17．Cutting trees in half can help scientists understand the past and now it appears it can be used to predict the future．Researchers have been looking at ring growth from trees to make sense of past weather patterns such as droughts and rain．
Combining data from the rings allowed them to create a copy of pictures of climate changes over the past 2，000 years and this information could also be used to foresee future famine（饥荒），unrest and conflict．The project has been named Old World Drought Atlas，or OWDA．
Its main author，Columbia biologist Edward Cook，has already carried out similar projects using trees to create chronological（按顺序排列的）maps of drought  in Asia and North-America．He believes that combining the three atlases could throw light on the global causes of drought and climate change．
The study，for instance，gave special attention to the importance of one of such causes，the North Atlantic Oscillation（涛动），in affecting climate patterns in Europe，and specifically in making Europe wetter north of the Alps and drier south of them．
The OWDA also helped analyse historical events from a climatic perspective．For instance，the 1740-174lfamine in Ireland had so far been explained by an unusually cold winter and spring，but the atlas shows that unusually low rainfall over the spring and summer of 1741 could also have played a role．Finally this made growing food nearly impossible and caused a continent-wide famine．
A better grasp of these processes could even make it possible to predict future famine，unrest and conflict．
Cook said，64The Old World Drought Atlas fills a major geographic gap in the data that's important to determine patterns of climate changes in time．That's important for understanding causes of many droughts，and it's important for climate modelers to test hypotheses（偎说）  of climate forcing and change．

32．Why is ring growth useful in research？B
A．It's the best way to understand the past．
B．It could be used to predict the future．
C．It could be used to prevent the outbreak of droughts and rain．
D．It isn't mentioned in the passage．
33．People worldwide can read chronological maps of droughtA．
A．in Asia     B．in Africa
C．in Europe    D．in South America
34．What is the author's attitude toward the study of OWDA？C
A．Positive．B．Negative．
C．Objective．D．Conservative．
35．Why did the author of the passage mention what Cook said？B
A．To show he interviewed Cook himself．

16．An egg sinks to the bottom if you drop it into a glass of ordinary drinking water
but what happens if you add salt？The results arc very interesting and can teach you some fun facts about density（密度）．
What you'll need：
*One egg*Water*Salt*A tall drinking glass
Instructions：
Pour water into the glass until it is about half full．
Mix in lots of salt （about 6 tablespoons）．
Carefully pour in plain water until the glass-is nearly full （be careful not to mix the salt water with the plain water）．
Gently lower the egg into the water and watch what happens．
What's happening？
Salt water is denser than ordinary tap water．The denser the liquid is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．When you lower the egg into the liquid it drops through the normal tap water until it reaches the salt water，at this point the water is dense enough for the egg to float．If you were careful when you added the tap water to the salt water，they will not have mixed，enabling the egg to amazingly float in the middle of the glass．

21．Which of the following is the CORRECT order？B
①Mix in lots of．salt．
②Gently lower the egg into the water．
③Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full．
④Pour water into the glass until it is about half full．
A．④②①③B．④①③②C．①④③②D．③④①②
22．What will happen if you drop an egg into a glass of water with about 6 tablespoons of salt？A
A．It will float in the water．
C．Nothing will happen．
B．It will sink to the bottom．
D．The result is not known．
23．Why can the egg float in the water according to the passage？C
A．Because ordinary tap water is denser than salt water．
B．Because ordinary tap water is as dense as salt water．
C．Because'the denser the liquid is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．
D．Because the more the liquid there is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．

Smart phones had become part of our daily life．No matter who we are，we can see people busy play with their smart phones．Smart phones are benefit to us．They help us escape the pressures of life or get information．Therefore，if we spend too much time on them，we won't have time contact face to face our friends and family．And our life，study and work will be hurt．In my view，we should limit to our using smart phones except for a purpose of learning．Meanwhile，it's absolute necessary for us to take part in more outdoor activities．

11．It doesn't matter if books are delivered in print or by smart phone，and the main thing is to get lost in reading them．
Why should we bother reading a book？All children say this occasionally．Many adults with reading difficulties repeat it to themselves daily．In a world of accelerating technology，increasing time poverty and decreasing attention lengths，should they devote precious time sinking into a good book？
The discovery is that an extraordinary book has a transformative，effect on the way we view the world．This transformation only takes place when we lose ourselves in a book，abandoning the emotional and mental chat of the real world．That's why studies have found deep reading makes us more attentive to the inner lives of others．
We know reading is the foundation stone of all education，and an essential strength of the knowledge economy．But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual development and pleasure．Books can open up emotional，imaginative and historical views that equal and extend the corridors （通道） of the web．
If reading were to decline significantly，it would change the very nature of our species．If we，in the future，are no longer wired for our own reflection and creative thought，we will be weaker．However，technology throws up solutions as many as challenges：for every door it closes，another opens．So the ability，offered by equipments like e-readers，smart phones and tablets，to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity．We should concentrate on the message，not worried about the medium．
We must also get better at controlling the ability of the internet to inform readers，and potential readers，about all the new books that are published every year，and to renew their acquaintance with the best of rich literary tradition．If we stop reading，we will be different people：less complex，less interesting．There can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book．

32．Why does deep reading make us more attentive to the inner lives of others？D
A．Because we have varieties of resources of reading．
B．Because we are in a world of accelerating technology．
C．Because it will weaken the very nature of human beings．
D．Because an extraordinary book makes our outlook brighter．
33．According to the text，the author thinksC．
A．reading on the internet is more important and convenient than books
B．we should focus on the means of gaining information rather than the content
C．with the help of the internet，people can access the best of rich literary tradition
D．the web is better at shaping emotional，imaginative and historical views than books
