根据上文“Fr the best fire resistance, chse trees that lse their leaves every year, like ash, and maple, rather than fine-needled trees.”（为了获得最好的防火性能，选择每年落叶的树木，如白蜡树和枫树，而不是细针叶树）表明哪些树木不易燃；下文“Thse plants with water-filled leaves include ice plants and sedums.”（那些叶子充满水分的植物包括冰草和景天属植物）可知，选项承接下文说明的是叶子充满水分的植物的阻燃性。故B选项“叶子充满水分的植物燃烧速度较慢”切题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The Washingtn State University Extensin Service has published advice fr chsing plants that are fire-resistant.”（ 华盛顿州立大学推广服务中心发布了关于选择防火植物的建议。）以及下文“High water cntent in leaves……”（叶片含水量高……）可知，选项承上启下，说明许多植物有不易燃得特性。故D选项“许多植物具有不易燃烧的特性”切题。故选D项。

Little free libraries have been dtting cmmunities arund the glbe since the first ne was set up in Hudsn, Wiscnsin in 2009. During the pandemic (疫情), many peple turned these libraries int little free stres t help neighbrs in need. The stres were filled with canned fd, peanut butter, and tilet paper. In Australia, a mther and her daughter decided t pen a free plant stand t share flwers and jy with her cmmunity.
Because f the pandemic, peple were enclsed and lnely. This was certainly true f Vicky Rbinsn and her daughter Rachel, wh live in Redan, a suburb f Ballarat in Victria.

Vicky lked at her frnt grassland and flwering rse bushes and suddenly had a bright idea. Understanding that gardening was a natural treatment that helped her relax, she came up with the idea fr a plant exhibitin stand that was like a little free plant library.
Her husband is a cupbard maker s he built a tw-stried stand n their prperty line and filled it with yung plants and succulents (多肉植物) reprduced frm their wn plants. In bld letters, there is a sign that reads, “Need a plant? Take a plant. Have a plant? Leave a plant.”
Despite having lived in Redan fr 30 years, Vicky said that she never felt cnnected with her cmmunity befre. There is little cst invlved in setting up the little free plant library. “It’s all wrth it just t see their smiles. We have develped trust with the cmmunity,” she said. “It leaves a legacy. It creates a bnd in a circle, frm generatin t generatin.”
