a. global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on. b. global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals. c. shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals. d. some animals will skip hibernation altogether. 【解析】选c。细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话可知答案为c。2. the writer sets the example of the marmot so as to. a. explain that global warming influences animals hibernationb. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer nowc. show that the weather in the united states is quite differentd. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather【解析】选a。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知作者是想借这个例子来说明全球变暖使得动物的冬眠期缩短了。3. the underlined word“slumber”in the fourth paragraph means“”. a. weatherb. activityc. nestd. sleep【解析】选d。词义猜测题。联系本句中的awake from可知答案为d项。4. why cant marmots find enough food when they wake up? a. because there are too many marmots in the wild now. b. because plants havent received enough sunlight for spring growth. c. because winter days end much earlier than before. d. because more and more animal species skip hibernation now. 【解析】选b。细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth可知答案为b项。9. terry root holds a(n)attitude towards the future of animals. a. optimisticb. doubtfulc. pessimisticd. sensitive【解析】选c。观点态度题。根据文章最后一句话i do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. 可以看出他是持悲观态度。1.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文,文中共有l0处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（)，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改l0处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。dear elli， im a senior student. i like making friend with people and i do my best to get on well for everyone. but in last week i found that one of my friends wrote in her english diary that shedislikes me. he doesnt want to my friend any longer. now she has started making fun of mebecause of im fat. i am kind to her but why cant she be friend towards me?
