Trees are ne f the ldest “citizens” f ur Earth. They keep ur air clean, reduce nise pllutin, imprve water quality and prvide fd and building materials.
Just like us, trees change a lt as they grw. At 1 t 3 years ld, yung trees learn hw t prtect themselves. Fr example, many trees grw thrns (刺) t warn animals nt t g near. Mst yung trees have large, deep green leaves s that they can catch enugh sunlight and change it int their fd and energy.
When trees are 4 years ld, they begin t grw very rapidly and becme strng enugh t face challenges later in life. At the age f 15, trees becme yung adults. They grw mre slwly and begin t prduce flwers and fruit. It is nt until the tree is 20 t 25 years ld that it becmes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, xygen and natural beauty; it is als a great place fr a tree huse, r a place fr us t read a bk, listen t music and s n. If we give the adult tree prper care, it will g n t live healthily fr many years.
Gradually, trees begin t grw lder and lder and even die. At this time, they still have their imprtant place in nature. When a tree becmes hllw r part f it becmes dead, it prvides a hme fr small animals and is a surce f fd fr many ther animals.
In many ways, the life f a tree is similar t ur wn life experience. When we are lking at the life f a tree, we learn abut that each perid f life brings its wn frm f jy and challenge. Life is hard but the value f life is hw yu live it bravely. A man wh vercmes himself is a real strng man in life. Dn’t give up when yu still have smething t give. Nthing is really ver until the mment yu stp trying.

The blue whale (鲸) is the largest animal alive tday. And ne f these whales has been caught making a big jurney thrugh the Suth Pacific. The whale was first recrded near the Galapags Islands, west f Csta Rica. Years later, that same whale was phtgraphed ff the cast f Chile in Suth America, a new study reprts. The tw places are separated by abut 5,200 kilmeters. That means the whale, nicknamed Isabella, swam farther than the distance between New Yrk and Ls Angeles.
Blue whales are fund in all the wrld’s ceans but live in deep waters. S there are few places where they can be fund easily. What’s mre, they were nearly driven by whaling a century ag. Ppulatins are increasing. But because there are s few f the animals, they are still cnsidered endangered.
One blue whale may lk like any ther t the untrained eye. But each animal has special spts (斑点). “We use thse spts as the fingerprints f blue whales,” Trres Flrez says. T make the cmparisn jb easier, scientists fcus n the area arund a whale’s drsal fin (鳍), which is n its back. “Cmparing thse spts we are able t tell if a whale is the same whale we saw in different places r if the same whale is seen during different years in the same place,” he says.
Isabella is prbably nt the nly blue whale t travel s far, the researchers say. Members f her ppulatin likely migrate regularly frm Chile t the Galapags. In summer mnths, Trres Flrez ntes, waters in the far suthern Pacific are laded with krill, but that fd disappears in winter. That’s when the whales travel nrth t warm, trpical (热带的) waters near the Galapags. There, instead f feeding, the whales prduce babies. Scientists dn’t yet knw why whales prefer t prduce babies in trpical lcatins. But the cean there may be warmer and calmer and have fewer killer whales that wuld feed n baby blue whales, Trres Flrez says.
74．What can we infer abut blue whales in Paragraph 2?
A．They are n lnger at the risk f dying ut.
B．It’s difficult fr scientists t study them.
C．They can’t live well in a new envirnment.
D．It is cmmn fr peple t see them wrldwide.
75．What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．Hw t study blue whales.
B．The spts f blue whales.
C．Hw t find ut the exact blue whale.
D．The habits and lifestyle f blue whales.
76．What des the underlined wrd “migrate” mean?
A．演变B．分离C．迁徙D．繁殖
77．Accrding t Trres Flrez, whales prefer t prduce babies in trpical waters prbably because ________.
A．there is enugh fd fr baby blue whales
B．they dn’t have enemies there
C．it’s easy fr them t find a mate there
D．it’s easy fr baby blue whales t remain alive there

A pair f tusks (长牙) is usually an advantage fr elephants, allwing them t dig fr water, peel bark (剥树皮) fr fd and prtect themselves. But because f illegally hunting, thse big tusks may invite danger. Nw researchers are wrking ut hw years f civil war and hunting in Mzambique have led t a greater number f elephants that will never develp tusks.
During the war frm 1977 t 1992, fighters n bth sides killed elephants fr ivry t prvide fund fr the war. In the Grngsa Natinal Park, arund 90% f the elephants were killed. The survivrs shared a key feature: half the females were naturally tuskless — they simply never develped tusks — while befre the war, less than a fifth lacked tusks. Mre cnfusing, tw-thirds f the new-brn elephants were female.
Like eye clr in humans, genes (基因) are respnsible fr this. They fund that the mthers have prduced the smking-gun genes fr genetic changes. They pass the changed gene t bth sns and daughters, but the sns are likely t die early in develpment. Daughters stay by their mther, many grwing tuskless.
Mst peple think f develpment as smething that ges n slwly, but humans can speed it up. “When we think abut natural selectin, we think abut it happening ver hundreds, r thusands f years,” said Samuel Wasser, a scientist at the University f Washingtn. “The fact that tusklessness happened ver 15 years is ne f the mst surprising findings.”
Nw the scientists are studying what mre tuskless elephants mean fr the species (物种) and its envirnment. “The changes will last fr at least quite a few elephant generatins. If an elephant desn’t have the tl t peel bark frm trees, then what chain reactins will happen?”
79．What has happened t the elephants in Mzambique?
A．Tusks have helped elephants a lt.B．Quiet a few elephants became tuskless.
C．Tusks prtected elephants against wars.D．Tusks became a danger t elephants.
80．What caused the killing f elephants frm 1977 t 1992?
A．T many female elephants.B．N tusks f the elephants.
C．Mney needed fr the war.D．Only 10% male elephants.
81．Which f the fllwing can best explain the underlined wrd “smking-gun” in Paragraph 3?
A．wrngB．carelessC．trueD．useless
82．Hw des the scientist Samuel Wasser feel abut the develpment f the elephants?
A．Interested.B．Pleased.C．Disappinted.D．Shcked.
83．What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A．The elephants will develp mre tusks as time ges by.
B．The elephants may die frm hunger with human’s activities.
C．The elephants can be fed n themselves with scientists’ help.
D．The elephants can change the envirnment in their wn way.
