25、 One day when government officers were rebuilding a barn(粮仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out.
A while later they saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had come out. But just as they were about to start to clean up, they saw two mice getting out of the exit of the hole. After some hard tries, the mice finally got out. The strange thing was that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away at once. It seemed that one was trying to bite (咬) the tail of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of officers sat down in a circle and started to talk about what happened to the two mice. One man said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and minister.” Another man said: I think the relationship between those two mice was husband and wife. Then a third person said: I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son. The others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. At that moment, the last man looked at other people, and asked: Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? Suddenly, the air froze. The group looked back at the him and all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to reply. In fact, the greatest love does not depend on benefit, friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
【1】All the mice was driven away together after the officers used smoke to force them out. (__________)
【2】The last two mice were blind so they didn’t run away at once. (__________)
【3】The officers made several guesses about the relationship between the two mice. (__________)
【4】The last man was right about the relationship between the two mice. (__________)
【5】The passage tells us that the greatest love comes from our heart instead of any relationship. (__________)
26、Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s air from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb(吸收) some of the CO2 in the air. CO2 is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in the Earth’s air, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing CO2 as thought.
The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped(打气) extra CO2 into a test area where green trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients(营养素), such as nitrogen(氮).
In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil(泥土) around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was let into the air as CO2.
The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited(有限的) value in planting trees to reduce the CO2 pollution in the air.
Forest planting has been a part of negotiations(谈判) on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists(积极分子) had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates(估计) on the ability of forests to absorb CO2 were overly hopeful.
Some other scientists say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react(反应) to CO2. Some other scientists say the research disputes(质疑) a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that more CO2 in the air will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.
【1】Why did the researchers put trees in extra CO2 in the first study?
A. To learn whether trees can still absorb CO2 under extreme conditions.
B. To get more oxygen from these trees.
C. To know how much CO2 that trees can absorb.
D. To see the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of these trees.
【2】What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study?
A. They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.
B. They broke down and the carbon had mainly turned into CO2.
C. They broke down and the carbon was mainly absorbed in the soil.
D. They absorbed more CO2.
【3】Scientist Ram Oren thinks that common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb CO2 are __________.
A. just right B. not acceptable
C. a bit too cheerful D. too dangerous
27、 Every country has its typical animals. Some animals can even stand for the country. So which animal can best stand for China? Maybe you would say the panda because it is Chinese national treasure. But there is another animal that can really represent China and even Chinese culture the dragon.
