These trees, with their strangely-shaped, wind-beaten limb

11、s(枝干), can live up to 5,000 years. But experts worry that a warming climate in some areas may threaten its future.Researchers say warmer weather is permitting a similar kind of tree, the limber pine, to take over good growing places from the ancient bristlecone. They say the tree is being crowded ou

12、t of mountainous areas where it grows.“The bristlecone pine is the oldest individually growing organism,” researchers say. They grow in high mountain forests in eastern California, Nevada and Utah. In those mountains, the trees face high winds and extreme temperatures, which leave them with twisted

13、limbs and shapes. “Even in such tough conditions,” Brian Smithers, a researcher at the University of California, said, “the limber pine is taking all the good spots.”The limber pine is the bristlecones distant relative and competitor. It can also live a long timeup to 2,000 years. And it is usually

14、found at lower altitudes, where temperatures are warmer. However, according to a three-year study which centered on trees that have started growing in the last 50 years in Californias White Mountains, most of the trees growing at higher altitudes were limber pines.Scientists compared the competing s

15、pecies to two o1d men in a very slow race up a mountainside. This race between such slow-growing trees takes thousands of years. They say climate change is causing the competition.Smithers said the bristlecone pines are not in danger of disappearing. But he assumes they could be crowded out of some

16、places where they have grown for thousands of years.The researchers say the findings show how climate change can affect the two kinds of trees. The information, they say, can help scientists understand more complex forests.1、Whats the function of Paragraph 1?ATo introduce a topic. BTo summarize the

17、whole passage.CTo describe the appearance of a tree.

18、lacing the ancient ones.DThere will be fewer bristlecone pines growing in those areas.3、According to the passage, the reason why limber pines can grow at higher altitudes is_.Athe high winds Bthe difficult conditionsCthe changing climate Dthe extreme temperatures4、What is the researchers attitude to

19、wards the future of the bristlecone pine?APositive. BConcerned.CEnthusiastic. DIndifferent.22（8分）Visitors to the grounds of New College at Englands Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, its thoug

20、ht-provoking(引人深思的)especially to todays Americans.When we think about what makes the personits more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. However, we forget or overlook our manner

21、s. So , it seems, does everyone elseincluding, unluckily, our children.As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students, though were separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first f

22、ew minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.In the absenc

23、e of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what theyve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students.

24、 Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that theres some hope for reviving and good manners.Good manners dont just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners

25、 are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.1、Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?AHandsome income.

Kennedy once said that a countrys GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile”. With Britain v

28、oting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do no

29、t matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UKs GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to

30、 their countrys economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful impro

31、vements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a n

32、umber of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isnt the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have see

33、n huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a countrys success, the world looks very different.So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while G

34、DP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes all things that contribute to a persons sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predi

35、cted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.1、
