21、Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation (冬眠) period could actually lead to significant declines in the populations of several species.
Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots are waking up about a month earlier.
At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.
The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陈代谢). When an animal hibernates, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’ heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.
But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have gotten the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.
Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said: “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species.”
【1】What is the viewpoint of the writer?
A．Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.
B．Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.
C．Shortened hibernation could result in declines in the population of animals.
D．Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.
【2】The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to __________.
A．explain that global warming influences animals’ hibernation.
B．indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer now.
C．show that the weather in the United States is quite different.
D．say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather.
【3】The underlined word “slumber” in the fourth paragraph means _________.
A．weather.
B．activity.
C．nest.
D．sleep.
【4】Why can’t marmots find enough food when they wake up?
A．Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.
B．Because plants haven’t received enough sunlight for spring growth.
C．Because winter days end much earlier than before.
D．Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.
22、People can be addicted to different things -- e.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to the psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. 【1】. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices and discounts. 【2】. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, the experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason and the real reason.
It is not only the scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also the business people. 【3】. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
【4】. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
A．Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business.
B．Recognize and change the spending habits that can cause you to be overloaded with debt.
C．Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things they don’t need just because they are cheap.
D．Psychologists can often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personality problems.
E．They feel they must spend money.
F．Stop buying so much stuff and try to spend more money on experiences
23、 Many people heard about the “Little Free Library”, which was a movement that let people swap a book for another or take it and bring it back. Now, people are joining in the “Little Free Pantry” idea, which shares a similar value of spreading kindness with mini pantries.
One family who live in Boise, Idaho, have a three-year-old son who wanted to build something for his third birthday, so they decided that they would build a community pantry box that they would share with their neighbors. They felt that they had everything they wanted, so they wanted to give a little something back to the community and help the people in need.
The idea is that the family fill this box up with non-perishable (不易腐的) items, which include tins, toiletries, and other goods. However, it’s meant to be a community give and take, so other people would also contribute to adding to this mini-pantry.
It seems that the idea has taken off in other communities who also want to give a little something back and help those in need. It’s the kind of movement that helps the struggling members of the community, allowing them to live knowing that they can have a can of soup for dinner if they have nothing else. Or that sanitary products are available.
The Millers keep their little pantry going, realizing that it’s emptiest toward the end of the month, so they know that it’s really helping people. They don’t believe that anyone has taken advantage of it and that it’s only helped people.
Various other communities have taken on the mini pantries project in order to spread a little kindness within their community.
【1】Why is “Little Free Library” mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．To show the striking difference between it and “Little Free Pantry”.
B．To help readers have a better understanding of “Little Free Pantry”.
C．To encourage people to take “Little Free Library” as an example.
D．To prove that most people are just so kind as to help those in need.
【2】Why did the family build the “Little Free Pantry”?
A．To let others know about their son’s birthday.
B．To show that they lived in great abundance,
C．To egress gratitude and offer help to others.
D．To test if people in the community are honest.
【3】Whom is Free Pantry most helpful to?
A．Those who can’t go shopping often.
B．Those who want to show kindness.
C．Those who want to celebrate birthdays.
D．Those who live in great poverty.
【4】How is the “Little Free Library” idea going?
A．The community pantry box is always empty.
B．People take advantage of others’ kindness.
C．More items are badly needed to refill the box.
D．It is gaining more and more popularity.
