7、s; informations information第九句:were玲are; her玲him书面表达Dear editor,Recently there has been a series of wide-ranging discussions about whether it is necessary for primary school students to learn English.As a senior high school student who has gone through all the pains and efforts to learn this languag

8、e, I firmly believe its time we took immediate action to free primary school students from the sufferings.While English is a must in international trade, for most of its child learners across the country, whose number is counted in millions, English is not necessary in their future life. Nor is it a

9、n essential part in their future jobs. Most students learn English only to pass exams and thats why they will soon forget every word after graduation. Why must we trap young kids into an odyssey of learning something unimportant and unnecessary?A curriculum without English will certainly benefit par

10、ents financially, and of course, will be a blessing for young kids who desire less academic pressure and more time to play.There are several trails that traverse （横越）Tillamook Head at Ecola State Park, but the Clatsop Loop Hike is known for its breathtaking Cliffside views and quiet forested paths.

11、Take the seaside trail from Indian Beach to the Hikers Camp, then take the forested path back.1. Which is the dividing line between the north and central Oregon coast?A. Tillamook.B.

The easy hikes.D. The quiet seaside.Human is struggling to contain two major crises: Skyrocketing global

13、 temperatures and deep-diving biodiversity （生物多样性）.But people tend to solve each problem on its own, for instance by using green energies and carbon-eating machines, while surrounding ecosystems to preserve them. But a new report argues that treating each crisis in isolation （孤立地）means missing out o

14、n solutions that resolve both. Human cant solve one without also solving the other.So what might these solutions look like? Say, for instance, you turn a heavily logged forest into a national park. As the trees grow back, they would provide habitat for the return of animals. Letting a forest come ba

15、ck naturally, rather than planting a single species of tree to balance up some corporations carbon emissions （排放）,makes it recover faster. This is known as a nature-based solution, a campaign that both absorb carbon and provides an extra ecological or economic benefit.Stopping humans attacks on ecos

16、ystems can also help fight climate change, the studys authors write. Even cities can get in on the action, the report notes. Urban areas turn into heat islands because they absorb the suns energy during the day and slowly release it at night. They are therefore much hotter than surrounding rural are

17、as. Planting more trees cools cities and provides habitats for birds and shade for humans, which will be even more critical as global temperatures rise.The big threat, the authors stress, is that nature-based solutions alone cant stop climate change. As temperatures climb and droughts get more sever

18、e, itll be harder for forests, wetlands, and mangroves to survive, even with our help. First and foremost, human has to dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Nature is not going to save us. the authors say. We can only use nature to support efforts/“Still, governments and corporations ar

Doubtful.C. Critical.D. Concerned.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Why we care about

22、climate changeB. How to live in harmony with natureC. Why urban areas become “heat islandsD. How to protect species and save the planetCIt is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical （热带的）insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of

23、global warming.Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination （授粉）to waste disposal （处 理）.We have foun

24、d that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1 or 2 could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it.Many tropical species ca

25、n only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the pla

26、net.We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the fitness levels of different species. “Fitness“ was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures.We f

27、ound that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms （生物体）we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived.As well as the danger for insects, the research con

28、firms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more importan

29、t for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict.8. What does the underlined word This in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Global warming.B. Living in the tropics.C. Killing polar bears off.D. Insects becoming extinct.9. Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate chan

32、red polar bears are breeding （繁殖）with grizzly bears （灰熊）,creating pizzly bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwa

And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids （杂交种）.With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. Usually hybrids arent better suited to their environments than their par

34、ents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of pizzly bears appears with polar bears decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30

35、% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to pizzly“ bears taking up polar bears ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming/ DeSa

36、ntis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival/ Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from sear

37、ching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.Were having massive impacts with climate change on species/ DeSantis said. The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “piz

38、zly bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends/ 12. Why do polar bears move further south?A. To create hybrids.B. To expand territory.C. To relieve hunger.D. To contact grizzlies.13. What makes pizzly bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents?A.Bro
