18、e first found fighting for their lives in a muddy channel.They were extremely weak and dehydrated(脱水的)after being forced to protect themselves in the burning Texas sun.Once the puppies were 4 discovered,their journey was far from ending.They were immediately brought to what is known as a“high kill”s
19、helter,and after only a few hours,were scheduled for euthanasiaThings werent looking good for the puppies.Luckily,they were rescued once more.“Theres a group that specifically goes around to these high kill shelters and rescues the animals that are scheduled for euthanasia，”said Brandi Damewood,the
20、Community Outreach Manager of the Jefferson County Humane Society.“These guys were rescued by the Corrine TSmith Animal Centre.”The puppies would eventually end up under the care of the JCHS.This is because no-kill shelters and rescue organisations often work together to aid in urgent cases.An incre

27、ht abandoned animals in Texas C The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago.Recent NASA satellites data(20002017)have shown that human activities in China and India dominate this greening of the planet,thanks to ambitious tree-planting programmes in China and intensive agriculture(集约农业)in
28、both countries.The researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent in the new century,an area equal to all of the Amazon rainforest.China alone accounts for 25%of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6%of global vegetated area.Chinas contri
29、bution comes in large part from its programmes to conserve and expand forests,taking up about 42 percent of the greening.The greening from farmlands in China is about 32%,but that in India is about 82%.Rama Nemani,a research scientist at NASAs Ames Research Centre and a co-author of the study said,“
30、When the greening of the Earth was first observed,we thought it was due to a warmer,wetter climate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.But with data from NASA satellites,scientists realised that humans are also contributing,which was all against our expectations.”5 Nema
31、ni sees a positive message in the new findings.“Once people realise there is a problem,they tend to fix it，”he said.“In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China,the situation around vegetation loss was not good.In the 1990s,people realised it,and today things have improved.Humans are incredibly resili
32、ent.That is what we see in the satellite data.”However,the researchers rang bells as well.They said that the gain in global greenness did not necessarily make up for the loss of natural vegetation in regions like Brazil and Indonesia.28.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The decreasing size
33、 of the Amazon rainforest.B.Chinas bigger contribution to global greening.C.Total global green leaf area in the new century.D.Chinas programmes to conserve and expand forests.29.What surprised scientists regarding global greening?A.Human activities.B.The level of fertilisation.C.A warmer and wetter
34、climate.D.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.30.What does the underlined word“resilient”probably mean?A.Good at making programmes.B.Suitable for analysing data.C.Able to make corrections.D.Active in planting trees.31.What does the last paragraph imply?A.It is urgent to protect global natural resources
35、.B.Much remains to be done for global greenness.C.Brazil and Indonesia lose most of their vegetation.D.Global greenness needs all countries to work together.D It sounds almost too good to be true,but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually hel
36、p you to learn them.For the study,researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep,a stage when a person has little consciousness of their environment.To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may
37、 have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives,researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words.When the subjects woke up,they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations.The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an o
38、bject that was smaller or larger.This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory.Unbelievably,the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than rando
39、m chance.Thats not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue,but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level,even during sleep.Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was
40、 thought to relate only to the preservation and organisation of memories acquired during wakefulness.This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep.In other words,our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it,even when our conscious selves are not
41、 present.The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep.If so,it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things.Sleep learning might become a widespread practice.(选自 Mother Nature Ne
42、twork)6 32.Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?A.To guarantee the accuracy of the test result.B.To increase the difficulty of testing information.C.To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment.D.To test if our brains are good at learning something new.33.What were the subject

44、ormation goes on during sleep.C.Listening during sleep is good for our brains.D.Learning languages in sleep has better effects.35.What will be the researchers next plan?A.To train people how to learn during sleep.B.To prove the existence of unconscious memory.C.To dig out the reason for unconscious

47、your shoes are firmly in place,fill small gaps with very soft items.37 Lay out the first clothes with one end inside the suitcase and the other end dropping over the edge.Put the next clothes on top of this,but place them the other way around.38 In this way,youll get another flat layer soon.Finally,
