What’s on Your Pet’s Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it.Her first experiments began with Alex . Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language .“ I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts.They thought animals were more like robots but didn ’t have the ability to think or feel.Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientistto prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think forthemselves .“That ’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said,“Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees ( 黑猩猩 ) use a variety of toolsand even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him Englishlessons up until his recent death .For example,if Alex was hungry he could say “want grape ”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight .“ He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them. ” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors,shapes,sizes,and materials(e.g.wood and metal).Before he finally died, Alex managed to say“seven”.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was adog called Rico .He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs ’ ability to learn a language is that they have ben closecompanions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us isconstantly evolving (进化 ) .While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution developsintelligence, as well as physical appearance.1. Irene wanted to find out __________.A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speakC. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English2. Alex learnt new words by __________.A. singing themB. reading themC. writing themD. rehearing them3. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.A. understand some wordsB. recognize strange voicesC. copy human gesturesD. tell different colors4. The article concludes that ___________.A. our pets understand what we sayB. dogs may speak to humans one dayC. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. mental ability can evolve in animals18.Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dadleft us.I have been into sports since I was six years old . I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop myskills and reach the next level of play.WhenI was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach,Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before . I showed up to the tryouts and put out about90% effort since I thought I ’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met.He didn ’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicidedrills for the 40 lay-ups(投篮)we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy,but it isn ’t . After this conditioning practice,as we were g etting a cup of cold water to drink,I said,“coach,that was the best practice I ever had. ” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school . He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us betterunderstand life ’s challenges,including Wooden, Coach,and The Screwtape Letters .In the first two years I slacked off,not putting forth my full potential.Now, unlike the coaches of my youth,this man was interested in how he did off the court . He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person toteach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not onlyin basketball but in my growth as an individual.1. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training2 .The underlined phrase“slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort3.In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and serious19.As we grow old,we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to . Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprisehim, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading . Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, firstcame across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17.Since then, she has read it againevery five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapterof her life,it has resonated ( 引起共鸣 )differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads,but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow withus.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the“what” and the“why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express . As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained, returning to a book“brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It ’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books(if we’re fond of making notes on the pages) . These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.We’re changed not only bylived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon ourimaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or thatunfaithfulness in life . A book is a joint project between writers and readers,and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can becomeconnected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re -read more often . After all, we watch our favourite films again a nd we wouldn ’t think of listening to an albumonly once . We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms,literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.1. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.A. attract the attention of readersB. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background informationD. show the similarity between re-readers2.The underli ned expression“crack their spines ” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.A. recite themB. re-read themC. recall themD. retell them3. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do4. The purpose of the passage is to __________.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books20.Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation,the medium of radio is making a great comeback.“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast( 播客 ) .These statistics,released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcaststo the present day’s digital podcast format .The term“podcast ” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years . With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast saleshave jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities( 功能 ) .You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops,waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows,podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts twoor three times a week, via iTurns.“ I listen while I ’m wandering around the house doing something else .It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable⋯ And it ’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,”she said,“I mainly listen to BBC podcasts,but recently I ’ve also been listeningto This American Life and Serial.They have a special skill to really draw you in. ”Unlike television and music,the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers.Blumberg says this owes to the podcast ’s ability“to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduateHazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees.“ When you’re listening,it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly toyou.It’s comforting,” said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive andwell.1. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A. traditional broadcast has come backB. Americans love listening to the radioC. podcasts have become very popular todayD. smartphones sell well because of podcasts2. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.A. tell how young people relax themselvesB. explain why young people like podcastsC. introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD. show how popular podcasts are presenting3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.A. the influence of radiosB. the advantage of podcastsC.readers ’ impression on radiosD.people ’s reaction to the medium4. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Return of RadioB. Opinions of PodcastC. Features of RadioD. Technology of Podcast四、信息匹配(共 1 小题)21.根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I 3.________still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is plicated.My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The4.________we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to over look the pleasure we get from the pany of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday.

I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either.She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, 7. ________, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turne d happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.Happiness isn’t about what happens to us—it’s about how we see what happens to us.

Some capable physicians and research workers—though their small number is reducing even further—are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking 12.________ health.

Smokers who develop cancer or lung diseases, they say, may also, by coincidence, live in industrial areas, or eat more canned food.Gradually, however, research is isolating all other possible factors and proving them to be statistically irrelevant. While15.________tobacco smoking affects life expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking.

The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the fa ces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by Chi na—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”4.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks. B.It attracted a large number of visitors. C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 5.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion. B.They start many fashion campaigns. C.They admire super models. D.They do business all over the world.6.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning from B.looking down on C.working with D.competing against7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsBefore the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. Howev er, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.8.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s? A.Academic. B.Unattractive. C.Inexpensive. D.Confidential.9.What did street sales mean to newspapers?A.They would be priced higher. B.They would disappear from cities. C.They could have more readers. D.They could regain public trust. 10.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A.Local politicians. B.Common people.C.Young publishers. D.Rich businessmen.11.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A.It was a difficult process. B.It was a temporary success.C.It was a robbery of the poor. D.It was a disaster for printers.Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr.Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”12.What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A.They fed them. B.They named them.C.They trained them. D.They measured them.13.How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle. B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos. D.By mixing two drinks.14.What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys?A.They could perform basic addition. B.They could understand simple words. C.They could memorize numbers easily. D.They could hold their attention for long. 15.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment. B.Health. C.Education. D.Science.二、七选五In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. 16.While I have only listed two of each, there are obviously many other situations that can arise.

AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter (仲裁人). I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer (气压计).” The student had answered, “Take the baromete r to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn’t confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式) to calculate the height of the building.”At this point, my colleague ha d to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn’t help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others and then added, “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, 1 will give it to you.”‘Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.1. The student got a zero at the beginning because .A. the teacher wasn’t sa tisfied with him.B. his answer wasn’t complete or correctC. his answer didn’t show his knowledge of physicsD. the teacher didn’t fully understand his answer2. We know from the passage that .A. the administrator told Bohr the heightB. the student knew the expected answerC. the author preferred Bohr’s last answerD. the teacher was a very stubborn person3. We can learn from the passage that .A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. teachers should make students use physical formulasD. students should be given more freedom in thinking4. What was Bohr’s attitude toward his schooling?A. CriticalB. OptimisticC. ObjectiveD. Ambiguous【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. A【解析】本文主要讲了Bohr在一次物理测验中,虽然答案也对,但是因为没有涉及物理学的知识,起初被给予零分,他其实在一开始的时候就知道老师所期盼的答案。

The earth shook a little and we heard the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire. "Father!" Hassan cried. We sprung to our feet and raced out of the living room."Father! What's that sound? Hassan screamed, his hands outstretched toward Ali. Ali wrapped his arms around us. A white light flashed and lit the sky in silver. It flashed again and was followed by rapid sharp sounds of gunfire. "They're hunting ducks." Ali said in a hoarse voice. "They hunt ducks at night, you know." Don't be afraid.A siren(汽笛) went off in the distance. Somewhere glass broke and someone shouted. I heard people on the street, jolted from sleep and probably still in their pajamas, with ruffled hair and puffy eyes. Hassan was crying. Ali pulled him close, clutched him with tenderness.We stayed huddled that way until the early hours of the morning. The shootings and explosions had lasted less than an hour, but they had frightened us badly, because none of us had ever heard gunshots in the streets. They were foreign sounds to us then. The generation of Afghan children whose ears would know nothing but the sounds of bombs and gunfire was not yet born. Huddled together in the dining room and waiting for the sun to rise, none of us had any notion that a way of life had ended. The end came when Russian tanks were rolling into the very same streets where Hassan and I played, bringing the death of the Afghanistan I knew and marking the start of a still ongoing era of bloodletting.Just before sunrise, Baba's car peeled into the driveway. His door slammed shut and his running footsteps pounded the stairs. Then he appeared in the doorway and I saw something on his face. Something I didn't recognize right away because I'd never seen it before: fear. "Amir! Hassan!" He cried as he ran to us, opening his arms wide. "They blocked all the roads and the telephone didn't work. I was so worried!"We let him wrap us in his arms and, for a brief moment, I was glad about whatever had happened that night.【小题1】Who is the author of the passage?A. HassanB. AliC. BabaD.

But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell chemicals.The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools (激流和漩涡). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Maridearthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some points, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions cause earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.【小题1】This passage is mainly about ___________.A. current scientific knowledge about faultsB. the San Andreas and the New Madrid faultsC. the causes of faultsD. the New Madrid fault in Missouri【小题2】The New Madrid fault is __________.A. a vertical faultB. a horizontal faultC. a more serious fault than the San Andreas faultD. responsible for forming the Mississippi River【小题3】This passage implies that _________..A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faultsB. Vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faultsC. The volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still aliveD. A lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened todayDIn Greek mythology(神话), fire is a gift form God, stolen from Zeus(宙斯) by Prometheus and handed over to humans suffering from cold. What could be more natural than sitting around a beautiful fire on a winter night, at a campsite in the Berkshires?Hard as it may be to believe, the fireplace—long considered a trophy(奖杯), particularly in a city like New York—is acquiring a social shame. Among those who desire to be environmentally responsible, it is joining the ranks of bottled water and big houses.Sally Treadwell, a 51-year-old public relations executive in Boone, N.C., said nothing makes her happier than building a fire on a cold winter night. But most of the time she doesn’t, because she feels too guilty about the damage it may do to the environment. Every time she builds a fire, it causes “inner conflict,” she said. “It’s a guilty pleasure”.“The smoke from a fire smells very nice,” said Diane Bailey, a senior scientist with theNatural Resources Defense Council in San Francisco. “But it can cause a lot of harm. The tiny particles(颗粒) can cause illness, and can cross into the bloodstream, causing heart attacks as well as worsening other conditions.”Growing concerns about the air pollution and health problems caused by smoke from wood fires are urging a number of areas across the country to pass laws regulating them. Idaho offers a tax cut to people who replace uncertified(不合格的)wood stoves with “greener” ones; San Joaquin County in California forbids selling a home unless its wood stove is replaced with an E.P.A. certified one;and Palo Alto and other governments in California forbid wood-burning fireplaces in new construction.Certainly, many think otherwise. In any case, most fireplaces are used far too infrequently to cause any real damage to the environment, said Stephen Sears, the vice president of the Brick Industry Association, voicing an opinion shared by some.Perhaps not coincidentally, sales of wood-burning equipment dropped to 235,000 in 2009 from 800,000 in 1999, according to the Brick Industry Association. It also reports that approximately 35,000 fireplaces were installed in the United States in 2009, compared to 80,000 in 2005. Certainly those numbers reflect the economic slowdown, but the may also be affected by growing mixed feelings to wood fries.【小题1】We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that ________.A. big houses are not considered environmentally friendlyB. bottle water is a good companion for a fire placeC. a fireplace is viewed as a sign of successD. people in New York are laughed at for their tradition【小题2】Sally’s “inner conflict” in the 3rd paragraph resulted from ________.A. her love for the fireplaceB. the damage to the environmentC. the concern about her healthD. her mixed emotion fro the fireplace【小题3】In terms of the regulations about wood fires we can learn from the passage that_______.A. uncertified fireplaces are forbidden in IdahoB. some people are against the woodfire controlling regulationsC. only energy-efficient wood stoves can be used in the USD. all the people support measures taken to control the use of fireplaces【小题4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To urge people to burn less woodB. To discuss wood-burning’s impactC. To throw light on the causes of the firepla ce’s declineD.
