C. what the criminal likes D. what d the criminal lk like
【答案】
15.正确答案是：C. She
句子中提到了“Kate is a kind girl”，说明Kate是一个女孩，所以应该用代词“She”来指代她。因此，选项C“She”是正确的。
16.正确答案是：B. n
句子中提到“n vacatin”，表示“在度假”，所以正确的介词应该是“n”，选项B正确。
17.正确答案是：B. beef
sme后接可数名词复数或不可数名词，而beef是不可数名词，因此B选项是正确的。
18.正确答案是：B. were
句子中使用了last year，表示过去的时间，所以需要用一般过去时。又因为sheep是复数形式，所以需要用were作为be动词的过去式。因此，正确答案是B。
19.正确答案是：B. few
题干中的“friends”是可数名词复数形式，所以需要用修饰可数名词复数的词来修饰它。而“few”表示“几乎没有”，符合题意。因此，B选项是正确答案。
20.正确答案是：C. is cking
题目中问到“你爸爸在哪里”，根据语境可知爸爸正在厨房里做饭，所以应该用现在进行时态，即“is cking”，所以选C。
21.正确答案是：B. played
题干中询问的是“yesterday”，表示过去的时间，所以需要用一般过去时。选项B“played”是一般过去时的形式，符合题意。因此，B是正确答案。
22.正确答案是：B. with glasses
在英语中，描述某人戴着眼镜通常使用介词“with”，表示某人具有某种特征或状态。因此，正确的表达方式应该是“The man with glasses is Tm’s father.”，意思是“戴眼镜的那个人是汤姆的父亲。”因此，答案为B。
23.正确答案是：C. any，s
句子中使用了否定词“didn’t”，所以需要用“any”来修饰“mney”，表示“没有钱”。而后面的句子“he walked back t the htel”是前面句子的结果，所以需要用“s”来连接两个句子，表示“因此他走回酒店”。因此，正确答案是C。
24.正确答案是：A. what the criminal lks like
题目中是一个宾语从句，需要用陈述语序，而且时态要与主句保持一致。选项A中的“what the criminal lks like”是陈述语序，表示“罪犯的长相是什么”，符合题意。而选项B、C、D都存在语序或时态上的错误。
五、选词填空（共5分，每小题1分）
excite; visit; rbt; teach; buy;
根据短文内容，选用方框中的词汇并用其适当形式填空，使文章意思完整。

Sme animals are “shapeshifting”. This means they are feather changing hw their bdies wrk. Scientists have fund that birds’ beaks are larger because f the changing climate (气候). Tday, the glbal climate is rapidly warming.
Scientists fund warm-blded animals can keep their bdy temperature cnstant (恒定). They are adapting t a htter climate. T adapt means t change. Adaptatins help animals stay alive in their envirnment.
Hw Animals Cl Off
Animals have t cntrl their bdy temperature. If they d nt, they can verheat. S animals have different methds t help them cl ff. Birds, fr example, use their beaks, which are nt cvered by feathers. They help birds reduce bdy heat. Mammals (哺乳动物), which breathe air, have backbnes, grw hair and prduce milk, use similar methds. They use their ears, tails and legs t help them cntrl bdy temperature.
Scientists have studied this in the past years. They have studied animals in warmer climates. They knw that sme f these animals have evlved (进化) certain features. These features allw animals t reduce bdy heat mre easily. They are becming mre bvius as the climate warms. This is particularly true in birds.
45
Sara Ryding wrks at Deakin University in Australia and studies birds. “Shapeshifting des nt mean that animals are dealing successfully with climate change and that all is fine,” Ryding said. “It just means they are evlving t stay alive.” The study fund that birds are changing the mst. Fr example, several types f Australian parrts shwed changes. Their beak size has increased since 1871. Their beaks are nw 4% t 10% larger. And that grwth matches the summer temperature each year. Scientists have als reprted changes in ther animals. Tail lengths have increased in wd mice. Bats in warm climates have increased wing size, t. These changes might seem small, but Ryding says that culd change as the planet becmes htter.
Ryding wants t keep studying “shapeshifting”. She will 3D scan museum bird samples (样品) frm the past 100 years. She will see which birds are changing the size f their beaks because f climate change by studying digital cpies f bird samples. Ryding thinks the climate change that we have created is putting pressure (压力) n animals, s humans shuld d mre than just recgnize the changes that animals have t make. She says that sme animals will adapt. Hwever, thers will nt.
44. In “shapeshifting”, ______.
A. birds breathe air and change backbnes
B. bird samples are made int digital cpies
C. birds use their feathers t easily reduce bdy heat
D. birds’ beaks grw larger because f climate change
45. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best heading fr Paragraph 5 and 6?

A. animals are suffering frm human behavir
B. technlgy wn’t end animal “shapeshifting”
C. humans haven’t realized animal “shapeshifting” yet
D. it is natural fr animals t experience climate change
44. 正确答案是：D. birds’ beaks grw larger because f climate change
根据第一段中的描述，鸟类的喙因为气候变化而变大，因此D选项正确。其他选项均与“shapeshifting”无关。
45. 正确答案是：B. All Is Nt Well
最后两段提到了动物在气候变化中面临的挑战，指出并非所有动物都能适应这种变化，因此最好的标题应该是“All Is Nt Well”（并非一切都好）。
46. 正确答案是：A. animals are suffering frm human behavir
最后一段提到，Ryding认为人类创造的气候变化正在给动物带来压力，因此她认为动物正在遭受人类行为的影响。因此，答案为A。
