They provide a place for people to re

11、lax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can

12、 absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the suns heat and release it m

13、uch more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. How

14、ever, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some

15、 rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投資) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop

16、gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide

17、fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.1、The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _.Atakes up Bgives outCcarries away Dbreathes in2、Which of the followin

DMore building materials.3、When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?AThey make people much happier.BThey provide more benefits from urban parks.CThey help to

DObjective.22（8分） According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces fr

20、om photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journa

21、l Royal Society; Open Science, show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able

22、 to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percentthe same rate at which a humans ability to perform the same task declines,“Anyone who has spent time working with she

23、ep will know that they are intelligent and individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers.” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “Weve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, close to those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces i

24、s one of his most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntingtons disease, affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us unde

25、rstand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingtons disease that develop over a long time and affect cognitive (認(rèn)識的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.1、According to the new research, whats unusual about sheep?AThey have large brains.BThey c

I am one of them a Cambridge finalist, attempting to deal with the Oxbridge stress in the only way I know: caffeine hits and reclusion（隱遁生活）. Whether you love or hate Oxbridge, the fact that these two universities pro

47、vide unique learning environments is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, students have access to some of the best education in the world; on the other hand, the pressure that comes with this can prove damaging to them and cant be swept under the carpet for they have to face it eventu

48、ally.Many Cambridge students find themselves trapped in a pressure of expectation, whether this comes from their supervisors or tutors, their director of studies or even from themselves. The drive towards achievement is either the key to success or to possible serious personal issues, as Mark Phippe

49、n, head of the University of Cambridges Counseling Service said, “There are plenty of perfectionists in Cambridge, but it can work two ways: it can push them to accomplish and to achieve, or it can get out of hand, disabling them.”Many students say that they cant handle it any more while working in

50、certain libraries which are filled with other students hard at work. The competition and paranoia（ 多 疑 ） are more common than what we realize or question: you can feel as if you are being judged for how much time you spend on Facebook or YouTube, or how little time you spend reading.Too many student

51、s feel almost frustrated by the pressure to achieve but feel unable to speak about it. As everyone seems to be coping, they must also pretend to cope too. The only thing students have: tutors and supervisors regularly encourage students to avoid extracurricular activities, urging them to focus on th

52、eir studies to such an extent that many find it hard to handle it. One current Cambridge tutor has been known for checking up on the activities of students involved in extracurricular theatre by searching for them on the website, which details who is involved in certain plays each term just in case

53、it affects the students work output.Problems arise when the pressure produces mental health issues. Problems have been brought to attention in articles primarily from Oxfords Cherwell and Cambridges The Tab. The attention has made the Cambridge University Student Union set up Students Deserve Better

54、 a campaign to handle complaints about supervisors and tutors lacking the ability to provide proper spiritual support. “When I told my supervisor about my problems with anxiety and therefore about my worries surrounding the workload she was suggesting, she said that I would probably feel less anxiou

Their responses only worsened any feelings I had concerning my final year.”Phippen said, “At this point the exams seem like the most important thing in the wor

56、ld. However, two years down the line youll realize that the exams you did at university arent very important at all, as what then becomes more important is what you have done within those two years afterwards. Finalist exams can become depressing for students studying at any university. All you must

57、 remember is that you are not alone and you are good enough, and that a few years down the line, your ability to recount the plots of Euripides nineteen plays will no longer matter. So why worry?”1、The underlined part “be swept under the carpet” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.Abe covere
