11、harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and tr

12、eated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions u

13、nder which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery co

14、uld lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from

15、the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET

16、) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburghs School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farm

21、（8分）A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yel

22、low taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度) of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationship between the color of a

23、taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the enti

24、re fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents will occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year.Assu

25、ming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as sc

26、hool buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, were also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles tha

27、t are of different colors.” Explained Prof Ho.1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easily.BBecause yellow signals a warning of danger.CBecause drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.DBecause people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.2、Whats P

28、rof Hos study based on?APhysical risks taxi passengers experience.BThe economic effect of changing taxi color.CData from Singapores largest taxi company.DPersonal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.3、What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?ASchool buses should be painted yellow.BTheir

29、findings are worth popularizing.CTheir study will be furthered.DYellow should be widely used in public transport.4、What can be the best title for the text?ACaution: yellow taxis ahead BSafer to ride in yellow taxisCWhy are yellow taxis preferred? DHow can colors help prevent accidents?23（8分）An old m

So might musical training translate better to Mandarin than it would to English?Yeah, its possible that this influenced the results, said Robert Desimone, a neuroscien

47、tist (神经科学家) at the McGovern Institute at MIT.

52、une Up Language Skills25（10分）A new program makes finding friends in the school cafeteria a piece of cake. “Sit With Us” helps students who have difficulty finding a place to sit find a welcoming group in the lunchroom. The app allows students to recognize themselves as “ambassadors,” thereby invitin

53、g others to join them.

Yet, the memory of sitting alone and being bullied still affects her, especially s

55、ince she knows her experience isnt an isolated one. Hampton said the reason why she felt an app like this was necessary, is because it prevents kids from being publicly rejected and being considered social outcasts by their classmates. “This way its in secret Its through the phone. No one else has t

During a 2015-2016 school year, over 50 New Jersey middle schools provided their most socially able students
