24、pe. D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man. CWhen is the correct time to use the article (冠词) “a” and “an”? We know “a bike” and “an apple”. But is it “a URL” or “an URL”? What exactly is the rule? Despite the confusion on when to use these two words, the rule regarding their use is actually quite simple.

25、 The basic rule for using “a” in a sentence is：Use “a” before words, or letters that begin with a sound of a consonant (辅音字母), regardless of their spelling, such as a dog, a university, a CBS news report. The important part is the sound of the word that follows, not necessarily the letter with which

26、 it starts. The above examples have words that begin with vowels (元音字母) and consonants, but we use “a” for all of them because they begin with the sound of a consonant. “An” is used before words, or letters that begin with a vowel sound, regardless of their spelling, such as an idea, an honor, an HT

27、ML document. The rule only becomes tricky when you have a vowel with a consonant sound or a consonant with a vowel sound.

It confuses only native speakers. C. It is simple but sometimes tricky. D. It is not in common use grammatically. How is

31、 the text mainly developed? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving explanations and examples. C. By applying previous data. D. By bringing out the facts and reasons. DAcross vast areas of the tropics (热带地区) from Southeast Asia to Africa, forests have been cut down in recent decades, but at least in

32、some areas reforestation efforts have been made to take in carbon (碳). It remains to be seen, however, whether these newly planted forests will manage to survive in the face of changing climate, which will bring more intense heat, lengthened droughts, and occasional wildfires. To find out, scientist

33、s from the University of Hong Kong decided to run hundreds of computer models to explore various results under different conditions. The key aim of the study was to see if carbon stored in these regrown forests would remain locked up, and they have found this will likely be the case even under the m

35、t the university. However, the role of newly planted forests as a carbon collector in the tropics will have only a limited effect on climate change, especially because many existing forests in the tropics will struggle in the face of rising temperatures and are already losing their ability to store

36、carbon, “Massive tree planting wont be enough to avoid climate disaster, but it can play a role. And if done with biodiversity and the people who call these forests home, reforestation can have many benefits, “ says Alexander Koch, the other author of the study. “So far we have only been able to loo

38、to biodiversity in the tropics. C. Regrown forests will store carbon even in the face of climate change. D. The chance of newly planted forests surviving tough conditions is slim.
