Not only is it the only tree on Campbell Island, but the nearest other tree can be found over 200 km away on the Auckland Islands.Bluff, Campbell Island is one of the harshest places in the world. With strong winds blowing almost all year round and less than 600 hours of sunshine, its not exactly a good place to live in, which is probably why, except for occasional visits by research scientists, it has remained deserted for over half a century.It is believed that the Sitka Spruce on Campbell Island was planted by Lord Ranfurly, a former governor of New Zealand, sometime between 1901 and 1907. Its not clear why he decided to plant there, but according to some sources he said that the island was not productive, and took the first step to cover it with forestry. His idea was never going to work because of the harsh climate of the area, but somehow the Sitka Spruce survived.Apart from its reputation as the loneliest tree on Earth, the Sitka Spruce of Campbell Island has a series of other particularities. First of all its shape makes it look more like a giant cauliflower than a tree. This is believed to have been caused by repeatedly cutting down its trunk every year, for decades. Another interesting thing about the worlds loneliest tree is that, though it is over 100 years old, it has never produced cones (球果).Who knew a lonely tree growing 200 km away from its nearest cousins could be so interesting?24. What does the underlined word “harshest” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Loneliest. B. Rarest.C. Hottest. D. Severest.25. What can be learned about Lord Ranfurly?A. He was a governor for ten years.B. He made Campbell Island productive.C. He attempted to get Campbell Island forested.D. He realized the Sitka Spruce could survive in New Zealand.26. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _ of the Sitaka Spruce.A. the unique shape B. the special featuresC. the high reputation D. the growth process27. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce the loneliest tree in the world.B. To promote tourism on Campbell Island.C. To emphasize the importance of forestry.D. To honour Lord Ranfurly.CThe largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term health outcomes, say researchers.The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents.The outcomes remained consistent even after adjustments for socio-demographic (社会人口统计学), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods.The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.“With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design.“We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.”To measure a neighborhoods activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index(指标) of walkability containing relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations.Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and were harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-term gains as they are enduring and common.”28. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _.A. reduce the ageing populationB. promote activity-friendly and walkable citiesC. invest in preventing and curing heart diseasesD. slow down the pace of urbanization29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability.B. Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure.C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to peoples neglect of their health.D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are more likely to benefit from increased walkability.30. All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoods EXCEPT _.A. fewer neighborhoods B. unhealthy lifestyleC. fewer social interactions D. failing health31. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _.A. cities should encourage the residents to engage in social interactionsB. the design of our neighborhoods should meet peoples needs for retail densityC. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expensesD. chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment changeDTheres something about the New Year that always makes me read my horoscope (星象) to see what lies ahead. I dont believe in any of it really but theres comfort in being told that the next 12 months will bring health, wealth and happiness. Well, its usually over optimistic, isnt it?There are many other people who are also skeptical about astrology (占星术) and its belief that knowledge of the position of the stars and planets can help us understand our personality or predict human affairs. However, despite the lack of scientific evidence in its favour, astrology has been around for thousands of years, and is believed by millions of people in both the West and the East.The West has its star signs every month and the East has its animals every year. Im a Pig. When I first found out I was a Pig person I was a little disappointed, and my friends (powerful Dragons, friendly Dogs and fierce Tigers) laughed. Pigs have a bad reputation people think theyre dirty animals that smell horrible.In the Chinese zodiac (生肖) there are 12 animals and according to one legend, when Buddha left the earth, only 12 animals came to say goodbye to him. As a reward Buddha named a year after each of the animals in the order that they came to him, and the pig came last. So I thought I was unlucky being a Pig but this isnt so.It appears that Pigs are kind people who are helpful and giving. They tend to make good friends as they are faithful, thoughtful and trusting. Pigs are happy, optimistic people and have lots of funthat sounds OK to me! However, Pigs are often nave (幼稚的) and apparently its easy to cheat a Pig. They are also likely to react without thinking, and theyre not that great with money either. Pigs, it seems, get along with Sheep and Rabbits but, interestingly, not other Pigs, who they should stay clear of.32. Finding out that he was a Pig person, the author felt _.A. a little unhappy B. very excitedC. quite proud D. a little surprised33. What is the legend mentioned in Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The lonely life of Buddha. B. The features of Pig people.C. The advantages of being a Pig. D. The origin of the Chinese zodiac.34. Which of the following is TRUE about Pigs?A. They are innocent. B. They are very lazy.C. They are very smart. D. They are moneymakers.35. What does the underlined part “stay clear of” in the last paragraph mean?A. Give in to. B. Fight against.C. Keep away from. D. Make friends with.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lemon water is pretty popular.

Heres what may happen if you take up the lemon water habit.Easier weight lossStudies in mice indicate that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in lemons can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be applied to humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularly report easier weight loss, though it is unclear if the combination of lemon and water is the fundamental driver. 37. .Get enough vitamin CVitamin C is an important antioxidant that has a ton of health benefits.

Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit. 39. , and high blood pressure is related to stress, so not getting enough potassium can certainly affect your mood. All in all, lemon water can be a calming drink.In the end, drinking water is never a bad call, and there is absolutely no reason not to add lemon to it. Drinking lemon water provides some helpful nutrients and antioxidants. Give it a try! 40. .A. Lemon is a common smell in all manner of cleaning productsB. Potassium plays a huge part in regulating blood pressureC. There is nothing to loseD. Lemons arent the highest in vitamin CE. While some people drink it simply because of its tasteF.
