Wuld it surprise yu t learn that, like animals, trees cmmunicate with each ther and pass n their wealth t the next generatin?
高三英语试卷 第 8 页 共12页
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 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.
64.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 Cntribute T Our Sciety
D.Trees Are Mre Cmplex Than Yu Think
65.In Simard's pinin, trees _______
A.cmpete fr survival B.prtect their wn wealth
C.depend n each ther D.prvide supprt fr dying trees
66.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.if “mther trees” are cut dwn, the survival fr the entire frest will be affected.
D.peple knw much abut the cmplex “tree scieties”.
67.The underlined wrd “it” in the last paragraph refers t .
A.hw “tree scieties” wrk
B.hw trees grw ld
C.hw frestry industry develps

Over 500 dgs being delivered t a butcher huse were saved by a Chinese animal prtectin rganizatin.

After negtiatins with the truck driver, pet service prvider Leepet Hlding Crp.and a philanthrpic fundatin, Shang shan Fundatin purchased these dgs, each paying 50,000 yuan.Dgs were then delivered t the headquarter f China Small Animal Prtectin Assciatin (CSAPA), being taken care f and waiting fr adptin.
After the “dg saving missin” was reprted, Chinese net users debate ver whether saving dgs wrth s much effrts and mney while there are still many pr and needy peple in China lacking assistance.
Sme net users argue the “dg saving missin” is placing vert attentin t animals while lts f needy peple are still left unattended.
A micrblgger “Xiawulaitajie” said n China's twitter like website, weib.cm, “Dgs are saved, adpted and they attracted media sptlight. We'd better spend such mney and take such effrts in helping the needy peple.”
Anther micrblgger, Liluping, said “We pured such huge sum f mney int saving dgs.I wuld rather the mney be spent n disaster relief.”
Sme applaud vlunteers'actins and shw eagerness f ffering their helping hands t thse saved dgs.
Still many disapprve thse “saving dgs” critics, but they argue that such act nnetheless prmtes scial prgress.
A micrblgger named “brken bridge” said, saving dgs des nt run cunter t taking care f peple.Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise scial awareness in helping the needy.

Tday we'll talk abut reading．When we read a text，ur eyes mve acrss a page in shrt，quick mvements．We recgnize wrds usually when ur eyes still fixate(停留，凝视)．Each time they fixate，we see a grup f wrds．This is knwn as the recgnitin span r the visual span．The length f time fr which the eyes stp varies frm persn t persn．It als varies within any persn accrding t his purpse in reading and his familiarity with the text．In additin，it can be affected by such factrs as lighting and tiredness.
Unfrtunately，in the past，many reading imprvement curses have cncentrated t much n hw ur eyes mve acrss the page．As a result f this misleading emphasis n the purely visual aspects f reading，many exercises have been designed t train the eyes t see mre wrds at ne fixatin．Fr example，in sme exercises，wrds are flashed n t a screen fr a tenth f a secnd．One f the exercises has required students t fix their eyes n sme central pint，taking in the wrds n either side．Such wrd patterns are ften frmed in the shape f pyramids，s the reader takes in mre and mre wrds at each successive（连续的）fixatin．All these exercises are very clever，but it's ne thing t imprve a persn's ability t see wrds and quite anther thing t imprve his ability t read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability t understand the relatinship between wrds．Cnsequently，fr these reasns，many experts have nw begun t questin the usefulness f eye training，especially since any apprach which trains a persn t read islated(孤立的)wrds and phrases wuld seem unlikely t help him in reading a cntinuus text．
72.The time f the recgnitin span can be affected by the fllwing factrs except _______.
A.1ighting and tiredness B.ne's purpse in reading
C.the length f a grup f wrds D.ne's familiarity with the text
73.What des the authr mean by the underlined sentence in the secnd paragraph?
A.The ability t see wrds is nt needed fr an efficient reading．
B.The reading exercises mentined are f little help t an efficient reading.
C.The reading exercises mentined can help imprve reading.
D.The reading exercises mentined have dne a great jb s far.
74.The authr may believe that reading ______________.
A.demands a deeply-participating mind
B.requires a reader t see wrds mre quickly
C.requires a reader t take in mre wrds at each fixatin
D.demands mre eyes than mind
75.The tune f the authr in writing this text is _________________．
