人与自然—银杏树的历史
说明文
特点、传播以及现状
On the streets of Manhattan and Washington,
DC,in neighborhoods in Seoul and parks in
Paris,ginkgo((银杏)trees are losing their
leaves in reaction to the first gust of cold winter
air.This leaf drop,gradual at first,and then
sudden,carpets streets with golden,fan-shaped
leaves.Scientists are documenting evidence of
the event happening later and later,a possible
indication of climate change.But the story of
ginkgos is not the familiar one of human
carelessness with nature.
Thanks to fossils found in North Dakota,
scientists found a ginkgo has genetically similar
ancestors dating back 170 million years to the
Jurassic Period."It almost went extinct.Then
humans rescued it and spread it around the world.
It's such a great evolutionary(进化的)and
cultural story,"says Peter Crane,a ginkgo expert.
One theory for the decline of the ginkgo
species began 130 million years ago,when
flowering plants began spreading.They grew
faster and attracted more pollinators(传粉者)
than ginkgos."It's possible that ginkgos were
elbowed out of the way,"says Crane.Already
competing to survive,ginkgos began to disappear
during a time of global cooling that began around
66 million years ago.By the time the last ice
age ended 11,000 years ago,the remaining
survivors were found in China.
Ginkgo seeds are smelly."My guess is that
they were eaten by animals that liked smelly
things.They then passed through their body and

grew."Crane says.Those same seeds may have
helped ginkgos find favor with humans 1,000
years ago.Once cleaned of their outer layer,
ginkgo seeds are safe to eat.It's then,when the
trees had long since disappeared elsewhere,that
people in China may have begun planting them
and eating their seeds.Then gradually ginkgos
spread across the world.Now it's seemingly
naturally resistant to insects and high levels of
air pollution.
Crane isn't worried about its future,though.
The popularity of the species will help it
survive."Though its status in the wild may be
difficult to access,it's a plant that's unlikely to
ever go extinct,"he says.
1.What may have caused the further delay of
ginkgo's leaf drop?
A.The colder weather in winter.
B.The protection from city councils.
C.The global warming phenomenon.
D.The careless interaction with humans.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The reasons why ginkgos almost died out.
B.The advantages of ginkgos over other plants.
C.The theories of experts for multiplying ginkgos.
D.The competition between various flowering
plants.
3.What might have contributed to ginkgos'survival?
A.Their eatable seeds.
B.Their unpleasant smell.
C.The natural evolution.
D.The careful planting.
4.How does Crane feel about ginkgos'future?
A.Worried.
B.Optimistic.
C.Uncertain.
D.Hopeless.

宝的奖励机制进行的环保行为
For the past two months,Mandy Chen,a
second-year student at Beijing University of
Technology,has been posting photos of herself
to Taobao,posing with a reusable cup,climbing
stairs and switching off lights.1 Taobao's
AI algorithm(算法)calculates that Chen'suse
of a reusable cup reduced 15.7 grams of carbon
emissions(排放),while her choice to take the
stairs instead of the lift resulted in a reduction of
19.5 grams.2
After seven days of posting her photos,
Chen exchanged the points for a dozen of
biodegradable rubbish bags from Taobao.
Everyone can get an endless supply of free trash
bags if they keep going,according to Chen.3
Chen uses Carbon88,a platform launched
last August by Alibaba Group Holding,to help
more than 800 million users on Taobao adopt a
sustainable lifestyle.The platform rewards
users for over 70 low-carbon behaviors.4
It also recommends products that it considers
environmentally sustainable,and gives users
points for buying them.
5 "I didn't know that my actions could
produce such carbon reduction,"Chen said.
"Now I feel good for what I'm doing to make this
world a tiny bit better.We as a part of society
can call for more systemic changes.
A.It encourages them to reduce their carbon
footprint.
B.And her efforts to save electricity prevented
65.50gams.
C.It's a valuable addition to current carbon-
reduction policies.
D.Carbon reduction has helped increase
Chen's environmental awareness.
E.Within minutes,she receives a dozen
points from the app as a reward.
F.They range from taking public transport
to shopping of second-hand items.
G.She is now saving points for something
better,like snacks and water bottles.
