There are just tw species f flwering plant native t the Antarctic peninsula（半岛），which are nw grwing at recrd rates as temperatures rise and ice begins t melt，accrding t a new study.One is Antarctic hair grass，which grew as much in 2009—2019 as it had in the previus 50 years；the ther is Antarctic pearl wrt，which has seen the speed f grwth increase five times ver the same perid.
A team led by Nicletta Cannne，a researcher frm the University f Insubria，Italy，measured the grwth f Antarctica's tw native plants at sites n Signy Island.The results were shcking：the sites have nt nly seen faster grwth，but they have becme mre densely ppulated by the plants each year，which indicates the climate has gt warmer.
Accrding t nnprfit Discvering Antarctica，the regin's temperatures have warmed by an average f 3°C as a result f human-caused climate change，meaning nce stable ice shelves are nw narrwing dwn.In sme parts，that has given way t land nw habitable t the tw plant species.
Peter Cnvey，at the British Antarctic Survey，tld the New Scientist："The mst nvel feature f this is nt that smething is grwing faster but that we're starting t see what is almst like a step change r a tipping pint." And Matthew Davey，at the Scttish Assciatin fr Marine Science in Oban，UK，added："Increasing expansin is nw clearly evident in the regin.This research gives us the first all-sided data shwing hw fast and hw dense the plant cmmunity may expand."
The researchers acknwledged there culd be ther factrs at play causing the plants' grwth，such as the decreasing fur seal ppulatin—but this als is linked t climate change.Meanwhile，as the land becmes mre habitable，nn-native species culd als ccupy the land and grw mre than native plants，which culd in turn destabilize lng-established lcal ecsystems.
"If we estimate what we bserved n Signy Island t ther sites in Antarctica，a similar prcess can als ccur，" said Cannne"This means the Antarctic landscape and bidiversity culd change rapidly.And that really cncerns all."

Asia's centuries-lng fascinatin with fair skin has deep rts and，even tday，is influenced by Eurcentric（以欧洲为中心的） beauty standards linking paleness with charm.The questined cncept dating frm clnial histry is cntinued thrugh media channels.
This fascinatin is vividly reflected in the make-up industry，leading t a multi-billindllar market fr skin-whitening prducts acrss Asia.A striking survey cnducted by WHO revealed 40% f wmen in cuntries such as China，Malaysia，the Philippines，and Suth Krea rutinely use skin-whitening prducts.It was als fund that 75% f men believed their partners wuld be beautiful with lighter skin.Such a deep-rted relatin between fairness and beauty cntinues t fuel the thriving skin-whitening industry.The industry's value is estimated t reach a breathtaking ＄8.9 billin by 2027.

In recent years，such Eurcentric beauty standards have been receiving widespread criticism.A grwing mvement has cme up，prmting the beauty f darker skin tnes and advcating accepting all skin clrs.While the preference fr pale skin remains universal in many Asian cuntries，the tendency is slwly turning as new standards f beauty pp up.Hpefully，we will see a sciety that celebrates inclusivity and the beauty f all skin tnes.

【小题3】be stuck
【小题4】running
【小题5】uncnventinal
【小题6】variety
【小题7】Essentially
【小题8】their
【小题9】which
【小题10】as
【解析】（1）考查冠词。句意：这道菜，一个真正的岩石菜，真的是岩石。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，real是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。
（2）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自从它回归以来，许多街头摊贩都通过嗦丢热获得了暴利。根据时间状语Since its cmeback，可知用现在完成时，主语为名词复数many street vendrs，所以助动词为have，故填have made。
（3）考查动词语态。句意：此前，在湖北沿海地区，渔民们会被困在渔船上，等待轮到他们靠岸。stick和主语之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，前面有wuld，所以be动词为原形be，故填be stuck。
（4）考查现在分词。句意：由于食物越来越少，他们想出了一个创造性的、非传统的主意，用光滑的河石来消磨时间。with的宾语their fd和run ut之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾补，故填running。
（5）考查形容词。句意：由于食物越来越少，他们想出了一个创造性的、非传统的主意，用光滑的河石来消磨时间。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词，根据句意可知表示"非传统的"，所以用形容词uncnventinal，故填uncnventinal。
（6）考查名词的固定短语。句意：这些石头被清洗干净，煮沸，然后与油、大蒜、姜和各种酱汁一起翻炒。a variety f"各种各样的"，为固定短语，故填variety。
（7）考查副词。句意：从本质上讲，这一切都归结为酱汁秘方。修饰句子，所以用副词，句首单词首字母大写，故填Essentially。
（8）考查形容词性物主代词。句意：因为唯一可以吃的就是酱汁，所以每个街头小贩都有自己的秘方。放在名词前面，所以用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
（9）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：但主要成分是一样的---姜、大量的大蒜和辣椒，这些会让你想要冰啤酒或一瓶葡萄酒。先行词为ginger，lts f garlic and spicy chili，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以用which引导，故填which。
（10）考查介词。句意：现在它仍然是一种下酒小菜。根据句意可知表示"作为"，后跟名词，所以用介词as，故填as。
这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了湖北的一道小菜---嗦丢。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的词汇和语法知识。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握语言点及一些语法知识。

There are just tw species f flwering plant native t the Antarctic peninsula（半岛），which are nw grwing at recrd rates as temperatures rise and ice begins t melt，accrding t a new study.One is Antarctic hair grass，which grew as much in 2009—2019 as it had in the previus 50 years；the ther is Antarctic pearl wrt，which has seen the speed f grwth increase five times ver the same perid.
A team led by Nicletta Cannne，a researcher frm the University f Insubria，Italy，measured the grwth f Antarctica's tw native plants at sites n Signy Island.The results were shcking：the sites have nt nly seen faster grwth，but they have becme mre densely ppulated by the plants each year，which indicates the climate has gt warmer.
Accrding t nnprfit Discvering Antarctica，the regin's temperatures have warmed by an average f 3°C as a result f human-caused climate change，meaning nce stable ice shelves are nw narrwing dwn.In sme parts，that has given way t land nw habitable t the tw plant species.

"If we estimate what we bserved n Signy Island t ther sites in Antarctica，a similar prcess can als ccur，" said Cannne"This means the Antarctic landscape and bidiversity culd change rapidly.And that really cncerns all."

The histrical preference fr lighter skin in Asian culture is als clsely tied t sci-ecnmic status.Histrically，having fair skin indicated higher scial status，as individuals engaging in physical labr ften had darker skin frm being in the sun.The upper class，meanwhile，enjyed a sheltered indr life due t their wealth，translating int fairer skin.Cnsequently，thse with darker skin remained in a lwer status，fueling the favr fr fairer faces.
Clnialism（殖民主义） has als affected the beauty standards in Asian cuntries.Many natins acrss the cntinent were nce clnized by white pwers frm the US and Eurpe.Eventually，their fair skin symblized the pwer and wealth f the clnizers.Even in Japan，never clnized，nblewmen during the Ed perid adpted white makeup t cpy the luxurius image related t lighter skin.These histrical factrs cntinue t shape mdern beauty standards in Asia.
In recent years，such Eurcentric beauty standards have been receiving widespread criticism.A grwing mvement has cme up，prmting the beauty f darker skin tnes and advcating accepting all skin clrs.While the preference fr pale skin remains universal in many Asian cuntries，the tendency is slwly turning as new standards f beauty pp up.Hpefully，we will see a sciety that celebrates inclusivity and the beauty f all skin tnes.

36.【答案】【小题1】a
【小题2】have made
【小题3】be stuck
【小题4】running
【小题5】uncnventinal
【小题6】variety
【小题7】Essentially
【小题8】their
【小题9】which
【小题10】as
【解析】（1）考查冠词。句意：这道菜，一个真正的岩石菜，真的是岩石。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，real是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。
（2）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自从它回归以来，许多街头摊贩都通过嗦丢热获得了暴利。根据时间状语Since its cmeback，可知用现在完成时，主语为名词复数many street vendrs，所以助动词为have，故填have made。
（3）考查动词语态。句意：此前，在湖北沿海地区，渔民们会被困在渔船上，等待轮到他们靠岸。stick和主语之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，前面有wuld，所以be动词为原形be，故填be stuck。
（4）考查现在分词。句意：由于食物越来越少，他们想出了一个创造性的、非传统的主意，用光滑的河石来消磨时间。with的宾语their fd和run ut之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾补，故填running。
（5）考查形容词。句意：由于食物越来越少，他们想出了一个创造性的、非传统的主意，用光滑的河石来消磨时间。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词，根据句意可知表示"非传统的"，所以用形容词uncnventinal，故填uncnventinal。
（6）考查名词的固定短语。句意：这些石头被清洗干净，煮沸，然后与油、大蒜、姜和各种酱汁一起翻炒。a variety f"各种各样的"，为固定短语，故填variety。
（7）考查副词。句意：从本质上讲，这一切都归结为酱汁秘方。修饰句子，所以用副词，句首单词首字母大写，故填Essentially。
（8）考查形容词性物主代词。句意：因为唯一可以吃的就是酱汁，所以每个街头小贩都有自己的秘方。放在名词前面，所以用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
（9）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：但主要成分是一样的---姜、大量的大蒜和辣椒，这些会让你想要冰啤酒或一瓶葡萄酒。先行词为ginger，lts f garlic and spicy chili，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以用which引导，故填which。
（10）考查介词。句意：现在它仍然是一种下酒小菜。根据句意可知表示"作为"，后跟名词，所以用介词as，故填as。
这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了湖北的一道小菜---嗦丢。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的词汇和语法知识。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握语言点及一些语法知识。
