kangaroothe baby koala lives in its mothers pocket for the first six months of its lifethe name “koala” comes from a native australian word that means “no drink”. the koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eatthats where they get their food tookoalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus treesthe eucalyptus trees are where the koalas liveits also where they sleepkoalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!why do they sleep so much? some people think its because theyre lazybut koalas arent lazythey sleep so much because there isnt much

most skills. it improves with practice. if you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. you must first go where there are people. you wont make friends staying home alone. joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. or join someone in some activity. many people are nervous when talking to new people. after all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. and its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. we imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. but dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. youll both feel more comfortable. try to act self-confident even if you dont feel that way. when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile. if you see someone youd like to speak to, say something. dont wait for the other person to start a conversation. just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that personfriendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. it takes time and effort to develop.29. the best topic of the passage may be _.a. friendship b. making friends c. meeting new people d. facing the unknown30. which of the following statements is not true?a. making friends needs practicing.b. making friends needs to be more active in getting in touch with people.c. when meeting someone, make him feel nice and easy.d. before making friends with someone, judge him if hes too this or too that.31. the development of friendship needs _.a. a lot of moneyb. lots of conversationc. time and effortd. carefully judgingd plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains (链条) and ecosystems.（生态系统） global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say. increased carbon dioxide (co2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen (氧气), while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth. “predicting species reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researches of several u.s. universities. they said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services. the study, published on the nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. it found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing（长出叶子） by 4 times. “across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance for both leafing and flowering that results from temperature increases,” the study said. the design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. plants are necessary for life on the earth. they are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. they let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet. scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0.8 since 1900, and nearly 0.2 every ten years since 1979. so far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the earth heating up beyond（超出） 2 this century a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.32. what is the key information the author wants to give in paragraph 1? a. plants reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems. b. the increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists expectation. c. climate change leads to the change of food production patterns. d. food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.33. we can learn from the study published on the nature website that _. a. plants flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing b. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents c. scientists should improve the design of the experiments d. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change34. scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because _. a. they can prove the climate change clearly b. they are very important in the food chainsa c. they play a leading role in reducing global warming d. they are growing and flowering much faster than before35. what can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the worlds temperature? a. it has risen nearly 0.2 since 1979. b. its change will lead to weather extremes. c. it is 0.8 higher in 1979 than that of 1900. d. it needs to be controlled within 2 in this century.第二节（共5小题，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。“why is life worth living?” if you ask this question, you will get different answer. _36_ . but we have put together a few reasons from
