题目
There are fossilized nondeciduous trees from Antarctica that bear frost rings.
Deciduous trees are more likely to bear frost rings than are other tree varieties.
The process of fossilization does not completely obscure frost rings in deciduous trees.
Present-day deciduous trees are more sensitive to changes in temperature than were the deciduous trees of ancient Antarctica.
Prolonged and unseasonable frosts that might have occurred in Antarctica when the now-fossilized trees were still living did not always produce frost rings in deciduous trees.

Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it，while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow plants need several things． One is warmth． In very cold places almost nothing grows． Plants also need water． In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow． That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass．
Plants must also have a place in which to f，ut down their roots and grow． They find it diffi-culr to grow on hard land． The town is built on hard land． The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones Io grow in．
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food．
Whar will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants，such as beach grass，will grow in sand，L ut most plants won-t． Even if the weather is warm enough．and we water the plants each day． Many of them will die because the sand on this beach has al-most no food for plants．

A． two
B． three
C． four
D． five

Forests for Cities
You are standing in a beautiful forest in Japan. The air is clean and smells like plants and flowers.There are 175 different kinds of trees,and 60 kinds of birds live here.______(1) You are downtown in the city of Nara,Japan,in Kasugayama Forest,the oldest urban forest in the world.It was started more than a thousand years ago,and today it's very popular with tourists and artists.
Cities around the world are working to protect their urban forests. Some urban forests are parks,and some are just streets with a lot of trees.But all urban forests have many good effects on the environment.______(2)They also stop the noise from heavy traffic.They even make the weather better because they make the air 3-5 degrees cooler,and they stop strong winds. Urban forests also have many good effects on people. They make the city more beautiful. In a crowded area,they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature.______(3)
In some countries,people are starting new urban forests. In England,there are now 1.3 million trees in an urban forest called Thames Chase,east of London. It was started in 1990, and it has grown very fast.Walking and bicycle clubs use the forest,and there are programs for children and artists.______(4)
Some older cities don't have space for a big urban forest,but planting trees on the streets makes the city better. Scientists found that commuters（通勤人员）feel more relaxed when they can see trees.Trees are even good for business.______(5)In the future,urban forests will become even more important as our cities grow bigger. In the megacities（超大城 市）of tomorrow,people will need more green space to live a comfortable life. Planting trees today will make our lives better in the future.
A: People spend more time at shopping centers that have trees.
B: In hot countries,urban forests are cooi places for walking and other healthy exercises.
C: But you are not in rural area.
D: Trees take pollution out of the air.
E: In 2033,it will have 5 million trees.
F: It has many kinds of birds in the country.
前一句讲到城市森林对环境很有益，后一句“also”明显表明空缺的一句和 also所在句子讲述的都是具体的对环境有益的方面。所以选D。
在表达方式上，B项承接了前一句“In a crowded area, they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature.”，这两个是并列句。所以选B。
前面几句有几个关键词：now 1. 3 million trees,has grown very fast。作为本段的最后一句，一般要根据前文展望一下未来趋势。综合各个选项，E项比较合适。
从前一句Trees are even good for business可以看到，此句要具体说树木会如何促进商业活动。A项正合其意。
