Overlking the Davis—Gant Varsity Sccer Field, a bed f verturned sil waits fr further develpment. In a few years, this area will becme a natural habitat and a playgrund fr animals and residents. This peaceful area didn’t appear naturally, but thrugh planning and actin taken by Catlin Gabel’s Tiny Frest prject launched by teacher Patrick Walsh.
Frests typically take hundreds f years t mature, with fur stages f grwth. “Tiny frests flatten ut time thrugh the planting f all fur layers (层),” Walsh explained. The end result is a fast—grwing, native frest in abut 20 years. Over 600 plants frm 43 species will be planted in the tiny frest, the first ne in Oregn.
Walsh was inspired t build a tiny frest after hearing abut this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hld in Nrth America. He shared his visin with senirs in his class. The senirs researched tiny frests and made a prpsal resulting in Clean Water Services dnating 60 trees and $5,000 frm the Natinal Oceanic and Atmspheric Administratin. Armed with these resurces, Walsh and the students started wrking. “Smething I didn’t really expect was the utpuring f students’ enthusiasm. Seeing students frm all grades vlunteered t cntribute t the ‘dirty wrk’ really blew me away,” Walsh said.
Senir Megan Cver has been at the schl since the first grade. “I’ll graduate after wrking n this prject, which is surely sad, but it’s really rewarding and great t be a part f this prject and t d my bit. We’re creating this educatinal space fr many yung kids,” Cver said.
Walsh summed up his gal f the prject, which is t build a place where students can enjy and learn abut nature. “The frest will bviusly nt slve climate change, but it wuld deserve the effrts if the kids think abut climate change and remember the imprtance f refrestatin and trees when they lk utside at the frest.”
24. What is special abut tiny frests?
A. They riginated in Nrth America.
B. They are usually planted in schls.
C. They cntain varius types f trees.
D. They becme mature in a shrter time.
25. What surprised Walsh in the prcess f planting the tiny frest?
A. The abundance f native tree species.
B. Public cncern abut the envirnment.
C. The active participatin f students.
D. Supprt frm lcal rganizatins.
26. Hw des Megan Cver feel abut the prject?
A. Prud.B. Hpeful.C. Excited.D. Grateful.
27. What des Walsh want the frest t functin as fr the students?
A. A surce f enjyment.B. A reminder.
C. A surce f inspiratin.D. A witness.

We’re already well aware that the American Suthwest, which is naturally ht and dry, is seriusly shrt f water. The situatin is getting wrse every day with ppulatins in Califrnia, Nevada and New Mexic cntinuing grwing. The fact that s many peple f the regin need the limited resurces has led experts t predict a majr water shrtfall that will cst billins t deal with. A new study that reveals climate change is ging t dry ut the regin even further is painting a serius picture f the future.
Accrding t the study, glbal warming culd increase the lng-term water shrtfall t the 1,815 billin cubic metres by adding anther 439 millin cubic metres f water. Based n the price f adding reservir (水库) capacities in Califrnia, meeting basic water shrtages culd cst $549 billin if climate change is factred in. Higher water prices wuld make the adaptatin even mre expensive if n water culd be fund at all in the drier future.
But even beynd the mere cst f creating mre reservirs, there’s n denying the fact that a htter, drier Suthwest will demand mre and mre energy fr cling. There’s anther fact that climate change will make cities in states like Nevada and New Mexic far less sustainable than they already are. There’s als the fact that a warmer climate will have a lng-lasting impact n the regin’s ecsystem. Previus study has nted that climate change may cnvert the American Suth-west int a permanent desert.
It’s certainly pssible that it will be t expensive t build reservirs fr sme suburbs and cmmunities and we culd see an exdus (大批人同时离开) frm the regin; but that’s almst suitable t change, because cmmunities pay fr the extremely inefficient prcesses f pumping in water frm ut f the states.
28. What is the best title fr this passage?
A. American Suthwest Is Shrt f Water
B. Climate Change Will Make Water Shrtage Wrse
C. Califrnia Cuncil Pays Attentin t Water Shrtages
D. Water Shrtages Lead Experts t Predict Water Shrtfall
29. What is the authr’s attitude twards the situatin f the American Suthwest?
A. Wrried.B. Critical.C. Sympathetic.D. Indifferent.
30. What can we infer frm the third paragraph?
A. Peple shuld cl the climate immediately.
B. The situatins f Nevada and New Mexic are nt bad yet.
C. The energy requirements needed fr cling will nt make water shrtage wrse.
D. There’s a relatinship between climate change and ecsystem.
31. Which f the fllwing is NOT true?
A The high price f building reservirs is making the situatin wrse.
B. Ppulatin grwth is the main reasn fr water shrtages.
C. Glbal warming culd increase the lng-term water shrtfall t 1,815 billin cubic metres.
D. The American Suthwest may becme a desert ne day.

Autmatin (自动化) was a ht tpic. Nearly everyne agreed that peple wuld be wrking less nce cmputers and ther kinds f autmatic machinery became widespread. Fr ptimists, this was a prmise f liberatin: At last humanity wuld be freed frm cnstant til, and we culd all devte ur days t mre refined pursuits. But thers saw a threat: Millins f peple wuld be thrwn ut f wrk, and desperate masses wuld ram the streets. Lking back frm 50 years hence, the cntrversy ver autmatin seems a quaint and curius episde. The dispute was never reslved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader(and n relatin t me), wrte in 1964: Autmatin is nt just a new kind f mechanizatin but a revlutinary frce capable f verturning ur scial rder. Whereas mechanizatin made wrkers mre efficient-and thus mre valuable-autmatin threatens t make them superfluus (过剩的)-and thus withut value. The pinins I have cited here represent extreme psitins, and there were als many milder views. But I think it’s fair t say that mst early students f autmatin, including bth critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technlgy wuld lead us int a wrld where peple wrked much less.
As fr ecnmic cnsequences, wrries abut unemplyment have certainly nt gne away-nt with jb lsses in the current recessin appraching 2 millin wrkers in ur cuntry alne. But recent jb lsses are cmmnly attributed t causes ther than autmatin, such as cmpetitin frm verseas r a rller-caster financial system. In any case, the visin f a wrld where machines d all the wrk and peple stand idly by has simply nt cme t pass.
The spread f autmatin utside f the factry has altered its scial and ecnmic impact in sme curius ways. In many cases, the net effect f autmatin is nt that machines are ding wrk that peple used t d. Instead we’ve dispensed with the peple wh used t be paid t run the ma-chines, and we’ve learned t run them urselves. These trends cntradict almst all the expectatins f early writers n autmatin, bth ptimists and pessimists. S far, autmatin has neither liberated us frm the need t wrk nr deprived us f the pprtunity t wrk. Instead, we’re wrking mre than ever.
What abut trades clser t my wn vital interests? Will science be autmated? Technlgy al-ready has a central rle in many areas f research; fr example, genme sequences culd nt be read by traditinal lab-bench methds. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enugh curisity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have t welcme it as a cmpanin in zealus research. And if the scientist is elbwed aside by an autmatn, then surely the science writer can’t hld ut either. I’m ready fr my 15-hur wrk-week.
32. In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants t cnvey that .
A. autmatin results in unemplyment n
B. autmatin des mre harm than gd
C. the issue f autmatin is still in discussin
D. autmatin brings in much cnvenience in life
33. Accrding t A. J. Hayes, we can infer .
A. autmatin is mre valuable than what we imagine
B. autmatin is a revlutinary frce t better develpment
C. the disadvantages f autmatin far utweigh the advantages
D. the new technlgy wuld lead peple int wrking much less
34. What des the underlined wrd pssibly mean?
A. Put. . . dwn fr.B. Set. . . free frm.
C. Bring. . . int.D. Take. . . away frm.
35. What can we cnclude frm this passage?
A. Peple needn’t wrk s hard due t autmatin.
B. Traditinal labr frce will be replaced in the near future.
C. Autmatin shuld be accepted reasnably in develpment.
D. Autmatin results in mre jb lsses in the writer’s cuntry.
