smaller.Some scientists thought this might be an adaptation to a warmer world;smaller bodies should be able to lose heat better.But now a new study published in Science has found that for red knot birds,thats not the case.Ecologist Jan van Gils and his colleagues have been studying these birds for 33 years.Over the course of their research,van Gils and his team have found that in Russia where the red knots summer,snowmelt and spring have been advancing by half a day per year on average.Over more than thirty years,the researchers caught and measured nearly 2,000 birds.In years when the snowmelt had arrived particularly early,the birds were likely to be smaller and have shorter bills(鳥嘴).The birds leave the coast of Western Africa,where they winter,and fly north toward Russia with no clue as to what the weather is like there.The birds are supposed to arrive in spring,so they can lay their eggs and when their chicks hatch out,there will be a wealth of arthropod(節(jié)肢動物) insects to feed their young.But even though the red knots are advancing their arrival date by about a quarter of a day per year,it is not enough to keep up with the snowmelt.And in years when the snowmelt arrives early,the arthropods reach the greatest quantity before the birds need them.Therefore,chicks miss out on eating well and they grow up to be smaller and have shorter bills.Being smaller and having a shorter bill isnt a problem in Russiabut it is in Africa.There,adult birds feed on thin-shelled bivalves(雙殼貝類),Loripes lucinalis.But the bivalves are buried deep.However,other options,Dosinia isocardia bivalves and seagrass rhizomes(根莖),which only the youngest birds rely on,are not abundant or nutritious.Van Gils and his colleagues found that,in their first year,shorter-billed red knots dont survive as well in Africa.“A few short-billed birds make it,”van Gils says,“but the majority of birds that survive are the long-billed birds.”1.Jan van Gils and his colleagues reached the conclusion by .A.paring red knots with other birdsB.dividing 2,000 red knots into several groupsC.watching and examining red knots for three decadesD.analyzing studies that have been published in Science2.What influence does early snowmelt have on red knots?A.Their chicks dont have enough to eat.B.Their eggs take more time to hatch out.C.They need to find other places for summer.D.They arrive in Russia half a day earlier each year.3.Few adult short-billed red knots survive in Africa because .A.they cant find arthropod insects to eatB.they cant access Loripes lucinalis bivalvesC.the Dosinia isocardia bivalves they need are rareD.the seagrass rhizomes they feed on are not nutritious4.Whats the purpose of the text?A.To tell a story.B.To provide facts.C.To make an announcement.D.To put forward suggestions.BI had the honour of being elected chief of my tribe(部落)With the title came great responsibility.It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe，whose village we visited.Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying，sticking eyes and much noise of sticks.They laid a palm leaf on the ground and，as head，I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief.“Kia ora，” he said，weling us into the woodland home of his people.My “tribe” was my New Zealand coach tour group，who had forced me into being their leader.Wed been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki.After that it was nonstop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka，the war dance immortalized(使不朽)by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb，beef and vegetables out of the ground.It had been slowcooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地熱的)area of North Island，a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously，this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable.The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort，our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show.“The wheels on the bus go round and round，”he got us singing，while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip，there was still something missing，a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour plete.Riding over a ridge，there it was Aotearoa.The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”Can I say “Kia ora，Aotearoa？”

the text?AA taste of Maori cultureBHello，New ZealandCThe honour of being a tribe chiefDThe best of New Zealand【解題導語】本文為記敘文，作者講述了他去新西蘭旅游時接觸到的毛利文化。1C考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying，sticking eyes and much noise of sticks.They laid a palm leaf on the ground and”可知，毛利部落的勇士們從獨木舟上跳下來，用狂熱的叫喊、瞪大的眼睛和巨大的棍棒晃動聲將作者一行人鎮(zhèn)住了，他們還在地面上放置一片棕櫚葉。這些都是毛利人對游客表示歡迎的方式。故選C。2C考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Then they pulled our dinner of lamb，beef and vegetables out of the ground.It had been slowcooked in the heat.a Maori tradition known as a hangi”可知，在地下土爐中烹制食物是毛利飲食傳統(tǒng)，這被稱為hangi。3B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段的“The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort，our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show.”可知，作者一行人的回賓館之旅讓他們難忘：有表演天賦的毛利老司機讓作者他們一路歡歌，故選B。4A考查主旨要義。作者作為赴新西蘭的旅游團的隊長，在旅游中有幸接觸毛利文化，這給作者留下了深刻的印象，故A項“體驗毛利文化”作標題最佳。.完形填空(2016河南六市第一次聯(lián)考)When I was

4).【解題導語】本文是說明文。受到全球變暖的影響,在融雪期特別早的年份孵化出來的紅腹濱鷸會體格變小、鳥嘴變短,這直接影響它們的生存。1.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Ecologist Jan van Gils and his colleagues have been studying these birds for 33 years.”及“Over more than thirty years,the researchers caught and measured nearly 2,000 birds.”可知答案為C項。2.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“And in years when the snowmelt arrives early,the arthropods reach the greatest quantity before the birds need them.Therefore,chicks miss out on eating well.”可知,如果融雪期提前到來的話,等紅腹濱鷸的幼鳥孵化出來時,它們已經(jīng)錯過了節(jié)肢動物數(shù)量最多的時候,因此沒有足夠的食物吃。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“.adult birds feed on thin-shelled bivalves,Loripes lucinalis.But the bivalves are buried deep.”可推測,Loripes lucinalis這種貝類在地下比較深的地方,因此嘴短的紅腹濱鷸吃不到它們,影響生存。4.B寫作目的題。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了在融雪期特別早的年份孵化出來的紅腹濱鷸會體格變小、鳥嘴變短,從而直接影響它們生存的事實。.【解題導語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者身患癌癥,但沒有抱怨,而是通過寫詩歌和小說來闡述人生,最終戰(zhàn)勝了病魔。1.A上文說,作者對于患上癌癥首先想到的是“死亡判決”;下文說,作者并沒有抱怨。據(jù)此可以判斷,空處前后文之間是轉折關系,故A項正確。2.D根據(jù)該句中instead
