14.In 2015,Adele Adkins(阿黛尔•阿德金斯) said"hello"to her greatest achievement yet.Despite giving every other musician an 11-month head start,she had no trouble  (61)beating (beat) the competition,(62)becoming (become) not only the year's most talked-about artist,but also its  (63)most successful one.Her third album,25,(64)released ( release) on Nov 20,not only broke a record for one-week album sales in just over three days,but also sold more than US singer Taylor Swift's 1989to become  (65)the best-selling album of 2015.No  (66)wonder USA Today named Adele"Musician of the Year"on Dec 28.
So what is behind the album's (67)popularity (popular)?First and foremost,the 27-year-old British singer has"an awe-inspiring voice that shows her genuine talent",wrote The Christian Science Monitor.But her directness is also a huge part of her appeal(魅力).As the Chicago Tribute commented,"Adele sings about her personal struggles"with emotional lyrics (歌词) that invite everyone into her world.
Take the album's hit single Hello  (68)as an example.Adele has connected with people this tear-stained(泪痕斑斑的)song because,as the Chicago Tribute (芝加哥论坛报) put it,"who doesn't need a good cry once in a while?"Music,after all,is (69)what Chris Ferguson,an associate professor of psychology at Stetson University in Florida called"a social event."The pain in her songs satisfies everyone's need for love."It is this sense of‘we've been here before'(70)that makes Adele,"said the Chicago Tribute.

分析 2015年是阿黛尔•阿德金斯最大收获的一年,她的新唱片打破了泰勒在1989年的记录,成为2015销量最好的唱片,难怪《今日美国》把2015年称作阿黛尔年.
唱片受到欢迎背后的原因是什么呢?一是因为她美丽的嗓音,更是由于表现她个人奋斗的激励人心的歌词.比如《Hello》这首歌里的疼痛满足了每一个人的需求,毕竟谁不会偶尔需要大哭一场呢.所以说是我们也曾经有过这种事情的感觉造就了阿黛尔的成功.

解答 61.beating.考查固定句式.have no trouble doing sth表示"做某事没有麻烦". 
62.becoming.考查非谓语动词.becoming not only the year's most talked-about artist,but also its  是she had no trouble  (61)beating (beat) the competition的结果状语,表示她打败其他人的结果,是必然结果,所以用doing.
63.most.考查形容词的最高级.和 most talked-about artist并列,所以用 successful的最高级.
64.released.考查非谓语动词.release做定语修饰主语Her third album,二者之间是被动关系,所以用released,表示"被发行的第三张唱片".
65.the.考查最高级.形容词最高级best-selling 前用the.
66.wonder.考查固定短语.no wonder表示"难怪",本句表示"难怪《今日美国》把2015年称作阿黛尔年".
 67.popularity.考查派生词.跟在所有格the album's 后用名词popularity,表示"这张唱片的流行".
68.as.考查固定短语.take sth as an example表示"以某事为例".
 69.what.考查名词性从句.what引导is的表语从句,表示"音乐是被Chris Ferguson称作社会大事件的东西."
70.that.考查强调句式.that和It is 构成强调句式,强调主语this sense of‘we've been here before',表示"是我们也曾经有过这种事情的感觉造就了阿黛尔."

点评 考查语法填空.
what在 引导名词性从句往往不是疑问的概念,而是陈述一件事.
what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义,常表示"什么","所…的","…的样子"等.二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分,而且常做主语,宾语或表语

3.Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals,causing them to wake up earlier.While this may seem a little concern,it is in fact a serious environmental problem.The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant decreases in the population of several species.
Some of the first evidence of the problem came from Colorado,where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab have been observing marmot (旱獭) hibernation behavior since the 1970s.In the early days of their studies,marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May.Nowadays,however,temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5degrees Fahrenheit,and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.
At least the marmots are still hibernating.Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently.Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year.Chipmunks (花鼠) in the US and some snakes in Australia also skipped the hibernation period.The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals.The chipmunks and snakes,however,were not so lucky.Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.
The problem with animals waking up early,or skipping hibernation altogether,lies with the creatures'metabolism (新陈代谢).When the animals hibernate,their metabolism drops significantly.The animals'heart rate slows,and they require very little energy to live.When the animals awake in the spring,their metabolism returns to normal.
But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation,food sources aren't as available as they were before.A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer,thinking it's spring,but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to grow.So until the plants grow,the marmots have no reliable food source.
Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse.For many biologists,that's a scary prospect.Terry Root,an animal expert at Stanford University,said,"I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species."

32.What is the viewpoint of the writer?B
A.Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.
B.Waking up early in spring may lead to the extinction of some animals.
C.Shortened hibernation will definitely decrease the population of animals.
D.Animals which do not hibernate die of starvation.
33.The writer sets the example of the marmot in order toA.
A.indicate that global warming influences animals'hibernation
B.explain that the weather gets warmer and warmer now
C.show that the weather in the United States is quite different
D.say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather
34.Judging from recent observation,which of the following animals suffered the LEAST from shortened hibernation?A
A.Brown bears.
B.Marmots.
C.Some snakes in Australia.
D.Chipmunks in the US.
35.Why can't marmots find enough food when they wake up?D
A.Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.
B.Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.
C.Because winter days end much earlier than before.
D.Because plants haven't received enough sunlight for spring growth.
