21．（6分）We all think plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.
45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed
out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.
“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制)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 can’t yet quantify. ’’
The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行动物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). 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.
Warm-blooded animals aren’t im mune(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, compared with historical records.
This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.
The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.
1、What does the text mainly talk about_______
A．Why some species become smaller.
B．How clima te changes in Earth’s history?
C．Climate change has many negative effects.
D．Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.
2、The underlined word “trumped” m the first paragraph probably mean_________.
A．strengthened B．gained
C．beaten D．equaled
3、Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that________
A．they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller.
B．all the animals on the earth have become smaller.
C．climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.
D．increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller.
4、What does the author feel about the climate change?
A．Disappointed B．Optimistic
C．Worried D．Shameful
22．（8分）Google is consistently rated the best place to work.So you need a degree from Harvard to in the door,right?
Not really，according to Laszlo Bock，Google's Head of People Operations.When the company was small,Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford,MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong”hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places,from state schools in California to New York.
“What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good，if not better，as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school，”said Bock，who just authored a book titled“Work Rules!”
Every year，2 million people apply to get a job at Google. Bock himself has seen some 25,000 résumés.
So what else does Google not care about:
Grades:Google's data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career，but do not matter after that.
Brain-teasers:Gone are interview questions such as:Why are manhole covers（井盖)round? or How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?“Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,”Bock said“They’re a really coachable skill.The more you practice,you get better at it.”
Here's what Google does care about:
Problem solvers:Your cognitive ability(认知能力),or how well you solve problems.
Leaders:The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but
rather:“When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,”and then critically，“Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?”
Googleyness:That's what Google calls its cultural fit.It's not“Are you like us?”Bock said.“We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.”
“What's most important is that people are intellectually humble,willing to admit when they're wrong,and care about the environment around them...because we want people who think like owners not employess,”Bock said.
The least important thing?Knowing how to do the job.
“We figure if you get the first three right you'll figure it out most of the time.”
1、What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2?
A．People from state schools can be as good.
B．Google no longer hires people from Ivy League schools.
C．Hiring is a hard job for Google.
D．State schools are worse than Ivy League ones.
2、Which question belongs to a brain-teaser?
A．What are your grades like?
B．What is the significance of figuring out target users?
C．How would you improve a Google product?
D．How much toilet paper is needed to cover Texas?
3、Who is a qualified leader according to Google?
A．One eager for power. B．One capable of working independently.
C．One willing to step aside. D．One operating an organization.
4、What is Googleyness?
A．Being unique. B．Being adaptable.
C．Being qualified. D．Being loyal.

She now serves as president，and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.

I told him to 9 his work that way. To do his assignment, all of them, and to get them in on time. I added that most 10 students I knew made a timetable of all the assignment so they could 11 their workload.

treasures. From the program, I not only appreciated different styles of ancient art, but also learned

about the hardship as well as the pleasure the masters experienced. Some of them told the journalist that seeing the treasure glowing again, they felt all their efforts were totally worth it.

Their words inspired me to take responsibility to inherit and carry forward the traditional culture.

A. One possible version:
Dear Chris,
I am writing to invite you to pay a visit to a local folk culture village with us next Saturday. As scheduled, we'll meet at the school gate at 8:00 a.m. and go there by bus half an hour later.
After arriving at the village, we will first have a taste of some delicious local dishes. Best of all, we can learn to make some local snacks like spring rolls! Over lunch, we will watch glove puppetry, a famous folk performance. Then we can enjoy the sight of the typical buildings with strong Southern Fujian characteristics. I believe it will be a great chance for you to explore the traditional folk culture.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you are available. We are all looking forward to your coming.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
