In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents. This peaceful area didn't appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin GabePs Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh.Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth. lkTiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers/' Walsh explained. The end result is a fast-growing, native forest in about 20 years. Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon.Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America. He shared his vision with seniors in his class. The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Armed with these resources, Walsh and （he students started working. ''Something I didn't really expect was the outpouring of students, enthusiasm. Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the 4dirty work' really blew me away,“ Walsh said.Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade. “r11 graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, bul it's really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit. We're creating this educational space for many young kids,” Cover said.Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature. kiThc forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation （重新造林）and trees when they look at the forest.24.

A source of enjoyment.B. A reminder.C. A source of inspiration.D. A witness.CLila Glcitman was driving her two-year-old daughter in the car when, going across a sharp turn, she advised her daughter to "hold on tight'*. The kid responded, 'isn't that 'tightly'?”It was a turning point in her career. Realizing that her two-year-old already had an understanding of language made Glcitman want to get into her child's head. She wondered: What docs she know, and when does she know it?Gleitman turned those questions into a research career that helped define psycholinguistics (心理语言 学).Her early interest coincided with Noam Chomsky, a frequent visitor to the University of Pennsylvania when she studied there. The two scholars considered that (he mental systems which might produce the sentences you hear, are shaped by abstract rules that speakers may not even know that they know.An early piece of Gleitman's research, for example, researched small children's "telegraphic“ speech, in which many words are left out: a kid might say "throw bali,' rather than “throw me the ball”. This seems to imply that the child's knowledge is primitive. But she found that children obey instructions belter when their parents use aduk-style English than when they copy their kids.So parents do not need to use “motherese” her husband Henry's term with their children. She found that their progressive mastery of language rules had little to do with how much (or little) motherese their caregivers used.As the learning process goes on, children deploy some remarkable strategies. They often seem to correctly guess what a word means after hearing it just once. The physical environment is an obvious encouragement (as when they hear "dog" and see one at the same time). But how would a child guess the meaning of the verb in “I believed that he lost his keys"? Glcitman noticed that the sentence struciurc is identical to those with other verbs that mean similar things: saw, remembered, worried and doubted. More broadly, it turned out that verbs which are similar in meaning tend to turn up in similar sentence structures. This helps children learn quickly, a process she called “syntactic bootstrapping (语法 自 举)28. What was the turning point in Glcitman's career?A. Her husband's persuasion.B. One suggestion from her professor.C. One sentence from her daughter.D. Her meeting with Noam Chomsky.29. When do kids follow their parents' instructions better?A. When the parents use “motherese”.B. When the parents use adult-style English.C. When the parents copy their kids' languages.D. When the parents adopt remarkable strategies.30. What does the underlined word “deploy“ in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Use.B. Plan.C. Change.D. Abandon.31. How docs a kid know the meaning of a verb according to Gleitman?A. By looking it up in a dictionary.B. By being told by his or her parents.C. By learning it in his or her school.D. By guessing it from sentence structures.DIl's one of the ultimate tests of willpower: yoifve been wandering around （he market for hours and you're tired and hungry. Then you catch a smell of something fragrant （香的）and delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. Junk food companies are well aware that the smell of their product sets off a desire in your brain and that you'll pay for that later. It is a response that has been researched, and you'd better believe your favorite fast-food chains have marketing teams that are using that research to their advantage.Let's take a closer l（M）k at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever indulgent food （放纵型食 品）catches your attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? A couple of minutes later you are standing in line, and it isn't quite as appealing as it was just moments ago, but now you've invested time, so you trust your first feeling to treat yourself.But a recent statement says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. Dipayan Biswas, a marketing professor, found there is a direct connection between how long a person is exposed to indulgent food smells and choosing healthier foods. "The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes lojunk food smells leads to fewer purchases of unhealthy foods compared with no smell or a non-junk-food-related smell,“ reads the summary of his study.What appears to be going on here is that the brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and a pleasant taste. "Extended exposure to an indulgent food smell brings pleasure in （he mind, which in turn reduces the desire for actual consumption of indulgent foods/' he explains. So next time you feel you don't have the willpower to resist cookies, smell all that sweetness for just a minute or two. To your brain it's the same as actually eating cookies, and the purchase desire would decrease.32. What can we learn about junk food smells from the first paragraph?A. They hardly affect people's food choices.B. They can make a difference in marketing.C. They arc unlikely （o fool wise customers.D. They finally decrease people's purchase desire.33. What does the second paragraph basically serve as?A. An example. B. An argument. C. A comparison. D. A comment. 34. Which statement will Biswas probably agree with?A. The influence of food smells changes over time.B. The senses of taste and smell arc closely linked.C. The behavior of smelling food doesn't equal eating it.D. The brain can't tell where sensorj, pleasure is from.35. Which of the following could （he best title for the text?A. Train Your Brain to Resist Junk FoodB. Watch Out for Tricky Marketing ToolsC. Food Addiction Is Never About WillpowerD. Smelling Junk Food Longer Can Keep You Off It第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。Some people love a great thunderstorm; others arc frightened by the first flash of lightning or sound of thunder. 36 But there are easy steps you can take to protect your home and your life from lightning.Protect Electronics from Severe Weather37 It can follow the wires or phone lines into your room ruining computers, TVs and other electronics. One protection against electronics being “fried" by lightning is simply to unplug them whenever a rain or a storm is coming. Disconnect Internet and satellite connections no matter where they are.Reduce the Risk of FireLightning rods （避宙针）can protect a building from catching fire. 38 They jusi provide a path for the electricity to reach the ground more safely. The rods at the top of the building are only the first part of a good system. When lightning strikes, the electricity needs to move to the ground. Wires conduct electricity from the lightning rods to metal rods buried in the ground. 39Understand LightningWhen lightning hits the ground, a tree, a tower or even a building, it may also spreads along the ground, so being near something ihai's struck by lightning is almost as dangerous as being hit directly by lightning. 40 The Empire State Building gets struck by lightning around 20 times every year. Its lightning rod protects the structure, as well as the people inside.A. It can even strike the same spot more than once.B. You might want to consider protecting an entire building.C. When this happens, anything in its path could be in danger.D. But the chance of lightning striking your house doesn't change.E
