few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. dave murbach needs 11 months.almost every day of every year, murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive manhattans rockefeller center each christmas season. “im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “i look for it even when i go to the beach in the summer. its like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” and if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,” he says. this years tree, a 74-foot nomy spruce (云杉) from richfield, ohio, flown to new york on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on december 2. the arrival of the tree leads in the christmas season in new york a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building rockefeller center put up a small tree with decoration. the search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. murbach has three standards: the tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves thick enough not to see through. thats not as simple as it sounds. though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. and branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “mr. christmas tree man.”though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. thats what i hope it sets off.” but murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate christmas.51. which is the correct order of the events in the passage? a. murbachs thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree. b. 2.5 million people watch the christmas tree. c. the tree is flown to new york. d. it was lighted on december 2. e. the tree is chopped up. f. murbach searches for the tree. a. a, b, c, d, e, f b. c, d, b, f, e, ac. c, d, e, b, a, f d. a, f, c, d, b, e52. murbach spends a lot of time that are exhibited in manhattans rockefeller center each christmas season.a. taking care of christmas trees b. deciding on the perfect evergreensc. sorting the letters from people d. deciding the tv programs53why does murbach take his job seriously?a. because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice. b. because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.c. because he enjoys showing off. d. because he wishes to attract peoples attention to himself.54according to murbach s standard of trees, the best tree must_ .a. be evergreenb. have lots of space between their branchesc. be tall enough not to see through d. be equally balanced55what kind of person do you think murbach is?a. a person always ignoring his family.b. a person full of love.c. a person devoted to his work.d. a person with great anxiety. csome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninetyfive would have the same effect. some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales. a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected. many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists dont think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 56according to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?a. the sound of cars.b. the sound of voices.c. man-made noise pollution.d. the sound of steps.57according to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following except_.a. sounds made by animals themselves b. ocean drillingc. underwater earthquakesd. the breaking of ice fields58which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?a. the same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.b. different places may have different types of noises.c. the decibel is not a right unit (单位) for measuring underwater noise.d. different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.59which of the following is true of whales?a. they wont be confused by noises.b. they are deaf to noises.c. their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.d. their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.60according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?a. they will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.b. they will protect animals from harmful noises.c. they will try to set a limit of 120 decibels. d. they will study the effect of ocean noise pollution. dimagine living in a city made of glass. no, this isnt a fairy tale. if you could grab your diving gear and swim down 650 feet into the pacific ocean off the coast of washington state, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.the reef youd be looking at is made up of glass sponges(海绵). but how can animals be made of glass? well, glass is formed from a substance called silica. the sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give them shape and support. be careful! some of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.when sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. over centuries, a massive and complex reef takes shape. some sponges look like wrinkled trumpets, while others look like overgrown cauliflower or mushrooms.dr. paul johnson, who discovered the washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of methane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. the methane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.“its a new ecosystem we know nothing about,” said dr. johnson.the reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrimp, starfish, worms, snails, and rockfish. the glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of many of these creatures and was called a
