11、cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas o

12、ver the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first stud

13、y to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that

14、 right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within t

15、he area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the chan

16、ge in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more f

17、requently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into sp

18、ace. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.1、According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _.Aresult in a warming climateBcause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyClead to a longer fire

What about snakes or spiders? Put those fears aside:

23、 because in the U.S. youre far more likely to be killed or injured by a deer skipping across the road.Deer cause more than 200 humans deaths each year, plus some 29,000 injuries, all because of 1.2 million collisions between vehicles and deer. Most incidents occur in the eastern U.S., where deer pro

24、sper without natural predators like wolves and mountain lions.“Thats the region in the U.S. where deer-vehicle collisions are such a problem, and where it seems like an effective large carnivore reintroduction could make a really big difference.” says wildlife biologist Laura Prugh from University o

25、f Washington. She thinks it would help to reintroduce predators like mountain lions, also known as cougars, pumas or panthers, to parts of their historic range from which theyve been driven out.The researchers say that bringing the predators back to the eastern U.S. would mean 22 percent fewer colli

26、sions between cars and deer over three decades. Each year would see five fewer human deaths, 680 fewer injuries and a savings of some 550 million. Sophie L. Gilbert thinks there are great socioeconomic benefits of large predator restoration through reduced wildlife-vehicle collisions and she says, s

27、ays, “Cougars have shown that they can coexist in short distance with people, with very few conflicts, in a lot of areas out west.”Still, some folks might be understandably nervous about this kind of plan. After all, reintroducing predators doesnt come without risks to pets and to livestock, and ver

28、y occasionally to people.“Our fear of large predators is so natural and intense that I dont think its possible to just completely clear it with statistics. What I hope is that knowing that there actually can be some measurable benefits might make people a little more supportive and maybe balance tha

29、t fear a little bit.” says Laura.Indeed, the statistics show that cougars would prevent five times as many human deaths from deer-related accidents as they would cause by attacks. But itll be a tough sell: the press will cover cougar attacks, but a statistically prevented death does not make the new

30、s. Nevertheless, “If people in the west can put up with having mountain lions around, I would hope that New Yorkers would be up for the challenge as well.”1、What is closest in meaning to the underlined word “carnivore” in Paragraph 3?AA cat-like animal.BA dangerous animal.CA meat-eating animal.DA gr

31、ass-eating animal.2、Why do people want to bring back mountain lions?ATo minimize the accidents caused by deer.BTo maintain biodiversity and ecological balance.CTo take up the challenge from people in the west.DTo reduce peoples fear of this dangerous creature.3、Why is it hard to persuade people to a

32、ccept this measure?ABecause the risks outweigh the benefits.BBecause mountains lions like eating people.CBecause the benefits are not as eye-catching as its risks.DBecause mountain lions tend to get too close to people.4、What is the best title for the text?APuma: a Tough SellBA New Study on PumaCDee

33、r Cause Huge Life LossesDDeer or Pumas: a Hard Choice23（8分）“You can choose your friends, but you cant choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lees book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood is thicker than water”.However, if forced

34、 to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age.The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of

35、 friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older.William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Friendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a wo

36、rld of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness.The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and h

37、appiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being h

38、appier.One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that dont. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause troubles.This may be good news for people who dont have strong ties with f

39、amily members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need.1、595What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researchers?AGood friend ties. BEasy health exercises.CCommon family relations. DPersonal relation knowledge

41、. DStay with family members.4、601What is the main idea of the passage?AFriends and family members are equally important.BWhen we grow older, friendship matters more.CAs we age, family members are more valuable.DWe always need friends and family members.24（8分）When the weathers hot, do you enjoy a gla

42、ss of Brads Drink while watching your TV made by Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering, and surfing the web using a search engine called BackRub? No? Neither do I. Thats because all these companies have changed their names.Brads Drink is now Pepsi. The mouthful that was Tokyo Telecommunications Engin

43、eering has become, simply, Sony. And BackRub is now known as Google. Though I must admit, the idea of a back massage does sound good right now!Joking aside, choosing the right name for your start-up is a serious matter. Think of the case of a small Canadian company called Research in Motion, who in

44、1998 had just developed a high-tech mobile phone that could send emails.They were torn between names like MegaMail and ProMail. Then they sought the help of consulting firm Lexicon, who specialize in brand names. They had other ideas. They brainstormed words connected to enjoyment and freshness. Som

45、eone said.Lexicons boss added two capital letters, and there you have it: BlackBerry was born. Since then it has sold over 33 million handsets to customers around the world. Would it have sold as well if it was called MegaMail? Who knows?Recently, BlackBerry sales have been overtaken by Android phon

46、es and Apples iPhone. Lexicons founder David Placek is a big fan of simple brand names like those Apple chooses: the iPhone. They l0ok a household word and by putting one letter in font of it, it ends up being game changing.So, for all you entrepreneurs(企业家)out there, make sure you allow time to dev

47、elop a catchy and memorable name. Think about what makes your company different. Whats your USP (独特的销售主张) ? Maybe you can reflect that in your name.What about you?

50、meone we didnt know yet. I stood up look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

51、d, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids”“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on thi

52、s challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me.After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as

53、 she shared her wisdom and experience with me.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us.“There is only one secret to staying young. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking rou

54、nd who are dead and dont even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent of ability. The idea is to grow up by

55、always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the
