二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.

Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.

Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.

They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.

【1】What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?

A．They produce oxygen.

B．They cover a vast area.

C．They are well managed.

D．They are rich in wildlife.

【2】Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?

A．Heavy rains

B．Big trees.

C．Small plants.

D．Forest animals.

【3】Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?

A．For more sunlight.

B．For more growing space.

C．For self-protection.

D．For the detection of insects.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Life-Giving Rainforests

B．The Law of the Jungle

C．Animals in the Amazon

D．Weather in Rainforests

27、

Good habits are formed by creating new habit loops; loops that cycle from cue (暗示) to routine to reward and back round again. Start with the routine and decide on the new habit that you want to introduce. The more detailed you can be, the better. 【1】.

Research shows that it’s best to introduce a new habit after a routine is already formed. 【2】. A cue can be as simple as deciding that after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays you will go to the gym instead of going straight home.

Once you’ve chosen a cue and worked out the routine that should follow it, you’re on your way to forming a new habit. 【3】. This is where the reward part of the loop comes in. Every time you complete the new routine you should receive a small reward. 【4】.

One of the most important aspects of forming a good habit is being realistic. While your goal might be to go running five days a week, it’s much easier to start with something a little smaller. 【5】.

A．However, the brain needs to strengthen the connection between the two.

B．As soon as you wake up every morning you’re going to drink a large glass of water.

C．Then you can point out a certain part of your day or week that can become your cue.

D．As the connections are strengthened you’ll need to put in less effort to complete the routine.

E．This way you won’t be too stressed and will still get the reward you need to strengthen the habit loop.

F．“I want to cook five dinners a week” is much easier to achieve than “I should make dinner at home more”.

G．For example, you could promise yourself a reward, such as a small break or some time to do an activity you enjoy.

28、Rewilding is a form of conservation and ecological restoration that aims to improve biodiversity and ecosystem health by restoring natural processes. Rewilding offers a lot of ecological, social, and economic benefits. However, it also has been highly criticized by conservation scientists regarding whether rewilding is good for species in the first place.

The first benefit comes with its definition: Rewilding helps to reduce the mass extinction of species by giving nature the opportunity to reestablish its natural processes and biodiversity. As human activity is currently damaging ecosystems at a great rate, rewilding helps to lessen this impact. Additionally, rewilded ecosystems help to slow climate change as they increase carbon storage and carbon removal from the atmosphere.

Rewilding also helps to protect against natural disasters such as soil erosion (侵蚀), flood risk, and forest fires. For example, rewilded trees help to delay the rate at which rainwater reaches the forest floor and the tree roots act as channels to draw rainwater underground, thus preventing flooding.

The main criticism of rewilding is that there are many uncertainties associated with it. It is not always fully known if extinct species will do well if placed back in a previous environment. This is especially the case with Pleistocene (更新世) rewilding, as species are reintroduced to ecosystems where they have been missing for thousands of years. Uncertainties exist around where these species will settle down, what they will eat, how they will reproduce, etc. Additionally, it is not always clear how other species will react to a reintroduced species.

An example of a failed rewilding attempt was at Oostvaadersplassen in the Netherlands. Wild-living cattle, horses, and red deer were brought to this reserve. However, the animals were left to starve and up to 30% of the animals died over winter periods due to lack of food.

【1】What is the main function of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic.

B．To explain what rewilding is.

C．To give a summary of the text.

D．To emphasize the benefits of rewilding.

【2】How do rewilded ecosystems help reduce the rate of climate change?

A．By improving biodiversity.

B．By keeping the rainwater.

C．By reestablishing natural processes.

D．By storing and removing more carbon.

【3】Why is an example mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．To show the importance of rewilding.

B．To support the points of the critics.

C．To call for an end to rewilding.

D．To illustrate what cannot be rewilded.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward rewilding?

A．Objective.

B．Favorable.

C．Negative.

D．Worried.

29、Military training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives. While some question the necessity of such training. Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained.

Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.

In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training. “The training routine does little to improve students’ physical fitness over only two weeks’ time. Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”

Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are willing to train under direct sunshine. “For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”

According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents: “But I still think military training is a good thing. Students are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”

Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3300 freshmen on Tsinghua University’s campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat, the 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises. “By going through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. I’ve made a lot of friends already.”

According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is not satisfying. “Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.” He thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.

However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from Xi’an Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”

【1】How many people expressing their opinions are mentioned in this passage?

A．4

B．5

C．6

D．7

【2】According to Hou Zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_____________.

A．survival skills

B．military training

C．the spirit of teamwork and endurance

D．strict exercises

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards military training?

A．Supportive

B．Subjective

C．Objective

D．Rejective

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．A Policy Made by the Ministry of Education

B．Military Training under Fire

C．A New Journey

D．A Best Way to Teach Students Discipline
