26、If you live in a big city, you might see trees start budding even before spring officially arrives.
A new article published in the journal Science found that trees in urban areas have started turning green earlier than the rural trees due to cities being hotter and also having more lights.
“I found artificial light in cities acts as an extended daylight and causes earlier spring greening and later autumn leaf coloring,” author Lin Meng said. Meng is a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her research collected observations and satellite data from 85 cities in the United States between 2001 and 2014.“ I found trees start to sprout new leaves and turn green six days earlier in cities compared to rural areas,” Meng said.
While the early appearance of spring and longer growing seasons may not seem like a big deal, Meng said there were serious effects on humans and wildlife. For one thing, early budding plants are at risk of spring frost. And changes in the growing season could also lead to an earlier and longer flower season, meaning a higher risk of allergies for humans. Meng also thought that this could lead to a bigger problem if the trees become out of sync with the insects.“ That may result in food shortage and may affect insect development, survival and reproduction,” she said.
Despite the concerns, Meng said it wasn’t all bad news.“ If we have a longer growing season, trees would absorb more carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere,” she said. “ They’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help reduce the heating effect in cities.” In terms of solutions, Meng said that cutting artificial light would reduce harm done to trees and that if light pollution was removed, early tree greening could be changed.
【1】Which of the following may cause city trees to turn green earlier?
A．The higher temperature.
B．The reduced amount of lighting.
C．The shorter daytime.
D．The later autumn leaf coloring.
【2】What may the underlined word “sprout” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Lose.
B．Reduce.
C．Add.
D．Grow.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The causes of early appearance of spring.
B．The advantages of having a longer spring.
C．The harm of city trees turning green early.
D．The ways of solving longer growing seasons.
【4】What is a solution to early tree greening according to Meng?
A．Planting more trees.
B．Shortening the nighttime.
C．Making flower seasons longer.
D．Reducing light pollution.
27、Growing pains and gains
It's not easy to grow up. Actually it's far from easy. Growing up can be a real "pain" for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude（态度）, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains！
As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They've always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that. The future is ours！
A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone！If we realize that these pains are just small bumps（凸块）on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains！
【1】According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young, ________.
A．life is full of joy
B．life is easy for us
C．we know we can stay young forever
D．we sometimes can’t do things we like
【2】When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to ________.
A．take music lessons
B．turn gains into pains
C．look back on hardships
D．live a successful life by suffering a lot
【3】What does the underlined phrase "to its fullest" mean？
A．Directly.
B．Completely.
C．Carefully.
D．Terribly.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.
B．We all have to experience growing pains.
C．A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.
D．Life without fear is a better choice for us.
28、You may read the questions first.
Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains
The book mainly presents us with the American Indian leaders of the past. It features many profiles and biographies including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Little Crow and Lozen Quanah etc. written by author Charles Eastman, and I’m sure you will be interested in it.
Name: Sitting Bull Birth: 1831 Death: 12-15-1890 He was a great hero and is respected by many American Indians. In a 1997 documentary (纪录片) — The Great Tribes, he was known as a holy man, a composer of songs and an artist. Under him, the Sioux and Cheyenne Nations unified. He was advised to go on a European tour in 1887, but he turned it down to defend these two nations from being separated again. He led his people during years of resistance to United States government policies and was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. |
|
Name: Crazy Horse Birth: 1842 Death: 9-5-1877 Crazy Horse was a legendary warrior(勇士) and a gentle leader as well as a brave man who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux, celebrated for his battle skills as well as his efforts to preserve Native American traditions and way of life. Resisting efforts to force the Sioux on to reservations, he fought alongside Sitting Bull and others in the American-Indian Wars. Charles Eastman described him in his book Indian Heroes as “a man of deeds and not of words”. |
|
Name: Red Cloud Birth: 1822 Death: 12-10-1909 He was against the movement of the white settlers into the Black Hills. In 1868, he refused to sign a treaty (条约), which stated that the Black Hills didn’t belong to people. The treaty also stated that these areas couldn’t be entered without the government’s permission. According to Eastman’s book Indian Heroes, he was said to have fought against the treaty, forcing the government to give in and pull out of the area. |
|
Name: Lozen Quanah Birth: late 1840s Death: 1890 Known as the youngest sister of Red Cloud, she devoted herself to the people. She was described in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman as a heroine good at riding horses and using a bow and arrow to drive attackers away. This skill was considered to be “one of the most honored skills among the Indians”. |

29、Housekeeping can be an effective stress reliever in our busy life if we know how to enjoy it. We can benefit a lot from doing housework.
Activities like cleaning the house could give us a sense of belonging to our environment. 【1】 In the limited space, one can create the best atmosphere that can show the positive energy and care for the members of the house, including ourselves.
Cleaning offers the state of mindfulness, releasing the endorphins, which can improve our mood, Cleaning activities, such as sweeping the floor, provides the same benefits as exercising. We keep the body active and make it a part of the exercise, which is especially good for someone who finds a struggle to maintain a workout schedule. So we’re supposed to start the day with early morning cleaning. 【2】
Cleaning provides a sense of control over our environment. Anxiety, the early stage of mental breakdown, could come from insecurity towards uncertainty. 【3】 Cleaning gives us something to have power over — even if it’s something as small as organising our books by colour. “When we seek out ways to reduce feelings of helplessness, cleaning is one of the best ways to do that,” said JaimeZuckerman, an American clinical psychologist.
【4】 Accomplishing a clean-up project could create a “good feeling” of confidence that lasts throughout day. Greater confidence encourages people to face other challenges in life that may have seemed too far a reach in the past. It’s healthy to use cleaning to clear your mind, gain perspective, and take a break from your worries. 【5】 So we have to make sure it’s enjoyable instead of overtiring.
A．Cleaning is a great way to show love.
B．The post-cleanup feelings can inspire confidence.
C．People enjoy the domestic task of housekeeping.
D．People need something that they have control over.
E．We can’t depend on tidying practice to relieve internal discomfort.
