A study,

10、 16 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 17 age of some Amazonian tree species - more than 8 million years - and 18 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 19 for the year 2100. The authors write that, having surviv

11、ed warm periods in the past, the trees will 20 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. 21 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures 22 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors 23 that as well as

12、 reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 24 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining. The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species extinctions 25 relatively small increases in gl

13、obal average air temperatures. Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 26 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 27 to the Amazons future. Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future.

14、 while tree species seem likely to 28 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 29 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads. “Species will not move as freely in todays Amazon as they did in pre

15、vious warm periods, when there was no human 30 . Similarly, todays climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 31 .” “With a clearer 32 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 33 that direct human impacts - such as forest clearances for agriculture or

16、mining - should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 34 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 35 the future of most Amazon tree species.”16.

20、（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWe observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears (ancestors) prescribed nearly a century and three-q

21、uarters ago.The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come

22、 not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this ce

23、ntury, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or perm

24、it the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppos

25、e any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it.

26、 I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans ask

27、not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high sta

28、ndards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth Gods work must truly be our own.36. What should fri

29、ends and foes know?A. That the United States is powerful.B. That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.C. That the United States is governed by liberals.D.

32、BWhats the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China! India! Brazil! How about trade!When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit (赤字) in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying（末日说）. Imp

33、orts, which increasedto $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.But theres another way of looking at the trade

34、data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States but an economic expansion.The rising volume of trade more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United S

35、tates is good news for many sectors. Companies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbers shows growing vitality in foreign markets when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of peo

36、ple around the world, and U.S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the

37、 price agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GMs

38、balance sheet and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable.One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. Thats to be expected, given what weve been through. But theres a bigger ch

39、allenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but its no longer enough simply to do business with our frien

40、ds and neighbors here at home.Companies and individuals who dont have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lions share of economic opportunity in our world.40. How do pessimists interpret the U.S.

41、 trade deficit in June?A. It reflects Americans preference for imported goods.B. It signifies a change in American economic structure.C.

45、uth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the programs founder, said; We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and

46、 broaden their outlook.We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, weve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kin

47、d of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. I

48、n October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their v

49、iews on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. Before we left I didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got the

50、re we didnt stop, it was amazing, he said, We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.

54、 Pupil to ParisD.Debates Help Youth with Their GradesDIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only wh

55、en I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen - teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students have a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were al

56、so frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then

57、 there was my sixth-grade class - seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wa

58、nted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reason

59、able, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhib

60、ited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasnt happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questi
