11．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO2.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
"Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
"It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
（1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？
A．More trees should be planted in no time.
B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
D．Different trees can absorb CO2 differently.
（2）What can we say about McDowell's research？
A．Timely and long-standing.
B．All-sided and careful.
C．Time-limited and regional.
D．Traditional and extensive.
（3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？
A．Worried.
B．Optimistic.
C．Supportive.
D．Indifferent.
（4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To call on people to plant more trees.
B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6

13．Close to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard scans an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture.In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow.Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of slid stone is a room filled with humanity's most precious treasure，the largest and most diverse seed collection---more than a half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way.With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties.This is a seed collection，but more importantly，it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault.In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems，enveloped in below-zero temperatures，and surrounded by tons of rock，hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress.Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain，seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years，or longer.Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea，and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it.But back in 2004，when the Seed Vault was proposed，it was viewed a crazy，impractical，and expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee.But we were tired，fed up，and frankly scared of the steady，greater losses of crop diversity.The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change.If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost，this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be.
（1）What is the Seed Vault according to the passage？
A．It's a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.
B．It's a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops.
C．It's a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture.
D．It's a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops.
（2）What does the underlined word "viable" in Paragraph 3 probably means？
A．Mature.
B．Alive.
C．Clean.
D．Valuable.
（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？
A．How the seeds are preserved.
B．Where people keep the seeds.
C．Why the seeds are protected.
D．What people do to study the seeds.
（4）We can know from the passage that.
A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change.
B．most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties.
C．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity.
D．many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -

In 1666，Sir Isaac Newton，observed light entering a prism （三棱鏡），and from this experience he made a brilliant discovery about light and colour；that white light is made up of a spectrum of several colours.He was （1）with light，and believed that it had a close relationship to the concept that the early modern scientist knew as 'the vegetable spirit'，which was an idea that Newton coined.
Newton was （2）awed （敬畏） by the beauty and complexity of nature.Over time，he concluded that the massive variety of life and processes that occur in nature，such as growth and （3），meant there must be some （4）force making it all happen.He believed that the 'vegetable spirit' was that （5），and he thought it might be linked with the power of light.
To those only familiar with Newton's discoveries in （6）and physics，the idea of the 'vegetable spirit' might seem （7），and even pseudo-scientific.However，this idea was closely （8）with a subject that he is not very often known for studying，and yet spent a great amount of his time devoted to：alchemy.In his lifetime，Newton wrote around one million words on alchemy （煉金術），which shows how committed he was to the （9）.Through his research into alchemy，Newton hoped to （10）the secret of the 'Vegetable spirit'，or the spirit of life.
Newton was not the first person to turn to alchemy in order to find what he was looking for，and was in fact one of the last in a long line of alchemists who sought to use the art for the purpose of discovering the universe's remarkable secrets.
The （11）of alchemy can be traced back 2，000 years before Newton to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.In fact，the word 'alchemy' may be derived from Khem，which was an Ancient Greek （12）for Egypt.Even though alchemical tradition often states that the （13）father of the practice was Hermes Trismegistus，it is very difficult to （14）the root of alchemy to one persjye.ai.On the other hand，it is much more likely that the first proto-alchemists were Egyptian metalworkers，who would have worked with several different types of metal.It was gold that had the most （15），therefore many focused their attention on this precious metal.Dyers and medicine-makers were also linked to early alchemy.（1） A．satisfied B．experienced C．attracted D．fascinated （2） A．constantly B．casually C．hardly D．seemingly （3） A．development B．disappearance C．death D．peace （4） A．struggling B．driving C．leading D．pulling （5） A．nature B．spirit C．force D．power （6） A．mathematics B．science C．spirit D．nature （7） A．uncomfortable B．strange C．reasonable D．objective （8） A．relevant B．stuck C．dealt D．associated （9） A．problem B．practice C．mystery D．career （10） A．complete B．hide C．uncover D．restore （11） A．secrets B．discoverers C．origins D．traditions （12） A．expert B．custom C．term D．subject （13） A．basic B．biological C．imaginary D．founding （14） A．tie B．show C．stick D．involve （15） A．popularity B．value C．amount D．usages 組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5

19．閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood.Our house is neither large nor luxurious，but it has a fairly big garden.My father loves his garden.He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants，watering them，applying fertilizer，weeding and getting rid of bugs.He was never tired of doing all that stuff.But at that time，I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately，in the summer vacation before senior high school，my father was seriously injured in an accident.He had to stay in bed for a while.My mother had several business trips，so she couldn't take care of the garden.I didn't want my father to worry.I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water，and luckily it rained fairly often，so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning，my father said to me， "Christine，the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce （生菜） leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs.There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables.When I was making the salad，my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.I was embarrassed and admitted， "Dad would like a salad，but the garden is a disaster.I don't want to disappoint him，so I went to the store and bought some vegetables." My mother smiled，saying， "Honey，you know what is the right thing to do."
My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.______
Feeling guilty，I decided to do the right thing.______組卷：54引用：7難度：0.5
