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

Professor Simard , forest ecologist( 生态学家) from the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex（复杂）than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin（达尔文） thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact,the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (营养) like Nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".

Nitrogen and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, This makes 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 (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about "mother trees", These are usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These “Mother Trees” are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. 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" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.

"We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Mother 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】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Are More Awesome Than You Think

D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

25、   In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo— a joyous zoo. Not surprising. I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember little steps add up to big dreams.

【1】When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.

A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor

【2】The underlined expression “withdraw from college” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A. quit college B. graduate from college

C. start college D. leave for college

【3】Why did the author withdraw from school in her second year of college?

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

【4】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far.

C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done.

【5】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive. D. Innocent and single-minded.

26、   Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average (平均) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOS found that 43% of CEOS are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine, article, “The Power of Birth Order,” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled (宠坏的)”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Many factors (因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A.A first-born. B.A second-born. C.A last-born.

【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A.He was likely to be given low pay.

B.He was likely to be agreeable.

C.He was likely to have more rights in a family.

【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?

A.受欢迎的 B.受控制的 C.受亏待的

【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.

A.has no influence on IQ B.may decide who we are C.is a factor in making us powerful

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Where Is Your Place in the Family?

B.What Makes You Successful in Life?

C.How Can You Grow into Big Man?

27、   Girl Scouts(女童军) gave me a way to always feel at home, no matter where I moved.

I was born in Nebraska, but my first Girl Scouts troop was in North Dakota. We then moved to Utah when I was in the third grade, and I was in Girl Scouts of Utah from third grade until I graduated from the 12th grade in 1999.

When I got to Utah, I was the new kid in school, as we moved in January, about halfway through the school year. Making friends was hard. I don’t remember how long after we moved that my mom reached out to the local Girl Scouts council and found me a troop(队伍).

I remember that the girls in the troop welcomed me with open arms. It was nice to have friends to eat lunch and play with on the playground. My mom ended up becoming the leader of that troop, too! Girl Scouts was the connection to a new place. It was a way for me to make friends and meet people and gave me a sense of home.

After attending college in Utah, I moved to California and eventually got a job working for Angeles Girl Scout Council. I learned a lot while in Girl Scouts, including leadership skills and money management, but this has been the most useful skill that I learned: that Girl Scouts are connected to each other.

Thinking back, I first moved here with no job. I was living with my dad’s cousin and wasn’t really sure if it was going to work or if I was going to stay, but 16 years later, I’m still here—thanks in large part to the Girl Scouts.

I spent Thanksgiving with my co-workers at the Girl Scouts when I couldn’t go back home, I celebrated birthdays with them, and watched their kids grow up. I’ve learned and grown so much from the co-workers and the troop leaders that I have met through my job. Even as an adult, the Girl Scouts remain that connection and that lifeline for me—they are my extended family. That lesson is priceless!

A.her friends introduced her

B.it was the rule of the new school

C.her mom was the leader a Girl Scouts troop

D.it was a good way to connect to a new place

【2】How did the author feel when she first moved to California?

A.Frightened. B.Hopeless. C.Uncertain. D.Lonely.

B.A good leader is important to a team.

C.A valuable person is one with useful skills.

D.Where you can find a sense of belonging is home.
