2．The social media trap of comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of confusion and jealousy.That was certainly true for Lizzie Velasquez. "I will look at everyone's photos and feel horrible about myself，" Velasquez says. "So I have made a rule for myself.If I'm on social media，when I start feeling like I'm falling down the rabbit hole of comparison，I have to stop."
Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez.When she was just 17，a video calling her "The World's Ugliest Woman" became popular on YouTube.It was a difficult period for her. "I suffered from a rare disease which doesn't allow me to gain weight and also affects my eyes，my bones and my heart，" explains Velasquez.
Growing up，Velasquez said she lived in two different worlds.At home，her family treated her just like everyone else.Her parents raised her to appreciate herself.But that got harder when she started school. "I didn't become aware of it until I started kindergarten，because I was entering this other world where I had to face the reality，" says Velasquez.
As Velasquez got into high school，she started to gain more understanding about her condition.But then came the YouTube video，which threatened her already-shaky foundation.Though it was difficult，that moment of bullying（霸凌）inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good.She wanted to stop this behavior.Then she gave a talk about her story，reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty.And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart：The Lizzie Velasquez Story. "I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you，you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique，" says Velasquez.
（1）Where did Velasquez's teenage pressure mainly come from？
A．Her tense relationships with her parents.
B．Others' criticism of her appearance.
C．Others' concern about her disease.
D．Her popularity on social media.
（2）How can we describe Lizzie Velasquez？
A．Brave and inspiring.
B．Talented and confident.
C．Sociable and popular.
D．Caring and warm-hearted.
（3）What did Velasquez do to fight online bullying？
A．Avoid using social media for a while.
B．Call on people to talk directly with the bullies.
C．Encourage the young to improve their taste in beauty.
D．Speak out against the behavior by sharing her experiences.
（4）What does the author mainly tell us in the text？

3．Around the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining，according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources in May.
The review，entitled The State of the Worlds Birds，showed that more than 5，200 different species of birds—just shy of half the world's total —are known or suspected to be declining.Around 3，800 species are relatively stable，and fewer than 700 species show increases.Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species，almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades （moving from vulnerable to threatened，or threatened to endangered）—five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.
"After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone （according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science），it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally，" says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg.a conservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.
The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat—resulting from climate change，urbanization，agricultural intensification，and international trade—as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide.In a note of hope，the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.
Lead author Alexander Lees，a research associate at the Cormell Lab，also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. "Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources，" says Lees， "We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef，oil，and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world."
（1）In what order are threatened species arranged on the IUCN's Red List？
A．Species quantity.
B．Conservation status.
C．Declining rate.
D．Living habitat.
（2）How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words？
A．Concerned.
B．Relieved.
C．Doubtful.
D．Hopeful.
（3）What does the underlined "avert" mean in paragraph 4？
A．Protect.
B．Increase.
C．Cause.
D．Prevent.
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A．Extra reasons for bird extinction.
B．Possible solutions to habitat loss.
C．Substantial changes in human behavior.
D．The prospect of biodiversity loss.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates.They had two hands while he had one.Due to their young age，Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something.
It started when one boy laughed at him.From that day，5-year-old Jayce turned sad.He returned home with questions. "Why am I different？Why me？Why？" He cried to ask his mother，Lewis Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way，the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart.What made her more sorrowful was that she didn't know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son's questions which she could never find out herself.The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later，Lewis turned on the TV to a news story，where she was shocked to find out the answer.It was Trashaun，an eighth grader，that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe.The 14-year-old sunny boy performed his slam dunks（大灌籃）on the TV，who had been a hit on the Internet.However，like Jayce，he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood!Lewis called her son Jayce in.The poor little boy got spellbound，watching dunk after dunk.
At the time，it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce.He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life.And had it stayed just that，Lewis would have been happy.But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun，asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.
