    New genetic analysis has revealed that many Amazon tree species are likely to survive human-made climate warming in the coming century, contrary to previous findings that temperature increases would cause them to die out. A study,   1  in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the   2  age of some Amazonian tree species -- more than 8 million years -- and   3  shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods   4  for the year 2100.
    The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will   5  survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes.   6  extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures   7 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors   8  that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain   9  on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining.
    The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species’ extinctions   10  relatively small increases in global average air temperatures.
    Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the   11  were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major   12  to the Amazon’s future.
    Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to   13  higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and   14 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads.
    “Species will not move as freely in today’s Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human   15 . Similarly, today’s climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past   16 .”
    “With a clearer   17  of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we   18  that direct human impacts -- such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining -- should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive   19  to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and   20  the future of most Amazon tree species.”

    Market analysts in the United States have recently been quoted as saying that the biggest threat to the luxury (奢侈品) industry in the US is the tech industry. This is according to an article by fellow journalist Ashley Lutz. Her suggestion is sound. The main idea of her article is that products from Tiffany & Co. find their biggest competition not from other luxury brands but from companies like Apple. Lutz points out that luxury products are often only for “show,” while the attraction behind tech products is functionality.
    You find few people in the United States today willing to purchase luxury goods at full price. It didn’t use to be that way. Luxury goods used to be actually exclusive. That meant you needed to travel to the right store to purchase them, and you didn’t even have the option of getting a deal.
    Today, no one wants to pay full price for luxury goods. People have the unfortunate belief that fakes (赝品) somehow are equal to originals, and if you can’t get a deal on eBay, Amazon, or in an outlet store, purchasing a luxury product probably isn’t worth it. Luxury brands struggle to remain high-end (高档的) images despite the reality that the American consumer is motivated much more by discounts than they are by brand names or image.
    Yet people stand in line to pay full price for a new product from Apple and crowds gather to hear about a new smart phone. While electronics are updating every day, people are purchasing technology at full prices much more than they are purchasing luxury goods. What are high-tech makers doing right that luxury makers are pitifully failing at?
    Carefully looking at the situation, it would appear as if the Internet didn’t hurt the luxury industry, expectation from the consumers did. What people want these days more than anything is stuff that does something. They want cars that drive, shoes that are comfortable, games that are fun to play, screens that are beautiful to look at, tools that are useful, and entertainment that is entertaining. Little of that fits into what the luxury industry has typically offered with its status, image, and fine materials. The sad reality is that luxury products aren’t that luxury any more.
    小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?
    A．Nobody likes luxury goods any more.
    B．Luxury goods are of poor quality nowadays.
    C．Tech products become the new “luxury goods”.
    D．Iphones have taken the place of luxury products.
    小题2:The underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 2 means _______.
    A．unique and with no bargainB．low in price
    C．hard to findD．easy to sell
    小题3:From paragraph 3 we can know that _______.
    A．people have found that some luxury goods are fakes
    B．people can buy luxury goods at a low price on eBay
    C．luxury brands will give up high-end images
    D．consumers prefer brand names to discounts
    小题4:What do people pay most attention to nowadays?
    A．The Internet service.B．The images of luxuries.
    C．The function of products.D．The expectation from the consumers.

    We human beings haven’t been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
    Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why?  Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
    Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
    小题1:The text calls on us to__________.
    A．keep animals at homeB．protect the environment
    C．protect the endangered animalsD．know more about the balance of nature.
    小题2:Why do people kill animals?
    A．Animals cause many serious problems.
    B．They kill animals for something they need.
    C．Animals destroy their natural resources.
    D．They kill animals to protect the environment
    小题3:The example that farmers killed hawks shows that__________.
    A．there were too many rats and mice
    B．hawks are the most important in the nature
    C．animals are good food resources
    D．every kind of animal is important in nature

    I will tell you the truth about plastic bags－the positive and the negative sides and provide a solution to this problem. Whether it is a shopping bag, a food bag or a trash bag, they are all made of plastic bags. Grocery store owners are very generous in using plastic bags. They place the fruit in one bag and drop the box of milk in another. Ever wonder why?
    The positive side of plastic bags
    Grocery stores, shopping centres, and restaurants are not thrifty in using and giving out plastic bags because they cost no more than a cent each, while a paper bag costs four cents. Plastic bags are produced so cheaply and massively（大量地）that they are used by 80% of store owners. In addition, they are light and very easy to carry and store.
    The production of plastic bags has increased greatly over the last 20 years and producers of plastic bags are making large profits. However, the negative side of plastic bags is becoming well-known. More people are now getting worried that the earth is becoming a victim of the plastic bag success story.
    The negative side of plastic bags
    While production and consumption（消费）of plastic bags is good for business, it is not so for our Mother Earth. They have resulted in an increase in the amount of litter found floating in water or in the streets where we live.
    Plastic storage bags, after usage, usually go to landfills（垃圾填埋地）as trash bags. They make the oceans poison sea animals. They give off toxins（毒素）when burned. They simply pollute the ground, air and water.
    That is the true cost of plastic bags, and it looks like it is more than a cent. These are very alarming concerns and proper action needs to be taken.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 3, plastic bag producers ________.
    A．are now worried that the earth will become a victim of plastic bags
    B．don’t think they have done enough to popularize plastic bags
    C．have not realized the harm of plastic bags
    D．have succeeded in popularizing the use of plastic bags
    小题2:From the last three paragraphs, we learn that         .
    A．plastic bags harm the earth severely
    B．most plastic bags are not made use of
    C．the prices of plastic bags are reasonable
    D．plastic bags are the leading polluter on the earth
    小题3:What will the writer most probably talk about in the following paragraph?
    A．How plastic bags are produced.
    B．How plastic bags are used.
    C．How to popularize the use of paper bags.

    For most of us, the rain that falls on our roof runs off into the ground or the sewer(下水道) system. But if you want to save a little water and reuse it on your lawns or plants --- or even use it for laundry, dishes, or other needs --- collecting rainwater from your gutter’s downspouts(檐槽的水落管) is a no-brainer.
    According to John C. Davis, writing in E / The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that the roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2,000-square-foot roof produces some 1,200 gallons of water, you can harvest enough to water your lawn or garden.
    Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with substances that can hold back plant growth. Using rainwater can also extend the life of pipes, since the salts added to tap water may gradually damage the pipes. However, homeowners should set up a water purification system if they do plan to use rainwater for inside needs.
    Rainwater harvesting can also be good for the local community, as it reduces the erosion, flooding, and pollution associated with heavy rainfall, and reduces dependence on public water supplies. So some states fund rainwater collection systems in their local communities.
    Many varieties of rain barrel(桶) systems, starting at just $100, are available for home use. A typical setup is simply a rain barrel positioned under a gutter’s downspout. Skillful homeowners can make their own water harvesting systems, but buying one is a lot easier. Most garden centres offer a range of choices as well as tips.
    小题1:The underlined word “no-brainer” in Para. 1 probably means something that ______.
    A．is hard to deal withB．is very easy
    C．is of no real valueD．deserves more attention
    小题2:From Paragraphs 3 and 4, we can learn _______.
    A．how to set up a water harvesting systemB．how a rain barrel system works
    C．some advice on saving tap waterD．the benefits of using rainwater
    小题3:What is the topic of the passage ?
    A．Basic gardening skills.B．Water-saving techniques.
    C．Wastewater treatment systems.D．Roof rainwater collection.

    Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.
    The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.
    Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.
    More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR--- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.
    There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print--- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.
    小题1:What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?
    A．More attention is paid to the pictures ,with words and letters being ignored.
    B．Preference is given to the shape of letters and the organization of the print.
    C．The focus of the teaching is on bringing them up to be good readers.
    D．Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.
    小题2:What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?
    A．Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.
    B．Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.
    C．Adopt different methods according to the students’ difference in reading skills.
    D．Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?
    A．Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.
    B．Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.
    C．Project STAR aims to research into the results of reading books to pre-school children in the classroom.
    D．Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.
    小题4:Which section of a magazine does the passage probably come from?
    A．Fashion.B．Economy .C．Entertainment.D．Education.
