Now, research suggests that many of the region's most sensitive bird species are starting to evolve in response to warming.
    Birds are often considered sentinel (哨兵) species—meaning that they indicate the overall health of an ecosystem—so scientists are particularly interested in how they're responding to climate change. In general, the news has not been good. For instance, a 2019 report by the National Audubon Society found that more than two-thirds of North America's bird species will be in danger of extinction by 2100 if warming trends continue on their current course.
    For the new study, researchers collected the biggest dataset so far on the Amazon's resident birds, representing 77 non-migratory species and lasting the 40 years from 1979 to 2019. During the study period, the average temperature in the region rose, while the amount of rainfall declined, making for a hotter, drier climate overall. According to the report on November 12 in the journal Science Advances, 36 species have lost substantial weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight per decade since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species showed some decrease in average body mass, while a third grew longer wings.
    Because of the study's long time series and large sample sizes, the authors were able to show the morphological (形态学的) effects of climate change on resident birds. However, the researchers themselves are unsure and wonder what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but suppose smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger rate of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in drier weather might lead to smaller body size.4.  Why are scientists fond of doing research on birds?A. They have small body sizes.
B. They are sensitive to hot weather.
C. They live in an undisturbed rainforest.
D. They are ecological balance indicators.5.  What can we learn from the new study?A. A third of species have been extinct for a decade.
B. 36 species lost 2% of their body weight every year.
C. Two-thirds of species showed a considerable decrease in weight.
D. About 26 species responded to climate change with longer wings.6.  What does the underlined word "dissipate" in the last paragraph mean?A. Put off. B. Give off. C. Put away. D. Give away.7.  What would probably the researchers further study?A. Why it is easier for smaller animals to keep cool.
B. What effects the wing length changes have on birds.
C. Why the Amazonian birds have lost substantial weight.
D. Whether bird species in North America will be extinct in 2100.C    We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.
    This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age.
    Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
    What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
    Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
    Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
    There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
    Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.8.  What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in Paragraph 2?A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.9.  Why did the kid poke the storybook?A. He took it for a tablet computer.
B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa.
D. He wanted to read it by himself.10.  What does the author think of himself?A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.11.  What can we learn about the author as a journalist?A. He lacks experience in his job.
B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department.
D. He often interviews internet stars.D    An American teacher who helped make college education accessible to low-income, immigrant, first-generation American, and refugee pupils has won the ＄1 million Global Teacher Prize. Keishia Thorpe, an English teacher in Maryland, was selected from more than 8, 000 teacher in 121 countries.
    "As a young girl from the circumstances that I come from, I would never have thought something like this would ever happen to me. I'm speechless, I'm overjoyed, and I'm amazed. This is just an extraordinary achievement for me," Ms. Thorpe said.
    Ms. Thorpe teaches English to 12th-graders at the International High School Langley Park, where 95 percent of pupils are from low-income families.

Since then, her English language learners have shown a 40 percent increase in their reading.

She helped her senior pupils in 2018—2019 win more than ＄6.7 million in scholarships to 11 colleges, with most of them not having to pay for their education.
    She plans to use the prize money to give less well-off pupils an opportunity of receiving a third level education. "Every person deserves the right to education and I want to be that person who champions that for them. I plan to use the money to help students worldwide access higher education," she said. "Students are the reason I'm here, so I plan to use that to promote them and create a better future for them."
    Organized by UNESCO and first awarded in 2015, the Global Teacher Prize is an annual award to a teacher who has made a vast difference to the profession. The winner of this year was announced at a virtual ceremony in Paris on November 10th, 2021.12.  How do Thorpe's redesigned courses influence her students?A. Students have spent more time reading.

Each parent from her class insisted that she cast their own child as Snow White. This reminded me of my seventh grade musical —"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend.   (16)  For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the Maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, "That's what I say."   (17)   Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped in with "That's what I say." I hadn't known that she—or I—could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along.   (18)  That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a stand-out in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dirt.   (19)   If everyone's a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be.   (20)  A.So it is in life.B.It was not to be.C.It was anything but a great part.D.My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E.It took the entire cast to make a good show.F.There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.G.I would hope all children could be a hit in life.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。   Sports are important in our family.

But when you consider that planet Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old, it is a pretty short period of time.The blue whale,   (36)   (weigh) more than even the biggest dinosaurs, is the largest animal   (37)   has ever lived. They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130,000 kilograms. But for millions of years, they were not nearly that large, scientists said. "All of a sudden—'boom'—we see   (38)   (they) get very big," said scientist Nick Pyenson. He and other   (39)   (researcher) recently published an article on whale size. "It's like going from whales the size of minivans (面包车) to longer than two school buses," Pyenson added.The scientists believe   (40)   caused whales to get so large was a change in the Earth's climate only about 3 million years ago. This change led to food becoming more   (41)   (easy) available.   (42)   oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and   (43)   (bring) more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales. Whales which were able to quickly-eat a lot of food survived, and got   (44)   (large). "Over the next three or four million years, the blue whales grew 10 times bigger than they   (45)   (be)," the scientists said.第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华，请给你校外教Anna写一封邮件，邀请她主持下个月的英语演讲比赛，内容包括：1.比赛的地点、时间等；2.她需要做的事。注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Dear Anna,_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。Maybe there is a Father Christmas!Anna stood anxiously staring at the pouring rain while little Molly looked up at a pretty doll in the window of the toy shop on the edge of town. "Mummy," Molly said, "that's the doll I would like Father Christmas to bring me." A tear rolled down Anna's cheek and she knew it would be impossible this year. They were supposed to start a new life in Spain one and a half years ago before her husband Tim was cruelly taken from them by a car. Their small amount of savings were quickly spent on Tim's funeral costs and necessities, leaving her in heavy debt.To her relief, the local people had helped to support her through these difficult times and especially Juan, owner of the local grocery store, a single man, who would often put something special into her shopping bag, even though he himself had been going through a difficult period—his mother died of cancer and he was busy handling the sale of his mother's house on the edge of town.As the rain stopped, Anna and Molly started walking home. She was thinking about buying an umbrella after paying the rent with her upcoming wage when Molly shouted excitedly, "Mummy, what's that on the road?" Anna looked down and saw a bag lying in the water, which was obviously lost because of the sudden rain.They got home and dried themselves before Anna focused on the bag. Opening it and seeing bundles of money inside, she stood back in shock and cried, "Is this a present from kindness? I can pay off my debt, buy Molly's favorite doll and my new umbrella..." Then reality set in, Anna was a very moral person and would never steal even the slightest little thing, let alone bundles of money. She went to bed with all thoughts in her mind.
