recentanalysis.For the analysis,researchers looked through nearly 400 published studies including over 2，800 experiments on how pesticides affect soil organisms.They found that pesticides harmedorganisms critical to maintaining healthy soils,but these harms have never been considered in thesafety reviews of the EPA(Environmental Protection Agency).Poisonous pesticides are drivingfactors in the sharp decline of many soil organisms,such as ground beetles.They have beenidentified as the most significant driver of soil biodiversity loss in the last ten years.However,that research has always been ignored.The EPA,which is responsible for pesticidesupervision(监 管)in the country,openly acknowledges that somewhere between 50 and 100percent of all agriculturally applied pesticides end up on the soil.Yet,to assess pesticides harms tosoil species,the agency just uses a single test species,the European honeybee,to estimate risk to allsoil organisms.It spends its entire life aboveground in artificial boxes.Worse still,as soil health gain popularity globally,pesticide companies have jumped up togreenwash and promote their products.Every major company is now advertising its role inimproving soil health,such as advocating planting cover crops.As general beliefs,these practicesare indeed good for soil health and,if adopted responsibly,are a great step to take.But companiesknow that these practices are often accompanied by increased pesticide use.Chemicals andpesticides have to be applied more frequently to kill weeds before crops are planted.The longterm environmental cost can no longer be overlooked.Soils are some of the mostcomplex ecosystems on Earth,containing nearly a quarter of the planets biodiversity.Protectingthem should be a priority,not an afterthought.()28.What does the underlined word“They”refer to in Paragraph 2?A.Soil organisms.B.Ground beetles.C.Artificial boxes.D.Poisonous pesticides.()29.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.The honeybee is a typical species living in nature.B.The assessment of pesticides harms is onesided.C.Less than half of applied pesticide go to the soil eventually.5D.The EPAattaches great importance to pesticide inspection.()30.Why do pesticide companies advocate planting cover crops?A.To obey the EPAs rules.B.To increase their product sales.C.To protect the environment.D.To shoulder their social responsibility.()31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Soil:essential to agriculture.B.Pesticides:harmful to soil health.C.Organisms:significant to harvest.D.Pollution:destructive to biodiversity.DAs winter approaches,warmblooded animals choose to handle the cold in a social way:crowding together in bunches.From mice to Himalayan rabbits,individuals in a group will gathertogether to share the heat from their bodies and avoid the risk of dying from cold.While humans may not physically crowd together,our ancestors would have been relying onthe support of others for food,fuel and shelter,and this would have been especially important whenit was cold.Thus,they might be very sensitive to others when the temperature dropped.They werelikely to seek out other sources of warmth,if they felt that they could no longer rely on the groupfor support.Psychologist Geoffrey was the first to investigate that.He turned to a video game calledCyberball,which attempts to recreate the kind of social rejection that many of us might haveexperienced in the playground.Each participant is seemingly placed in a group of three and askedto play virtual catch with two other people,hidden out of sight.In fact,two of the players arecontrolled by a computer.In the beginning,these computerized players are designed to throw theball to the participant,but after a while they begin to avoid the participant as programmed,so thatthe participant no longer feels involved in the game.Having been excluded by the other players,theparticipant reports feeling rejected.And the participants have the tendency to look for sources ofwarmth as comfort.Like all psychological discoveries,it may be of significance to humans mental health.Its saidthat patients with depression often report feeling cold.A deeper understanding of the psychologicalmechanism might suggest new treatments for this disorder.More immediately,with fuel billsincreasing,the emotional effects of the cold this winter need to be considered.Clearly,practicalsolutions to the fuel crisis must come first,but we might also look for ways to connect more withthose around us like animals crowding together both physically and socially.()32.Why does the author mention“mice”and“rabbits”in Paragraph 1?A.To make a prediction.B.To draw a comparison.C.To explain a regulation.D.To illustrate a phenomenon.()33.What can we infer about our ancestors?A.They depended on each other for survival.B.They tended to live close to one another.C.They were relatively more sensitive to cold.D.They had abundant sources of warmth in winter.()34.What are the participants likely to do when they feel rejected?A.They may buy an icecream.B.They may drink a cup of hot coffee.C.They may eat some potato chips.D.They may consume cool orange juice.()35.Which of the following is true about the discovery?A.It helps solve the fuel crisis.6B.It provides reasons for depression.C.It contributes to the emotional health.D.It suggests less connection between people.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why is it important to think
