2. One sunny morning, my wife and I piled the kids into the car with a hope that my memory was

reliable. We went out looking for my trees.

About 25 years ago, I started working as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. I would have planted

several thousand a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. I worked every summer for six years,

which added up to over 500,000 trees. While we were planting, we talked about what our trees

would be like when they grew taller. The small trees were no longer than my thumb. It seemed

unlikely that our trees would last more than a day or two.

Eventually, I stopped the car and stared at the clear blue sky and treetops softly waving. I walked

toward them.

They were so tall and solid, much bigger than I thought they would be. There were so many of them,

waving soundlessly in the wind like they were welcoming me. Row upon row of fully grown,

healthy pines left me speechless. They spoke of that time of my life, in 1995, when I was strong and

young in my mid-20s.

I walked among them, listening to the sound of the wind in their high branches. Humbled and moved,

I never had such a strong sense of my impact on the world.

I felt a quiet presence and at home among my trees, as if they had been waiting for me. What was

unclear and unlikely had grown specific and very real. What I had held in my hands had grown into

a towering forest surrounding me.

My kids ran to join me.

“You planted all these?” asked my 10-year-old son, Forest.

“I planted more than this every day. And this is where your name comes from,” I told him.

Together, with my 6-year-old son River, we walked deeper into the woods and spotted a clearing.

We emerged suddenly into the open space and I felt even more at home than in the forest I’d planted.

It was more familiar, this open space where I had once spent thousands and thousands of hours.

3. The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species

are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to

adjust to a quickly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal

(传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs

within one kilometer of the original plant. Writing in Nature, Juan P. González-Varo sheds light on

the potential capacity of migratory (迁徙的) birds to aid seed dispersal.

González-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate

change through the help of migrating birds. They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different

seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting

times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe.

The authors assumed that the direction of seed migration depends on how the plants interact with

migratory birds, the frequency of these interactions or the number of bird species that might

transport seeds from each plant species.

Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent

of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of migratory birds.

This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that

persist over the winter. This means that the ability of plants to keep up with climate change could be

shaped by their evolutionary history – implying that future plant communities in the Northern

Hemisphere will probably come from plant species that are phylogenetically closely related and that

have migrated from the south.

This study provides a great example of how migratory birds might assist plant redistribution to new

locations that would normally be difficult for them to reach on their own, and which might offer a

suitable climate.

B．Planting trees with families.

D．Making for a greener future

B．an empty place

D．a clean cottage

1. How could plants keep pace with the rapid climate change according to González-Varo?

A．With the help of wind and water.

B．With the help of migratory birds.

C．By adjusting themselves to the climate.

D．By relying on animals on land.

2. How did González-Varo and his colleagues conduct the research?

A．Most plant species benefit from long-distance dispersal.

B．The evolutionary history of different plants is similar.

C．Plants with longer fruiting times adapt better when transported farther.

D．Plant communities in different hemispheres will become less related phylogenetically.

4. What could be the main idea for the text?

A．Impacts of climate change on migratory birds.

B．Different ways to redistribute plants to new climates.

C．Plants struggle to keep pace with climate change.

D．Migratory birds aid the redistribution of plants to new climates.

4. If you were to rate the most walkable cities in the world, what would you look for? Would it be

how shaded the sidewalks are? How many benches there are along the way to your destination? Or

maybe how close you are to shops or local attractions?

Well, the researchers at the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), located in

New York. US, wanted to know which of the world’s cities were the best for pedestrians (行人). So,

they did just that.

To determine which cities were the most walkable, they rated cities based on factors such as how

close citizens were to car-free areas like public parks, how close citizens lived in relation to schools

and hospitals, and how short their journeys were overall.

According to the study, they found that the most walkable cities in the world are London, Paris,

Bogota and Hong Kong. Overall, London was at the top of the list, outranking (超过) nearly 1, 000

cities around the world on these key factors.

“In order to provide safety and inviting walking conditions for all city residents, it is essential to

shift the balance of space in our cities away from cars, providing more travel options for people,”

CEO of ITDP Heather Thompson told the magazine Cities Today. She continued, “We have so

much to gain-from cleaner air to better health to stronger local economies and deeper bonds within

communities, and we all need that now more than ever. ”

Unfortunately, it seems that very few cities make pedestrians a priority, though.

“Our city streets across the planet are already full of cars. If you really want to see the worst for

walkability, it is the really sprawling (杂乱无序伸展的) cities of the US, ” commented Taylor Reich,

a research associate at ITDP and the primary author of the guide to making cities more walkable.

So, what can cities do to make their streets friendlier for pedestrians?

“There’s no one secret sauce; there’s no one thing you can do to make a city walkable, ” Reich said.

“It’s many decisions that are made at all levels from individual streets all the way up to the city

design.”

1. What’s the purpose of the study?

A．To call on cities to make streets more walkable.

B．To find out the most walkable cities around the world.

C．To investigate pedestrians’ satisfaction with city life.

D．To explore factors impacting the walkability of cities.

2. On what basis do researchers measure a city’s walkability?

A．The amount of green space on sidewalks.

B．Traffic and road conditions for pedestrians.

C．The number of public services for pedestrians.

D．Accessibility of certain destinations to pedestrians.

3. What does Heather Thompson suggest to improve walking conditions?

A．Increasing travel choices.

C．Limiting the number of cars.

4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Cars are major contributors to reduced walkability.

B．US cities are designed to give priority to pedestrians.

C．It is everyone’s responsibility to make a city walkable.

B．Developing local economies.

D．Connecting local communities.

D．Both small and large scale measures are required to improve walkability.

5. It is necessary for us to improve our problem-solving you don't properly understand the

problem, your solutions may be ineffective or fail entirely. 1 For example,is there one problem or

actually several?Can you restate the problem in your own words?By spending time with the problem

you will better understand it and be equipped to generate（产生）solutions.

2 Collect data,ask people or experts connected to the problem,look for resources online,in print,or

elsewhere. Once you have data,organize to do this by rewording or summarizing s

you could even map it out in a may not need to bother with this step for simple

problems,but it will be essential for those of a more complex one.

The first step in finding a solution is to look at data that you have gathered about the problem and to

analyze its importance. 3 Start with the raw mes,information will need to be broken into

smaller,more manageable parts or to be ranked for its importance.

4 .You might do this on a limited,trial scale at first to test the ,you might go all in

mind that unpredictable problems which you did not plan can arise at this stage.

Keep in mind that problem-solving works in a will generate a number of different solutions

that each should not be ignored. 5 If not,then you must look for another solution and start the

process over make small changes if necessary.

A．If you fix the problem,you have found a suitable solution.

B．Once you have chosen the best solution,put it into practice.

C．You should focus on the problem and your problem-solving process.

D．Gather as many acts as you can about the problem to get a clear picture of it.

E．A hobby is another way that you can continue to improve your problem solving skills.

F．To define the problem clearly,you will have to ask questions and look at different angles.

G．When analyzing,you will look for links and relationships for better understanding the

overall situation.

this day, and they are registered as part of UNESCO’S Memory of the World Programme.

In addition to their architectural achievements, the Lei family 7 (show) diligence (勤奋) and

modesty. Each generation conscientiously learnt their skills and undertook ambitious projects, many

of which took years 8 (complete). Yet they did not seek fame, and even today, their great works are

Studying in the UK have been a good experience for me. When I first arrived, I find life very hard as

I didn’t know anybody here, but I soon got to know other Chinese student at the university. Later I

became interesting in communicating with people from various cultures, and I made fewer friends.

During my study, I chose to live in with my classmates in the dormitory. I think it’s better than

living in British family because I can meet people from different countries easy. The courses here

are excellent. I enjoy the way the teachers give lessons. We are encouraged to think for yourselves,

which is quite different from that I have experienced before.
