lane hotelbnature responds to climate change. to understand it, we need to monitor key life cycle events flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring all around the world. but scientists cant be everywhere so theyre turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.a group of scientists and educators set up an organization last year called the national phenology network. “phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.one of the groups first efforts depends on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. the program, called project budburst, collects life cycle data on different kinds of usual plants from across the united states. “people dont have to be plant experts they just have to look around and see whats in their neighborhood,” says jennifer schwartz, an adviser with the project. “as we collect this data, well be able to predict how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”that data will help scientists predict not only how natural communities may change but also how these changes will affect people. scientists monitoring lilac flowering in the western united states reported that in years when lilacs bloomed early before may 20th wildfires later in the summer and fall are larger and more severe. lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell, jennifer says.improved monitoring is an important step toward predicting how natural communities will respond to climate change.“the best way for us to increase our knowledge of how plants and animals are responding to climate change is to increase the amount of data we have,” he says. “thats why we need citizen scientists to get as much information from as many places on as many species over as long a time period as we can.”49. the national phenology network is set up to _.a. research how nature makes response to climate changeb. keep a record of what is happening in naturec. make a study of the first frog calls of the springd. judge what plants will die out in the future50. the task of project budburst is to _.a. grow more plants to improve the climateb. collect information about usual plantsc. make citizens tell different plantsd. find out how many kinds of plants there are in america51. by saying “lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell” in para 6, jennifer meant _.a. lilac flowers could make people feel anxious or afraidb. lilacs could warn people of the danger of wildlifec. the blooming of lilacs could

even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. mollys mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg.a few years ago, molly, a pony, was badly attacked by a dog. the dog bit all four of mollys legs and left large cuts in her face. mollys owner, kaye harris, took her to an animal hospital. doctors there were able to save mollys life, but soon one of her legs became very infected (感染). at first, doctors thought molly would have to be put to sleep. but molly changed their minds. this pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. doctors knew that molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.several doctors operated on molly, and removed her infected leg. a false leg was made for her. the leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. doctors gave molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. this horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!after the operation, molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. but she leaves her mark in other ways, too.kaye harris took molly to the false leg center. there were children there who, like molly, had artificial arms or legs. they were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. molly made them smile and gave them

bank of america, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets. it found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.the majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. one in three parents said they had never thought to do it. they are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers. only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance (遗产) they plan to leave them. “there is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said sallie krawcheck, president of the bank of america global wealth and investment management. “our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”the trend is lead by the worlds richest man bill gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the bill and melinda gates foundation (基金会), and not to his children. “we want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.of his plans for his children, gates said: “i will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”57.we can learn from the passage that _.a. rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritanceb. rich parents dont equal rich kids, at least in the us c. american children dont get to inherit their parents wealthd. poor children dont expect themselves to be as rich as their parents58.according to the survey, most rich americans _. a. think they owe their children nothing b. think it best to give their money back to societyc. doubt their childrens ability to handle wealthd. are confident of their childrens ability to handle wealth59.the underlined word “they” in paragraph 7 refers to _.a. responsible childrenb. bill gates and his wifec. first-generation richd. rich parents60.what is the example of bill gates used to show? a. the trend of leaving no inheritance to children.b. the positive impact of charity on society.c. the way of giving back to society.d. the importance of independence for children.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框af选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。a. beware of bedbugsb. read before you reservec. wash the water glassesd. pack antibacterial wipese. lose the
