CClimate change will increase US wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council(NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.“It affects a much wide area of the United States than people have realized.” says author Kim Knowlton, a Columbia University health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of diseases.Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDCs report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders, came second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people in touch with smoky air were, in descending order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011,but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people in touch with at least a week of smoke that year, although five of themAlaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utahhad a large area burned by wildfires.The problem will only get worse, Knowlton says. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.28.

Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders in 2011? A. Iowa. B. Kansas. C. Ohio. D. California.30. The underlined word “descending” in the fourth paragraph probably means _.

More wildfires cause climate changes. D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.DUnlike most other holidays, the history of April Fools Day, sometimes called All Fools Day, is not totally clear. The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582, in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25.The celebration reached the highest point on April 1.With the reform of the calendar under Charles 1X, the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历）was introduced, and New Years Day was moved to January 1.However, because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today, many people did not receive the news for several years. Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1.These backward people were considered “fools” by other people. They were often sent on “fools” errands（徒劳无益的工作）or were made the targets of jokes.This developed, over time, into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun feast, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.32.

It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. 36 .Sometimes, the word green means young，fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. 37 A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.

The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. 38 The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs. 39 The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello.In most places in the world, a green light is a sign to move ahead. 40 In everyday speech, agreen lightmeans approval to continue with a project.
