Wuld it surprise yu t learn that, like animals, trees cmmunicate with each ther and pass n their wealth t the next generatin?
UBC Prfessr Simard explains hw trees are much mre cmplex than mst f us ever imagined. Althugh Charles Darwin thught that trees are cmpeting fr survival f the fittest, Simard shws just hw wrng he was. In fact, the ppsite is true: trees survive thrugh their c-peratin and supprt, passing arund necessary nutritin “depending n wh needs it”.
Nitrgen（氮） and carbn are shared thrugh miles f undergrund fungi（真菌）netwrks, making sure that all trees in the frest eclgical system give and receive just the right amunt t keep them all healthy. This hidden system wrks in a very similar way t the netwrks f neurns（神经元）in ur brains, and when ne tree is destryed, it affects all.
Simard talks abut “mther trees”, usually the largest and ldest plants n which all ther trees depend. She explains hw dying trees pass n the wealth t the next generatin, transprting imprtant minerals t yung trees s they may cntinue t grw. When humans cut dwn “mther trees” with n awareness f these highly cmplex “tree scieties” r the netwrks n which they feed, we are reducing the chances f survival fr the entire frest.
“We didn't take any ntice f it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees mve nutritin int the yung trees befre dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we culd put acrss the message t the frestry industry, we culd make a huge difference twards ur envirnmental prtectin effrts fr the future.
9. What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Old Trees Cmmunicate Like Humans
B. Yung Trees Are In Need Of Prtectin
C. Trees Are Mre Cmplex Than Yu Think
D. Trees Cntribute T Our Sciety
10. In Simard's pinin, trees _______ .
A. depend n each ther B. prtect their wn wealth
C. cmpete fr survival D. prvide supprt fr dying trees
11. We can learn frm the passage that
A. “mther trees” are usually f n use t ther trees.
B. Charles Darwin had the same thught as Simard.
C. peple knw much abut the cmplex “tree scieties”.
D. if “mther trees” are cut dwn, the survival fr the entire frest will be affected.
12. The underlined wrd “it” in the last paragraph refers t .
A. hw trees grw ld B. hw “tree scieties” wrk
C. hw frestry industry develps D. hw yung trees survive

The furth rund f heavy smg t hit Beijing in fur weeks has sent mre peple t the hspital with respiratry（呼吸的） illnesses and led t calls fr laws t cntrl the pllutin.
Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate（房地产）develper said he is planning t prpse a Clean Air Act t the lcal gvernment. As a representative t the Beijing Municipal Peple's Cngress, he started an nline survey at 9:20 a.m. Within three hurs, mre than 25,000 web users, r 99 percent f ttal respndents, welcmed his prpsal n Sina Weib, China's Twitter.
They have gd reasns t stand alngside Pan. The latest rund f haze（雾霾）reduced visibility t under 500 meters in many parts f the city. The smg has als led t a great increase in respiratry illnesses, particularly amng children and the elderly. Anxius parents and dctrs almst all blame the smggy air fr the illnesses. Thugh mst schlchildren are hme fr the winter hlidays, the bad air can easily mve indrs. Besides, rdinary medical masks fail t prvide adequate prtectin, s sme peple have turned t gas masks and respiratrs（呼吸器）.
The causes f the scary smg are rather mysterius, thugh experts blame excessive emissins（过多排放）and the muntains arund Beijing that trap pllutin in winter, unless there is adequate wind t clear it away. Sme critics have pinted fingers at China’s tp tw il firms, China Natinal Petrleum Crp and China Petrchemical Crpratin, saying the cmpanies’ utdated prductin technlgies prduce large quantities f substandard, high-plluting gas fuel.
Meanwhile, cncerned Beijingers have mved their brainstrming sessins（会议） t cyberspace. If Pan’s prpsal fr a Clean Air Act is adpted, netizens say the new law shuld include items prviding fr “car-free days” in times f smg, higher standards fr vehicle fuel, stricter restrictins n industrial and exhaust gas emissins, and mre effective prtectin fr the public.
Beijing is nt the nly city that has ever lst the blue sky. Five days f thick fg caused thusands f deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the gvernment t pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which intrduced smkeless znes and cleaner fuels t reduce pllutin. That may prvide sme experience fr Beijing t refer t.
13. Why did Pan Shiyi started an nline survey?
A. T investigate the public’s pinins n pllutin.
B. T tell peple the danger f the smggy weather.
C. T call n mre peple t supprt his prpsal.
D. T cllect supprting evidences fr his prpsal.
14. Britain is mentined in the last paragraph t ______.
A. suggest Beijing shuld learn frm ther cuntries
B. let peple knw many places have this prblem
C. tell peple the situatin in Britain is wrse
D. call n the gvernment t pass Britain’s Clean Air Act
15. What’s the best title fr this passage？
A. The Use f Gas masks and Respiratrs
B. Beijingers Call fr Clean Air Act
C. Effective Prtectin fr Blue Sky
D. The Mysterius Causes f the Scary Smg
