Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10：30 train on Saturday．

Just before dinner， a telegram arrived． It said，"Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall． "

"It's serious， my friend， and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer．"

My father was a cemetery（公墓）keeper．When I was a child，he often took me there．Before we left each time，he would lay some stones on some graves（坟墓）．I never asked why．I just thought that was his work．

Trees in cities "live fast but die young" compared to forests in the countryside， warns a new study．
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2． City﹣living trees suffer（遭受） a loss of carbon storage（碳储量）． That means trees produce less energy from the air．
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation． Ian Smith， a PhD student of Boston University in the United States， said， "Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．"． "We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover（树冠覆盖率）． Because of the age and size of the present canopy， efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover．"
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods． Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth， death and planting rates（率）both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts．
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside． However， loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher， especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests．
The study， published in PLOS ONE， has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees． It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage．
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily， but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees ﹣﹣﹣which may be different from countryside forests．

（1）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？　 　
A． The more carbon storage loses， the more energy the trees produce from the air．
B． The higher the levels of CO2 are， the harder it will be for the plants to survive．
C． If we plant enough trees， we are sure to increase city canopy cover．
D． Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．
（2）Paragraph 4 mainly tells us　 　．
A． the results of the study
B． the discoveries from the researchers
C． the methods of the study
D． the suggestions from the researchers
（3）What does" those" in Paragraph 5 refer to？　 　
A． Death rates．
B． Rates of carbon cycling．
C． Growth rates．
D． Loss of carbon storage．
（4）The writer's main purpose of writing the passage is　 　．
A． to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B． to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C． to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D． to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover

Nowadays， many people in China and Japan are racing against time． They put a lot of value in "being on time"． However， in some countries of the world， people have different opinions on "being on time"．
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past， in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting．
In Germany， being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting， wondering how on earth you could be so stupid． What will you do if anything unexpected happens， like heavy traffic or a sudden rain？ So remember to arrive early in Germany．
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them． It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about． It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time． So don't expect them to be on time． Moreover， looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners． So don't get angry with them， either．
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed， even if an exact time is given， Ghanaians are very relaxed and easygoing． They think that if everyone is late， then no one is late． After all， what can't be done today can get done tomorrow． If you find it difficult to deal with， prepare to be unhappy． Otherwise， sit back enjoy the ride．
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not． When doing business in Russia， do be on time． Otherwise， it will be considered disrespectful． But Russians won't hold themselves to the same standard． So， again， patience can be key．

How differently people （1）　 　 "being on time" in different countries
（2）　 　
Different opinions on "being on time"
China and Japan
●Both Chinese and Japanese think it （3）　 　to be on time．
Germany
● （4）　 　expect you to arrive early for any planned meeting because of the influence of their industrial past．
●You are thought to be stupid （5）　 　you arrive at least ten minutes earlier．
Saudi Arabia
●Time is not the （6）　 　thing for people living in the desert to consider．

●Most meeting times can be changed． You might be unhappy if you can't accept it．

"Yes，" said Dr．Mortimer，"Barrymore． "
"We must send a telegram to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall，" said Holmes．
Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall．
"OK"， said Holmes． "But you mustn't go alone． Watson can go with you． "
Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10：30 train on Saturday．
Holmes thought deeply on the way home： the story of the Hound， Sir Charles's death， the strange letter， the missing boot and the black﹣bearded man． He sat in his room all afternoon， smoking and thinking．
Just before dinner， a telegram arrived． It said，"Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall． "
"That becomes a dead end， Watson． We will have to look for another way to go forward．
Just then the door bell rang． It was the cab driver who drove the man with the black beard． "I got a message that you are asking for me"， he said． "I've never had a complaint． I came here to ask you what you had against me! "
"No， no， "said Holmes．" Instead， I'll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning． He watched this house at 10：00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen． "
The driver looked surprised and then answered，"The man said he was a detective and that I shouldn't tell anyone about him． "
"It's serious， my friend， and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer．"
"His name，" said the driver， "was Sherlock Holmes． "
I'd never seen Holmes more surprised． Then he laughed． " He scored against me thattime， Watson． "
The driver told us everything he knew． Holmes gave him the money and sent him away． "This is a dangerous enemy， Watson．"

（3）C 句意猜测题，根据T "His name，" said the driver， "was Sherlock Holmes． " I'd never seen Holmes more surprised．"他的名字"司机说道："叫夏洛克福尔摩斯"，我从没见过福尔摩斯这么惊讶，判断那个人通过告诉司机他是福尔摩斯而占得先机．故选C．

My father was a cemetery（公墓）keeper．When I was a child，he often took me there．Before we left each time，he would lay some stones on some graves（坟墓）．I never asked why．I just thought that was his work．
Yesterday， I visited my sick father． He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones． For some reason， it had to be done that day． I agreed． I hadn't been there for a long time．
When I got there， I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on．As I went to lay it， I heard her whisper" Thank you"． It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day． The grave was that of a child， only five when he died fifteen years ago．
" He's my son， "she said． " But， where's your father？ He was always the one to leave the stone．"
I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this． It seemed important to him．"Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else． When my child died， I came often to see him． It is our custom to leave a stone． It tells the one who is here that he is thought of． But， then we moved away from here.. so many painful memories.. I was so afraid that he would be alone． But your father marked the grave every time he came． Each time I returned here， I saw that stone and it always comforted me． Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers． Just tell him you saw me today， won't you？" She said．

Trees in cities "live fast but die young" compared to forests in the countryside， warns a new study．
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2． City﹣living trees suffer（遭受） a loss of carbon storage（碳储量）． That means trees produce less energy from the air．
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation． Ian Smith， a PhD student of Boston University in the United States， said， "Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．"． "We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover（树冠覆盖率）． Because of the age and size of the present canopy， efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover．"
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods． Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth， death and planting rates（率）both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts．
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside． However， loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher， especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests．
The study， published in PLOS ONE， has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees． It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage．
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily， but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees ﹣﹣﹣which may be different from countryside forests．

（1）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？　B　
A． The more carbon storage loses， the more energy the trees produce from the air．
B． The higher the levels of CO2 are， the harder it will be for the plants to survive．
C． If we plant enough trees， we are sure to increase city canopy cover．
D． Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．
（2）Paragraph 4 mainly tells us　C　．
A． the results of the study
B． the discoveries from the researchers
C． the methods of the study
D． the suggestions from the researchers
（3）What does" those" in Paragraph 5 refer to？　A　
A． Death rates．
B． Rates of carbon cycling．
C． Growth rates．
D． Loss of carbon storage．
（4）The writer's main purpose of writing the passage is　C　．
A． to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B． to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C． to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D． to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover
【分析】一项研究发现，与农村的森林相比，城市的树木"活得快，死得年轻"．研究人员对其进行了调查研究．
【解答】（1）B．判断正确题．根据第二段"Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2． "研究人员发现，城市中的树木比农村中的树木死亡的更早，因为二氧化碳含量更高．可知，二氧化碳含量越高，植物就越难存活．选B．
（2）C．段落大意题． 根据第四段The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods．研究小组使用一个模型来观察街道树木在几种种植和管理方法中的变化．可知，主要是叙述研究的方法，没有提到研究结果和发现，也没有提出建议，故选C
（3）A．词意猜测题．根据前文""especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests．"比较级是同类比较，主语是death rates，所以those代指death rates．故选A
（4）C．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段，" but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees﹣﹣﹣which may be different from countryside forests．"但是需要做更多的工作来更好地了解城市树木，这可能与乡村森林有所不同．可知，作者的写这篇文章的目的是让我们对城市树木有更好的理解，故选C．

五、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，计10分）
31．（10分）阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格．
Nowadays， many people in China and Japan are racing against time． They put a lot of value in "being on time"． However， in some countries of the world， people have different opinions on "being on time"．
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past， in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting．
In Germany， being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting， wondering how on earth you could be so stupid． What will you do if anything unexpected happens， like heavy traffic or a sudden rain？ So remember to arrive early in Germany．
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them． It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about． It could be that it's too hot to do anything on time． So don't expect them to be on time． Moreover， looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners． So don't get angry with them， either．
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed， even if an exact time is given， Ghanaians are very relaxed and easygoing． They think that if everyone is late， then no one is late． After all， what can't be done today can get done tomorrow． If you find it difficult to deal with， prepare to be unhappy． Otherwise， sit back enjoy the ride．
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not． When doing business in Russia， do be on time． Otherwise， it will be considered disrespectful． But Russians won't hold themselves to the same standard． So， again， patience can be key．

How differently people （1）　think / consider　 "being on time" in different countries
（2）　Countries

（4）Germans 考查同义词转换．根据文中第二段的in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting．在德国，您预计至少提前10分钟到达，参加任何计划中的会议．可知，"德国人"希望你能提前到达．故填：Germans
（5）unless 考查推理判断题．根据文中第三段第一句In Germany， being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting， wondering how on earth you could be so stupid．在德国，准时是很危险的，因为你的主人可能已经在那里等着了，想知道你到底怎么会这么蠢．根据句意可得，除非你提前十分钟到达，否则你被认为是愚蠢的．故填：unless
（6）first 考查细节理解题．根据文中第四段第二句It's because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about．这是因为他们沙漠生活的悠久历史，时间不是第一个需要考虑的问题．可得，故填：first
（7）impolite或rude 考查同义词转换．根据文中第四段倒数第二句Moreover， looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners．此外，在活动中看手表甚至被认为是不礼貌的行为．可以推测，这种行为被认为是"粗鲁的，不礼貌的"．故填：rude / impolite
（8）nobody 考查同义词转换． 根据文中第五段第二句They think that if everyone is late， then no one is late．他们认为如果每个人都迟到了，就没有人迟到．no one转换为nobody．故填：nobody
（9）culture 考查细节理解题．根据最后一段第一句Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not．在俄罗斯文化中，耐心被认为是一种非常重要的品质，但准时并不是．可知，在俄罗斯要有耐心，因为这是俄罗斯文化中非常重要的品质．故填：culture
