D Scientists have recreated a 1985 study of birds in Peru that shows climate change is pushing them from their natural environment. Thirty years ago, researchers studied more than 400 kinds of birds living on a mountainside in Peru. In 2017, researchers looked again at the bird populations. They found that almost all had moved to higher places in the mountain. Almost all had decreased in size. And, the scientists say at least eight bird groups that move to the higher altitude had died out pletely.Mark Urban, director of the Center of Biological Risk at the University of Connecticut, said this recent study was the first to prove that rising temperatures and moving to avoid them can lead to extinction.In 1985, Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, and a team of scientists established a camp alongside a river running down a mountainside in southeastern Peru. He wanted to document where tropical bird groups lived. His team spent several weeks using nets to catch and release birds. They kept detailed notes of birds they caught, saw or heard. In 2016, Fitzpatrick passed his notes, photos and other records to Benjamin Freeman. Freeman who has been researching tropical birds for more than 10 years set out in August and September of 2017 to copy Fitzpatrick’s study. His team used the same methods, searching the same places at the same time of year.Freeman said that the birds moved an average of 98 meters further up the mountain, believing that temperature is the main cause of the birds’ movement. Fitzpatrick noted that birds used to living in areas with little temperature change might be especially at risk because of climate change. He said, “We should expect what39。s happening on this mountain top is happening more generally in the Andes, and other tropical mountain ranges.”32. Which of the following is NOT the effect that temperature has on birds? A. They left their original environment. B. They decrease in size.C. Some of them bee extinct. D. Their food resources decrease.33. What can we learn from the passage?A. Scientists had never studied the birds in Peru before 1985.B. Fitzpatrick and his team studied the birds by seeing and raising them.C. Climate change might pose little threat to birds if temperatures change less in their habitat. D. Climate change will also affect the birds in other tropical mountain areas.34. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Climate is changing in the mountain area in Peru.B. Climate changes rarely do any damage to birds.C. Moving up to avoid rising temperatures can lead to birds’ death.D. Scientists began to study the causes of animal extinction in Peru.35. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. An economy report. B. A science magazine.C. A social website. D. A biology textbook.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。A Few Active Listening Guidelines Listening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal munication.
