9. 根据第五段中的He was actually a stranger to books...He thought my storybook was like that.（事实上，他对书本并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台装有彩色图片的平板电脑逗他开心，当你戳它们的时候，这些图片就会变得栩栩如生。他认为我的故事书就是那样的。）可知，那孩子戳故事书是因为他把它当成了平板电脑。故选A。
10. 根据倒数第三段中的Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.（我可能老了，但从数字角度来说，我并没有无可救药地受到挑战。我编辑视频，制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站。）可知，作者认为自己懂数字技术。故选D。
11. 根据倒数第二段中的There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.（然而，在我的新媒体体验中有一个明显的差距：我很少在镜头前呆着，因为我的脸是为电台而生的。）可知，作者作为记者很少上电视。故选B。
D
    An American teacher who helped make college education accessible to low-income, immigrant, first-generation American, and refugee pupils has won the ＄1 million Global Teacher Prize. Keishia Thorpe, an English teacher in Maryland, was selected from more than 8, 000 teacher in 121 countries.
    "As a young girl from the circumstances that I come from, I would never have thought something like this would ever happen to me. I'm speechless, I'm overjoyed, and I'm amazed. This is just an extraordinary achievement for me," Ms. Thorpe said.
    Ms. Thorpe teaches English to 12th-graders at the International High School Langley Park, where 95 percent of pupils are from low-income families. She redesigned their courses for the English department to make it culturally relevant to her pupils who are from mostly Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and South America. Since then, her English language learners have shown a 40 percent increase in their reading.
    Ms. Thorpe spent a lot of time encouraging her pupils to apply for college and helped them with their applications and accessing fully-funded scholarships. She helped her senior pupils in 2018—2019 win more than ＄6.7 million in scholarships to 11 colleges, with most of them not having to pay for their education.
    She plans to use the prize money to give less well-off pupils an opportunity of receiving a third level education. "Every person deserves the right to education and I want to be that person who champions that for them. I plan to use the money to help students worldwide access higher education," she said. "Students are the reason I'm here, so I plan to use that to promote them and create a better future for them."
    Organized by UNESCO and first awarded in 2015, the Global Teacher Prize is an annual award to a teacher who has made a vast difference to the profession. The winner of this year was announced at a virtual ceremony in Paris on November 10th, 2021.

12~15.【答案】A、C、B、D
【知识点】杰出人物与杰出贡献、标题判断、记叙文、逻辑推理、语意转化
【解析】【文章大意】本文主要说明了马里兰州的英语教师Keishia Thorpe获得了全球教师奖，并且赢得了100万美元的奖金。文章介绍了她所做出的贡献以及全球教师奖的相关知识。
12. 根据第三段中的She redesigned their courses for the English department...her English language learners have shown a 40 percent increase in their reading.（她重新设计了英语系的课程，使其在文化上与来自非洲、中东、加勒比和南美的学生相关。从那以后，她的英语学习者的阅读量增加了40%）可知，Thorpe重新设计的课程让学生们花了更多的时间阅读，阅读量增加了40%，故选A。
13. 根据最后一段中的Organized by UNESCO and first awarded in 2015, the Global Teacher Prize is an annual award to a teacher who has made a vast difference to the profession.（全球教师奖由联合国教科文组织组织，于2015年首次颁发，每年颁发给为该专业做出巨大贡献的教师）可知，全球教师奖针对有巨大贡献的教师，故选C。

15. 根据第一段的内容（一名帮助低收入、移民、第一代美国人和难民学生获得大学教育的美国教师赢得了100万美元的全球教师奖。马里兰州的英语教师Keishia Thorpe是从121个国家的8000多名教师中挑选出来的）并结合文章主要说明了马里兰州的英语教师Keishia Thorpe获得了全球教师奖，并且赢得了100万美元的奖金，文章介绍了她所做出的贡献以及全球教师奖的相关知识，由此可知，D选项（高中教师赢得了100万美元的奖金）最符合文章标题，故选D。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
    My heart went out to the drama teacher I read about in a recent news item. Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White. This reminded me of my seventh grade musical —"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend.   (16)  
For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.
I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the Maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, "That's what I say."   (17)   Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat "That's what I say" throughout the play.
At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with "That's what I say." I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along.   (18)  
That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt.   (19)   If everyone's a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.
And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be.   (20)  
A.So it is in life.
B.It was not to be.
C.It was anything but a great part.
D.My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.
E.It took the entire cast to make a good show.
F.There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.
G.I would hope all children could be a hit in life.

16~20.【答案】B、F、D、A、G
【知识点】自我认识与完善、议论文
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过小时候一次戏剧表演中成功扮演了一个小角色的经历告诉我们生活中每个孩子都有机会取得成功。
16. 根据空前句I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend.（我非常想扮演女主角贝基这个角色，她是汤姆的女朋友。）可知，作者非常想扮演贝基这个角色；及根据空后句For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.（首先，贝基要唱很多次独唱，而我却不会唱歌。我也没有像赢得这个角色的漂亮的琳达 ·赖特那样有长长的金色卷发。）可知，因为作者自身的条件，她演贝基这个角色是不可能的。由空格前后的内容可知，空格处的句子是一个承上启下的句子，所以B项（这是不可能的。）符合语境。故选B。
17. 根据空后句Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat "That's what I say" throughout the play.（沃森小姐在舞台上有好几场戏，在整出戏中她都要重复说‘那就是我说的’。）和下文Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat "That's what I say" throughout the play.（沃森小姐在舞台上有好几场戏，在整个剧中都要重复“我就是这么说的”。）可知，作者虽然扮演的是个小角色，但是，作者认为对她来说是好事，因为她只需要说一句台词“那就是我说的”。所以F项（不过，在我看来，这还是有好处的。）符合题意，空格后的句子是对空格处句子的解释。故选F。
18. 根据空前句 Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with "That's what I say." I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along.（想象一下，每当我插嘴说‘我就是这么说的’时，沃森小姐都能让观众哄堂大笑，我有多惊讶。我不知道她——或者我——可以很有趣，也不知道她的这个角色在推进剧情中很重要。）可知，作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。所以D项（我的沃森小姐很受欢迎。）符合题意。故选D。
19. 根据空前句Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt.（在戏剧中，台上和后台的每个人都是必不可少的。如果没有每个人都各司其职，这出戏就会枯燥乏味。）可知，作者认为在戏剧中，台上和后台的每个人都是必不可少的。而根据空格后的句子If everyone's a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.（如果每个人都是明星，那么什么都做不了。到处都是噪音和混乱。）可知，作者把演戏和生活联系在一起，生活中也不可能人人都是明星。所以，空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子，A项（在生活中也是如此。）符合题意。故选A。
20. 根据第四段的句子Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with 'That's what I say.' I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along.（想象一下，每当我插嘴说‘我就是这么说的’时，沃森小姐都能让观众哄堂大笑，我有多惊讶。我不知道她——或者我——可以很有趣，也不知道她的这个角色在推进剧情中很重要。）可知，作者扮演的沃森小姐很受欢迎、很成功。再由空前句And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be.（所以我认为所有的孩子都应该有机会扮演沃森小姐，成为一个他们不知道自己想成为的人。）可知，作者认为所有的孩子都应该有机会扮演沃森小姐，也就是说所有的孩子都有机会成功。所以G项（我希望所有的孩子都能在生活中成功。）符合题意。故选G。

第II卷（非选择题）
第二节(共 10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
    Three million years may seem like a long time. But when you consider that planet Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old, it is a pretty short period of time.
The blue whale,   (36)   (weigh) more than even the biggest dinosaurs, is the largest animal   (37)   has ever lived. They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130,000 kilograms. But for millions of years, they were not nearly that large, scientists said. "All of a sudden—'boom'—we see   (38)   (they) get very big," said scientist Nick Pyenson. He and other   (39)   (researcher) recently published an article on whale size. "It's like going from whales the size of minivans (面包车) to longer than two school buses," Pyenson added.
The scientists believe   (40)   caused whales to get so large was a change in the Earth's climate only about 3 million years ago. This change led to food becoming more   (41)   (easy) available.   (42)   oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and   (43)   (bring) more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales. Whales which were able to quickly-eat a lot of food survived, and got   (44)   (large). "Over the next three or four million years, the blue whales grew 10 times bigger than they   (45)   (be)," the scientists said.

easily【小题42】An【小题43】brought【小题44】larger【小题45】had been
【知识点】一般过去时、关系代词that引导限制性定语从句、自然科学研究成果、连接代词what引导主语从句、副词修饰形容词、动词的-ing形式的一般式、可数名词及其单、复数、人称代词的宾格、不定冠词、过去完成时、形容词的比较级、动词的-ing形式表示主动意义、动词的-ing形式作定语、说明文
【解析】36. 句意：蓝鲸，体重甚至超过了最大的恐龙，是有史以来最大的动物。分析可知，动词weigh，意为“重量为”，与主语whales之间为主谓关系，故使用动词-ing形式作后置定语。故填weighing。
37. 句意同上。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是animal，关系词在从句中作主语，且先行词前有形容词最高级修饰，应用关系代词that，故填that。
38. 句意：“突然之间，我们看到它们变得非常大。”科学家 Nick Pyenson说。分析句子可知，空处作动词see的宾语，应用人称代词的宾格形式，故填them。
39. 句意：他和其他的研究人员最近就鲸鱼体型大小发表了一篇文章。researcher研究人员，可数名词；分析可知，other后接可数名词的复数形式，表示“其他的研究人员”。故填researchers。
40. 句意：科学家们认为，导致鲸鱼长得如此之大的原因是大约300万年前地球气候的变化。分析句子可知，believe后是省略that的宾语从句，空处引导主语从句，引导词在主语从句中作主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导，故填what。
41. 句意：这一变化导致食物变得更容易获得。分析句子可知，此处应用副词形式easily，修饰后面的形容词available“可获得的”。故填easily。
42. 句意：即将到来的冰河时代使海水变冷，带来了更多的营养物质，因此对大型鲸鱼来说有了更多的食物。age在句中用作可数名词，此处泛指“即将到来的冰河时代”，应用不定冠词，且oncoming是以元音音素开头，应用an。句首单词的首字母需大写。故填An。
43. 句意同上。此处是and连接的并列谓语动词，句子时态是一般过去时，空处应和made保持一致，用动词过去式。故填brought。
44. 句意：能够快速吃掉大量食物的鲸鱼幸存下来，并且变得更大。根据句意可知，吃得多的鲸鱼存活下来，体型变得更大，而且前文一直探讨的是体积的变大，故此处应用形容词比较级。故填larger。
45. 句意：“在接下来的三四百万年里，蓝鲸的体型比原来大了10倍。”科学家们说。结合句意可知，此处be表示的动作发生在动词grew之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。故填had been。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Maybe there is a Father Christmas!
Anna stood anxiously staring at the pouring rain while little Molly looked up at a pretty doll in the window of the toy shop on the edge of town. "Mummy," Molly said, "that's the doll I would like Father Christmas to bring me." A tear rolled down Anna's cheek and she knew it would be impossible this year. They were supposed to start a new life in Spain one and a half years ago before her husband Tim was cruelly taken from them by a car. Their small amount of savings were quickly spent on Tim's funeral costs and necessities, leaving her in heavy debt.
To her relief, the local people had helped to support her through these difficult times and especially Juan, owner of the local grocery store, a single man, who would often put something special into her shopping bag, even though he himself had been going through a difficult period—his mother died of cancer and he was busy handling the sale of his mother's house on the edge of town.
As the rain stopped, Anna and Molly started walking home. She was thinking about buying an umbrella after paying the rent with her upcoming wage when Molly shouted excitedly, "Mummy, what's that on the road?" Anna looked down and saw a bag lying in the water, which was obviously lost because of the sudden rain.
They got home and dried themselves before Anna focused on the bag. Opening it and seeing bundles of money inside, she stood back in shock and cried, "Is this a present from kindness? I can pay off my debt, buy Molly's favorite doll and my new umbrella..." Then reality set in, Anna was a very moral person and would never steal even the slightest little thing, let alone bundles of money. She went to bed with all thoughts in her mind.

Early next morning, Anna headed where she decided to go. Anna walked directly to the police station. After figuring out what had happened, the policemen kept note of her information and thought highly of her. She felt a little shy and said, "The huge money would be a great help for me to get through the difficulties, but the owner would get into great trouble, instead." Stepping out of the station, Anna felt a fresh breeze on her face, making her relieved and comfortable.
    At supper, Anna had an unexpected visitor—Juan with gift boxes in his hands. Seeing Anna's surprised look, Juan told her that he was the owner of the bag and he came to show his thanks. That morning, because of the sudden rain, he was so hurried to get on the taxi that he lost his bag. "Thank you so much for your help." Juan said to Anna and then turned to Molly, handing her the boxes, "Here you are, little girl." After opening the boxes, Molly cried with great joy, "Mom, look! Here it is! The doll Father Christmas brings me!" Looking at her happy daughter, Anna smiled, murmuring, "Maybe there is a Father Christmas!"
