These special adaptations are written in the genome(基因组) and passed down from generation to generation.

15、 This information can help scientists project into the future as well. Reading an animals genes can help us predict whether an organism(有机体) might adapt to rapid changes in their environment, like those brought on by climate change, so as to match conservation efforts for atrisk species.A group of b

16、iologists are associated with the Bird Genoscape Project that is concerned with the effects of a changing climate. They investigated this question by using yellow warblers(黄莺) and found that some genes looked different in birds from rainy regions when compared with the same genes in birds living in

17、dry zones. These birds have ideally adapted to their local climates.But if birds have adapted to their current climate, what will happen in the coming years as the climate changes?Many regions of the US are predicted to get warmer and drier over the next century. Because the biologists had an idea o

18、f which genetic changes are ideal for each climate, they could calculate how much the genome sequences of yellow warbler populations would have to change over the next 50 years to match the genetic conditions of yellow warblers in future conditions. Yellow warblers in some regions, like the Rocky Mo

19、untains, showed very high levels of genomic vulnerability(脆弱性), suggesting they would need many changes in their genomes to keep up with climate change. Meanwhile, yellow warblers from other regions, like the Midwest, had low genomic vulnerability and were less at risk.When we compared genomic vulne

20、rability to changes in yellow warbler populations over the past 50 years, in areas like parts of California and the Rocky Mountains, which had the highest genomic vulnerability, yellow warbler populations have already declined. This could mean that climate change has already affected these populatio

21、ns, and those effects are likely to become even more severe over the next century.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。动物的基因可以体现其对环境的适应能力。科学家们通过研究动物的基因以帮助预测这些动物是否能够适应未来的环境变化，从而保护濒危动物。1Why should we study the genes of animals according to the author?ATo protect them from extinction.BTo study the climate change in history.

24、 US?AMost of them can adapt to the climate change easily.BFew of them will exist in Rocky Mountains in the future.CTheir population is related with the level of genomic vulnerability.DThe change in their DNA code can help them adapt to climate change.C解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容及第五段的第一句话可知，在一些地区，黄莺的基因脆弱性较强，气候

25、变化使这些地区的黄莺数量不断减少，由此推断，黄莺的数量与其基因脆弱性水平密切相关。4Whats the main idea of the passage?AAnimals DNA can tell their adaptability.BYellow warblers are highly vulnerable species.CChanging is the matter of life and death.DEnvironment affects animals genome.A解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述的是动物的基因可以体现其对环境的适应能力。 完形填空Because I had p
