Sylvia Earle is called a “Hero for the Planet” by Time magazine, who has led more than a hundred
expeditions（探险）, spent more than 7, 000 hours underwater and set a record for solo diving in 1, 00-metre
depths.
Earle describes her first meeting with the ocean, “I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave. The
ocean certainly got my attention! And since then, life in the ocean has fired my imagination.”
Former chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration（NOAA）in the USA, Earle is
the founder of Deep Ocean Exploration and Research Inc. and chair of Google Ocean, among many other roles.
Her special focus is on developing a global network of areas on the land and in the ocean to safeguard the living
systems that provide the foundations of global processes. She explains, “When I first went to the Gulf of Mexico
in the 1950s, the blue sea appeared to be too wild to be harmed by anything that people could do. Then, in mere
decades, the blue wilderness disappeared. By the end of the 20th century, up to 90 percent of the sharks, whales,
and many other large creatures that lived in the Gulf for millions of years had disappeared due to overfishing and
pollution.”
Earle explains that the ocean is the cornerstone（基石）of our life support system and the cornerstone of the
ocean’s life support system is life in the ocean. The ocean provides us with oxygen. Take away the ocean and we
don’t have a planet that works.
Despite all of the problems seen in the Gulf of Mexico, Earle says, “I’ve found reasons for hope in clear, deep
water far offshore from the mouth of the Mississippi River. It is full of life. Large areas of the Gulf have escaped
damage.”

24. What started Earle’s interest in the ocean?
A. Her love for diving.
B. Her childhood experience.
C. Her childhood ambition.
D. Her strong responsibility.
25. What is Earle working at now?
A. Improving her diving skills.
B. Exploring the Mississippi River.
C. Becoming a scientist of NOAA.
D. Carrying out ocean conservation.
26. Why does Earle mention the Gulf of Mexico in Paragraph 3?
A. To inform us of an unforgettable trip.
B. To prove the ocean is the basis of our planet.
C. To show the severe condition of the oceans.
D. To analyze the cause of the creatures’ disappearance.
27. How does Earle feel about the future condition of the ocean?
A. Optimistic. B. Content. C. Worried. D. Amazed.

Most of Earth’s freshwater sits underground. Worldwide, about 70 percent of the groundwater drawn to the
surface goes for farming. But surface waters，rivers， and streams come from groundwater, too. Drawing too
much groundwater over a short time can be harmful. Natural waterways can begin to empty. And that can hurt
freshwater ecosystems. Scientists consider this a tipping point when small actions can begin making unusually big
differences.
A new study has found that 15 to 21 percent of tapped water（自来水）areas have reached this sort of tipping
point. Most of those tapped rivers and streams are in dry areas. Farmers in these areas use groundwater to water
their crops. At present drawing rates, the study predicts that 42 to 79 percent of water areas around the world
where groundwater is drawn up for use at the surface will reach tipping points by 2050.
A healthy groundwater aquifer（含水层）protects ecosystems against seasonal ups and downs in the use of
water. That provides stability for area plants and animals. But if too much groundwater is drawn up from below,
surface waters will begin to flow into the aquifer, which can harm what are living in rivers and streams.
De Graaf and the study team set up a computer model. It linked groundwater drawing and water flows within
rivers. The model covered fifty years, from 1960 to 2010. Then the researchers used climate forecasts to help the
model predict what might happen in future years. Throughout, they kept groundwater drawing rates sustainable.
More than half of drawn water areas are likely to cross this ecological tipping point before 2050, the model finds.
“We need to be thinking about this now, not in 10 years,” De Graaf says. “Our study shows us where to target
more sustainable efforts.”
28. What does the “tipping point” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. End point.
B. Breaking point.
C. Freezing point.
D. Boiling point.
29. Which of the following causes the “tipping point”?
A. Water pollution.
B. Overdrawing groundwater.
C. Increasing population.
D. Climate change.
30. What is the part the groundwater plays in the environment?
第 4 页 （共 8 页）
 A. Keeping the stability of natural water.
B. Protecting ecosystems from pollution.
C. Clearing surface waters to be drinkable.
D. Providing stability for the local economy.
31. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. They predicted the result based on the old data.
B. They happened to work out the result.
C. They measured all the groundwater and surface water.
D. They did questionnaire surveys on the water information.

Ginkgo biloba（银杏）trees are living fossils（化石）, like time travelers from the Triassic Period. The oldest
of their species date back more than 200 million years, and might be the most ancient tree species alive today.
Because ginkgo trees haven’t changed much in all that time, they’re in a unique position to help us learn what
Earth was like many millions of years ago-and what it might be like in the coming centuries. The long continuity
of ginkgos makes it easier for scientists to compare modern ginkgo trees with prehistoric remains, which can show
how Earth’s atmosphere has changed naturally over time, and how today’s sped-up climate change might affect
plant life in the near future.
That’s the idea behind the Smithsonian Institution’s Fossil Atmospheres project, which is using modern and
ancient ginkgo leaves to build a clearer record of atmospheric changes through time. In one part of the project,
researchers are growing ginkgo trees in greenhouses with varying levels of carbon dioxide, then studying how
different CO2 levels affect cells in the leaves. With this data, they explain, “We should be able to pick up a fossil
ginkgo leaf and know the composition of the air in which it grew.”
For the other part of the project, researchers are relying on help from citizen scientists. This includes a
long-term component as well as one that only runs through August.
This project’s main goal is to clarify the relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and two kinds of cells
in ginkgo leaves. Once that’s fully understood, fossilized ginkgo leaves should provide more reliable climate
proxies（指标）, the researchers explain, a term for data sources that can show details about climates of the distant
past.
In the greenhouse experiment, the researchers are growing 15 ginkgo trees at various CO2 levels. As they
monitor those leaves, though, they're also seeking a much wider dataset beyond one group of just 15 trees. And
that's where citizen science comes in.

32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Ginkgo trees are important in studying the earth.
B. Ginkgo trees can tell us a lot about the weather before.
C. Ginkgo trees remain almost the same during history.
D. Ginkgo trees change as the weather changes.
33. What makes ginkgo trees special?
A. They are of great medical value.
B. They can absorb the most carbon dioxide.
C. They changed little during millions of years.
D. They are extremely sensitive to climate change.
34. What can be inferred about the Fossil Atmospheres project?
A. It is carried out only in greenhouses.
B. It needs citizen scientists to participate.
C. It aims to measure atmospheric CO2 levels.
D. It relies on climate proxies to record climate change.

35. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. The task of citizen scientists.
B. The future of citizen science.
C. The research into citizen science.
D. The contributions of citizen scientists.

A conversation is a meeting of two unique minds, and every person has something of value to share. Then
what are the secrets of adding value to our daily casual conversations?
36
It’s easy to see when someone is only excited about hearing his own voice and it makes you doubt whether
he’s listening to anyone else s thoughts. If you have something valuable to say, five minutes of listening won’t
change that. What the other person says may not only change your original thoughts. 37 .
Ask a few questions
Another way to add value to a conversation is to ask questions. 38 . Questions don’t have to be smart.
If someone told you about his new dog, something as simple as “How have the kids reacted?” “can allow him to
spend an extra minute explaining what the change has meant to him.
Offer proper suggestions
This is a step a lot of people miss. 39 For example, if the other person mentions an ability or
connection you have but isn’t sure how he could make use of it, feel free to offer suggestions about how you could
see it playing out. As you start focusing on how you can add value to others, you’ll begin to build deep, lasting
relationships.
Ask what you can do to help
There are two sides to this coin. You’ll immediately stand out in a crowd if you offer to help someone. But
make sure you’re truly able to deliver on your promise. You’ll build a valuable relationship if you offer to help
and follow through.
40 . But it takes time to create good conversational habits. Pick one tip from the list and focus on
practicing it in your daily conversations. You’ll never regret the time you take to create habits that bring value and
meaning to your conversations with others.
A. It also can make your talk more valuable.
B. Don’t get too absorbed in “your moment”.
C. As you ask questions, keep the key points in mind.
D. Valuable conversations lead to meaningful relationships.
E. Ask at least one question before moving on to a new topic.
F. They will remember that you made the effort to help them.
G. But it’s very important in adding value to the conversation.
