In 2014 and 2015,a Gallup World Poll surveyed people m 119 countries. A group of scientists analyzed how people answered two of the questions: How much do you know about global warming,and how serious was it to you and your family? And they were surprised.
Most scientists think the world's climate changing fast,yet many people do not share the scientists,view.What's more,how people responded depended on various reasons. These included where people livd,how;many years they'd gone to school,how much money they earned,their gender — even things such as how polluted the air was in the place where they lived. It's the first time those have been studied for their possible link to people' s thoughts on climate change.
Many people were not even aware of global warming. Most people in Africa and the Middle East had!never heard of the concept. In contrast,people in the wealthier and more highly educated nations were quite familiar with global warming. Among people who were : aware of global warming,those in the poorer nations i tended to judge it as a far bigger threat. And in Latin Amenca and Europe people were more likely to see global warming as a bigger menace (威脅) when they understood the role that humans have played in that : warming. In Africa people were more likely to see :
climate change as a risk if it was tied to local temperatures or air pollution.
“To our knowledge,this is the first and only truly global study,”according to the study's lead author Lee.; Lee says the new analysis indicates that there's still much work to do to get the word out about global warming. Indeed,helping people in different parts of the globe understand it may require explaining the data and risks in;very different ways. Those explanations might have to differ from one neighboring country to another.
5. What surprises scientists according to the text?
A. People's different opinions on climate change.
B. Different causes of global warming.
C. The seriousness of global warming.
D. The fast pace of climate change. t
6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?
A. Africa has suffered severe air pollution.
B. In Europe most people have studied climate change.
C. Most people knew about the reasons for global;warming.
D. Highly educated people were more aware of global wanning.
7. What does Lee learn from the research findings?
A. It takes more effort to popularize global warming.
B. Global warming will need more data to prove.
C. Global warming puts people at great risk.
D. It's difficult to stop global warming.
8. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A lesson plan. B. A news report.
C. A fashion magazine. D. A tourist guidebook.
B篇
不同地方的人們對全球變暖這個問題的看法和態(tài)度是不一樣的。

Brandon Paulin is the top official in the town of Indian Head even though he is only 19 years old. Mr. Paulin started the job in May,and his first goal is to recover the business in the town. The area includes small businesses,old homes on tree-lined streets,and new townhouses along the highway. It is about an hour’ s drive to Washington. About'4,000 people live there. But on the way to the capital,the highway passes the remains of closed businesses. The shops failed largely because of competition from shopping centers in larger cities.
Mr. Paulin says when some people drive into Indian Head and see the empty buildings,they just turn around and leave. He hopes to return the town to a friendly, successful place where people want to live and visit. “Many years ago,Indian Head was a booming town,and that's what I want to get back,“he said.
Right now,people who own the old empty buildings are permitted to use their p’rapeW/es (財產(chǎn)) to reduce their taxes. Mr. Paulin wants to change the situation. He plans to charge owners a fee for their empty buildings,and to increase the cost every year. Only in that way will owners hurry to establish a new business. The owner of a local food store,Kelly Murphy, says, “Mr. Paulin's age doesn’t bother me. I know he's excited,and when we get around,him,we feel excited,too. We haven’t felt like that for many years in this town."
Mr. Paulin began participating in city politics when he was ten years old. At that time,he urged town officials to put on signs urging drivers to be aware of pedestrians. Mr. Paulin succeeded. Since then,he has been involved in the town government.
As a mayor,Mr. Paulin earns $6,000 a year. In comparison ,most U.S. legislators (立法委員) earn an average salary of about $40,000 a year. Mr. Paulin lives at home and takes college classes online. His mother,Wendy Paulin,says her soil accepts challenges and works on problems until he has a solution.

Lots of students do experiments on plants for their science projects. Scientists do this as well. Have you ever heard of a lie detector? It is something that police can use to figure out if you are lying or not. The machine can feel the energy in your body. If your energy moves fast,it shows you are nervous and may be lying. If it is slow and steady,it shows you are relaxed and probably honest.
Scientists attached these same machines to plants,not to see if they are lying of course,but to see what makes them nervous,what makes them calm,and what makes them excited. They found many interesting things. First,they discovered when live fish were being cut up or live lobsters(龍蝦) were being boiled,the plants got very upset. They seemed to respond to the fear of the living seacreatures.
Besides,scientists found the plants actually got excited when their owners were coming home. What was even more interesting was that the plants got very excited 'when the owners stepped into the room. It seemed that the plants were so connected with their owners that they could pick up their owners’ intention to come home.
Plants also seemed not to like to be cut. When the owners pulled out a pair of scissors to cut them,they got upset. Scientists tried to frighten the plants and pretended they were going to cut them,but the plants did not get nervous in that case at all. It was as if they could read the owners’ mind. So,when taking care of your plants,remember that they are sensitive and smart.

Elephants have strong defenses against cancer that can prevent it forming,say scientists. They were trying to explain why the animals have lower levels of cancer than would be expected considering their size.
People think that every cell can become cancerous,so the more of them you have,the more likely you are to get cancer. So if an elephant has 100 times as many cells as a person,then it should be 100 times more likely to have the disease. And yet the analysis showed only 5% of elephants die from cancer compared to up to 25% of people.
The scientists turned to elephants’ DNA. Cancer is caused by mutations (變異) in a ceir s DNA that produce faulty instructions leading to (遏制不住的) growth. But animals also have “smoke alarms” that detect the damage and lead to the cell being repaired or killed. One of these alarms is called TP53,and while humans have one TP53 gene,elephants have 20.As a result,elephants seem far keener to kill off cells.
But Mel Greaves,from the Institute of Cancer Research in London,said, “We should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer. In terms of adaptive mechanisms (機(jī)制) against cancer we have the same as chimps,but a lot more humans get cancer than chimps. I think the answer is that humans are completely unique as a species in having very rapid social evolution (進(jìn)化) in a short period of time." He pointed to the rise of unhealthy,cancer-causing behavior,such as obesity and sunbathing. “You’ve never seen an elephant smoke!” he added.
In an evolutionary sense, “success” is judged by the number of kids you have rather than how long you live. Elephants have the greatest reproductive success towards the end of their lives,while humans can live for decades after we are no longer able to getting pregnant. It means there is little evolutionary pressure in humans to develop ways of preventing cancer in old age.
9. What is the text mainly about? ,
A. When elephants will get ill.
B. How elephants live a long life.
C. What elephants do when having cancer.
D. Why elephants have slight chances of getting cancer.
10. Why are elephants keener to kill off cells compared with humans?
A. They are larger in size.
B. They have a unique alarm.
C. They have more TP53 genes.
D. They have healthier eating habits.
11. In the eyes of Greaves, .
A. chimps get more cancer than humans
B. humans* unhealthy behavior increases cancer risk
C. chimps have better adaptive mechanisms than humans
D. elephants have more rapid social evolution than chimps
12. When elephants become old,they will .
A. fall into bad habits
B. suffer from various diseases
C. go on producing baby elephants
D. have less evolutionary pressure

Last week,we took part in a press conference at NASA’s Johnson Space Center promoting the release of The Martian movie. We spoke with several NASA officials and an astronaut about their plans to help humans set foot on Mars. They all shared with us the big challenges ahead in order to accomplish that. However,it is something they take seriously,and are determined to achieve.
In an interview at Space Center Houston,The Martian producer Aditya Sood told us the experience of working on the movie with NASA employees was amazing. He said he enjoyed interacting with folks who tried to solve a lot of difficult problems every day. We got an idea of what Sood was talking about when we interviewed some of the scientists responsible for getting humans to Mars.
Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green told us that getting humans on the surface of Mars in 2035 is probably too ambitious. They are actually looking to get a “human presence in the neighborhood” by the 2030s,meaning in Mars* orbit. Their goal for landing on Mars is for the 2040s or 50s.
The spacecraft that will take humans to Mars will be the Orion. It is not quite as futuristic-looking as the spaceship in The Martian. In fact,the Orion looks more like the spacecraft that took us to the moon. However,according to their website ,“NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before."
When asked if they will really be ready to go to Mars in the 2030sr Stu McClung,the manager of Mechanical,Pyrotechnic,Landing and Recover Systems,told us with confidence and pride,MMy capsule will be ready!” Although,he did make that statement with a bit of a wry smile(苦笑) .That is because he adfnits they still have a lot to figure out.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The press conference.
B. Taking humans to Mars.
C. The release of The Martian.
D. Speaking with NASA officials.
10. After interviewing some scientists,the author realized that.
A. Aditya Sood had been lying
B. making The Martian wasn't so difficult
C. working with NASA employees was successful
D. NASA employees really faced a lot of challenges
11. What does Jim Green think they can achieve by the 2030s?
A. Helping humans land on Mars.
B. Taking humans into Mars,orbit.
C. Finding the landing spot on Mars.
D. Learning about the neighborhood of Mars.
12. What do we know about the Orion?
A. * It can be seen in The Martian.
B. It once landed on the moon.
C. It has an amazing look.
D. It will land on Mars.
