22、 Big, old trees are dying faster than in the past, leaving younger, less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide. They give us paper and fuel, as well as vital ecological services—like cleaning the air, storing carbon and providing habitat. We’re talking about trees, of course. But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.
In a new study, scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death. They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation. And they found that worldwide, older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature, wildfires, drought and pathogens(病原菌).
“And most of the drivers of that decrease in large, old trees are increasing themselves, such as temperature is going up, droughts are more severe, wildfires, windstorms and deforestation are all on the increase—although variable across the globe—they’re generally increasing. And so for both the loss has already occurred, but we expect more continued loss of big, old trees.” said Nate McDowell, an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab, who was one of the study’s authors.
“So if we have an increasing rate of death, particularly of the larger, older trees, what’s left are the younger trees. So that’s why, on average, through the loss of bigger, older trees, our forests are becoming inherently(天生地) younger and shorter.”
This trend is a problem, because old trees are vitally important.
“For sure, the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere. The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective: old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do. And the third reason is aesthetic: as a society, we care about these trees. We have national parks named after these big trees. So there’s a personal reason for people to care about this as well.”
【1】What has the new study found about the forests?
A.Forests are getting younger and shorter.
B.Many factors cause the death of big old trees.
C.Old trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.
D.The death of big old trees influences biodiversity.
【2】What do the underlined words “the drivers” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The death rates of big old trees.
B.The trends in the death of big old trees.
C.The human changes to the environment.
D.The factors causing high death rate of old trees.
【3】How is the significance of big old trees illustrated?
A.By giving examples. B.By analyzing reasons.
C.By listing facts. D.By providing figures.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A.To call on people to protect old trees.
B.To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.
C.To share the findings of a new study about trees.
D.To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.
23、Using a computer or smartphone at night can cause us to pile on the pounds，new research has revealed．
The study found a link between blue light exposure(blue light is produced by smartphones and computers)and increased hunger．It found that exposure to blue light increases hunger levels for several houus and even increases hunger levels after eating a meal．Blue light exposure has also already been shown to cause decreased sleepiness in the evening，increasing the risk of sleeplessness．
The leading researcher，Ivy Cheung，from Northwestern University in Chicago，said，“A single three-hour exposure to blue-enriched light in the evening greatly affected hunger and metabolism(新陈代谢)．These results are important because they suggest that controlling environmental light exposure for humans may represent a novel approach of influencing food intake patterns and metabolism．”
The study group consisted of 10 healthy adults with regular sleep and eating schedules. They completed a four-day trial under dim(昏暗的)light conditions，which involved exposure to less than 20 lux(勒克斯，照明单位)during 16 hours awake and less than 3 lux during eight hours of sleep．On the third day they were exposed to three hours of 260 lux，blue-enriched light starting10.5 hours after waking up, and the effects were compared with dim light exposure.
Ivy Cheung said more research is needed to determine the functions involved in the relationship between light exposure，hunger and metabolism．
【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How blue light exposure affects hunger．
B．Why blue light exposure influences sleepiness．
C．What is the link between blue light exposure，hunger and sleepiness．
D．Who has found the effects of blue light exposure on hunger and sleepiness．
【2】The underlined word“novel”in the third paragraph probably means“___________”.
A．unusual B．unforgettable
C．temporary D．controversial
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Blue light exposure can make us lose weight at night．
B．Blue light exposure has no effect on sleeplessness．
C．The researchers drew their conclusion by comparison．
D．Ivy Cheung has found the relationship between light exposure and hunger．
【4】Where would you be most likely to find the passage?
A．On a notice board． B．In a health magazine．
C．On a business website． D．In a college newspaper．
24、The Upside to Being Outside
Research shows that being in nature makes people feel good, whether they’re roughing it in the wilderness for days or just hanging out at a local park for a while. One study was conducted in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Researchers found that most participants’ mood and well-being improved significantly when they spent time in urban parks, 【1】
What’s more, the lift people get from nature is long lasting. For example, scientists in the United Kingdom studied the impact of the “30 Days Wild” campaign. It challenged people to interact with nature for 30 days by enjoying earthy activities like feeding birds and planting flowers. 【2】 And such state will remain in the following months. So, kicking back in a park is a bit like treating your mind to a restful mini vacation.
【3】 Scientists say that spending time in natural settings reduces stress and anxiety, which benefits mental and physical health. Research shows our brains are more relaxed in natural settings.
To most people, it’s not news that nature can be calming. 【4】 One study revealed that people were better at figuring out puzzles after a four-day camping trip. Another found that exposure to nature helped people score better on tests. That’s more proof that going outside is a smart and creative move!
What accounts for the connection with cognition and creativity? It could be that a good dose of nature acts as a cure to information overload. 【5】 Some scientists theorize that spending time in nature enables our brains to rest and recover from mental tiredness. This means that whether you’re studying or playing video games, heading outside to give your brain a break might help you get to the next level.
A．How does nature boost people’s happiness?
B．Everyday life involves a lot of multitasking.
C．What kinds of activities are suggested doing in nature?
D．as long as you set the fixed time as a daily routine to go outside.
E．Participants were measurably happier and healthier throughout it.
F．even though the average visit was only around half an hour and even less.
G．But studies have found that being outside also has some more surprising benefits.
25、Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they . As a member of that group, you would likely that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be to really get behind yourself. Because you might fear that your would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not born would probably stop your trying. And that would be a major to invest your energy in your dream.
On the other hand, belief isn’t anything . If you found a way to that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the opinion held by ordinary people about what will work.
In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us,
any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.

So Close, Yet So Far
Where am I? What am I doing? If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance, so I’m constantly posting updates on social media—whether I’m having a coffee, on my way to school, watching TV… even when I’m in the shower. I have a never-ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online.
I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. Yet the truth of the matter is: I feel lonely. A few days ago, I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends. My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call. Some spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the one who sat right in front of them. And the extraordinary thing is no one thought this was rude; it’s just how life is nowadays.
