A
Is our planet heating up Are human beings to blame for climate change These questions have burst into newspapers, TV programmes, films and popular books. The discussion on this subject has been heated. but what are scientists actually saying At Reader's Digest, we decided to find out.
Has the planet ever been this warm before
Yes. it has, and even warmer. Greenland was forested between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago,so temperatures were considerably warmer then. There have also been other times of relatively high temperatures.
So why does the concern exist
It's all about the speed at which temperatures are changing. In the past, temperatures moved up or down gradually. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially since 1976, temperatures have probably risen more quickly than during any century in the past 1,000 years. Warming may bring improved crop production and other benefits to northern countries such as Canada or Russia.However, many species may not adapt to conditions, and the ones that are able to may cause a problem. Mosquitoes have been moving northwards to higher places. The West Nile virus(病毒),first seen in North America nine years ago, infected(传染) about 4,000 people in the US in 2006.The mountain pine beetle, which is active during warmer winters, has already destroyed about 13million hectares of Canada's forests, worth an estimated $6.4 billion.
What is causing the warming
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) has concluded that human activity is very likely responsible, by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases and thus the greenhouse effect. More than 25 scientific societies, including those in the G8 nations, have endorsed the conclusion. Some scientists, however, still disagree, arguing that the human contribution is nothing.
51. When the planet is heating up, which of the following can most likely benefit from it
A. Forests. B. Animals. C. Agriculture. D. Industry.
52. We can infer from the passage that in the past .
A. temperatures remained the same for a long time
B. more and more animals died of the cold weather
C. crops couldn't grow in cold countries like Russia
D. the mountain pine beetle caused less damage to forests
53. The underlined word“endorsed” in the last paragraph probably means .
A. challenged B. supported C. discussed D. refused
B
You may have heard of the book Moby Dick (《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out that Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.
Melville's first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successful.They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands.Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book. Mardi, Melville's popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.
Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.
Melville’ s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt,frustration, and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector.Eventually, Melville abandoned prose (散文) and began to write poetry.
The Civil War is the main subject of Melville's poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, based on this experience.
Melville died in 1891 at the age of seventy-two. At this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in the1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today MobyDick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.
54. Why did Melville's popularity become weak
A. He changed his writing styles.
B. He didn't have much money.
C. No one published his books.
D. Readers turned for better works.
55. We can learn from the text that Moby Dick .
A. sold a little better than Pierre
B. was Melville's favorite novel
C. was copied from other books
D. made Melville popular again
56. What is the text mainly about
A. The main works of Melville.
B. The skills in Melville's writing.
C. The ups and downs of Melville.
D. The reason for Melville's failure.
C
Adults who had close contact with natural spaces during their childhood could have a better mental health than those who had less contact, according to a new study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global).
The all-adult study gave 3,600 participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood— for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.
Volunteers were then given a psychological (心理的) test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.
The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed (暴露的) to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—— as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.
The study's coordinator(协调员), Wilma Zijlema, wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood". She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the
implications(含义) of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe's population only has limited access to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen said that“Many children in Europe lead an indoors lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in. We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green school yards .”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
57. What was the purpose of the IS Global's study
A. To examine the advantages of taking a walk.
B. To see how childhood experiences shape adult life.
C. To understand the mental health problems of children.
D. To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces.
58. What do we know about the study
A. The participants were from all over the world.
B. The participants included both children and adults.
C. It focused on the participants' physical health state.
D. It consisted of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
59. What do Paragraphs 5-6 mainly talk about
A. The value of the study.
B. The method of the study.
C. The process of the study.
D. The difficulties of the study.
60. What's the best title for this passage
A. Benefits of Green Spaces
B. Values of Psychological Tests
C. Importance of Physical Health
D. Problems of Europe's Population

Lou Gehrig was one of baseball's greatest players. His parents didn't want him to make a career of baseball. They thought it was a waste of time, but he loved the game. He was on his high school baseball team. A-talent scout(物色运动员的人) saw him and offered him a sports scholarship in college. The family didn't have much money because his father was ill. His mother was a cook at the college, and Lou waited on tables to help pay his way.
He started playing for the New York Yankees in 1923. His parents scraped together $14 for him to make the trip to spring training camp in New Orleans. When he got there, he started looking for a job, but the team paid him some money in advance. He was able to concentrate on practicing and improving his skills.
He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the“Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn't broken for 50 years.
But then something bad happened. He could barely swing the bat and he couldn't run around the bases any more. He knew something was wrong. He had a disease and would become unable to move.

In his speech he said his career in baseball made him“the luckiest man on the face of the earth”. That same year he was voted into the Hall of Fame.

Dear John,
I am sorry to hear that you are lonely in this new school. Now I'd like to offer you some suggestions.
It's normal for you to feel lonely because you are living in an entirely new environment. To adapt yourself to the unfamiliar surroundings, you'd better take an active part in class and after-school activities. What's more, don't be afraid to show people what you are really good at. It's easier to make friends when you have similar interests with others. To be frank, I'd like to be your friend and invite you to come to my home on Sunday. I hope everything will be fine with you in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
