More air conditioning, better- designed houses may help ameliorate the condition in the warmer world. However, animals will have to rely on changing their behaviour or their bodies. The most commonly observed response to climate change is a change in the timing of life cycle events like migration. A report says from 1971 to 2021, 9 out of 17 birds species have faced longer migrations, particularly Orphean Warbler (布鲁氏林莺) traveling through the Sahara Desert. Their annual voyages increase by as much as 400 kilometers. A new study published by Sara Ryding, a professor at Deakin University, shows that climate change is already changing the bodies of many animal species, giving them bigger beaks (鸟喙), ears, arms and legs. Sara’s team further finds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger parts of body than those in cold regions. This is because such adaptations can make an animal’s surface area larger, helping it to give off extra heat. For example, when compared with their Arctic relatives, Fennec foxes, which are native to the Sahara desert, have larger ears. Worryingly, Dr. Sara pointed out the climate is changing at a pace that leaves most animal species unable to adapt quickly enough. That means climate change still may put most species at risk, threatening their survival and even affecting ecological system. It seems clear that the world of the future is going to be hotter than humans and animals are used to. It’s increasingly urgent to act now. Not only for us human beings, but for our neighbors —— animals! 4. What does the underlined word “ameliorate” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Cause. B. Improve. C. Achieve. D. Worsen. 5. What do we know about warm-blooded animals according to the text? A. They are less likely to migrate further. B. They have larger body parts in hot seasons. C. They adapt better and have no risk of survival. D. They make body surface bigger to release heat. 6. Why did Sara’s team do this research? A. To study typical animals’ behaviour. B. To stress the importance of protecting animals. C. To compare the adaptation of humans and animals. D. To study the influence of climate change on animals. 【4~6 题答案】 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是动物如何适应气候变化。 【4 题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“For humans, adapting to climate change is mostly a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses(对人类来说，适应气候变化主要是一个技术问题。更多的空调，更好地 设计的房屋)”和“the condition in the warmer world(在温暖的世界里的条件)”可知，更多的空调，更好地设计 的房屋可以改善温暖的世界里的条件，因此划线词ameliorate 的意思是“改善”，和improve 意思接近，故 选B。 【 5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Sara’s team further finds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger parts of body than those in cold regions. This is because such adaptations can make
