Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily
diaries from parents and teens from151 families.Participating teens were in
the 9th and 10th grades,and ranged from 13 to 16 years old.By analyzing
these diaries,the researchers could connect parents'displays of warmth
with daily fluctuations()in how loved their teens were feeling."The
daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical
suggestions for daily life,"says Beata Ujvari,who was not involved in the
study.
Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship the
researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when
parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection,
understanding,or praise.Likewise,teens reported feeling less loved on
days when parents reported more conflicts than usual.More importantly,
the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts
by showing their teens warmth.In other words,on days when parents were
warm,high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt.
To weaken conflicts'impact,warmth had to be shown on the same
day,but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related,the
researchers said.
"Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with
their children,"said John Coffey,the study's lead author,"but our study
suggests conflicts are manageable.
The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily
fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships.
How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most
important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term,said the
researchers.
"The study findings are particularly useful right now,"added Coffey,
"because parents and their children are spending much time together.
Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and
ensure children feel loved.

A.investigate the daily conflicts between parents and teens

In a heartwarming video that has gone viral,a herd of elephants can be
seen reuniting and greeting their caretaker after 14 months at a shelter in
Thailand.It's for some reason that animals are said to be loyal(忠诚的)
companions to humans and any animal lover will tell you that there's
something indescribable and unique about them.If anyone needed any more
proof of their undying loyalty,this should serve as a good example.

cancer.The incident,which happened in Kottayam,saw the elephant
named Pallat Brahmadathan paying last respects to his master
Omanachettan,who had cared him for nearly a quarter of a century.The
emotional moment left the entire gathering teary-eyed.
According to local reports,Omanachettan was known for his love for
elephants and had been taking care of them for over six decades.Learning
about the condition of Omanachettan,the owner of the elephant had taken
the animal to pay last respects to his mahout.The emotional scenes occurred

In its eight centuries the Crouch Oak of Addlestone in Surrey has
gained many titles.It is known as the Queen Elizabeth I Picnic Tree after a
story that she stopped there for a meal once.It is known as Wycliffe's Oak
after John Wycliffe chose it as shelter during sermons ()Now it is
hoping for yet another title:tree of the year 2023.
The oak,which has survived not merely Baptist preaching but also
attacks,is one of 13 trees shortlisted by the Woodland Trust,which is now
accepting votes in its annual competition.
The purpose of the contest is to highlight special trees,along with
their role in our culture.This year the charity has focused on urban trees,
in part because some remain under threat from local councils.
"Ancient trees in towns and cities are vital for the health of nature,
people and planet,Naomi Tilley,from the Woodland Trust,said."They
give thousands of urban wildlife species essential life support,boost the
UK's biodiversity and bring countless health and wellbeing benefits to
communities.But most ancient trees aren't protected by law and those in
urban areas are particularly vulnerable,like one of this year's nominees(
名),which narrowly escaped being cut down by Sheffield city council..”
That tree is the Chelsea Road elm().Some 60 million elms were
lost to Dutch elm disease,but this one was one of fewer than 1,000 that
were resistant.But in 2017,when Sheffield engaged in a controversial(
tree-cutting plan,its 2.8 m-girth trunk was marked for removal.It
was only saved when local campaigners spotted the eggs of a butterfly in its
branches,meaning that it provided a habitat for a threatened species.
9.What is the goal of the annual competition organized by the Woodland
Trust?
A.To find the oldest tree in the UK.
B.To stress special trees and their role in our culture.
C.To raise public awareness of the importance of ancient trees.
D.To protect ancient trees from being cut down by local councils.
10.What does the underlined word "vulnerable"in Paragraph 4 probably
mean?
A.Weak.
B.Defensive.
C.Common.
D.Dominant.
11.Why was the Chelsea Road elm marked for removal?
A.It was infected with Dutch elm disease.
B.It was involved in a tree-cutting plan.
C.It was dangerous for the eggs of a butterfly.
D.It didn't provide habitats for a threatened species.
12.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The Crouch Oak is competing to become tree of the year 2023.
B.Ancient trees in urban areas are important for the environment.
C.Tree of year contest highlights treasures at risk of being cut down.
D.The Chelsea Road elm was saved thanks to local campaigners'efforts.

A new study,led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst,reveals
that the wealthiest Americans,those whose income places them in the top
10%of earners,are responsible for 40%of the nation's total greenhouse
gas emissions(排放).
More than that,they also discovered that the top 1%of earners alone
generate 15-17%of the nation's emissions.In general,white,non-
Spanish-speaking households had the highest emission-linked income and
black households the lowest.Emissions tended to increase with age,
peaking with the 45-54 age group,before declining.
Scientists and environmentalists have long known that consumption-
the amount and kind of food we eat,the vehicles we drive and all the stuff
we buy-is closely linked to greenhouse gas emission.Traditional
environmental policy has then sought to either limit consumption or guide it
into more environmentally friendly approaches:replacing red meat with
plant-based diets or replacing a gas-car with an electric vehicle.
"But,"says Jared Starr,a sustainability scientist at UMass Amherst
高考总复习·周测阶梯卷·英语(七)P7一2
and the lead author of the new study,"consumption-based approaches to
limiting greenhouse gas emissions have downsides.They unfairly punish
the poor while having little impact on the extremely wealthy,who tend to
save and invest(投s资)a large share of their income.”
"Consumption-based approaches miss something important:carbon
pollution generates income,but when that income is reinvested into stocks
()rather than spent on necessities,it isn't subject to a consumption-
based carbon tax,"Jared continued.
The study is the first to link income,especially income from financial
investments,to the emissions used in generating that income.The authors
suggest that policymakers adopt taxes focused on shareholders and the
carbon intensity of investment incomes in order to justly meet the goal of
keeping the global temperature to 1.5C of warming.
13.Which of the following generates the most emissions?
A.An English-speaking black teenager.
B.A 48-year-old Spanish-speaking white worker.
C.A 49-year-old Spanish-speaking billionaire
D.A 50-year-old English-speaking billionaire.
14.How are consumption-related emission issues usually addressed?
A.By controlling.
B.By punishing.
C.By preventing.
D.By recycling.
15.What is Jared's attitude towards consumption-based approaches?
A.Unconcerned.
B.Critical.
C.Favourable.
D.Uncertain.
16.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A book review.
B.A science fiction.
C.A science journal.
D.A travel guide.

13.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段内容“they also discovered that the top 1%of earners alone generate
15-17%of the nation's emissions.In general,white,non-Spanish-speaking households had the highest
emission-linked income and black households the lowest.Emissions tended to increase with age,peaking with
the45一54 age group(总体而言,非西班牙裔白人家庭的碳排放相关收人最高,黑人家庭最低。排放量随年龄
增长而增加,在45一54岁年龄组达到峰值)”可知,D排放量最高。
14.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Traditional environmental policy has then sought to either limit
consumption or guide it into more environmentally friendly approaches:replacing red meat with plant-based
diets or replacing a gas-car with an electric vehicle.”可知,传统的环境政策要么寻求限制消费,要么引导消费
转向更环保的方式:用植物性饮食取代红肉,或者用电动汽车取代汽油汽车。这些都属于控制的方式。
15.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段Jared的话“They unfairly punish the poor while having little impact
on the extremely wealthy,who tend to save and invest a large share of their income.""Consumption-based
