Mei Lun and Mei Huan have been the first giant twin pandas born in the US since 1987.  The names of these twin male giant panda cubs(幼崽) were announced at Atlanta Zoo last year. Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to the cubs on July 15, 2013. Zoo officials followed Chinese custom and named the brothers after waiting 100 days. Until then, they were simply known as “Cub A” and “ Cub B”.

Mei Lun and Mei H uan are the first twin panda cubs to survive in the Unite States. “We’re delighted to finally be able to place two youngsters with names. They have not only made a mark on the history of Atlanta Zoo, but also have made history  in the US,” Raymond B. King , the zoo’s president and CEO, said in a statement.

Atlanta Zoo teamed up with Good Morning America that month to put the pandas’ names to a publi c vote. China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding provided the choi ces of names. In just 13 days, 51,000 votes poured in on the show’s website.

Under a deal between China and the US, giant pandas originally from China are only lent to foreign zoos for scientific study for several years. Zookeepers at Atlanta Zoo are giving regular updates on the twins’ progress in an online blog. Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the fourth and fifth offspring(子女) of Lun Lun and a male giant panda named Yang Yang.

The pandas made their first public appearanc e in a US exhibit last fall. For the three months before their appearance, the online world had watched the twins grow strong and healthy. “We share this joy with our colleagues(同事) in China and with the cub’s fans around the world,” King said.

Buffet is the son of the best investor(投资者)Warren Buffet, and he's the CEO of a philanthropic foundation(慈善基金会). But he’s also a lifelong farmer. He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it’s not just farmers who know there’s a clock running on their efforts. “ We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount  of time to affect change,” said Howard G. Buffett(HGB)

HGB wants to invest more than $3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world’s nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He’s decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. “It’s a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas,” said HGB.

Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people — a fifth of the global population — live on poor land. ”You have to fix the soil,” he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil.

He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries.” It’s not going to happen like that,” said HGB. “You need to consider local differences, local culture.” Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World.

29. From the second paragraph, we can learn that HGB’s main purpose is_______.

A. to invest lots of money in farming

B. to end hunger and poverty

C. to change farming in the world

D. to help the poorest nations in the world.

30. What’s the population of the whole world?

A. 1.5 billion     B. One fifth billion     C. 6 billion      D. 7.5 billion

31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The farming methods in rich countries suit developing countries.

B. HGB thinks agriculture of the west is not good at all.

C. All the farming methods don’t suit developing countries.

D. HGB gains his ideas from the book Forty Chances.

32. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. HGB invests to end hunger

B. A great farmer, HGB.

C. HGB, one son of Warren Buffet

D. HGB invests in the developing countries.

Climate change will increase U.S wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.

Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.

“ It affects a much wider area of the United States than people have realized, ” says author Kim Knowlton, a Columbia University health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of disease.

Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDC’s report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders( 边界) ,ranked (排名 ) second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people exposed (接触 ) to smoky air were, in descending ( 下降的) order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.

Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011, but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.

Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people exposed to at leas t a week of smoke that year, although five of them----Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah---had a large area burned by wildfires.

The problem will only get worse, Knowlton say. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.

33. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that      .

A. most Americans suffered from climate change.

B. the stat es burned by wildfires had more serious problems.

C. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke in 2011.

D. Every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week.

34. Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders?xkb1.com

A. Texas   B.  Kansas.  C. Ohio   D. California.

35. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Climate change causes more wildfires.

B. More wildfires cause climate change.

C. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.

D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.
