Califrnia has lst half its big trees since the 1930s, accrding t a study t be published Tuesday and climate change seems t be a majr factr (因素).
The number f trees larger than tw feet acrss has declined by 50 percent n mre than 46,000 square miles f Califrnia frests, the new study finds. N area was spared r unaffected, frm the fggy nrthern cast t the Sierra Nevada Muntains t the San Gabriels abve Ls Angeles. In the Sierra high cuntry, the number f big trees has fallen by mre than 55 percent; in parts f suthern Califrnia the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factrs cntributed t the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an eclgist wh was the lead authr f the study. Wdcutters targeted big trees. Husing develpment pushed int the wds. Aggressive wildfire cntrl has left Califrnia frests crwded with small trees that cmpete with big trees fr resurces (资源).
But in cmparing a study f Califrnia frests dne in the 1920s and 1930s with anther ne between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his clleagues dcumented a widespread death f big trees that was evident even in wildlands prtected frm wdcutting r develpment.
The lss f big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shrtage. The researchers figured ut water stress with a cmputer mdel that calculated hw much water trees were getting in cmparisn with hw much they needed, taking int accunt such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness f sil, and the timing f snwmelt (融雪).
​ Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factrs driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees t lse mre water t the air, and earlier snwmelt, which reduces the water supply available t trees during the dry seasn.
24. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The seriusness f big-tree lss in Califrnia.
B. The increasing variety f Califrnia big trees.
C. The distributin f big trees in Califrnia frests.
D. The influence f fanning n big trees in Califrnia.
25. Which f the fllwing is well-intentined but may be bad fr big trees?
A. Eclgical studies f frests. B. Banning wdcutting.
C. Limiting husing develpment. D. Fire cntrl measures.
26. What is a majr cause f the water shrtage accrding t McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snwmelt.B. A lnger dry seasn.
C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness f the air.
27. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Califrnia's Frests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gne?
B. Cutting f Big Trees t Be Prhibited in Califrnia Sn
C. Why Are the Big Trees Imprtant t Califrnia Frests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grw Mre Big Trees in Califrnia

It's generally believed that peple act the way they d because f their persnalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care abut the envirnment. They pay $5 fr a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive cffee drinks.
It's undeniable that behavir cmes frm ur inner dispsitins (性情), but in many instances we als draw inferences abut wh we are, as suggested by the scial psychlgist Daryl Bern, by bserving ur wn behavir. We can be strangers t urselves. If we knew ur wn minds, why wuld we need t guess what ur preferences are frm ur behavir? If ur minds were an pen bk, we wuld knw exactly hw much we care abut the envirnment r like lattes. Actually, we ften need t lk t ur behavir t figure ut wh we are.
Mrever, we dn't just use ur behavir t learn abut ur particular types f character—we infer characters that weren't there befre. Our behavir is ften shaped by little pressures arund us, which we fail t recgnize. Maybe we recycle because ur wives and neighbrs wuld disapprve if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in rder t impress the peple arund us. We shuld nt mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result f sme inner dispsitin.
Whatever pressures there can be r inferences ne can make, peple becme what they d, thugh it may nt be in cmpliance (符合) with their true desires. Therefre, we shuld all bear in mind Kurt Vnnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend t be, s we must be careful abut what we pretend t be. “
28. Accrding t the passage, persnalities and attitudes are cmmnly believed t
A. determine ne's behavirB. reflect ne's taste
C. influence ne's surrundingsD. result frm ne's habits
29. Which f the fllwing wuld Daryl Bern mst prbably agree with?
A. The return f a wallet can indicate ne's hnesty.
B. A kind persn will ffer his seat t the ld.
C. One recycles plastics t prtect the envirnment.
D. One buys latte ut f true lve f cffee.
30. What can be inferred frm the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. We fall t realize ur inner dispsitins.
B. We can be influenced by utside pressures.
C. Our behavir is the result f ur true desires.
D. Our characters can shape ur scial relatinships.
What des the authr mainly discuss in the passage?

I start every summer with the best f intentins： t attack ne big bk frm the past， a classic that I was suppsed t have read when yung and ambitius． Often the pairings f bks and settings have been purely accidental： "Mby Dick" n a three-day crss-cuntry train trip： "The Magic Muntain" in a New England beachside cttage with n lcks n the drs， n telephnes r televisins in the rms， and little t d beynd rw n the salt pnd． Attempting "The Man Withut Qualities" n a return t Hawaii， my native state， hwever， was less fruitful： I made it thrugh ne and a quarter vlumes （册）， then decided that I'd gt the pint and went swimming instead．
But this summer I find myself at a lss． I'm nt quite interested in Balzac，say，r "Tristram Shandy．" There's always War and Peace， which I've cvered sme distance several times， nly t get bgged dwn in the "War" part， set it aside fr a while， and realize that I have t start ver frm the beginning again， having frgtten everyne's name and scial rank． Hw appealing t simply fall back n a favrite-nce mre int "The Waves" r "Justine，" which feels almst like cheating， t exciting and t much fun t prperly belng in serius literature．
And then there's Stendhal's "The Red and the Black"， which happens t be the name f my favrite ccktail （鸡尾酒） f the summer， created by Michael Ceccni at Savy and Back Frty． It is easy t drink， and kncking back three r fur seems like such a delightful idea． Ceccni's thery： "I take whatever's fresh at the greenmarket and turn it int liquid．" The result is a pure sht f afternn in the park， making ne feel cheerful and peaceful all at nce， lying n uncut grass with eyes shut， sun beating thrugh the lids…

Emtinal eating patterns can be learned: A child wh is given candy after a big achievement may grw up using candy as a reward fr a jb well dne. (39) It's nt easy t "unlearn" patterns f emtinal eating. But it is pssible. And it starts with an awareness f what's ging n.
We're all emtinal eaters t a degree. But fr sme peple emtinal eating can be a real prblem, causing serius weight gain r ther prblems. The truble with emtinal eating is that nce the pleasure f eating is gne, the feelings that cause it remain. (40) That's why it helps t knw the difference between physical hunger and emtinal hunger.
Next time yu reach fr a snack, wait and think abut which type f hunger is driving it.
A. Believe it r nt, we've all been there.
B. If a crying by gets sme ckies, he may link ckies with cmfrt.
C. One study fund that peple wh eat fd like pizza becme happy afterwards.
D. And yu ften may feel wrse abut eating the amunt r type f fd yu like.
E. Understanding what drives emtinal eating can help peple take steps t change it.
F. Bys seem t prefer ht, hmemade cmfrt meals, while girls g fr chclate and ice cream.
G. Mre ften, thugh, it's the cuntless little daily stresses that cause smene t seek cmfrt in fd.

36. wealthy 此处应用形容词wealthy（富有的）作定语修饰名词peple。
37. r 句意为：他们把藏品留在家里，直到这些藏品变得太多或者他们去世，然后才会将其捐赠给博物馆。此处until it gt t big和until they died是两个并列成分，表示选择关系，故用连词r。
38. frmed 本句主语是The 80,000 bjects，由上文的In the 18th and 19th centuries和本句尾的时间状语in 1759可知事件发生在过去，故谓语动词frm应用一般过去时。
39. which / that 关系代词which / that引导定语从句，指代先行词the British Museum，在从句中作主语。
40. are called 本句主语The parts f a museum与动词call为被动关系，故用其被动语态。本段讲述的是有关博物馆的客观事实，又根据后面的is可知应用一般现在时。
41. is “a part f + 名词”作主语时，谓语动词通常与f后名词的数保持一致。本句中a small part f后的名词为a museum’s cllectin，故用is。
42. themselves 句意为：想象他们自己生活在一个不同的历史时期。此处为“imagine sb ding sth”结构，living … 是动名词短语作imagine 的宾语，反身代词themselves是living …的逻辑主语。
43. walking “imagine sb ding sth”结构中，空白处与living用r连接，是并列关系，故用walking。
44. accuracy 根据空白处之前的形容词histrical及后面的谓语动词is可知，此处应填名词accuracy作句子的主语。
45. fr 句意为：博物馆必须与其他娱乐活动争夺人们的业余时间和金钱。cmpete fr … with … 是固定搭配，意为“与……争夺……”。
