10.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 co-operation 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 a 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.
25.What would be the best title for the passage?C
A.Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B.Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C.Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

A.depend on each other

D.provide support for dying trees
27.We can learn from the passage thatD
A."mother trees"are usually of no use to other trees.
B.Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.
C.people know much about the complex"tree societies".
D.if"mother trees"are cut down,the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

A.how trees grow old        B.how"tree societies"work

4.People know that outdoor air pollution can damage their health,but many don't realize that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects.Studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2~5 times,and(36)Cmore than 100 times,higher than outdoor levels.These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular(37)Abecause most people(38)Cabout 90%of their time indoors.

   Certain immediate effects are(42)Bto those from colds or other diseases,so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a(n)(43)Dof exposure to indoor air pollution.For this reason,it is important to(44)Cattention to the time and place the (45)Coccur.If the symptoms(46)Bor go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns,(47)Dshould be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes.Some effects may be made worse (48)Aan inadequate supply of outdoor air or from the heating,cooling,or humidity conditions in the home.
   Other health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after(49)C repeated periods of exposure.These effects,which include some respiratory(呼吸的) diseases,can be(50)Bfatal.It is better to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home(51)A symptoms are not noticeable.
 While pollutants commonly(52)Ain indoor air are responsible for many harmful effects,there is considerable uncertainty about what periods of exposure are necessary to produce specific health problems.People also react very (53)Cto exposure to indoor air pollutants.(54)B,further research is needed to better(55)Dthe effects of indoor air pollution to find efficient ways to protect our health.
