The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.‎ ‎“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify.” ‎ The change was big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer ‎ temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 per cent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures’ negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.‎ Warm-blooded animals weren’t immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.‎ This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 per cent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.‎ The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.‎ ‎(　　)21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Why Do Some Species Become Smaller?‎ B. How Does Temperature Change in Earth’s History?‎ C. Climate Change Has Many Negative Effects D. Species Become Smaller as Climate Warms ‎(　　)22.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that 　　　　. ‎ A. how climate change effects animals’ size has not been found clearly B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller C. too many studies on animals’ size have been done D. people can avoid the negative effects of climate change ‎(　　)24. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.‎ B. Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.‎ C. Ants, bees and spiders have been shrinking by 50% to 70% in the past decade.‎ D. A warming event causing species to become smaller has never happened before.‎ ‎(　　)25. What’s the author’s attitude towards climate change in the passage?‎ A. Concerned. B. Optimistic.‎ C. Indifferent.　 D. Confident.‎ B Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.‎ Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype(陈规旧俗), a US study says.‎ Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.‎ The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.‎ Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.‎ The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.‎ But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.‎ Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.‎ Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.‎ ‎(　　)26. The author believes that a single-sex school would 　　　　. ‎ A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”‎ B. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely C. help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys D. naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man ‎(　　)27. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys 　　　　. ‎ A. perform relatively better 　　B. grow up more healthily C. behave more responsibly 　　D. receive a better education ‎(　　)28. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?‎ A. It fails more boys than girls academically.‎ B. It focuses more on mixed school education.‎ C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.‎ D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.‎ ‎(　　)29. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is 　　　　. ‎ A. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit ‎(　　)30. Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James’ report?‎ A. They enjoy being in charge. B. They obey stereotypes.‎ C. They are violent and sexist. D. They have sharper vision.‎ 三、 书面表达 据中国卫生组织的一项全国性调查表明:75%的人处于一种似病非病的第三状态,即“亚健康”状态。 “亚健康”来源于以下因素:营养不足;缺乏沟通;缺乏体育锻炼;生活没有规律等。‎ 请根据以上的调查报告写一篇150词左右的短文,并提出自己的建议:‎ ‎1. 锻炼是走出“亚健康”最有效的途径;‎ ‎2. 保持乐观向上的良好心态;‎ ‎3. ……‎ 参考词汇:亚健康sub-health ‎  ‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　‎ 限时精练五45分钟综合性过关小练习(一)‎ 一、 完形填空 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过讲述有关患有视力障碍的13岁体操运动员Lola Walter挑战平衡木的故事，提出了克服困难的建议——相信自己。‎ ‎1.

There are ‎ a lot of factors causing it， such as interpersonal tension， the lack of communication and stimulation， irregular life， nutritional insufficiency， inadequate physical exercise and the like. The sub-health seriously damages people’s daily life， even worse， it brings about the tragedy of suicide.‎ Fortunately， it has gained great concern of the whole society and people are going out of their way to solve the problem. Above all， we should keep optimistic， independent and confident. Next， we should maintain good interpersonal relationship and communicate more with others to adjust ourselves to different kinds of situations. Finally， we should live regularly and strengthen physical exercise. Only in this way can we shake off psychological sub-health and enjoy a happy life.‎
