Yung trees dn't just grw; they develp a persnality and learn mre abut their envirnment and hw they shuld best behave in it. They als help each ther ut whenever there's truble.
Persnality, just as amng peple, varies amng trees. Sme are anxius, sme bld. On the authr's land, there are three ak trees grwing clse tgether. One f the ak trees always starts t shed its leaves tw weeks earlier than the thers. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same sil and the same length f day, such variables can't be the explanatin. S what's happening? Well, this tree is simply mre careful than the thers. Whever hlds n t their leaves lnger can d mre phtsynthesis (光合作用) and stre mre nutrients. Hwever, the lnger a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk f injury.
Nt nly d trees make their wn decisins, they als learn frm their mistakes. A tree, fr example, keeping its leaves t lng during ne year will never make this mistake again. This leads t several ther cnclusins: trees must ntice the temperature and the length f the day and be able t save their experiences smewhere. Obviusly, trees dn't have brains, but it is thught that in the sensitive tips f their rts they keep track f infrmatin and experiences.
But trees aren't nly clever when it cmes t caring fr themselves. They als supprt each ther whenever there's truble by giving warnings and even taking care f sick and weak cnspecifics with nutrients. Fr example, ne time the authr fund a very ld tree stump. Its insides had rtted a lng time ag t tpsil. But the wd n the utside f the stump was still living. Hw was this pssible? Well, the stump was nurished by its neighbrs with nutrients frm the rt system, and had been fr at least 400 years!
Why d trees d such a thing? It's simple: it's better tgether. Trees need the frest; it prtects them frm strms, prvides the right micrclimate and warns them f attacks.
24. Why des the authr mentin the three ak trees?
A. T illustrate trees can learn frm experiences.
B. T shw trees can make independent decisins.
C. T explain trees are quite supprtive t each ther.
D. T prve trees have the same persnalities as humans.
25. Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing best describes general features f trees?
A. Anxius and bld. B. Smart and adventurus.
C. Helpful and well-behaved. D. Adaptable and supprtive.
26. What des the underlined phrase "d such a thing" mean?
A. Give warnings. B. Offer assistance.
C. Depend n thers. D. Prvide nutrients.
27. Where des this text mst prbably cme frm?
A. A public lecture. B. A science bk.
C. An experiment reprt. D. A travel jurnal.

Cnsumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resurces, what srts f purchases are mst likely t prduce lasting happiness and satisfactin? Recent research has cnfirmed that experiential purchases tend t prduce greater hednic (享乐的) gains than material purchases.
The reasn why experiences imprve with time may be because it is pssible t think abut experiences in a mre abstract manner than pssessins. Fr example, if yu think back t a fantastic summer frm yur yuth, yu might easily remember an abstract sense f warm sunshine and yuthful exuberant(生气勃勃), but yu’re less likely t remember exactly what yu did day-by-day.
Material pssessins are harder t think abut in an abstract sense. The car yu bught is still a car, that great new jacket yu picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It’s mre likely the experience f that summer has taken n a symblic meaning that can live lnger in yur memry than a pssessin.
Purchasing may have a negative impact n happiness because cnsumers ften buy “jyless” material pssessins, resulting in cmfrt but nt pleasure. In general, peple adapt t experiences mre slwly than t material purchase. This can be seen in bth negative and psitive purchases: hednic adaptatin wuld result in a psitive experience causing mre happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the cmparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.
Experience, hwever, seems t be mre resistant t these srts f unfavurable cmparisns. It is because f the unique nature f experience. It’s mre difficult t make an unfavurable cmparisn when there is nthing directly cmparable. After all, each f ur yuthful summers is different.
It’s well established that scial cmparisns can have a huge effect n hw we view what might seem like psitive events. One striking example is the finding that peple prefer t earn $50,000 a year while everyne else earns $25,000, instead f earning $100,000 themselves and having ther peple earn $200,000.
A similar effect is seen fr pssessins. When there are s many flat-screen HD TVs t chse frm, it’s easy t make unfavurable cmparisns between ur chice and the thers available.
28. An abstract sense in the passage refers t awareness f smething __________.
A. yu cannt think abutB. yu can’ t remember well
C. yu cannt understandD. yu cannt see r tuch
29. If yu make an experiential purchase befre a material purchase, yu may g t__________.
A. a theatre befre ging t a stre
B. an exhibitin befre ging t a park
C. a mall befre ging t a grcer’s
D. a market befre ging t a restaurant
30. The example f earnings is given t actually indicate__________.
A. hw ridiculus peple areB. hw peple feel cntent
C. hw nearsighted peple areD. hw peple hld prejudice
31. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, peple might ______.
A. enjy their wnership f what they have bught
B. pick every fault in the prducts they have gt
C. regret making a wrng decisin t buy the items
D. leave what they’ve purchased untuched at hme

Based n new analysis, we are rapidly appraching majr climate change and the effects n sciety and the envirnment culd be quite severe. Gegraphers predict that within the next eighty years, current wrld climate znes culd shift and sme culd cmpletely disappear. Plar regins will get clder while trpical regins will get even htter, frcing animals t migrate nrth.
Climate changes like these culd lead t the spread f diseases. Trpical strms and hurricanes will nt nly increase but may als becme mre intense. If the changes cme t quickly, animal and plant species may nt be able t adapt fast enugh and culd disappear.

It is urgent that we reduce the risks f these far-reaching cnsequences fr the whle wrld. The planet, itself has been shwing signs f change.

Egypt was hit in 2009 with a majr earthquake and Haiti was cmpletely destryed in 2010 by yet anther massive earthquake.
Within just the last few mnths, new reprts frm arund the wrld have been cming in and mst agree that ur climate situatin is much wrse than previusly thught. At this pint, it desn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be dne abut it. What's mre, ur wrld is getting mre and mre unstable every year. There is war and threat f war everywhere. Natural disasters are becming mre frequent and serius.
Hwever, ther planets are experiencing glbal warming as well as ur wn and sme scientists believe there may be sme cnnectin between this. N ne knws anything fr sure at this pint because there is simply nt enugh data.

A. T shw majr changes are taking place n the planet.
B. T remind peple t prevent future earthquakes.
C. T shw the damage earthquakes caused.
D. T tell us mre earthquakes will happen in the future.
34. Which f the fllwing is NOT true f the climate change's effects?
A. Animals and plant species may nt be able t adapt fast enugh and culd disappear.
B. It culd lead t the spread f diseases.
C. Current wrld climate znes culd shift and cmpletely disappear.
D. Natural disasters are becming mre frequent and serius.
35. What can be inferred frm the passage?

Tns f peple enjy listening t varius types f music while they wrk, believing that music helps imprve creativity. But an internatinal study is challenging that viewpint. (36) .
T cme t their cnclusins, researchers had participants cmplete verbal prblems designed t inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet rm. (37) They fund that backgrund music significantly hurt the participants' ability t cmplete tasks assciated with verbal creativity.
The tasks were simple wrd games. (38) Then, they were asked t find a single wrd assciated with all three that culd be cmbined t frm a cmmn phrase r wrd. Participants cmpleted the tasks in either a quiet rm, r while expsed t three different types f music; music with unfamiliar lines, instrumental music, r music with familiar lines.
Dr. McLatchie and his clleagues cnclude that music interferes with(干扰) the verbal wrking memry f the brain. (39) Als, as far as the library backgrund nises having seemingly n effect, the researchers believe that was the case because library nises create an envirnment f steady state that desn't interrupt cncentratin.
" (40) Instead, they demnstrate that music, regardless f the presence f its cntent, cnsistently interrupts creative perfrmance in insight prblem slving," the study reads.
A. And this in turn hlds back creativity.
B. It has nthing t d with the psitive reactin.
C. Then again, they were tested while music was played in the backgrund.
D. Psychlgists say that their findings indicate music actually blcks creativity.
E. Fr example, participants were given three wrds, such as dress, dial, and flwer.
F. Befre the experiment, the participants didn't study the music they wuld listen.
G. T cnclude, the findings here challenge the ppular view that music builds up creativity.
