26、   Two years ago, photographer Gen started his latest project visiting local communities in Latin America. The photo that gave birth to his “You are so beautiful” project was entirely unplanned.

In January 2015, Gen was in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. He had been trying to get his female subject to feel more comfortable before his camera, and when a request for her to smile didn’t quite work, he found himself telling her she was beautiful. The result of his shot was so sincere and heartwarming that he decided he had found the concept of his new project. Gen is still on his journey to capture the power of this compliment (赞美). The photos he’s already published on his website, however, show the unbelievable effect these simple words can have.

When asked to have her photo taken, Mathilda from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, said, “I don’t have any teeth. Please don’t make me laugh.” After being told she was beautiful, she didn’t seem to mind anymore. “She and I laughed a lot. It was a nice moment.” Gen said.

Margarita was selling fruit on a street in Otavalo, Ecuador, when Gen approached her. She agreed to pose for a picture after the photographer bought some of her fruit, but still didn’t smile when he asked her to. Her smile was genuine, though, when she heard the compliment.

Gen met Juliana in a village in northern Colombia where desert meets the Caribbean Sea. The region is extremely dry, with some months seeing almost no rain, and Juliana wore a mask to protect her face from the sun. She was selling handicrafts when Gen approached her, and smiled happily when she received the compliment.

Mimba and baby Maya are from Brazil’s Marubo tribe. Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo. She seemed to relax, though, when he paid her a compliment.

【1】Where was the inspiration for Gen’s latest project from?

A.His unplanned travel. B.Praise for his photos.

C.A shooting experience. D.His love for photography.

【2】Who did Gen meet twice?

A.Margarita. B.Mimba.

C.Mathilda. D.Juliana.

【3】What do the examples convey?

A.Gen thought highly of his subjects.

B.Sincere praise makes successful shots.

C.Complimenting applies to nearly all women.

D.Women are nervous when having photos taken.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To introduce the effect of photography.

B.To provide some advice on complimenting.

C.To share his experiences of complimenting.

D.To show the amazing power of complimenting.

27、Birds’ bodies are becoming smaller in size in response to climate change, even in places like the Amazon rainforest that are relatively untouched by human hands, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances.

Researchers found that nearly all of the birds’ bodies have become lighter since the 1980s, losing on average about 2% of their body weight every decade. For an average bird species that weighed about 30 grams in the 1980s, the population now averages about 27.6 grams. The study also revealed that wingspan was getting bigger in the Amazon bird species studied.

These birds don’t vary that much in size. When everyone in the population is a couple of grams smaller, it’s significant. This is undoubtedly happening all over and probably not just with birds.

A lower body weight and increasing wing length means that birds use energy more efficiently, the researchers noted. For example, compared with a fighter jet with short wings that needs lots of fuel to fly, a glider plane with a thin body and long wings flies up into the air with much less energy.

The study concluded that a warmer climate was the driving force of these changes. The climate in Brazilian Amazonia, where the birds lived, had gotten hotter and wetter over the study period. Since 1966, rainfall increased by 13% in the wet season and fell by 15% in the dry, with temperatures increasing by 1 degree Celsius in the wet season and 1.65 degrees Celsius in the dry season. The change in climate might have made food or other resources insufficient.

Together, body proportions moved in the direction of more efficient flight and lower metabolic heat production and are consistent with a plastic or genetic adaptation to resource or thermal stress under climate change.

Animals are dealing with climate change in different ways.

【1】What is the direct cause of birds’ changes?

A．A warmer climate.

B．A scientific advance.

C．A lack of sufficient food.

D．A lack of drinking water

【2】Why is a glider plane mentioned in paragraph 4?

A．To show planes fly with much less fuel.

B．To prove birds need much energy to fly.

C．To demonstrate birds’ efficient energy use.

D．To illustrate planes need lots of fuel to fly.

【3】What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．Animals’ other body part changes.

B．People’s attempts to protect animals.

C．Birds’ adaptation to climate change.

D．Animals’ ways to tackle climate change

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Birds Nowadays Also Have to Adapt to Climate Change

B．The Climate Crisis Is Influencing Birds’ Body Shapes

C．It’s Our Duty to Take Measures to Protect Birds on the Planet

D．It’s Time to Raise Human Beings’ Awareness of Climate Crisis
