21、Big Basin Redwoods State Park is recovering after a natural disaster—fires heavily dam aged California’s oldest protected natural area. Lightning storms caused more than 650 fires in Northern California. But during a guided visit recently, life was reappearing on blackened red wood trees. Small flowers stood out on the burned land.

The big park usually has about I million visitors a year. But one year ago, many parts of the park burned for 24 hours. More than 100 structures were sabotaged , including the main part of the historic park, shelters, picnic tables and more. Many bridges were gone, too. In some places, roots are still smoking, leaving dangerous underground areas. Repair experts have been trying to identify materials and waste that need to be removed. In many ways, the park does not look much different than it did soon after fires.

Most of the ancient redwoods have survived. Astonishingly, the trees are about 2, 000 years old and among the tallest living things on Earth. The next 8 to 10 months will be spent cleaning up the park. It will be up to a year before the public can safely use the paths beyond a small coastal area.

Environmentalists have urged quick action because state officials are currently providing funds for wildfire recovery efforts and new building projects. This change provides a rare chance to get more money for public lands.

Barth is the director of Sempervirens Fund. That group started an effort in 1900 to protect 15. 5 square kilometers of redwood forest that is now in the center of Big Basin. “When Big Basin was set up, it was a sign of hope for the state park’s system, " she said. Barth added, “In this fire and rebirth, you have an opportunity again. ”Redwoods are naturally fire resistant(防火的). In old growth forests, most trees have burn marks dating back to hundreds of years.

【1】What does the author feel about the recovery of the park?

A．Doubtful.

B．Anxious.

C．Curious.

D．Hopeful.

【2】What does the underlined word “sabotaged” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Destroyed.

B．Ignored.

C．Protected.

D．Rebuilt.

【3】What do we know about the redwoods?

A．They have a short history.

B．They are amazingly tall.

C．Few of them have survived.

D．Most of them have no burn marks.

【4】What did Barth think of building Big Basin?

A．It was for funds.

B．It was effortless.

C．It was praiseworthy.

D．It was against nature.

23、Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.

While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.

The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.

In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.

Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.

The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.

After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.

The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.

【1】The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to ________.

A. normal organs     B. lungs and heart

C. mental health     D. blood pressure

【2】The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those except ________.

A. high blood pressure problems

B. making human hair thinner

C. different kinds of diseases

D. swelling in much of the body

【3】From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas ________.

A. are likely to suffer from mental problems

B. can measure the negative effect on them

C. show little concern for air pollution

D. can be exposed to polluted air longer

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution

B. Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution

C. Measurable Effect on Human Brain

D. Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution

I brought board games from home," Hallie added excitedly, "and the bookstore down the street donated the posters. When we talked to our friends about what we were doing, they were happy to give us some dishes." Hallieheld her breath as she waited for her parents' reaction.

"Everyone certainly seems to like the changes," noted Mrs. Rhodes.

"Speaking of changes," Mr. Rhodes said, "I see our name has changed, too."

"Do you mind? I changed our name to 'Come-Back Coffeehouse' to make the shop sound welcoming, as in 'Please come back again'..."
