22、   Do you like bananas? They taste good and you can have them without washing. However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050.

One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries that produce 86% of the world's bananas. They found that climate change made people harvest more bananas.

However, if temperatures keep going higher, this advantage will disappear. Some countries, like India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce(生产)fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

One serious disease is called Panama. It spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园)develop the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't found a good way to deal with this disease till now.

【1】If temperatures keep going higher, maybe _____________________.

A.more countries will begin to grow bananas B.bananas will harvest better in most countries

C.there won't be any bananas in the future D.bananas will be more delicious than before

【2】What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2refer to(指的是)?

A.The taste of bananas. B.People's love for bananas

C.The dying out of bananas in the future. D.The advantages of eating bananas.

【3】What's the perfect temperature for growing bananas?

A.24℃ and31℃. B.24℃ and 32℃. C.24℃ and 33℃. D.24℃ and 34℃

【4】The purpose(意图)of this story is to ________________.

A.give some advice on growing bananas B.tell us why bananas may die out

C.show how hard to grow bananas D.tell us the environment of bananas' growing

23、Anyone who cares about what schools teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir（回忆录）of Ralph W. Tyler. Ralph W. Tyler is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching. So he changed his major from medicine to education.

While he was working at the University of Chicago, he got to know two famous educators, Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work to the University of Chicago.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study at Stanford, a position（职位） he held over 10 years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to look for an independent spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired（退休）in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on many educational organizations in the United States and abroad.

24、Dear human beings,

1 hesitated (犹豫) a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.

I’m a pretty old tree now. I’m 80 years old. So I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that you have pure air. We cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air conditioners all the time. We help prevent the soil from being washed away. And above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.

We like the world，we like you human beings. But you’ve never been interested in us. For example, do you know how amazing we are? Do you know that, just like you, we trees are communicating with one another? And a tree can warn its neighbors of danger if insects attack it? And some of us pass nutrients (养分) and water around by joining our roots together underground? I suppose you don’t. We are now in great danger because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, hut you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough material for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. In addition, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious，and your life would turn nasty….

Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!

I wish all the best for you，and good luck!

Your friend,

An old tree
