Humans are nt the nly nes adapting t the effects f glbal climate change. Animals are als adapting t the envirnmental changes—as sme warm-blded animals are beginning t “shapeshift” their bdies in respnse t shifts in climate, accrding t a recent study in Trends in Eclgy & Evlutin led by Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers identified new evidence that supprts the thery that sme warm-blded animals are experiencing changes t their bdies due t the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks in sme cases. The researchers nted that accrding t a principle knwn as “Allen’s Rule,” warm-blded animals living in clder climates tend t have smaller appendages (like beaks r legs) than animals f the same species living in warmer climates.
Sme f the mst cnvincing evidence f shapeshifting was fund in birds in Australia and Nrth America, accrding t researchers. Certain species f Australian parrts have demnstrated abut 4%-10% increase in the size f their beaks since 1871, which researchers attribute t rising temperatures. In Nrth America, the dark-eyed junc (暗眼灯草雀) als has been seen an increase in beak size. Larger beaks help birds dissipate additinal bdy heat mre effectively, the study said, which is a useful feature as glbal temperatures rise.
“A lt f the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media, peple are asking ‘can humans vercme this?’ r ‘what technlgy can slve this?’” Ryding said in a news release frm Cell Press. She said that just like humans, animals als had t adapt t climate changes. Ryding added, “The climate change that we have created is putting a whle lt f pressure n them, and while sme species will adapt, thers will nt.” “Shapeshifting des nt mean that animals are cping with climate change and that all is ‘fine,’” Ryding said, “It just means they are evlving t survive it.”

A. All species will nt adapt t climate change.
B. Animals are dealing with climate change well.
C. The junc has been seen an increase in beak size in Australia.

It was a beautiful mrning and the park was quiet with very few peple walking r jgging arund. While I was running, anther jgger bumped(撞) int me. He aplgized and cntinued running. Fr a while, I didn't think t much f it. Hwever, when I nticed the wide path where I was running, I thught it was kind f strange. The warning f muggers in the park ccurred t me. He culd have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, s I checked my pcket. The mney was missing! I immediately started t run after the jgger. I finally caught up with him and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shuting and demanding that he give me the $ 10bill. I'm nt usually a ht-headed persn, but I really lst my temper at that mment. I culdn't believe the rbbery was actually happening t me. Filled with anger, I shk my fist at him. This seemed t frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pcket and gave me the mney. Then he ran away as fast as he culd.
I bught the bread and went hme. As sn as I gt hme, I culdn't wait t tell my wife the stry." Yu wn't believe what happened t me," I started with pride. She immediately interrupted(插话),"I knw, yu left the mney fr the bread n the kitchen table."

Animals are als adapting t the envirnmental changes—as sme warm-blded animals are beginning t ‘shapeshift’ their bdies in respnse t shifts in climate.”(人类并不是唯一适应全球气候变化影响的人。动物也在适应环境的变化—一些温血动物开始‘改变’自己的身体，以应对气候变化。)可知，文章是阐述是一个最新的研究发现—动物通过不断“改变”自己的身体来适应环境。故选D。

⑤上文“Many libraries hst free events fr yung peple. Yu can ask a librarian r check the library’s website fr a list r calendar f upcming activities and sign up with yur card.(许多图书馆为年轻人举办免费活动。你可以问图书管理员，或者在图书馆的网站上查看即将到来的活动列表或日历，然后用你的卡片注册)”提到，许多图书馆举办免费活动，可以用图书卡注册，F项“这些活动包括青少年读书俱乐部、艺术工作坊和有趣的课程”进一步介绍这些活动。故选F。
