27、al. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didnt want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought

28、of others before herself a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery(行賄) was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, Ill pay you for your time.”She offered an insincer

29、e smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table.

34、ting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I cant break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words Hows the baby？come out on their own. It holds me up.

35、It holds him up. So why cant I stop it？The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me.

45、） Tiny microbes(微生物) are at the heart of a new agricultural technique to manage harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Res

46、earchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from t

47、he earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone,

48、 the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and

49、India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work

50、was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburghs School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and

51、 easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”1、The passage is mainly introducing _.Asome useful natural fungi and bacteriaBa new way to deal with greenhouse gasCa newly-found tree in West AfricaDthe soil-enriching limestone cre

52、ated by scientists2、Which of the following is True about tiny microbes?AMost tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.BCO2 can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.CThe more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.DTiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in spec

53、ial soil.3、What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?ACarbon dioxide.BCarbon.CSoil.DLimestone.4、According to the passage, what can we infer?AThe action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.BResearchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for thr

54、ee years.CResearchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem.DWest Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.5、According to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method _.Acan be used to improve the farming landBcan save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsChas been popularized i
