8、rked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.” As soon as she recovered, Hill trave
9、led to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmen
10、tal activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment. In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutt
11、ing the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered. Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind a
12、nd cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall she survived. Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth
13、again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasnt stopped working to protect the environment. 21.

16、 a little sillier than others so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.Sleep Phones Its hard to imagine something sillier than a music-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist and are quite popular. Sleep Phones wont give
17、 you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, theyre far more comfortable than normal headphones. While theyre a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. Theres also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.Onion Goggles If cutting onion brings on the wate
18、rworks no matter what you try, its time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and awesome goggles.Lock Laces Therere some great ways to tie your shoes bet
19、ter, but if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. Theyre basically elastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you c
20、an make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing. 2D-Glasses Hate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between 2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a
21、 different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D.

25、ts and help fight climate change. Now comes the most ambitious step of the project: getting the new trees into the ground. Plantings of two dozen clones from Californias huge coastal redwoods will take place Monday in seven nations: Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Germany and
26、 the U.S. The lab-produced trees are genetic copies of three huge trees that were cut down in northern California more than a century ago. Remarkably, new branches still grow from the stumps (树桩), including one known as the Fieldbrook Stump, which measures 35 feet in diameter (直径). Its believed to b
27、e about 4,000 years old. “We need to reforest the planet. To do that, it just makes sense to use the largest, oldest trees that ever lived,” said David Milarch, co-founder of the non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive. Milarch and his sons Jared and Jake, who have a family-owned nursery, became c
28、oncerned about the condition of the worlds forests in the 1990s. They began traveling across the U.S. in search of “champion” trees that have lived hundreds or even thousands of years, believing that better genes make it possible for them to outlive others of their species. Scientific opinion varies
29、 on whether thats true, with skeptics saying the survivors may simply have been lucky. The Archangel team says theyve developed several methods of producing genetic copies. They focus on towering sequoias and redwoods, considering them best suited to absorb great amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the
30、 greenhouse gas primarily responsible for climate change. The challenge is to find places to put the trees, people to look after them and money to continue the project, Jared Milarch said. The group is funded through donations and doesnt charge for its clones. “A lot of trees will be planted by a lo
31、t of groups on Arbor Day, but 90 percent of them will die,” David Milarch said. “You cant plant trees and walk away and expect them to take care of themselves.” Those receiving Archangel redwoods have promised to care for them properly. 29. According to the text, the clones _. A. are rather expensiv
32、eB. are based on dead ancient treesC. have been experimented for 20 yearsD. have been widely grown across the U.S.30.

33、ful31. David Milarchs team believes that genetic copies from sequoias and redwoods _. A. can take in more greenhouse gasesB. are hard to survive for a long timeC. are likely to cause climate changeD. may be a threat to existing plants32. What is stressed by David Milarch in the last paragraph? A. Th
34、e need of financial support. B. The difficulty of finding places.C. The importance of caring for trees.D. The challenge of running his group.D During the Middle Ages, most things that people did not understand were explained through religion. The Catholic Church sought to silence those who tried to
35、understand and explain the world in natural terms, and banned dissection (解剖) of humans. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people of the Renaissance to use the modern scientific method. He carefully observed nature, conducted experiments, and arrived at conclusions. His research unavoidably bro
36、ught him into conflict with the Church. Leonardo spent his life studying the world around him and filled many notebooks with drawings and ideas inspired by nature. He studied human anatomy (人体解剖学) by dissecting dead bodies, made detailed notes, and drew large numbers of pictures to explain. He studi
37、ed the flight and anatomy of birds in order to design a flying machine. He was not successful, although he tried out several strange-looking machines. As a scientist, Leonardo made great contributions in the fields of anatomy, botany (植物学) and physics. Leonardo was the first person to note that the
38、number of rings of a tree was the same as its age. He was also the first person to describe the arrangement of leaves in plants and draw parts of the body in cross-section. Leonardo was also a great inventor. He did not seek simply to better understand the world. He wanted to change it through the i
39、nvention of new and useful machines. His curiosity took him in many directions. Although some of his inventions, like the extendable ladder (伸缩梯), were practical in his time, others, such as the helicopter (直升飞机), would only be useful hundreds of years later. They required new technologies. Leonardo
40、 lived hundreds of years before many of his ideas were fully put to use. He was both a man of his time and a man of the future. From flight to deep sea exploration, much in our modern world was first visualized by Leonardo.33. Leonardo dissected dead human bodies _.A. for pleasureB. for scientific r

His ideas were totally realized in his time.C. His inventions influenced later generations.D. He was the founder of modern technologies.3
42、5. We can infer from the text that Leonardo _.A. sent his helicopter into the airB. was fond of collecting notebooksC. was the first person to study the worldD. helped develop science and technology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。How smartphones could be ruining your r

45、 relationship with! 38 Why not do something together, other than sitting side by side staring at the displays on your individual phones?
