26、 big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or un

27、affected, from the fbggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to (he San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In (he Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decl

28、ine, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housingdcvclopmcnt pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a s

29、tudy of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2021, McIntyre and his colleagues documented 记录) a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wild-lands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where tr

30、ees had suffered the greatest waler shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated ( i十算)how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing

31、 of snow-melt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the stale have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snow-melt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.( )4.What is the s

32、econd paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.( )5. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be b

33、ad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.( )6.What is a major cause of the water shortage according (o McIntyre?A. Inadequate snow-melt.B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer cliniate.D. Dampness of the air.()7.What c

34、an be a suitable title for the text?A. Californias Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California(C)What defines an cco-house? There

35、arc two features to take into consideration. Firstly, the energy efficiency and carbon emissions associated with running the house, and then the type of construction materials used, their associated emissions and the raw materials required.At Baufritz, we have won awards relating to the sustainabili

36、ty of our houses. This is because as a company we had decided to put environmental stewardship at the core of our values way back in the1960s. So how do we do it?Heating is the biggest emissions factor for any house. It is really rather simple to solve this problem make a house extremely energy effi

37、cient and this will no longer be a factor. Ultra low energy houses have become known as Passive houses, where a certain set of design characteristics help to improve efficiencies. You need a very high level of insulation in the walls and roof. Glass should be suitably positioned to optimize solar ga

38、intuemrr (heat from the sun). The house needs to be very well engineered so no heat is lost through cracks or poorly fitted windows and doors. Al Baufritz we manufacture Kit houses, and use Modem Manufacturing Methods in our factory to engineer our houses in such a way that leaks are minimized.We ha

39、ve also developed HOIZ insulation. Manufactured from natural wood waste products, HOIZ is placed between the inside and outside layers of our timber framed houses to create the highest level of insulation. Our windows and doors use triple glazing to minimize heat loss. Overheating is one of the bigg

40、est challenges Passive houses face and our architects use some very clever ventilation systems to manage internal environmental conditions. All houses still have energy-consumingappliances, but with the addition of solar for both electricity generation and water heating, the carbon footprint of the

41、homes wc produce arc further reduced.Embedded carbon in building manufacturing materials such as concrete, as well as a historic tendency lo send materials to landfills, results in a high carbon footprint and natural resource exploitation. Baufritz addresses this problem in a number of ways. Our pri

42、mary manufacturing material is wood. We source from sustainable certified forests where felled trees are replanted. In fact, we believe all building materials should be as natural as possible. Wc say no to PU construction foams, chemical insulation materials, toxic adhesives and laminate flooring. A

43、 house constructed using only natural materials creates a healthy living environment for its residents. As all our houses are manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory, waste is kept (o an absolute minimum. At the end of (heir life-cycle, ourhouses can also be recycled. Today, demolition (撤除)firm

44、s clearing the site for the new build are ableto recycle nearly all of the building materials, therefore closing the manufacturing loop.My house is old, so why is this relevant? There arc still lots of things which can be done. Improve your insulation. When your appliances expire, replace based on e

45、fficiency. Consider heat pumps instead of gas boilers and explore solar to deliver electricity and water heating. By designing and building houses to ultra low energy standards, and by using natural sustainably sourced materials and recycling the waste products from our manufacturing processes, we a

46、re able to deliver Carbon Neutral Houses. This means that the total carbon footprint throughout the life-cycle of each house is zero, which is why we call ourselves eco-house pioneers. All houses are prefabricated at our state-of-the-art factory in Erkheim, Germany, and then assembled on site.( )8.

47、According to the passage, which of the following isNOTassociated with the sustainability of eco-houses?A. The raw materials used.B. Energy efficiency of the house.C. Carbon emissions released by house designers.D. Construction materials used and their emissions.E. )9. From the passage it can be infe

48、rred that Passive houses.A. fail to optimize solar gainB. need to be carefully engineered to trap heatC. use more energy-consuming appliances than Kit housesD. could have less comfortable environmental conditions inside them()10. Which of the following statements is true about the way Baufritz build

49、s houses?A. House recycling is an additional service provided free by Baufritz.B. Building materials arc obtained from factories to ensure their quality.C. Man-made materials are applied to reduce their impact on the environment.D. The houses are all manufactured in their factory so as to reduce costs and waste.( )11. The purpose of the passage is t
