Mther Nature has it figured ut. She's designed a master scheme that cnnects plants and animals, all wrking in cncert t keep every living thing in balance.
This is especially bvius in places like central Africa and in Suth American trpical rainfrests where certain animals help keep trees safe and healthy, which is critical as trees absrb vast amunts f planet-warming carbn pllutin.
Recent research warns that lsing the creatures that nurture trees puts frests in danger. Thus, by extensin, is helping t accelerate dangerus climate change.
In central Africa, fr example, elephants eat fast-grwing trees, making rm fr thse that grw mre slwly. The slw-grwing trees- with their very dense wd- stre mre carbn than the thinner, faster-develping nes. Withut elephants, mre carbn wuld accumulate in the atmsphere, wrsening climate change, accrding t a new study that used cmputer mdels t prject what culd happen if elephant ppulatins cntinue t decrease r becme extinct.
“Africa may nce have cntained 10 millin elephants frm the Mediterranean t the Cape, in every habitat except extreme desert. In 1970, there may have been a millin left. By the end f the 1980s, there were half that number, mstly killed fr the ivry trade," said Stephen Blake, assistant prfessr f bilgy at St. Luis University.
By killing elephants, pachers (偷猎者) rb slw-grwing trees f their guardian. They als slw the grwth f new trees. Elephants blaze (开辟) trails and disperse (散播) seeds as they lk fr fd.“Elephants are basically the gardeners f the frest, Blake said. “They disperse ver 100 species f seeds, and disperse mre f them. ver lnger distances than ther dispersers."
Blake, wh has spent nearly 20 years in Africa wrking in elephant research and cnservatin, murns their fate, describing them as “a cmplex sciety f intelligent, caring, emtinal animals wh respect their grandmthers and murn their dead," and cndemns thse wh neglect their duty t save them.
“We will g t Mars-- there is n dubt--humans are t smart nt t," he said.“Yet we d nt have the wisdm t prtect elephants and their frest envirnment that d s much fr ur physical, spiritual, and emtinal well-being."
58. Elephants help keep slw-grwing trees safe and healthy by ____.
A. prviding living space fr them
B. dispersing seeds when searching fr fd
C. decreasing in number and reducing carbn accumulatin
D. prtecting them in the frest frm being cut dwn
59. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The wrld is changing at a faster speed than befre.
B. Peple are intelligent enugh t prtect the envirnment.
C. What we have dne t prtect elephants is far frm satisfactry.
D. Animals are s smart that they care much abut the well-being f humans.
60. Which f the fllwing is the best title f the passage?
A. Elephants are in danger f dying ut in the near future.
B. Elephants are fighting climate change in ways humans can't.
C. Animals are assumed t be the gardeners f the frest.
D. Animals are accelerating dangerus climate change.

Lndn, New Yrk, Tky and Paris- -these famus cities have a cmmanding influence n the wrld ecnmy and are hme t millins f peple, as well as internatinally famus arts, culture and educatinal institutins. But they are hardly representative f the rest f the wrld's cities. While 54% f the glbal ppulatin live in cities, arund half f thse live in cities that have 500,000 inhabitants r fewer.
These “rdinary” cities can be verlked by pliticians, investrs, researchers and big businesses. But they are dynamic places with many layers f scial, cultural and ecnmic significance. After experiencing a perid f pst-industrial decline, many such cities are cnsidering urban regeneratin (再生) prgrammes.
But that desn't mean they have t fllw the same path as ther urban areas. In fact, the research int urban develpment has fund that rdinary cities can avid sme f the ill-effects f regeneratin, by embracing what makes them unique.
At the turn f the century, city leaders became increasingly interested in the idea f the “creative city". The idea was t encurage a “creative class” f talented wrkers t make their hmes and businesses in cities, by creating urban spaces that are pen, inclusive and diverse, as well as attractive and technlgically advanced.
“Regeneratin” became a buzzwrd assciated with these types f strategies, which seek t repurpse seemingly disused r rundwn spaces t supprt an ecnmy led by creative and technlgical industries. The apparent success f creative city plicies was seen in pst-industrial centres such as Detrit, US, fllwing investments in cultural, artistic and musical urban renewal.
Such plicies swiftly became the g-t strategy fr seemingly “rdinary" pst-industrial cities arund the wrld, even resulting in new rankings that pit cities against each ther, based n criteria including entrepreneurship (创业精神), urban leadership and“liveability”. Having plenty f frmer industrial spaces that can be adapted fr new uses, and a desire t be nticed n the natinal r glbal stage, encurages investment in urban regeneratin frm bth public and private surces.
Yet regeneratin prgrammes inspired by the creative city agenda can cause prblems. Prperty develpers (地产开发商) and freign investrs have recgnized the ecnmic ptential f real estate (房地产) in “creative” cities. This has led t rcketing land csts, and many lw- incme residents have felt the effects f being displaced frm their hmes.
Yet as mre cities seek t emphasize their cultural assets (资产), city leaders and plicy makers must be aware f the negative impacts that can arise if lcal residents are nt central t the decisin-making prcess. This emphasizes the need t cnsider lcal cntexts and cmmunities befre perating cpycat creative plicies.
61. Sme famus cities can't represent the rest f the wrld's cities in that ____.
A. they are always ignred by pliticians, researchers and businessmen
B. they accmmdate millins f peple but dn't cntribute t the wrld ecnmy
C. abut a quarter f glbal ppulatin live in middle-sized and sma1l cities
D. nt all famus arts, culture and educatinal rganizatins are distributed there
62. What measure was prbably taken by cities like Detrit t prmte city develpment?
A. Using culture and art as a driving frce.
B. Frcing lw-incme residents t mve.
C. Fllwing the same path as sme big cities.
D. Encuraging industrial investment cntinuusly.
63. What des the authr want t stress in the passage?
A. Cities shuld cpy regeneratin prgrammes.
B. Cities shuld cmpete with each ther based n sme criteria.
C. Cities shuld seek financial supprt frm surces arund the wrld.
D. Cities shuld cnsider reginal factrs befre using creative plicies.
64. What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A. Ordinary cities successfully avid ill-effects f develpment.
B. Ordinary cities dn't have t cpy trends t regenerate.
C. Ordinary cities are trying t recver frm pst industrial decline.
D. Ordinary cities are dynamic places with scial imprtance.

The prfessr
“A teacher affects eternity (永恒); he can never tell where his influence stps."
-Henry Adams
He was eight years ld. A telegram came frm the hspital, and since his father, a Russian immigrant, culd nt read English, Mrrie had t break the news, reading his mther's death ntice like a student read in frnt f the class.“We regret t infrm yu..." he began.
On the mrning f the funeral, Mrrie's relatives came dwn the steps f his tenement building n the pr Lwer East Side f Manhattan.
At the cemetery, Mrrie watched as they shveled dirt int his mther's grave. He tried t recall the tender mments they had shared when she was alive. She had perated a candy stre until she gt sick, after which she mstly slept r sat by the windw, lking frail and weak. Smetimes she wuld yell ut fr her sn t get her sme medicine, and yung Mrrie, playing stickball in the street, wuld pretend he did nt hear her. In his mind he believed he culd make the illness g away by ignring it.
Hw else can a child deal with death?
Mrrie's father, whm everyne called Charlie, had cme t America t escape the Russian Army. He wrked in the fur business, but cnstantly ut f a jb. Uneducated and barely able t speak English, he was terribly pr, and the family was n the public assistance much f the time. Smetimes, t make mney, Mrie and his yunger brther, David, wuld wash prch steps tgether fr a nickel (镍币).
One mrning, David culdn't mve. He had pli (小儿麻痹症). Fr a lng time- -as his brther was taken back and frth t a special medical hme and was frced t wear braces n his legs, which left him limping- -Mrrie felt respnsible.
S in the mrnings, he went t synaggue (犹太教会堂) and he std amng the swaying men in their lng black cats and he asked Gd t take care f his dead mther and his sick brther.
And in the afternns, he std at the bttm f the subway steps and sld magazines, turning whatever mney he made ver t his family t buy fd.
In the evenings, he watched his father eat in silence, hping fr- -but never getting- a shw f affectin, cmmunicatin, warmth.
At nine years ld, he felt as if the weight f a muntain were n his shulders.
But a saving embrace came int Mrrie's life the fllwing year: his new stepmther, Eva. She was a shrt Rmanian immigrant with plain features, curly brwn hair, and the energy f tw wmen. She had a glw (光) that warmed the therwise murky atmsphere his father created. She talked when her new husband was silent, she sang sngs t the children at night. Mrrie tk cmfrt in her smthing vice, her schl lessns, her strng character. When his brther returned frm the medical hme, still wearing braces frm the pli, the tw f them shared a rllaway bed in the kitchen f their apartment, and Eva wuld kiss them gd-night. Mrrie waited n thse kisses like a puppy waits n milk, and he felt, deep dwn, that he had a mther again.
There was n escaping their pverty, hwever. Because f the Depressin, Mrrie's father fund even less wrk in the fur business.
Still, despite their circumstances, Mrrie was taught t lve and t care. And t learn. Eva wuld accept nthing less than excellence in schl, because she saw educatin as the nly antidte t their pverty. She herself went t night schl t imprve her English. Mrrie's lve fr educatin was hatched in her arms.
He studied at night, by the lamp at the kitchen table. And in the mrnings he wuld g t synaggue t say Kaddish- -the memrial prayer fr the dead- -fr his mther. He did this t keep her memry alive.
“What will yu d?" Eva wuld ask him.
“I dn't knw,”he wuld say. He ruled ut law, because he didn't like lawyers, and he ruled ut medicine, because he culdn't take the sight f bld.
“What will yu d?"
It was nly thrugh default that the best prfessr I ever had became a teacher.
65. Why didn't Mrrie respnd t Mther's yelling fr medicine?
A. He didn't knw hw t help his mther.
B. He was t fcused n playing stickball.
C. He was lst in tender mments they shared in the past.
D. He was t yung t understand what was happening t his family.
66. After Eva jined in the family, Mrrie
A. began t enjy a materially rich life
B. witnessed his father changing the atmsphere
C. partly recvered frm the sufferings in his life
D. was frced t pursue academic achievements
67. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd“antidte'?

68. What gives Mrrie the initial affectin fr educatin?
A. His stepmther 's influence.
B. His desire fr knwledge. .
C. His experience at schl.
D. His memry f Mther.
69. Which f the fllwing can best describe Mrrie?

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
The stry f the emperr's new clthes is ne f Andersen's best-knwn fables. Cnmen fl the mnarch int believing they have made him a fabulus suit that the unwrthy will be unable t see. Curtiers dare nt say that the emperr is naked; it takes a child t pint ut the bvius.
The mral is that peple are ften t hidebund (迁腐的) by scial cnventin t state their views. Hw many cmpanies have plughed ahead with expensive prjects that were favured by the chief executive, even when ther managers have had dubts? In his new bk Rebel Ideas: The Pwer f Diverse Thinking, Matthew Syed argues that the key t dealing with this prblem is "cgnitive diversity", in ther wrds, assembling a team f peple with different perspectives and intellectual backgrunds. It is nt just abut selecting peple fr teams frm bth sexes and varius ethnicities. Hire nly Cambridge plitics graduates r Harvard MBAs r Stanfrd sftware engineers and they will have studied under the same prfessrs and absrbed similar wrld views regardless f their gender r skin clur.
There is anther element t selecting a gd team: ensuring that thse viewpints are heard and respected. That may nt happen if thse in charge are verbearing (专横的). A study f ver 300 prjects by the Rtterdam Schl f Management fund that thse led by junir managers were mre likely t succeed than thse led by senir managers- maybe because ther team members were less scared abut pinting ut ptential dangers t smene lwer dwn the pecking rder (权势等级).
The ability t speak up within an rganizatin, withut fear f punishment, is knwn as “psychlgical safety". Mr. Syed cites a study f teams at Ggle, which fund that self-reprted psychlgical safety was by far the mst imprtant factr behind successful teamwrk at the technlgy giant.
One way t vercme shyness while brainstrming, fr instance, is fr everyne t write dwn their ideas but ensure their names are never knwn. That way pinins abut thughts are less clsely tied t the senirity f the thinker and can be tested against each ther with less fear r favur.
Increasing the number and range f ideas n ffer may be the secret f success. As Mr. Syed writes, the willingness t share knwledge pays ff in a wrld f cmplexity. Anther advantage f diversity is that utsiders can spt prfitable pprtunities that insiders may miss. Immigrants accunt fr 13% f the American ppulatin but 27.5% f thse wh start a new business. By their nature, migrants have mre get-up-and-g than the average persn- therwise they wuldn't mve. Sme may start businesses because existing nes wn't hire freigners, but Mr. Syed is prbably right that experiencing mre than ne culture is a cmpetitive advantage.

Qualified blggers can charge readers up t 208 yuan ($30) fr each article, and WeChat will charge the blggers a technical service fee.
WeChat, the mst ppular scial media app in China with 1.15 billin mnthly active users, said the feature aims t mtivate riginal cntent publishers t prduce mre psts with higher quality.
Public blgging accunts, which can be run by individuals r cmpanies, currently make mney frm in-app advertisements, which are negtiated directly between advertisers and blg wners, with WeChat nt taking a cut. Readers can als vluntarily tip blggers directly via a functin called Zan Shang.
Andrid users can pay with WeChat Pay, Tencent's mbile payment methd. Users with iOS, hwever, must use Apple's in-app purchase service, meaning that Apple will take a cut f as much as 30% fr each transactin.
It's unclear hw blggers and readers will respnd t the new feature as Chinese users are used t large amunts f free cntent shared n the scial media platfrm.
