That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.t immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, pared with historical records. The change is big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行動物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陳代謝). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing. We do not yet know the mechanisms(機(jī)制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected, the researchers said. Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can39。 We all think plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(濕度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide said researchers from the National University of Singapore.【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇生活類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)全文的主題句“A recent study shows that people aren39。s a social stigma for people who watch too much television. ”可知看太多電視,被認(rèn)為不光彩,由此推知當(dāng)一個人被認(rèn)為是一個成天看電視的人,他會感覺很羞恥,故選B。(3)考查推理判斷。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“There39。people lie about how much television they watch.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,作者分析了人們瞞報看電視的時間的原因。there are some interesting facts of watching TV.B.what the effects of watching TV are.D.excitedB.fortableD.18yearolds watch more TV than someone in their 60s.C.The most popular media source is the internet.Because there39。t want others to know what they watched.Because they may be laughed at by coworkers or friends.C.Because the show they watched is not the latest.s a social stigma for people who watch too much television.

Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the study39。 The study in question was conducted at Ball State University in the US. Researchers there wanted to find out how much television people view according to their age. The study was paid for by a council associated with the Nielsen Company, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and puters,but the majority were television screens. How much television do you watch? Did you really give an honest answer?
