18、.C. Payment of full tuition.D. Application for admission into a program.BOne of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul youve grown fond of. Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. The springs nonstop rains flooded s
19、oils and caused root systems of many large, old trees to rot in part. Then, when the summer came, trees could not tap deep sources of water that would normally have maintained them. Many valuable old trees died.When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many people concern
20、ed about their trees. We had little to offer them. Thats because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees. No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree he
21、alth. Small and under-resourced cities such as ours were on their own.This is backward, Scientists are learning that large, old trees are the most valuable, especially in cities,. They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife. They can lower summer t
22、emperatures by 20 degrees or more. In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. Theres the reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, too.Now, our public and private tree programs often ignore
23、 old trees until it is too late. As long as we abandon our old trees, planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to help protect us, but we leave them unprotected. Consider this in the human world; Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it, Ch
24、ildren need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance programs, We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them.24. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 suggest?A. Strong determination to plant trees. B. Real regret at growing old tre
25、es.C. Great concern about tree problems. D. Deep love for valuable old trees.25. Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees? A.

The author argues in paragraph 3 by_.A. comparing different cases_210B. presenting research findingsC. referring to scientists sayingsD. carrying out some experiments27.
27、Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end? A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.B. To show the close connection between trees and babies.C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.CTi
28、me and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum(钟摆) and is not psychological time,which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, When you sit with
29、a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and ap
30、pointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before, Surrounded by unfamiliar
31、scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads(小珠子) on a string,they mix together,a
32、nd even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-to stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days
33、of learning and discovery. For many of us learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.28. What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?A. Psychological time is quite puzzling.B. Time should not be measured by a pendulum.C. Physical time is different from psychologic
34、al time.D. Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.29. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older? A. Our sense of time changes B. We spend less time at the beach.C. More time is structured and scheduledD. Time is structured with too many appointments.30. What doesnovelty
35、in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Excitement B. unfamiliarity. C. Imagination. D.Amusement.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To give various explanations about time.B. To describe how we experience time physically.C. To show the differences of two kinds of time.D. To explain why time flies and
36、 how to slow it down.DHardware in general, and smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South s landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).Electronic waste(e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own mo
37、re than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their
38、health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The E-waste industry, however, circumvents the r
39、egulations by exporting e-waste labelled as “secondhand goodsto poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury(水银
40、), lead and even arsenic (砷 ) Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level thats about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA), Most worryingly, these p
41、oisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system.This should concern us all, since some of Ghanas top exports are cocoa and nuts.Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustaina
42、ble recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers
43、 can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.32. What can we infer from paragraph2?A. Electronic products need improving urgently
44、.B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C. Electronic waste requires more landfill sites across Ghana.D.Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.33. What does the underlined wordcircumvents in paragraph 3 mean?A. Tightens B. AbolishesC.Avoids D.Follows34. What sho
45、uld be the biggest concern according to the text?A. The violation of EFSAs standardB. The lack of diversity in Ghana s exports.C. The damage to chickens immune systemD.The threat of polluted food around the world35. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem? A. Manufactu
46、rers developing a sustainable hardware economy.B. Governments adjusting their green policies about e-waste.C. Reducing customers demands for electronic products.D.Letting governments take on the main responsibility.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you are thinking abo
47、ut asking for a raise in salary, there are several things to keep in mind. First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary. 36 Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked on, things you have done to
48、 improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. 37 Bear in mind t
49、hat salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience. 38 Your initi
50、al request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want.39 If you have recently been given new responsibilities, it makes sense to ask fo
51、r a higher level of compensation. On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position. Finally, never give personal reaso
52、ns for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your childs college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. 40 That is where you need to keep the conversation.A. This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for.B. Skills play a key role in your
53、 salary level.C. A crucial point is the timing of your request.D. Everyone is eager for a raise in salary.E. You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss.F. Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone.G. Then you will be better prepared when
