less CO‎​‎‎2‎ from the air than forest trees． A new study finds that city trees grow faster and die younger than trees in forests． Studies have shown forests readily absorb CO‎​‎‎2‎． But there haven't been much data on whether city trees grow,  die and absorb CO‎​‎‎2‎ at the same rate that forest trees do． So Lucy Hutyra,  an environmental scientist,  and her colleagues at Boston University in Massachusetts decided to find it out．     To figure out how quickly trees were growing the researchers tracked their diameters （直径） of their trunks from 2005 to 2014． The team focused on red oaks and red maples growing on Boston streets． These grew four times faster than the same species did in a nearby forest． Faster ﹣growing trees absorb more CO‎​‎‎2‎． Over the nine years the researchers have tracked these trees and found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as the forest trees did． The city trees also,  however,  were twice as likely to die．     City trees grow faster because they have less competition with their neighbors for light． In a forest,  trees tend to grow close together,  shading their neighbors． So few may get as much light as they want．     "Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen （氮气） in rainwater． Nitrogen is an element that helps plants grow． It's also an ingredient （成分） of the． gas﹣burning cars' exhausts． Some street trees also may have better access to water than trees in the country． That's because the underground water pipes can leak, " says Hutyra．     Shaun Watmough,  an environmental scientist,  says it's important to keep in mind that people plant city trees along city streets not just to absorb carbon． The trees also help clean the air,  provide shade and make a city more beautiful even if it's only for decades,  not centuries． ‎ ‎（1）What does the new research find？________‎ A.Forest trees grow in a faster speed than city trees．‎ B.City trees have larger economic value than forest trees．‎ C.Forest trees are equal to city trees in number．‎ D.City trees have a shorter life than forest trees．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）How did researchers know the growth rate of trees？________‎ A.They kept a record of the width of trees' bodies．‎ B.They exposed trees to strong sunshine．‎ C.They produced large amounts of car gases to trees．‎ D.They made trees compete for light against each other．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What can we infer about forest trees from the text？________‎ A.They have stronger roots．‎ B.They absorb more CO‎​‎‎2‎ C.They have more competitors than city trees．‎ D.They live in a nitrogen﹣enriched environment．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What is Shaun Watmough's attitude towards planting city trees？________‎ A.Doubtful． B.Approving． C.Uncertain． D.Pessimistic．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Lincoln High Calculus （微积分） teacher Anthony Yom has given his students the desire to learn and the will to succeed． While his classes are challenging,  the educator does all he can to keep his students invested,  combining real﹣life situations and his lessons to show them the value of their work． He challenges us to the maximum,  so we do better on tests,  sophomore student Alexis Pong told the Los Angeles Times． One of Yom's other students,  17﹣year﹣old Cedrick Argueta,  completed a perfect test paper on the Advanced Placement Calculus exam． Only 12 students in the world accomplished ________． As for,  all of Yom's other AP Calculus students,  each of them passed the challenging exam．     Yom said most of the praise should go to the kids,  though he does go above and beyond his students． However,  when he first started teaching at Lincoln High,  it wasn't always smooth sailing． Yom felt nervous about the number of students who were unmotivated and unprepared． Some even attempted to physically threaten the teacher． But he didn't give in． And he gave up his free time to tutor on weekends and during vacations．     At Lincoln High,  80% of the students are Latino （拉丁裔） and Yom hopes to encourage more of them to take his college prep classes,  which are currently dominated （支配） by Asians． "I don't think the Asian students are any smarter than the Latino students, " the teacher states,  mentioning that low Latino participation can be connected to cultural differences and expectations． Fortunately,  Cedrick Argueta's AP Calculus success story serves as the perfect example． "My mother cleans houses, " Argueta reveals． "My father is a factory worker．" But the student would be likely to work for NASA or become a teacher．     What is the key to Yom's success as a teacher?  "This may sound dull,  but you really have to love them．" the devoted instructor concludes． ‎ ‎（1）What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 1 refer to？________‎ 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 A.Preparing for a key university．‎ B.Getting a full mark on the APC exam．‎ C.Passing the APC exam．‎ D.Learning very well．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Which of the following can best describe Anthony Yom？________‎ A.Proud and rude． B.Kind and smart． C.Mean and stubborn． D.Modest and devoted．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）Why did the author use Cedrick Argueta as an example？________‎ A.To encourage parents to send their children to school．‎ B.To praise Cedrick Argueta's great efforts．‎ C.To show Latino students can be clever and successful．‎ D.To show Cedrick Argueta's idea is better than teachers．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）Where is the text probably taken from？________‎ A.A newspaper． B.A math book． C.A guidebook． D.A sports magazine． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Centuries ago,  influencing people on a large scale （规模） wasn't easy for ordinary people． Word of mouth was really the only way to pass on information． Books had to be hand﹣copied,  which took a lot of time and was expensive． When the printing press arrived,  many more people could get reading materials． Go back to the present age of the,  Internet and social media,  anyone's voice can be heard,  and anyone's face can be seen within seconds worldwide．     If you want to expand your ________,  online videos might be the answer． The online videos are very popular nowadays． Here are the facts:  432,  000 hours of videos are uploaded daily to YouTube． Sitting through all of them would take you 50 years! Also,  the number of people watching YouTube has increased by 40 percent every year since 2014． It is said that by 2019,  video traffic will be 80 percent of all Internet traffic．     In short,  if you're the kind of person that likes leaving your mark,  consider becoming a YouTuber． YouTubers are people who often produce and appear in online videos． Perhaps you have thought that creating and posting videos online isn't real work． Think again． Weng﹣ie,  a Chinese﹣born Australian vlogger （博主） has more than 9 million followers． She struggles to be a success． It's bridging that gap between making videos in your bedroom and actually building a media business．     Companies have offered her paid vacations so she could post photos online． She has to refuse several offers because she is too busy making videos．     Don't feel like you have to be the next YouTube star in order to get started． Start small． Be patient． Have fun． A lot can be done with just your smart phone,  your good idea and,  most importantly you． What's stopping you from using videos to influence the online world?  ‎ ‎（1）What does the underlined word "incidence" in paragraph 2 mean？________‎ A.The extent of effect． B.The number of videos． C.The business done online． D.The desire to be a vlogger．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）How does the author mainly present the popularity of online videos？________‎ A.Asking questions． B.Giving a definition． C.Giving examples． D.Listing figures．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What do we know about successful YouTubers according to the text？________‎ A.They are stars at the start．‎ B.They are hard﹣working．‎ C.They tend to do unreal work．‎ D.They make money more easily than others．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What can be the best title for the text？________‎ A.Update Your Own Videos B.You and Your Smart phone C.YouTube for You D.The New Social Media App． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Can you be too beautiful?  It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother ﹣ as much as we might like to dream that it were the case．     Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long﹣standing interest in psychology． Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation ﹣ or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?  At the most basic level,  beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo （光环） around it;  we see that someone has one good quality,  and by association,  our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too．     But if beauty pays in most circumstances,  there are still situations where it can have opposite results． While attractive men may be considered better leaders,  for instance,  hidden sexist prejudices （偏见） can work against attractive women,  making them less likely to be hired for high﹣level jobs that require power． And as you might expect,  good﹣looking people of both sexes run into envy ﹣ one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex,  they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are．     More worryingly,  being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care． We tend to link good looks to health,  meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good﹣looking． When treating people for pain,  for instance,  doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people．     To conclude,  scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety ﹣ even for those already blessed with good looks． "If you are crazy about attractiveness,  it may affect your experience and interactions, " she says． It's an outdated saying,  but no amount of beauty can 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 ‎ make up for a bad personality． As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly:  "________" ‎ ‎（1）From paragraph 1， we can learn that________．‎ A.most people are not afraid of being too beautiful B.some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance C.we might always dream about being bothered by others D.being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Which is right according to the passage？________‎ A.Beautiful people tend to have a healthy body．‎ B.Doctors care more about beautiful patients．‎ C.Attractive women and men have equal chance of leadership．‎ D.Focusing too much on your appearance can be harmful．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What's the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？________‎ A.Beauty can help make a better personality．‎ B.The more beautiful outside， the less beautiful inside．‎ C.Beauty cannot make up for bad personalities．‎ D.Ugly people have more confidence in their personality．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What might be the best title for the passage？________‎ A.The Bad Effects of Beauty B.What is Real Beauty？ C.Benefits of Beauty D.Beauty， a Blessing？． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Dutch officials toasted on Tuesday the opening of what is being called the world's first 3D﹣printed concrete bridge,  which is meant to be used by cyclists． There was applause as officials wearing hard hats and workmen's jackets rode over the bridge on their bikes at the opening ceremony in the southeastern town of Gemert．     "The bridge is not very big,  but it was rolled out by a printer which makes it unique, " Theo Salet,  from the Eindhoven University of Technology,  told Dutch broadcaster NOS． Work on printing the bridge,  which has some 800 layers,  took about three months after starting in June and it is made of pre﹣stressed concrete,  according to the university． "One of the advantages of printing a bridge is that much less concrete is needed than in the conventional technique in which a mould （泥浆） is filled, " it said on its website,  adding "a printer deposits the concrete only where it is needed．"     The eight﹣metre （26﹣foot） bridge crosses a water﹣filled channel to connect two roads,  and it was tested for safety to bear loads of up to two metric tons in cooperation with the BAM Infra Construction Company． "Although designed for bikes,  it could take up to 40 trucks, "the designers said． "We are looking to the future, " said the head of BAM,  Marinus Schimmel． "3D printing meant fewer rare resources were needed and there was significantly less waste, " he added．     The Netherlands is among countries,  with the United States and China,  taking a lead in this cutting﹣edge technology,  using computers and robotics to construct objects and structures from scratch without using much traditional manpower． Last year a Dutch architect unveiled （提示） a unique 3D printer with which he hopes to construct an "endless loop" building． And a Dutch start﹣up called MX3D has begun printing a stainless﹣steel bridge,  of which a third is already completed． The aim is to finish printing by March and lay the bridge over an Amsterdam canal in the future． ‎ ‎（1）According to the text， what makes the bridge unique？________‎ A.It opens only to cyclists． B.It adopts 3D printing． C.It is made of new material． D.It uses much less concrete．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Which does Marinus Schimmel agree ？________‎ A.The kind of bridge is energy﹣saving．‎ B.In theory， it can support up to 40 bicycles．‎ C.The kind of bridge is safer than traditional ones．‎ D.The technology has been used widely．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）Which statement is true based on the last paragraph？________‎ A.A stainless﹣steel bridge has been half constructed．‎ B.The project of an "endless loop" building has begun．‎ C.China is a country with advanced 3D printing．‎ D.3D printing technology needs no manpower．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）Where can you read this passage？________‎ A.Engineering paper． B.News report． C.History textbook． D.Advertisement． ‎ 三、七选五 ‎ ‎ ‎ The volunteer work experience is a great way to give back to the community． （1）_______． Choosing the best volunteer work experience is largely related to your interests and your future career goals． You may want to choose to volunteer someplace where future internships （实习） or paid positions might be available． You should consider where volunteers are most needed in your community． （2）_______． As you are considering the volunteer work experience you want to get， you might start by considering your interests and where you hope to take your career． If you really enjoy working with kids and want to become a teacher， volunteering in an after﹣school or tutoring program can be a great place to start． （3）_______．
