B 22.C 23.DBScientists have recreated a 1985 study of birds in Peru that shows climate change is pushing them from their natural environment. Thirty years ago, researchers studied over 400 kinds of birds living on a mountainside in Peru. In 2017, researchers looked again at the bird populations. They found that almost all had moved to higher places in the mountain. Almost all had decreased in size. And, the scientists say at least eight bird groups that started at the higher elevations (高地) had died out pletely.The researchers say the birds might have moved up the mountain because of temperature changes. Or changes to food sources may have forced them to go higher. The findings were published in a science journal. The 1985 research has documented birds and other animals moving up in elevation (高地) in reaction to warming temperatures. Mark Urban, a biologist at a university, said this recent study was the first to prove that rising temperatures and moving to avoid them can lead to extinction.In 2016, Fitzpatrick, director and a co-writer of the study passed his notes, photos and other records to Benjamin Freeman. Freeman has been researching tropical birds for more than 10 years. He set out in August and September of 2017 to copy Fitzpatricks study. His team used the same methods, searching the same places in the same time of year.Freemans team wanted to see how things had changed for the bird groups since 1985. The average temperatures on the mountain had risen 0.42 degrees Celsius. His team placed 20 sound recording devices on the mountain to record the sounds of birds that might not easily be seen.Freeman said that the birds moved an average of 98 meters further up the mountain. He believes that temperature is the main cause of the birds movement. Fitzpatrick noted that birds used to living in areas with little temperature change may be especially at risk because of climate change. He said, “We should expect that whats happening on this mountain top is happening more generally in the Andes, and other tropical mountain ranges.”24. How many kinds of birds lived in Peru 30 years ago?A. At least eight bird groups. B. More than 400.C. Over eight bird groups. D. Less than 400.25. Why did the birds move up the mountain?A. To avoid temperature changes.B. To find more food sources.C. To adapt to extreme temperature.D. To react to the increase of other kinds of animals.26. How did Freeman and his team record the sound of birds not easily being seen?A. They had the temperature rise 0.42 degrees Celsius.B. They moved an average of 98 meters further up the mountain.C. They placed 20 sound recording devices on the mountain.D. They kept on listening to the sound happening on this mountain top.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. Two teams used the same methods to do researches.B. Scientists documented birds and other animals moving up in elevation.C. Scientists have been researching tropical birds for more than 10 years.D. Rising temperature made almost all birds in Peru bee extinct.【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. DCFireworks are exciting, but also hard to control. The Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang，though, has developed a way to harness the visual and physical power of fireworks to make art He recently used them to create a burning sculpture that stretched high into the sky. Guoqiang fittingly named the work Sky Ladder.Guoqiang built Sky Ladder by making a frame out of metal. He coated the frame with gunpowder，the main chemical material in fireworks.The artist tried one end of the frame to the ground and attached a large weather balloon to the other end. The balloon was filled with helium 一 a gas that is lighter than air. When released，the balloon floated upward, pulling the top of the ladder 500 meters into the sky. Thats higher than the top of the Empire State Building.Guoqiang set fire to the bottom of the ladder，and the crackling（啪啪作响） flames raced skyward up the frame. The sculpture burned for two-and-a-half minutes before its flames began to die out from the bottom up.Dealing with explosive (炸药）is challenging, and conditions had to be perfect for Guoqiang to achieve his desired effect. He first attempted Sky Ladder in 1994，but bad weather prevented him from successfully pleting the work. Guoqiang put Sky Ladder aside so that he could work on other projects, perhaps most famously the fireworks display that opened the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.Finally，after two more failed attempts，Guoqiang successfully sent his flaming ladder skyward last year. He presented Sky Ladder in his hometown, a quiet fishing village near Huiyu Island, Quanzhou. He offered the work as a gift to his 100-year-old grandmother，other family members，his friends and his town.“Behind Sky Ladder lies a clear childhood dream of mine，Guoqiang explains. “Despite all lifes twists and turns, I have always been determined to realize it. The ladder rose toward the morning sun, carrying hope. For me, this not only means a return, but also the start of a new journey.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 1 ?A. control and use B. find and collectC. save and develop D. count and produce.29. What can we learn about the work Sky Ladder Cai Guoqiang built last year?A. It proved to be a failure.B. It could fly free in the sky.C. It kept burning for 2.5 minutes.D. It was sent skyward in the evening.30. When did Cai Guoqiang first imagine a ladder of fire?A. When he was a young boy.B. When he saw the Empire State Building.C. When the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opened.D. When his grandmother had her 100th birthday. ，31. What may be the best title for the text?A. Living with hope B. A birthday giftC. Burning man D.
