【正文】 days or weeks but for months or even a year or more, Blatchley added. Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D39。Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the ing days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale39。s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals. Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf, he said. Of them, 57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant. Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic, he said.（1）What can he inferred from the second paragraph?

Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air than forest trees. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burningof fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn39。t been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree39。s diameter increases as it grows, just as a person39。s waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years39。 tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2. City trees grew faster because they had less petition for light from their neighbors. In a forest，trees tend to grow close together，shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gasburning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2? A.It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B.It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C.It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D.It prevents the earth from being unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees? A.To know about their growth rates.B.To find out how much they weigh.C.To check whether they were healthy.D.To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees? A.They are more likely to access growth promoters.B.They can enjoy more water ing from the air.C.They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D.They are better at peting for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued? A.How urban trees can live longer.B.Why city living makes trees die young.C.How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D.Why fastergrowing trees absorb more C02.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）A（4
