• 1．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(fā)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.

• 3．    Humanity's impact on the environment is often framed in the context of the post-industrial era but new research shows how intensive land use by a medieval East African population changed their natural habitat forever.
      Unguja Ukuu，a historic settlement located on Zanzibar Island，in Zanzibar，Tanzania，was a key port of trade in the Indian Ocean by the first millennium （一千年） AD when the island was populated by farming societies establishing trade links with the Indian Ocean，China and beyond.
      "The islands of Zanzibar witnessed numerous environmental and cultural changes as the region became a center of maritime trade，cross-cultural interaction，and global exchange，" says the study's lead author Dr.Ania Kotarba-Morley.
      These changes resulted in the dumping of food remains，general waste and increased agricultural activity and land use，all of which negatively impacted sediment（沉淀物） build-up along the island. "Our study outlines clearly how human disturbance in a natural environment impacted coastal land forms and sediments on a remote East African island already over 1，000 years ago and directly changed the fortunes of the coastal inhabitants in the area as a result，" says Dr.Ania.
      The researchers applied a variety of standards and new techniques to find new patterns which improve our understanding of the changes in the make-up of the sediment along the coastline of local creeks（小海灣） and the bay on the island，directly impacted by human activity.
      To help understand how and why these ancient ports thrived （繁榮） or declined ，it is important to know how the coastal landscape influenced the way traders undertook their commercial activities，or drove decisions，including mooring （停泊） locations and investments of labour and capital by local communities and any central authorities.
      The researchers say these processes might be responsible for the decline.jye.ai eventual abandonment of Unguja Ukuu at the turn of the second millennium AD — a period of regional socio-political and economic transformation of coastal African societies that marked the appearance of maritime Swahili culture.
  
  （1）What can we infer about Zanzibar Island in the first millennium AD？

  
  A．It had the biggest port of trade.
  B．It had developed agriculture.
  C．It was the center of the world industry.
  D．It had the settlements of first Africans.
  （2）What did Dr.Ania's research find out？

  
  A．Agricultural activities promoted global exchange.
  B．The building of Unguja Ukuu destroyed the shoreline.
  C．The Indian Ocean was the birthplace of globalization.
  D．Ancient humans influenced African island environment.
  （3）What did the researchers focus on in the study？

  
  A．The fish numbers.
  B．The bay on the island.
  C．The changes of coastal landscape.
  D．The make-up of the local creeks.
  （4）What happened at the turn of the second millennium AD？

  
  A．Unguja Ukuu was deserted.
  B．The Swahili culture disappeared.
  C．The cross-cultural interaction started.
  D．The trade links were established in the world.

• 4．The Trans-Siberian Railway is a single train line that crosses nearly the complete length of Russia，from Moscow to Vladivostok.It covers a total of 5，772 miles，running from Europe to Asia.Unlike the longest flight in the world，which just began transporting passengers in 2018，the Trans-Siberian Railway started its business in 1916.
     Anyone who has taken this long journey，or even just part of it，will tell you that it travels at a rather slow speed，passing through some amazing，remote areas of Russia.You don't have to make the full journey without stopping.Instead，you're recommended to get off where there are attractive views，since it stops in some pretty fantastic places.But you certainly can take the full journey non-stop.If you do，the trip will take about 144 hours-six full days!
     You can book tickets with travel agencies.You can also make the booking online and tickets will be sent to your hotel or personal address.Children under 4 years old accompanied by adults can travel free，but cannot take up a seat.A child ticket needs to be bought if you want to get a seat for the child.
     There are longer railway services in the transportation world，but only one of them is a passenger line as some longer routes transport goods，not travellers.This railway may not be the fastest or the most modern，but it's clearly still an important player in the transportation world!
  
  （1）Why is the longest flight mentioned in the first paragraph？

  
  A．To compare the two different ways of transport.
  B．To state the Trans-Siberian Railway is out of date.
  C．To explain how long the Trans-Siberian Railway covers.
  D．To show the great history of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
  （2）Which of the following statements about the Trans-Siberian Railway is TRUE？

  
  A．A non-stop journey is suggested.
  B．It takes six full days to finish a non-stop trip.
  C．Children are always free of charge on this trip.
  D．It is the longest railway in the transportation world.
  （3）Where does this passage probably come from？

  
  A．A history textbook.
  B．A science fiction.
  C．A business journal.
  D．A travel magazine.

• 5．Now，imagine we're deep space explorers and we've found something out in space that is both extremely heavy and very small.This mysterious object would pull so powerfully that nothing inside could escape to the outside. （1）

  Again imagine we stay in our spaceship at a safe distance and make a movie of this black hole.（2）

  We would instead see the black hole eat anything that came too close.We get lucky：as we watch，the black hole swallows an entire star!
     Our movie，titled " Black hole eats a star " gets a million views online. （3）

  In the movie played backwards，we'd see a very heavy，very small object just sitting there—and then，all of a sudden，spit out an entire star!The object we're looking at now，which spits everything out and eats nothing，would be called a white hole.
     Are there white holes？We have good evidence from our telescopes that black holes really do exist.（4）

  That astronomers think about white holes is because of Albert Einstein.He came up with an excellent idea about gravity.His theory describes how black holes work，with their huge gravitational pull and also says white holes are possible.So could our universe actually make a white hole？（5）

  ？Probably not.Something can be"possible"as an idea，but also extremely unlikely in real life.
     White holes are unlikely because they are an"in reverse"kind of thing.Time in our universe only flows in one direction：forward.So for now，white holes are just in interesting possibility.
  
  

  A.This kind of object is a black hole. B.Is there a white hole in the universe？ C.Now picture yourself near a black hole. D.However，we've never seen a white hole. E.And could a black hole become a white hole？ F.We'd never see anything escape from the black hole. G.But now imagine what would happen if we played it in reverse.
