26、Known for its skyscrapers and megamalls, Singapore is perhaps not so well-known for its abundance of trees. But according to a new study, it ranks top in the world for urban tree density (密度).
According to the study, almost 30% of the city-state is covered by trees, which is nearly 4% more than joint second-place cities Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, Canada. The study was completed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) and has measured the urban green canopy (天蓬似的树荫)of 17 key cities around the world using Google Street View data. Of the 17 cities, Paris has the fewest trees with only 8.8% of its urban area covered by greenery. “The green canopy is an important and integral part of urban life. Trees help mitigate extreme temperatures, provide a natural relief from traffic jam and noise, and improve the quality of life for those living in urban environments,”says Treepedia, the website which hosts the findings of the study. The project has the aim of encouraging city planners and residents to do more to promote greenery in their cities.
Nicknamed the City in a Garden, Singapore’s top place spot is no surprise. Parks such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Botanic Gardens and the newer Gardens by the Bay super park — home to around 400,000 plants—have no doubt contributed to its winning place. The city also has a considerable number of roof gardens and “skyrise” greenery on the front wall of buildings—in fact this type of greenery alone has increased from 61 hectares in 2013 to 72 hectares in 2015. Singapore’s National Parks Board also manages around two million individual trees along streets, and in parks.
【1】Which of the following cites have the least urban green canopy?
A.Sydney.
B.Vancouver.
C.Paris.
D.Singapore.
【2】What does the underlined word "mitigate" in paragraph 2 probably mean ?

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Why Singapore is so green.
B.The architecture in Singapore.
C.How Singaporeans plant trees.
D.The amazing parks in Singapore.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Green City, Green Life
B.How to Make a City Greener
C.A Study on Green Cities in the World
D.Singapore, the Greenest City in the World
27、School kids have always complained about having tons of homework. A study offers ways to reduce the load (负荷).children are carrying to avoid hurting young shoulders and backs.
Children generally carry about 22 percent of their body weight in backpacks—for a teenager, that can reach more than 30 pounds of books, food, calculators, and other necessities of modern life. When that amount of pressure is placed on one or two narrow shoulder straps (带子), the weight can easily reduce blood flow to kids’ skin and muscles (肌肉).
Even at 10 percent of body weight, the pressures were still high, and that hasn’t been measured before,’’ said Brandon Macias. According to the study, the pressures were measured when the packs were loaded with 10 percent of the students’ body weight, then 20 percent, and finally 30 percent. An unusual finding came to light—even when both straps were used, pressure on the students’ shoulders was uneven (不平均的). It seems like the right shoulder becomes loaded more, which over a period of years may cause back pain.
The research team came up with the following advice based on its study. The backpack should be positioned (放置) high on the back, reducing the stress on the shoulders and back. And backpack straps should be positioned over both shoulders, lowering the amount of weight carried by one shoulder. Wider straps also reduce the pressure on the shoulders. And finally, the weight in backpacks should be reduced.
【1】The study mentioned above was carried out for the purpose of ________.
A. helping kids grow taller
B. improving students’ grades
C. reducing kids’ chances of having back pain
D. helping students with pressure in their studies
【2】Which of the following statements about the students’ backpacks is right?
A. The bag with one shoulder strap is more suitable for students.
B. The weight of the backpack should be 22% of their body weight.
C. The two straps of a bag don’t share the same weight from a bag.
D. Students usually carry a bag about 10 percent of their body weight
【3】The underlined phrase “came to light” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. was changed B. was tested
C. was impossible D. was known
【4】The following are suggested by the research team EXCEPT ________.
A. using wider straps

C. positioning the school bags high on the back
D. using more than one bag for kids, school things

29、Another person’s enthusiasm (热忱) was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm. ”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She moved our family into the county seat (别墅), where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人). My father became the wealthiest man in town.
