Later in life, friends may try to set us up with their ideas of the perfect partner or the perfect job. People close to us may have ideas about how we should live our lives, ideas that usually come from love and the desire for us to be happy. Other times, they come from a place of need within them whether it is a parent who wants us to live out his or her dreams or a friend who wants us to play a good role. Whatever the case, we can appreciate and consider those peoples advice, but finally we must follow our own guidance. There may come a time when all the suggestions can become overbearing（专横的）.

Avoiding Making SuggestionsC. Accepting Suggestions D. Offering SuggestionsDA new study has found that North Americanmigratory（迁徏的）birds have been getting smaller over the past 40 years. Researchers say the finding suggests awarming climate（气候）could be affecting bird growth in North America - and across the world.The study was recentlypublishedinEcology Letters. Researchers measured（测量）the size of 80,000 birds killed from 1978 to 2020 during the spring and fall migrations in the city of Chicago, Illinois. Over the 40-year period, body size decreased in all 52 species. Theaveragebody weight fell by 2.6 percent. Leg bone length dropped by 2.4 percent. The one area of growth was the wingspan, which increased by 1.3 percent.The researchers said the wing growth likely happened to allow the birds to continue making long migrations with smaller bodies. The study considered aprincipleknown as Bergmanns rule, in which individuals within a species grow smaller in warmer areas and grow larger in colder ones.Brian Weeks, a biologist at the University of MichigansSchool for Environment and Sustainability, helped lead the research. He said that he believes the results show a clear connection between a warming climate and the growth of the birds. “In other words, climate change seems to be changing both the size and shape of these species,” he said.The study found a direct connection between the average summer temperature and the body size of the birds. Dave Willard works with ChicagosField Museum, which was in charge of measuring all the birds. He said nearly “everyone agrees that the climate is warming, but examples of just how that is affecting the natural world are only nowcoming to light.”“We had good reason to expect that increasing temperatures would lead to reductions in body size, based on earlier studies,” Weeks said. “I wasincrediblysurprised that all of these species arerespondingin such similar ways.”The researchers plan to continue studying the Field Museum data in an effort to find additional evidence to support their findings. They will also further examine the idea that an individuals physical development can change to fitchanging environmental conditions.32. Which of the following didnt go down to a lower level?A. The body size B. The body weight C. The leg bone length D. The wingspan33. Which of the following took responsibility for measuring the birds?A. Ecology Letters B. Brian Weeks C. The Field Museum D.

In fact, the experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds. 36 One of the most important things we look at is clothes, but it isnt the brand of clothes that people wear that is important. The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the right places. Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their uniform helps them to be serious about their studies. 37 If all the students wear uniforms, they cant judge each other because of their clothes. It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable. 38 We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear. If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctors white coat. 39 Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers. In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff（员工）because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes. But can our clothes really tell people what we are like? 40 When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing. Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.AMaybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.BSome of the teachers hold different opinions.CBut what do we look at?DTeachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.EOur clothes stand for our attitude.FHowever, it is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.GWhen we go into a bank we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）My twin sister and I have always been homeschooled, rather than sent to school.
