In the middle of a forest there was a little tree standing among many big trees. He was very at not being as big as the others. When the birds flew into the forest and their houses, he used to say to hem, “Come and have a rest in my body!” But the birds always said, “Oh, no. You’re too small!” The worst part was when people came to choose trees, they would pass him by he was too small. The other trees said that when they were taken away by people, they might be the mast (桅杆) of a large ship, go far away from the , and see many wonderful things; or they become part of a fine house in a great city, and experience life there. All these were just dreams to the little tree.
One cold morning, some people came searching the forest. “There are that are little enough,” they said.
“Here is one,” said one man. “It’s just the right .” And he chose the little tree.
The little tree was very happy because he knew they were about to take away. Later all kinds of beautiful things were all over him. The children all said, “ beautiful!” “It’s the Christmas tree we’ve ever seen!”

The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide(隐藏) under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings.
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a Split Second Decision》 shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts(专家)find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.
Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”The word “survive” appears in the passage several times. It probably means in Chinese.
| A．遇难 | B．幸存 | C．恐惧 | D．摇晃 |

The world is getting warmer.Human activity is the main reason for this，the United Nations （UN） said.For example，people use fossil fuels （化石燃料）like coal and oil.They give off a lot of greenhouse gases （温室气体）（especially CO 2） into the air.This warms the earth.
As a result，many animals are dying out， （A）______ as penguins （企鹅）and polar bears.It will soon make a difference to us as well. （D） Sea levels will rise and many cities along the sea will disappear.
To fight climate change，countries around the world need to work together.China is now taking the lead.It has set new goals to deal （B）______ this problem.It will bring its total greenhouse gas emissions （排放）to a peak （峰值）before 2030. （C） Itwill also achieve carbon neutrality （碳中和）before 2060，Xinhua reported.
Being carbon neutral means taking away the same amount of CO 2from the air as you put into it.It was set as an initiative （倡议）by the UN in 2015.
There are two ways to get to carbon neutrality.One is to plant more trees to absorb （吸收） the emitted （排放的）CO 2.The other is to stop CO 2emissions altogether by using non﹣fossil（非化石）fuels.Examples of these fuels include electricity and wind energy.
Over 20 countries and regions have carbon neutrality goals.Most of them will plant more trees.So will China.If China can realize its goal，it will lower global （全球的）warming by around 0.2°C to 0.3°C alone，according to Climate Action Tracker （气候行动追踪组织）.

Do you to write with your left hand? If you do, you are one of the millions of “lefties” in the world. Why do some people use left hand more often than others? To understand left-handedness, it is necessary to look at the . The brain is divided into two hemispheres（半球）. The left hemisphere is the center of language and logical thinking. This is where they do their math problems and memorize words. However, the hemisphere controls how they understand ideas and they respond（作出反应） to the five senses—sight, hearing, , taste, and touch. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, the right hemisphere controls the left side. Both sides of the body receive the information from the brain because they are connected(联系). In right-handed people, the left hemisphere is stronger. In left-handed people, the right hemisphere is .
Lefties prefer not only the left hand but also the left . They would rather use the left foot to kick a ball because their whole body is “left-handed”.

A new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.
We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don’t move; they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.
Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant’s disease or infestation(虫害), so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.
In this week’s Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.
The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest(害虫). To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube(管子). One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed(暴露) to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.
They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.
It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out for one another.
The underlined “traced” in the fourth paragraph probably means _________ here.
| A．reported | B．followed |
| C．doubted | D．developed |
For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?
① Place the infested plant upwind.
② Place the uninfested plant downwind.
③ Expose the downwind plants to the pest.
④ Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.
| A．③①②④ | B．①④③② |

| C．Paragraph 5 | D．Paragraph 6 |
Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（产品）. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.
In some countries, laws（法规）are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.
The computers then go to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.What do many people do with old computers?
| A．They repair them. | B．They sell them. |

| A．Help the computer companies to collect them. |
| B．Repair and send them to those who need them. |
| C．Help people to learn to use them. |
| D．Turn rubbish into useful things. |
What is the main idea of this passage?
| A．Repairing old computers. | B．Encouraging to make cheap computers |
| C．Recycling old computers. | D．Helping those who need computers. |
IQ（intelligence quotient智商）is a score that shows a person’s level of intelligence.
People used to believe that some people are born with a high IQ and some aren’t.
32 , a study by scientist at University College London has challenged（挑战）this idea. According to an article last October on the Journal Nature, scientists are beginning to think that our IQ is not a constant（不变的）score.
The scientists tested 33 healthy young people in 2004 between the ages of 12 and 16. Then they did tests again four years later, when the same people were between 16 and 20.
Scientists found big changes in the IQ scores between 2008 and 2004. Some 33 and some fell 34 as many as 21 points.
To test whether these scores were meaningful, the scientists compared them with results from brain scans（扫描）. They found that the IQ changes matched changes in the structure（结构）of the subjects’ brains. “A change in 20 points is a huge 35 ,” said Professor Cathy Price, who led the research. He said it could mean the difference between an average and a 36 person. The team has not found a clear cause for these changes. However, they say it is 37 that education plays a role in changing IQ.
“Here we have shown that children’s 38 is likely to be still developing, ” says Price. “We have to be careful not to write off 39 performers at an early stage. In fact, their IQ may improve in a few more years. ”
A．And B．However C．Besides D．Though
A．rise B．rose C．raise D．raised
A．of B．with C．by D．from
A．difference B．matter C．thing D．meaning
A．successful B．gifted C．able D．rich
A．natural B．true C．certain D．possible
A．score B．intelligence C．skill D．interest
