21、   Pycnandra acuminate (喜树) is a rare tree native to New Caledonia that has the rare ability to collect heavy metals like nickel (镍) from the ground. The liquid circulated in its body is blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25% nickel.

In general, trees and heavy metals like nickel don’t really go well together. But Pycnandra acuminata make them live together. And that’s what makes Pycnandra acuminata so special. It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals from the soil and store them in its trunk, leaves and seeds.

The evolution of Pycnandra acuminate is believed to have occurred over millions of years, but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage. The reason why such trees have formed the way of absorbing metals is also up for debate.

The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf-chewing insects. And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to it. Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria, which protects the trees from various diseases. However, these theories are all just theories.

One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acurninata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity. There’s also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining. People can collect minerals contained in such soils from the blue-green trees。

Unfortunately, Pycnandra acuminata is is recently in a bad situation. Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger. Consequently, probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind have remained as a result of the reduction of our forests.

【1】What do we know about Pycnandra acuminata?

A.It has a blue-green color due to metals collected.

B.It is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground.

C.It sucks out a great deal of poisonous underground water.

D.It tends to grow in the soil with plenty of poisonous liquid.

【2】What do the theories in paragraph 4 say about Pycnandra acuminata?

A.It indeed protects many insects.

B.It stores most nickel in its roots.

C.It protects itself through the concentration of nickel.

D.It makes its surrounding plants suffer from diseases.

【3】What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph?

A.Pycnandra acuminata is in danger.

B.Forests are to blame for the reduction of trees.

C.Forests are decreasing as a result of human activity.

D.Pycnandra acuminata is under the protection of people.

【4】In which section of a magazine is this next most likely to appear?

A.Bacteria and disease. B.Health and life.

22、   In the U. S. state of Washington, a road called Interstate(州际公路；州际的)90 cuts through a wild mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area's many kinds of animals, busy high- way greatly limits their movements. Animals need to move to find food, to find mates, to find new places to live as their populations expand or just when conditions change, like a fire breaks out. Crossing I-90 – as the road is called – is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice. They will be able to go above it.

To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest - ever wildlife bridge. The 11-meter-tall, 20 - meter - wide bridge begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing anti plants to help guide the animals across the bridge，Two-meter-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below. Scientists chose the area because it is within a natural migration(迁徙)path for some animals.

The I -90 bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges，and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other.

A U. S. Transportation Department study found crashes between animals and humans rose year by year. The accidents made up about 5 percent of all crashes nationally, and cost the economy (经济)about ＄ 8 billion. Such costs come from car repaid, emergency room visits and removal of the dead animals on roads. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. The study also found that 21 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. are affected by vehicle hits. Bridges, underpasses and fencing reduce I he area's animal - driver collisions by 80 percent.

Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. Many other areas also need such paths. But finding money for more crossings is“the- number - one problem”. Patty Garvey — Darda of the U. S. Forest Service has worked on the I - 90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $ 6 - million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. “If you shut clown Interstate 90, you shut down interstate trade. ” she adds.

【1】What do we know about die I -90?

A. It goes from Washington D.C to Seattle,

B. It is dangerous for wild animals to cross.

C. It blocks the movements of wild animals.

D. It is the longest - ever highway in the world.

【2】What is being done to help the animals?

A. Building a wildlife bridge to keep drivers and animals away.

B. Designing walls to protect animals from traffic accidents.

C. forming 2 arches, one for traffic and the other for animals.

D. Choosing a natural and safe area for wild animals to live in.

【3】What can we learn from the study?

A. Traffic accidents went down gradually nationwide.

B. Most money was spent in rescuing wild animals,

C. Collisions are more deadly to wildlife than to people,

D. Some species no longer existed because of vehicle hits.

【4】Which of the statements may Patty Garvey - Darda agree with?

A. The bridge costs too much money.

B. Animals won11 be struck by drivers.

C. The effort to build the bridge will pay off.

D. Collisions won't affect national trade at all.

23、Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.

Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.

On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development on its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.

Nonetheless, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.

Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.

【1】Individual integrity has been valued in society because ______.

A．it helps develop philosophy

B．it is crucial to social relations

C．it is the basis of critical thinking

D．it ensures people’s particular roles

【2】The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A．strengthening

B．assessing

C．influencing

D．destroying

【3】What does the author believe according to the passage?

A．Individual integrity relies on what one has faith in.

B．The pursuit of individual integrity changes with time.

C．The nature of society is decided by economic development.

D．Social structures guide the formation of individual integrity.

【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

A．

B．

24、The immense and forbidding Southern Ocean is famous for howling winds and strange waves that have tested mariners for centuries.

But its true strength lies beneath the waves.

The ocean’s dominant feature, extending up to two miles deep and as much as 1.200 miles wide, is the Antarctic Circumpolar (极地附近的) Current, by far the largest current in the world.

It is the world’s climate engine, and it has kept the world from warming even more by drawing deep water from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, much of which has been in the deep ocean for hundreds of years, and pulling it to the surface. There, it exchanges heat and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere before being pushed again on its endless round trip.

Without this action, which scientists call upwelling, the world would be even hotter than it has become as a result of human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. “From no perspective is there any place more important than the Southern Ocean,” said Joellen L. Russell, an oceanographer at the University of Arizona. “There’s nothing like it on Planet Earth.”

For centuries this ocean was largely unknown, and its conditions were so extreme that only a relative handful of sailors went to its waters with lots of icebergs.

What fragmentary scientific knowledge was available came from measurements taken by explorers, naval ships, the occasional research expeditions or whaling ships.

But more recently, a new generation of floating, autonomous probes (探测仪) that can collect temperature, density and other data for years—diving deep underwater, and even exploring beneath the Antarctic sea ice, before rising to the surface to phone home—has enabled scientists to learn much more. They have discovered that global warming is affecting the Antarctic current in complex ways, and these shifts could complicate the ability to fight climate change in the future.

【1】Why docs the true strength lie beneath the waves in the Southern Ocean?

A．There is the deepest current in the world.

B．There is the world’s largest current.

C．There is severe cold climate in the South Pole.

D．There are the strongest winds and strangest waves.

【2】How docs the Southern Ocean keep the world from warming even more?

A．By pushing severe cold water to the other oceans.

B．By cooling the warmer water from the other oceans.

C．By drawing cold water from other oceans and pulling it to the surface.

D．By keeping cold water in the other oceans for hundreds of years.

【3】What does the underlined word "fragmentary" mean in paragraph 7?

A．Advanced.

B．Abstract.

C．Incomplete.

D．Concrete.

【4】What do scientists discover according to the last paragraph?

A．The current there is in normal condition despite global warming.

B．The current there is under the complicated influence of global warming.

C．The autonomous probes have found solutions to global warming.

D．Nothing can be done for global warming due to severe cold climate.
