team of eu scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. its the second report this week warning of the on-going risks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world.emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排气), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. the reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: it can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix of species. but primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow. in effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.the effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. they harm more delicate species like mosses(苔藓), and insect-eating sundew plants.the report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. the reports lead author, dr kevin hicks from the university of yorks stockholm environment institute (sei), told bbc news that englands peak district had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.“nitrogen creates a rather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention,” he said. “governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.” he said more research was needed to understand the knock-on effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms. at the conference, the representatives agreed “the edinburgh declaration on reactive nitrogen”. the document highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.5. the underlined word “menace” is used to express that the reactive nitrogen, largely produced by human activity can be _.a. frighteningb. threateningc. uniqued. unusual6. we can infer from the passage that _.a. its harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmosphereb. reactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than cropsc. the harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversityd. reactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity7. the team of eu scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when _.a. no action was taken to stop nitrogen emissionb. governments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogen c. “the edinburgh declaration on reactive nitrogen” was agreedd. nitrogen emissions were threatening wildlife sites biodiversity8. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. keeping away from nitrogen emissionsb. stopping nitrogen emissionsc. air pollution damaging europes wildlifed. saving europes wildlife【参考答案】5、b 68、cdc 阅读理解-cthe 2010 eustace tilley contestthis marks our third annual contest soliciting(征求) readers opinions on eustace

its very good for your body. it is one of mother natures most precious gifts to cooks of all levels. choose garlic heads that are firm to the touch, with no scars or soft cloves (蒜瓣). if you notice dark, powdery patches under the skin, pass it up because this is an indication of a common mold which will eventually spoil the flesh. store unpeeled heads of garlic in an open container in a cool, dry place away from other foods. do not refrigerate or freeze unpeeled garlic. properly stored garlic can keep up to three months. as garlic ages, it will begin to produce green sprouts in the center of each clove. these infant green sprouts can be bitter, so throw them before using the garlic for your recipe. however, if you plant the cloves and let them grow to a height of about six inches, you can use the sprouts like chives (韭黄) in salads and such. garlic can also be purchased as peeled whole cloves, both stored in olive or vegetable oil. it is urgent that garlic in oil be stored under refrigeration to avoid potentially-deadly bacteria growth. if you use a lot of garlic and wish to cut your preparation time down, you can pre-peel and store your own in oil in the refrigerator, but the best flavor will come from freshly-peeled cloves. use garlic powder, garlic salt, and garlic juice only as a last resort. to peel a garlic clove, place it on a cutting board on its side, and gently press down quickly with the flat side of a butcher knife. the skin should then easily peel off. if you find the skin clinging desperately to the clove, congratulations! you have fresh garlic. as garlic ages, the skin is gradually dried-up, making it easier to peel. 1. the passage is mainly about. a. how to select, store and peel garlic b. what garlic tastes and smellsc. where to keep the garlic d. when to reap the garlic2. a dark patch under the skin of garlic means. a. the cloves of garlic are soft b. the garlic has been kept for longc. something wrong with the garlic d. the garlic has been cooked3. the underlined word “sprouts” means. a. new parts growing on a plant b. newly seeds growing on a plant c. parts belonging to a branching shape d. thin skin attached to garlic4. if you want to store garlic, . a. you can keep it in the refrigerator up to three monthsb. youd better keep the peeled in the refrigeratorc. you may keep frozen unpeeled garlicd. you can put garlic in vegetable oil5. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the sprouts of garlic tastes like chives. b. garlic juice is better than the freshly-peeled. c. a cutting board is helpful for peeling garlic. d. olive oil is needed when cooking garlic. 【参考答案】15、acabc 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 stress caused by social situations, such as giving a speech or going to a job interview, can affect some peoples immune system in ways that harm their health, researchers have found. the study included 124 volunteers who were purposely put into embarrassed social situations. those who showed greater neural (神经) sensitivity to social rejection also had greater increases in inflammatory (炎症) activity when exposed to social stress. “it turns out there are important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations,” lead author george slavich, at the cousins center for psychoneuroimmunology at the university of california, los angeles, said in a ucla news release. “for example,” he explained, “we sometimes see giving a speech in front of an audience as a welcomed challenge; other times, its threatening and sad. in this study, we sought to examine the neural bases for these differences in response and to understand how these differences relate to biological processes that can affect human health and well-being.”the findings provide “further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected. we have known for a long time that social stress can get under the skin to increase risk for disease, but its been unclear exactly how these effects occur. as we know, this study is the first to identify the neurocognitive (神经认知) pathways that migh
