Often,we love food because we have 66memories associated with it.My mom's mashed potatoes()remind me of holiday joy and past reunions with extended family.We are also drawn to foods we were given early in life by people who cared for us,which can help explain our 67 love for chicken noodle soup,which many parents feed their sick children to make them feel better.

A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),based on extensive satellite photographs and published in the journal Nature Sustainability,has revealed that the two countries with the world's biggest populations are also responsibte for the largest increase in greenness. Since 2000,the planet's green leaf area has increased by 5 percent,or over 2 million square miles. That's an area equivalent to the sum total of the Amazon rainforests,NASA says.But researchers stressed that the new greenery does not neutralize deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystems elsewhere. A third of the leaf increase is thanks to China and India,due to the implementation of major tree-planting projects alongside a vast increase in agriculture. Using the data from a NASA sensor,researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area,despite possessing only 6.6 percent of the world's vegetated area () Forests account for 42 percent of that increase,while croplands make up a further 32 percent.China's increase in forest area is the result of forest preservation and expansion programs,NASA said,established to fight against the impacts of climate change,air pollution and soil erosion(水土流失).India has contributed a further 6.8 percent rise in green leaf area,with 82 percent from croplands and 4.4 percent from forests. Rama Nemani,a co-author of the study and a researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center,said in a statement,"When the greening of the Earth was first observed,we thought it was due to a warmer,wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,leading to more leaf growth in northern forests,for instance.""Now,with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales.we see that humans are also contributing,"Nemani said."This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems,which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action." Thomas Pugh,a professor at the University of Birmingham's School of Geography,Earth and Environmental Sciences,said the NASA report expands scientists'understanding of the causes behind global greening.But he also cautioned that a direct line cannot be drawn between an increase in global greening and a decrease in negative impacts of climate change. 83.The passage mainly tells us that A.China and India have the world's largest green leaf areas B.China and India are the lead role players in global greening C.our planet is experiencing a clmate crisis despite human efforts D.our planet is getting greener due to the joint efforts of the world 84.What can be learned about China and India? A.The area of croplands in India is larger than that in China. B.India's rise in leaf area is largely due to its forestry program. C.They both show a greater increase in forests than in croplands. 第9页，共11页 D.China boasts twenty-five percent of the global rise in leaf area. 85.According to Rama Nemani,their new findings are A.unexpected but significant B.surprising but valueless C.predictable but disappointing D.uncontrollable but inspiring 86.What can be inferted from the passage? A.There is an indirect link between global greening and climate change. B.The new greenery does not have any positive effect on the global climate. C.The gain in greenness does not make up for the damage from loss of leaf area. D.The increase in greening reduces the deforestation rate and its impact globally. Section C(8分) Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.Here we show how this work translates to humans. B.Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep. C.The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. D.Mot surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away,it persisted E.The results are available in the Feb.13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. F.Total nightly sleep is a potentially important and underappreciated behavior supporting academic achievement. Nightly Sleep Is Key to Student Success For young adults,college is a time of transition.It may be the first time students have the freedom to determine how to spend their time,but this freedom comes with competing interests from academics, social events and even sleep. A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students'end-of-semester grade point average (GPA).Using sleep trackers,they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night,but negative outcomes built up when students received less than six hours of sleep a night. 87 David Creswell,the William S.Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences,led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA. "Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,"said Creswell. 88 The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term.Lack of sleep may be hurting students'ability to learn in their college classrooms." 89 The researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.In addition,each hour of sleep lost corresponded to(相对应)aO.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA. 第10页，共11页
