24、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".

Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

"We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

【1】The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .

A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth

C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees

【2】"Mother trees" are extremely important because they .

A. look the largest in size in the forest B. pass on nutrition to young trees

C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans D. know more about the complex "tree societies"

【3】The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to .

A. how "tree societies" work B. how trees grow old

C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive

【4】We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. trees aren’t as complex as we think

B. Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard

C. if “Mother trees” are cut down, they won’t make difference to young trees.

D. trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks.

25、   We are all encouraged to work hard and succeed in life. _________ Perhaps you are afraid of failure, or even think it’s shameful to fail. If you visit the Museum of Failure in Shanghai, you might change your mind. Samuel West, a Swedish psychologist (心理学家), set up the museum. The museum shows more than 100 failed products. Some of them were made by the most famous and successful companies in the world.

For example, in 1993, Apple made the Newton Message pad (掌上电脑) which could be used to take electronic notes by hand. But it couldn’t recognize (识别) handwriting very well. Apple stopped making it in 1997. Coca-Cola once developed a coffee-flavored soda (苏打水) in 2006. The company wanted to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee, but the product was taken off the market in 2008.

West said the failed products are not shown to make fun of these companies. He thinks success stories are all similar. He is tired of reading and hearing the same boring stories. As German-American physicist Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

This idea has been welcomed by many big companies. Silicon Valley, for example, is home to some of the world’s most innovate (创新的) tech companies. A common slogan (口号) there is “Fail fast, fail often.”

There are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace (拥抱) out-of-the-box thinking and allow their staff to make mistakes and see what happens.” Simon Casuto wrote for Forbes.

It seems that failure isn’t always a bad thing. The key is whether or not you can learn from your mistakes.

【1】Which of the following sentences can be put in the __________?

A.And the secret to success is working hard and believing in yourselves.

B.And it is important to learn how to be successful in life.

C.But success is not important at all for those excellent companies.

D.But failure is still a common part of everyone’s life.

【2】Samuel West set up the Museum of Failure _________.

A.to catch up with people’s growing love for coffee

B.to make fun of these companies

C.to stop people making the similar mistakes

D.to tell people failure might be something good

【3】The writer tried to support his idea mainly by _________.

A.listing examples

B.imagining stories

C.making comparisons

D.listing numbers

【4】What does the underlined sentences “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” mean according to the passage?

A.It means it’s not necessary to try anything new.

B.It means there are some people who never make mistakes.

C.It means once you make mistakes often, you can surely create new things.

D.It means making mistakes is common when trying new things.

26、   We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, around by people who are, like us, deeply look at their smartphones or, worse, fighting with the uncomfortable silence.

What’s the problem? It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big advantages.

Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”

In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to look for an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive (积极的) feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging (归属感), a relationship with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners.” he says.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A.Interest in smartphones. B.Unsuitable behaviours in public places.

C.Absence of communication between strangers. D.Impatience with slow service.

【2】What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?

A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people’s confidence.

C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.Conversation Counts B.Advantages of Small Talk

C.Uncomfortable Silence D.Ways of Making Small Talk

27、   Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes. So in 2007, the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme(bicycle freedom), people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only 1 euro a day or 29 euros a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kilograms). They are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 metro stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this — not even in France. Many years ago, Lyon started a free bicycle scheme. However, not everybody in Paris thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle; they’ll still use their cars.”

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all of our traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the atmosphere. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. We know this is partly because rainforests are disappearing, but it’s also because there’s so much pollution in the world. We can help improve the situation right here. The Velib bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”

“There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities,” the spokesman added. “But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise. The problems in our environment will only get worse.”

【1】How did Paris improve the situation of its traffic problem?

A.It built many bicycle stations. B.It is renting heavy bicycles to visitors.

C.It sold more bicycles to people. D.It is providing shared bikes for people.

【2】How much will you have to pay if you use the bike for 45 minutes?

A.29 euros. B.1.5 euros. C.1 euro. D.Nothing.

【3】According to the city spokesman, which of the following statements is true?

A.Traffic is not the only cause of global warming.

B.There aren’t any solutions to the city’s traffic problems.

C.Riding bikes is a perfect way to solve pollution problems.

D.It’s better to drive a car than to ride a bike to travel across the city.

【4】What of the following is NOT a way to deal with global warming?

A.Using bicycles often. B.Protecting the rainforests.

C.Reducing factory fumes. D.Traveling across a city by car.

【5】Which of the following may be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Traffic Jams in Paris B.Taking Action for the Environment

C.Bicycles and the Future D.The Advantages of the Velib Scheme

28、   Recently, a very simple sentence, “Amazing, my motherland” has become well-known in China.

As we know, China has developed 【1】 (quick) these years. And it has become one of the most important 【2】 (country) in the world. Foreigners pay more attention to this ancient eastern country--China. Lily is 【3】 Australian girl. She is studying 【4】 a university in Nanjing now. She 【5】 (live) in China for three years. Great changes make 【6】 (she) amazed. “I think finding jobs is 【7】 (easy) in China than that in Australia. I will work here after I finish my school work in Nanjing,” Lily said. In Nanjing, we can find new 【8】 (building) everywhere. There 【9】 (be) much more great changes than before.

The achievement is so surprising. China is developing the trade 【10】 the friendship with other countries. China is playing an important role in the world.

29、   When was the last time you wrote a letter? If the answer is "not recently", don't worry. You are not _______. A survey of 1,000 _______ around the world done by the French stationery(文具) company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers _______that handwriting was "too slow" and 17 percent believed it was "outdated".

These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day _______. "_______ is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same _______ as other art forms such as painting, or photography," Jonathan Skyrme, general manager at BIC UK & Ireland, told the Daily Mail. The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter _______ a message in a way that online messages can never do. "When you get an email, you can never be sure that you are the only person to have _______ it—or even that it was written by the person who sent it," said the newspaper. _______ US author Simon Garfield once wrote, "Emails are apoke (蜻蜓点水), but letters are a loving touch. "

So imagine the powerful message you send when you ________ write out your thoughts by hand, buy a stamp, take it to a mailbox, and wait days for your special someone to receive it.
