Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.
Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.
“Predicting species’reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology, ” said the researchers of several U. S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.
The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1, 634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8. 5 times and leafing by 4 times.
“Across all species, the experiments under- predicted the speed of the advance—for both leafing and flowering—that results from temperature increases, ”the study said.
The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.
Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0. 8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0. 2 ℃ every ten years since 1979.
So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet- warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.
1. What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?
A. Plants’reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.
B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’expectation.
C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.
D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
2. We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that .
A. plants’flowering is 8. 5 times faster than leafing
B. there are 1, 634 plant species on the four continents
C. scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change
3. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because .
A. they can prove the climate change clearly
B. they are very important in the food chains
C. they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D. they are growing and flowering much faster than before
4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?
A. It has risen nearly 0. 2℃ since 1979.
B. Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C. It is 0. 8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900.
D. It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.

“Everyone is entitled（有权） to their opinion" is a remark commonly heard in our society. We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish.
Children learn this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase ‘‘well, it's just my opinion" can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification（正当的理由） for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo（禁忌）around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else.
This can make things hard for the teacher. We want to promote tolerance and respect in our classrooms and give young people a sense: this is how one ought to behave. Yet, we are also seeking to develop reasoning and critical thinking. To some extent, there is an idea that people's views carry equal weight because all individuals ought to be treated equally. Treating people equally is different from treating what they say with equal weight, though. We need to make clear to students that the right to one's opinions does not ignore the need to support them with argument when called to do so.
Justification is the signal difference between opinion and argument. Opinions are stated; arguments are advanced. Opinions are given; arguments are proposed. When we ask a student to explain themselves, we are asking them to give us something that will lend evidence to what they have said. We are asking them to convince us, to persuade us, to show us the reasonableness of what it is they are saying.
64. According to Paragraph 2, if you offer a get-out clause, you may.
A. fall into a difficult situationB. escape being questioned
C. raise your social positionD. have to further explain your opinion
65. The teacher may find it hard to .
A. put up a brick wall to avoid giving acceptable reasons
B. challenge the opinions of others to have a deep effect on them
C. encourage tolerance and respect while developing reasoning and critical thinking
D. tell the differences between opinion and argument
66. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. studentsB. teachersC. needsD. opinions
67. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Everyone is entitled to their opinion
B. Never bother with the rights of others
C. “It's just my opinion" isn't good enough
D. Treat what people say equally

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 31. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and _______.
A. preferred to stay alone at home

B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades
C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around

D. School education doesn’t work without full support from parents. 【参考答案】31-34 CADB

Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent（出租）a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing
solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
35. If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.
A. ￡800
B. ￡500
C. ￡4500
