Trees take years to grow,sometimes centuries!Shubhendu Sharma has found a way to grow native forests anywhere in the world.The six-part process was improved after Sharma learned the ins and outs of producing healthy trees from Akira Miyawaki,an award-winning botanist(植物学家) who has planted over 40 million trees around the world.
The two met while Sharma was working at Toyota,when Miyawaki was appointed to plant a forest for a car company.After volunteering with Miyawaki,Sharma quit his job to take on a new career path—planting trees.The fruits of his labor culminated in(终获某种结局)the for-profit company Afforestt,which plants native forests around the world for customers ranging from farmers and corporations to city governments.
Trees are one of Mother Nature’s greatest gifts as they clean the air,save water,attract various animals and species,conserve energy and much more.Sharma applied his industrial engineer background to trees by creating a computer program that registers tree species’ parameters(特性) in order to find the best combination of trees that will form a forest.Afforestt is promoting their standardized method for seeding thick,fast-growing native forests in poor lands,with such remarkable results like a multilayered forest of 300 trees that is grown on a small space.
Sharma plans on spreading his fast tree-growing methodology near and far with an automated system that provides anyone with step-by-step instructions on how to plant a native forest.

答案与解析:
【语篇导读】在日常生活中,父母控制着孩子许多方面的事情。但是随着孩子的长大,父母就需要有不同的态度了。
1.of 解析:考查介词。hundreds of是固定短语,表示“许多,大量”。
2.protection 解析:考查名词。this kind of后接名词,此处表示孩子需要这种保护和帮助。
3.themselves 解析:考查反身代词。此处指代kids,故用themselves表示孩子们自己。
4.correctly 解析:考查副词。此处用副词修饰动词短语make decisions,意为“正确地做出决定”。
5.older 解析:考查形容词比较级。此处谈的是由kid到teen的情况,故用比较级。
6.is separated 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,one后一个定语从句,从句中缺少谓语;separate from是固定结构,“与……隔开”。此处是一般性的描述,故用一般现在时;又因为identity与separate是动宾关系,故用被动语态。
7.a 解析:考查冠词。固定短语as a result“结果”。
8.increasing 解析:考查现在分词。用现在分词作定语,指父母正在增长的担心。
9.that 解析:考查表语从句。空格前为系动词is,空格后是一个完整的句子,分析句子结构可知所填词引导表语从句,表语从句中不缺少成分,所以用that引导。句意:孩子应该记住的是大多数情况下,你的父母能理解你经历的事情,因为他们曾经是青少年。
10.were 解析:考查动词时态。because引导原因状语从句,从句中缺少谓语;由once可知,应用一般过去时。
