They said plants had been the key object of study be cause their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four c ontinents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated（低估）the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance — for both leafing and flo wering — that results from temperature increases,” the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it sai d.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the bas e of the food chain, using photosynthesis（光合作用）to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the plan et.Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has rise n by about 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten year s since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions（排放）of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to preve nt the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century — a point sci entists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.57. What is the key information the author wants to give in Pa ragraph 1?A. Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem.B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ exp ectation.C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patt erns.D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of we ather.58. We can learn from the study published on the Nature web site that ______.A. plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change59.

It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course, it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young mento go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardlylet them leave the camp. Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn't work so a young officer, Mr Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I'm sorry, sir，” said the first soldier. “I left t he town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.” And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It wasthe last soldier's turn. He said，“ I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but ...”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out，“If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you atonce！”“No, no, sir, ” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horseswere in its way！”语篇解读：本文讲述了一个九位士兵如何为自己喝醉酒而没有按时返回军营找借口开脱的幽默故事。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour卓别林(Charlie Chaplin,1889年4月16日～1977年12月25日)著名喜剧电影演员、导演、制片人。

20世纪最卓越的喜剧电影大师、伟大的批判现实主义艺术家、反法西斯的和平、民主战士。

卓别林比任何人都更好地表现了我们时代的甘苦，半个世纪以来，他以他的丰富的想象力融合了所有人的欢笑和泪水，使人们对他的天赋赞叹不已。

————————————————————————————My favourite English teacher could draw humour out of the driest material.We weren't forced to learn.He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary，Joseph Addison's essays，and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious，even at eight o'clock in the morning.The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own，some of which seemed dead，but the second time，after his explanation，I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humour.The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments.I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favourite English teacher also made people laugh.Some students found him wonderfully funny.Many others did not.He assigned journals over a sixweek period，to be written every day.At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas，short stories，reactions to what we had read，and so on.Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals.Mine was passed to Joe，that class clown，who always behaved in a funny or silly way.He saw it fit to make a joke of and said，“This writing isn't fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.”Our teacher laughed at that funny remark.It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.So what makes the difference？Humour is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have.It can make students and readers excited about literature and writing，or it can tear them apart.It is true that humour is either productive or counterproductive and selfdefeating.根据文章内容判断正(T)误(F)。
