31、ling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humour, but sadly reading isnt one of them. I can happily spend a whole day curled up with a book but my dad cant read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and

32、 documents for work, but not books. I think that sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good, way to relax. Giving yourself a goal or a challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something, so why not try to create a new habit of reading?I know lots of people would rather rela

33、x on their computers or in front of the TV.

41、nside. But that is the case, according to a worldwide survey of more than 200 types of trees. Researchers studied the inner part of the trees and found that most dont have a built-in safety net吐hat would allow them to survive a serious drought.I think this is a really big deal. ecologist David Bresh

42、ears said. He says it and other studies keep pointing to: Whoa, our forests are really fragile.Studies like this one are particularly worrying about climate change. The average temperature of the planet is rising. Scientists predict that warming will cause changes in rainfall patterns. That could le

43、ad to longer, more severe droughts in many regions around the world. As a result, the trees that now grow there could face a serious threat.When drought strikes, trees begin to fail in the xylem(木质部), special tissue made of many tiny, strawlike tubes. This tissue makes it possible for a tree to draw

44、 water from the ground and deliver it to the leaves. During times of drought, tiny air bubbles can develop in the tubes. Too many bubbles block the flow of waterand lead to certain death for the tree.Brendan Choat, a plant physiologist, worked on the new study along with 23 other researchers. All to

45、gether the scientists studied 226 tree species in 81 different sites around the world. Choat said that this study is the first to look at all forest types and find so many species living on the edge. Of the 226 different types of trees Choat and his colleagues studied, 70 percent lived close to the

46、point where a serious drought would stop water transport.

49、ind out why pines and firs are strong.D. Study the trees living on the edge of death.65. What can be the best title of the text?A. Serious drought is a threat to most treesB. Trees face death due to lack of protectionC. Global warming reduces the number of treesD. Trees reflect the change of the glo

50、bal climateDLike a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E-books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random

51、House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of E-readers are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing c-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.

52、Unlike printed hooks, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. The tiles disappear from the device when they are due.E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的)e-book f

53、ormats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides E-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrives global market dominance, as the company can control fees and conditions. Publ

54、ishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the worlds biggest online bookseller, last year. Owners of Amazons Kindle E-reader who want to borrow E-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazons website, where they must use their Amazon accounts to secure a loan.According to Pew,

55、an opinion researcher, library users are perfect for market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon Introduced its Kindle Owners Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and tha

56、t libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey, which found that more than half of Americans with library-cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.66. It can be inferred from paragraph I that .A. libraries and publishers face the same proble

57、m of e-books piracyB. libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishersC. most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with librariesD. several big publishers have sold E-books to libraries67. Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing?A. Book sales may dro

58、p sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing.B. There are lots of different and incompatible E-book formats available.C. There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.D. E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly.68. What do we learn about Over Drive

59、?A. It has the privilege to offer readers various brands of E-readers.B. It distributes E-books and audio files to publishers.C. Its market control threatens publishers and libraries.D. It devotes itself to improving conditions of e-book market.69. We can learn from the passage that .A. E-books can

60、be lent at libraries as many times as you likeB. OverDrive distributes E-books and audio files to publishersC. over half of Americans are borrowing E-books from librariesD. Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers70. What is the best title for the text?A. The Hopeful Future of Publishing Bu

63、ter that young Morse first had the desire to bridge space with flying words. This desire was later to give the world the electric telegraph.Samuel returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe. Morse completed an oil painting The House of Representatives, expecting that this wo

64、uld bring him fame. But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits. He was often close to poverty during his career as an artist.During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a

65、 scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication. During the rest of the voyage he worked excitedly on drawings for his plan. After his arrival at home, he abandoned hi

66、s artistic career to give his full attention to the project.Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent on The American Electromagnetic Telegraph. Finally, in 1843 the United States Congress p
