A
A man named Randy in Canada liked to hunt for trees. He looked for big trees and old trees in Canada. He made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. Actually he wanted people to take care of them.
Ancient trees are today rare (稀少的) everywhere in the world. On Vancouver Island in Canada, there are so many big trees. The biggest trees are about 800 years old. They are the survivors of a forest fire. The fire brought damage (损害) to the area about 350 years ago. Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger—a person whose job is to cut down trees. The loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path (小路) in the forest in order that people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and beautiful that even more and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.
There may still be a bigger tree out there. Maybe you will find it. But there are only a few old forests left in Canada. Many are still at risk of being cut down.
16. Why did Randy make maps
A. To look for more big trees. B. To show the positions of the big and old trees.
C. To cut trees down later. D. To help loggers.
17. The underlined word “survivor” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 受益者 B. 制造者 C. 控制者 D. 幸存者
18. What did the loggers want to do with Canada’s tallest tree
A. They wanted to take care of it. B. They wanted to save it.
C. They wanted to cut it down. D. They wanted to know its height.
19. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Randy is from Canada. B. The fire happened about 350 years ago.
C. Randy made a path in the forest D. Canada’s tallest tree is cut down now.
20. What happened to the forest according to the passage
A. It has disappeared. B. It became a park.
C. It was not famous anymore. D. The passage doesn’t mention it.
B
After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

Scientists have long predicted that warmer temperatures caused by climate（气候）change will have the biggest influence on the world's poorest people. New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.
A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output（经济产量），compared to a world without global（全球的）warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting（获益） from higher temperatures.
"We're not saying that global warming created inequality（不公平），"says Noah S. Diffenbaugh，the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change.But "global warming has slowed down the improvement". The poorest countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.
The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income（平均收入）in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to a world without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN's climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. "They will suffer the most, as they are already,"said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.
The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower "There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,"says Diffenbaugh What's clear is that, for poor countries,the news is all bad.
31.According to the text, warmer temperatures________.
A.are mainly caused by poor countries B. may bring advantages to rich countries
C.had no influence on the world before D.can improve the poorest people's health
32.What does"suffer"underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese
A.供应 B. 犹豫 C. 遭受 D.谋利
33.Which of the following will face great economic problems caused by climate change
A.The UN. B. The USA. C. Ireland. D.Burkina Faso.
34.What is the main idea of the text
A. Climate change will make poor countries poorer. B.We must take action to deal with climate change.
C. Climate change can cause millions of early deaths. D.People make good predictions about climate change.
35.From which is the text most probably taken
A.A geography textbook. B. A health magazine. C.A research paper. D.A storybook.
