Urban ( 城市的 ) heat kills about 600 Americans every year, andsends another 65,000 to the emergency room, according to a recentreport from the Urban Land Institute. Climate change is going tomake these problems worse, the report’s authors write.
Given that risk, Boston — like many cities around the country —plans to plant more trees. Urban trees have benefits beyond shadingand cooling. They clean the air, reduce noise pollution and helpprevent flooding by absorbing storm water.“Great,” you might be thinking, “let’s plant many trees.”
Unfortunately, the solution isn’t that simple; a lot of street trees don’tmake it more than a few years in the big city. “It’s tough to be a babystreet tree because their roots are really little. And the summers inBoston are quite hot, so drought alone can kill them,” says AndrewTrlica, who recently earned an urban biogeochemistry doctorate fromBoston University.
An urban tree, especially one planted on a sidewalk bordering abusy street, has many factors against it. “Cars run into them. Bikesgetting locked to them is really surprisingly damaging when they’relittle because their bark (树皮) is weak,” Trlica explains. “Road saltsare hard on their roots. Dogs would pee on them. It’s just a toughenvironment.”
Trlica says he began to wonder: If city officials want to increasetree canopy (树冠) cover to deal with climate change, should theyfocus on planting new trees or helping older ones survive To figureit out, he looked at two conditions for Boston: spend the next twodecades planting saplings (树苗) in every available sidewalk location,or spend the time reducing the mortality rate of older trees by 50%.
For Trlica, the answer was clear. Yes, Boston should continueplanting trees, but the real canopy payoff will come from preservingbigger, leafier ones.
24. Why does the author mention the recent report from the UrbanLand Institute
A. To show urban heat in America is serious.
B. To show Americans care about urban heat.
C. To prove climate change leads to urban heat.
D. To prove urban heat can be deadly worldwide.
25. What can we learn from Andrew Trlica’s words in Paragraphs 3and 4
A. Baby trees shouldn’t be planted on streets.
B. It is difficult for baby street trees to survive.
C. Planting trees in cities isn’t a good idea.
D. More trees should be planted in Boston.
26. What does the underlined word “mortality” in Paragraph 5probably mean
A. Success. B. Growth. C. Recovery. D. Death.
27. In which section of a newspaper might this text appear
A. Environment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.
C
Diet Coke，diet Pepsi，diet pills，no fat diet，vegetable diet....We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically．
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level，we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight，but in controlling the consumption of fatty，high calorie，unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level，diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero calorie drink，we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain，and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us，but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consumingthem instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients．Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional，and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us，it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds，not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this，we will be much better able to resist diet products，and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
28．From Paragraph 1，we learn that________.
A．diet products fail to bring out people's potential
B．people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C．diet products are misleading people
D．people are fed up with diet products
29．One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to________.
A．try out a variety of diet foods
B．hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C．pay attention to their own eating habits
D．watch their weight rather than their diet
30．In Paragraph 3，“gain comes without pain” probably means________.
A．losing weight is effortless B．it costs a lot to lose weight
C．diet products bring no pain D．diet products are free from calories
31．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products________.
A．are over consumed B．lack basic nutrients
C．are short of chemicals D．provide too much energy
D
Overweight people produce more greenhouse gases, researchers say. Therefore, watching your weight does more than protect your health. It also may help fight climate change.
Researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine say that because food production is a major source of greenhouse gases, a population with normal weight, such as in Vietnam, consumes about 20 percent less food and produces fewer greenhouse gases than a population in which 40 percent of people are too heavy and fat，a rate close to that of the United States.
Also, less energy is required to transport slim people. say Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts, the lead researchers of the study.
They found that a physically fit population of a billion people would give off 1,000 million tons less transportation related wastes a year than an overweight population would give off. “When it comes to food consumption (消耗)，moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a car that burns a lot of gas，” the researchers said. “The heavier our bodies become，the harder and more unpleasant it is to move about in them，and the more dependent we become on our cars. Staying slim is good for health and for the environment.”
“We need to do a lot more to stop the global trend toward fatness and recognize it as a key factor in the battle to reduce greenhouse gases and control climate change, ” they said.
However, they noted that the trend is in the opposite direction. The number of overweight people is increasing in nearly every country. The male who were overweight in England，for example，increased from 20 percent to 27.3 percent between 1999 and 2009，while the female increased from 25.8 percent to 29.6 percent.
32．According to Phil Edwards，slim people________.
A．produce no transportation related wastes
B．care more about environment protection
C．contribute to green transportation
D．use green transportation
33．The researchers believe that people without weight problems ________.
A．seldom depend on cars
B．often drive around in energy saving cars
C．exercise more
D．realize the importance of reducing greenhouse gases
34．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．more greenhouse gases are being produced by overweight people
B．the global trend toward fatness has been effectively controlled
C．the overweight population in England increases fastest
D．women are more likely to get overweight than men
35．What would be the best title of the passage
A．Controlling population growth is good for climate change.
B．Staying slim is good for public transportation.
C．Staying slim helps reduce food consumption.
D．Staying slim is good for the environment.
