题目内容

Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books－especially paperbacks，which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever?increasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy “proper”books，too，printed on good paper and bound(装订)between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book?selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found，from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock，or will obtain，any kind of books，but many of them specialize in second?hand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on philosophy，politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books，Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap second?hand books，the collector must venture off the beaten track，to Farringdon Road，for example，in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors，some professionals and some amateurs，have been waiting for them.In places like this they can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.

1.“Londoners are great readers.”means that ．

A. Londoners are great because they read a lot

B. there are a great number of readers in London

C. Londoners are readers who read only great books

D. Londoners read a lot

2.According to this passage，Charring Cross Road ．

A. is in the suburbs of London

B. is famous for its bookshops

3.In this passage，what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track”mean?

A. Buy books in a most busy street.

B. Move away from a busy street.

C. Waste time looking for books.

D. Take a risk of losing one's life.

4.On Farringdon Road，．

It was on a warm autumn day that my father and I walk into my new high school. After visited the classroom, the volunteer took us to the dormitory. Altogether I had five roommates, two of which arrived later. I got to know my new roommate immediately. Although I was quite unwilling to say “goodbye” to my father, but he had to leave to my hometown by train in the evening. It sudden hit me that I had grown up and I had to look after me and live independently. Only then I realize my senior high school life had really begun.

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all. Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest “We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

1.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________.

A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth

C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees

2.“Mother trees” are extremely important because they ________.

A. look the largest in size in the forest

B. pass on nutrition to young trees

C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans

D. know more about the complex “tree societies”

3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. how “tree societies” work B. how trees grow old

C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Are More Awesome Thart You Think

D. Trees Contribute To Our Society
