that grow in the desert. but other trees may need more moisture (水分)than they can get from rainfall or from the air .trees and other plants can look thirsty. leaves can become weak and hang downward. they can also turn yellow. yellowing can be a sign of too much water. but it can also be a warning sign of too little water.with a newly planted tree, the roots have not yet spread out from the root ball. the root ball can become dry faster than the dirt around it. so put water on the area of the root ball and the surrounding soil until the roots become established.once a tree is well established, water deeply instead of watering often. the amount of water needed depends on the tree and the soil. clay soils hold water for longer periods while sandy soil holds less water. during the hottest season, a deep watering may satisfy a tree for anywhere from ten days to four weeks.ted swiecki is a plant scientist . he says people should not water established trees at the base of the trunk. this can harm the tree. too much water in the soil at the base of a tree can lead to the growth of fungi（菌类）. if the area is too wet, harmful organisms have a better chance to invade the tree and cause disease.mr. swiecki says this is true especially in mediterranean and semi-dry climates. many trees in these climates have adapted to having a dry area near their base during the hottest season. he said, water displaces (取代，排出)air in the soil. and roots are aerobic（需氧的）; they require oxygen for the soil to function properly. so if you keep the soil completely wet and theres no air there, then the roots are starving for oxygen.21.what is the passage mainly about?a. it introduces to us different kinds of trees b. it instructs us how to water trees correctlyc. it teaches us how to tell whether a tree needs waterd. it analyses why different trees need different amounts of water22.what does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to ?a. water displaces air in the soil b. many trees have got used to dry soilc. organisms can invade the soil that is too wet d. water established trees at the base of trunks23.as to a well-established tree, .a. watering deeply matters more than watering oftenb. we should water them as often as possiblec. its roots have not spread out from the root ball yet d. a deep watering satisfies it for at most ten days in cold weather24.which of the following situations requires the most watering?a. newly planted trees in sandy soil b. newly planted trees in clay soilc. well-established trees in clay soil d. well-established trees in sandy soilb the time children spend outdoors could be linked to a reduced risk of being short-sighted, research suggests. an analysis of eight previous studies by university of cambridge researchers found that for each additional hour spent outside per week, the risk of short-sightedness was reduced by 2%.they said exposure to natural light and time spent looking at distant objects could be key factors. the studies involved more than 10,000 children and adolescents. dr justin sherwin and his research team concluded that short-sighted children spent an average of 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than those who either had normal vision or were far-sighted. but they said the reasons were not yet clear. they expected to find that children who spent more time outdoors also spent less time doing activities like reading, studying or playing computer games, but no such link was found in two of the eight studies which looked at this relationship. however, dr sherwin said they would now need more precise data to try to understand which factors, such as increased use of distance vision, reduced use of near vision, natural ultraviolet(紫外线的) light exposure and physical activity, are most important. “any increase in time spent outdoors must be weighed against exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts(白内障)and other cancers.” he said.on the other hand, increasing outdoor physical activity could protect against diabetes and obesity, for example. short-sightedness is a common eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurred(模糊不清的), while close objects can be seen clearly. it is much more common today in the uk and the united states than it was just 30 to 40 years ago. approximately 1-2% of five-year-olds to seven-year-olds in the uk have short-sightedness. about five million british people are short-sighted and some 200,000 of them will be seriously short-sighted. in some parts of asia, more than 80% of the population suffers from short-sightedness.25. the passage mainly tells us .a. short-sightedness and its effects b. some factors that affect ones eyesight c. more and more children become short-sighted d. less time spent outdoors may mean more short-sightedness26. according to the passage, short-sightedness may have something to do with the following except .a. obesity b. exposure to natural light c. looking at distant objects d. time spent outdoors27. which of the following is true?a. students who spent more time outdoors read less b. only one factor contributes to short-sightednessc. the increase in time spent outdoors means more exposure to ultraviolet radiationd. the less time children spent outdoors, the more short-sighted they are28.the last paragraph is mainly developed by .a. giving definitions(下定义) b. showing figures（列数字） c. presenting arguments（呈论据） d. making comparisons（作比较） cif you want to get rich, leave new york city, washington d.c. or los angeles and head to plano, texas；aurora, colorado or omaha, nebraska, where wages are high and life is good, a new survey showed.a poll(民意测验)that ranked 69 us cities with populations of more than
