   Culture helps human societies survive in changing natural environment. For example, the end of the last Ice Age, be?ginning about 15,000 years ago, brought a big challenge to which humans had to adapt. Before this time, large parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in great sheets of ice that contained much of the earth's water. In North America, large animals that wandered the vast tundra (笞原)provided people with food and materials for clothing and simple shel?ters. When the earth became warm, large Ice Age animals disappeared, and many land areas were covered by the rising sea level from melting ice. But people survived. They devel?oped new technologies and learned how to survive on new plant and animal species. Finally some people settled into permanent villages, durable houses and farms.

Cultural adaptation has made humans one of the most successful species on the planet. Through history, major de?velopments in technology, medicine, and nutrition have al?lowed people to reproduce and survive in ever-increasing num?bers. The global population has risen from 8 million during the Ice Age to about 6 billion today.

However, the success of cultural adaptation can also cre?ate problems in the long run. Over the last 200 years, people have begun to use large quantities of natural resources and en?ergy and to produce a great amount of material and chemical wastes. The global population now consumes some important natural resources—such as petroleum, wood, and minerals― faster than nature can produce them. Many scientists believe that in the process of burning fuels and producing wastes, people may be changing the global climate in unpredictable and possibly harmful ways. Thus, the adaptive success of the present-day global culture of production and trade may be temporary.

A [2015 .福建漳州市八校高三联考] 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(氣)and carbon are shared through miles of un?derground 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 trees 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 dy?ing, 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.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 contribute to our society

D.     Trees are more complex than you think

2. In Simard's opinion, trees .

 A.     compete for survival

B.     protect their own wealth

C.     depend on each other

D.     provide support for dying trees

3. We can learn from the passage that_____________ .

A. "mother trees" are usually of no use to other trees

B.     Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard

C.     if "mother trees" are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected

D.   people know much about the complex " tree societies"
4.  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

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic. the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are seri?ous. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? ―9_

At least one group of people are certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企业家)in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile(敌意的)to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 10 Jealousy is sometimes known as the "green-eyed monster" and the UK is its home.

Scientists at Warwich University in the UK re?cently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.

11 Those given a little were given the chance to de?stroy the large amount of money given to others―but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.

12 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop?ment recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.

Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the prob?lem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become million?aires. 13 . It hardly seems worth following their ex?amples. If they were more friendly* people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.

A. This test seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.

B. The one who owns the most money in the end is the winner.

C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were "unloved, unwanted and misunderstood".

D. And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.

F. But instead of being happy they complain that no?body loves them. ,

G. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others' success.
