Climate change is nt nly a human prblem; animals have t adapt t it as well. Sme “warm-blded” animals are shapeshifting (变形) and getting larger legs, ears, and beaks t better cntrl their bdy temperatures as the planet gets htter. Bird researcher Sara Ryding f Deakin University in Australia describes these changes in a review.
“It’s high time we recgnized that animals als have t adapt t these changes, and this is ccurring ver a far shrter time than wuld have ccurred thrugh mst f evlutinary time,” says Ryding. “The climate change that we have created is putting a lt f pressure n them, and while sme species will adapt, thers will nt.”
Ryding ntes that climate change is a cmplex phenmenn that’s been ccurring gradually, s it’s difficult t determine just ne cause f the shapeshifting. But these changes have been ccurring acrss wide gegraphical regins and amng a variety f species, s there is little in cmmn apart frm climate change.
Strng shapeshifting has particularly been reprted in birds. Several species f Australian parrt have shwn, n average, a 4% t 10% increase in size since 1871, and this is psitively assciated with the summer temperature each year. Nrth American dark-eyed juncs, a type f small sngbird, had a link between increased size and shrt- term temperature extremes in cld envirnments. There have als been reprted changes in mammalian(哺乳动物) species. Researchers have reprted tail length increases in wd mice. “The increases in appendage(附肢) size we see s far are quite small—less than 10%—s the changes are unlikely t be immediately nticeable,” says Ryding. “Hwever, prminent(突出的) appendages such as ears are predicted t increase.”
Next, Ryding intends t investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds by 3D scanning museum bird samples(样本) frm the past 100 years. Undubtedly, it will give her team a better understanding f which birds are changing appendage size due t climate change and why.
32．What is the purpse f paragraph 1?
A．T intrduce a bird researcher.B．T present a shapeshifting phenmenn.
C．T explain the cause f climate change.D．T state the terrible influence f climate change.
33．What can be inferred abut animals’ shapeshifting frm paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．It is slwer than their evlutin.B．It’s impssible t determine its cause.
C．It is a glbal phenmenn beynd species.D．Climate change is its pssible cause.
34．What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A．The examples f shapeshifting.B．The effects f shapeshifting.
C．The explanatins f shapeshifting.D．The histry f shapeshifting.
35．Which f the fllwing will Ryding’s next study fcus n?
A．The speed f shapeshifting.B．The cause f climate change.
C．The samples f Australian birds.D．The understanding f bird histry.

Walking has been cnsidered as ne kind f rewarding exercise. Fr many peple, daily walking ffers massive and lng-term physical and mental benefits. 36 A Stanfrd University study fund that participants were mre creative when walking as ppsed t sitting.
37 Yu’ve prbably heard the phrase “exercise yur creativity”. Our creative mindset is stirred up by physical mvement, which is exactly why walking with yur dg, a friend, r alne feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almst as imprtant as the sweat. Just by ging utside, yu are stepping ut f yur habitual surrundings and yur cmfrt zne, which is necessary if yu want t pen yur mind t new pssibilities. Yu can walk thrugh a tree-filled neighbrhd. 38 Even when yu walk dwn a busy street, yu can’t help but get distracted(分神) by the sweet smells frm a fd cart r the child pinting t a building yu haven’t even nticed befre.
Walking utside develps ur ability t cllect new ideas and take in new sights, sunds, smells, and flavrs. Shinrin-yku, a cmmn frm f relaxatin in Japan, suggests that being in the frest and walking amng the trees there can lwer yur stress levels. 39 Research has shwn that getting clse t nature arund yur neighbrhd r taking a break frm multimedia increases perfrmance n a creative prblem- slving task.
S instead f setting a fitness gal, why nt set a creativity gal that starts with walking utdrs? 40 Fr example, yu can turn ff yur phne and give yurself the chance t be present in the wrld, t hear cnversatins and natural sunds, and t ntice the way peple mve and the way the sun reflects in a lake. Walk nt just fr exercise. Walk fr wnder.
A．Unfrtunately, yu ften fail t d it.
B．Expse yurself mre t yur surrundings.
C．The mvement during walking is bviusly key.
D．Withut enugh energy, yu cannt wnder r create.
E．But t receive the benefits, yu d nt have t live in a frest.
F．This habit, hwever, nt nly benefits well-being but als cntributes t creativity.
G．Wandering arund a park and bserving peple relaxing r birds singing is als a chice.
