A comparison of nesting data recorded in the early 1900s with similar data today for more than200 species of California birds shows that over all they are breeding(*1)5 to 12 days earlier than they did 75 to 100 years ago. Earlier studies found that many but not all birds in California’s mountains are moving north or to higher altitude to find cooler temperatures in the face of global warming. \birds to nest at similar temperatures as they did a century ago, and helps explain why half the bird species in the mountainous areas of California did not need to shift upward in altitude in response to climate warming over the past century, said Steven Beissinger, a UC Berkeley professor of environmental sciences.
Early spring arrivals have long been noted by the public and reported by scientists, but the assumption has been that the birds are tracking resources, primarily food: with warming temperatures.plants produce leaves and seeds earlier, and insects appear earlier.
The new study spotlights another major reason: by nesting a week earlier, birds produce eggs and young at a temperature about 1 degree Celsius lower than if they nested at the normal time in the same place. This exactly
counter balances (抵消) the approximately 1 degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the past century. “By nesting a week or 10 days earlier.birds are avoiding some of the negative effects of climate warming. \than we thought, and not all species may need to move farther north or to higher altitudes.\don't know yet whether staying in place and shifting schedules earlier is a permanent solution, or only provides temporary relief from the 2 degree Celsius rise in temperatures forecast to occur.
Birds may find, for example, that the window of good temperatures for breeding becomes shorter.which may limit the opportunity to re-nest if they fail the first time. Larger species that have a longer nesting period might not have an enough time to complete their nests before it starts to become too warm, he said. 32. To fight against the global warming, earlier studies found that A. some birds tried to find cooler places B. some birds failed to nest more than ever C. some birds began to produce eggs earlier D. some birds woke up earlier to catch insects 33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Early birds catch insects and get tender leaves B. Global warming is responsible for earlier springs C. Birds are smart in adapting to the climate changes D. Birds are likely to have difficulty in breeding ways 34. What is mainly talked about in the passage A. Birds’ moving north and global warming. B. Early breeding of birds and climate changes C. Changes of birds’ life and early spring arrivals D. Birds, reaction and early appearance of foods.
35 .what's Steve Beissinger's attitude to the finding according to the passage? A. Disappointed. B. Panic C. Relieved D. Flexible 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Making good mates is important. 36 Giving in to pressure from your friends to do something you normally wouldn't do can leave you feeling guilty, regretful, ashamed, embarrassed or even frightened. Find out what peer pressure is and how to handle it.
37 If you're doing something you wouldn't normally do, or are not doing somethingyou'd like to do, simply so that you'll be accepted by the people you hang out with, you're suffering from peer pressure. Peer pressure can influence the way you dress or wear your hair. the activities you get involved in, even the music you listen to.
Peer pressure isn't always a bad thing. 38 For example, when your friends stop you from doing something dumb that you'll later regret. But often peer pressure can be linked to negativestuff, since you have to put pressure on yourself to fit in with your friendship group. because of certain standards they’ve set or comments they' ve made. One example of peer pressure is pressure to diet or body-build.
Your friends have strict diet or workout plans, so you might feel like you also need to achieve the perfect body. 39 Are you bored with calculating the nutritional value of everything you eat? Are your workouts feeling boring, because you'd rather be doing something else? If so, maybe you're dieting or working out just to fit in with your mates
