11、s World Records, a Sitka Spruce (锡特卡云杉) growing on New Zealands southernmost island is the loneliest tree on Earth. Not only is it the only tree on Campbell Island, but the nearest other tree can be found over 200 km away on the Auckland Islands.2Bluff, Campbell Island is one of the harshest places
12、in the world. With strong winds blowing almost all year round and less than 600 hours of sunshine, its not exactly a good place to live in, which is probably why, except for occasional visits by research scientists, it has remained deserted for over half a century.It is believed that the Sitka Spruc
13、e on Campbell Island was planted by Lord Ranfurly, a former governor of New Zealand, sometime between 1901 and 1907. Its not clear why he decided to plant there, but according to some sources he said that the island was not productive, and took the first step to cover it with forestry. His idea was
14、never going to work because of the harsh climate of the area, but somehow the Sitka Spruce survived.Apart from its reputation as the loneliest tree on Earth, the Sitka Spruce of Campbell Island has a series of other particularities. First of all its shape makes it look more like a giant cauliflower
15、than a tree. This is believed to have been caused by repeatedly cutting down its trunk every year, for decades.

To honour Lord Ranfurly.CThe largest-ever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been held up as evidence of the “invisible value of urban design” in improving long-term
19、health outcomes, say researchers.The study of around 430,000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant associations between the increased walkability of a neighborhood, lower blood pressure and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents.The outcomes rema
20、ined consistent even after adjustments for socio-demographic (社会人口统计学), lifestyle and changing physical environment factors, though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60, women, and those residing in higher density and poor neighborhoods.The pa
21、per was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health this week. With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性的) and particularly heart diseases, researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings demonstrated the need to ta
22、ke notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.“With the increasing pace of urbanization and demographic shifts towards an ageing population, we become more likely to suffer from chronic diseases,” said Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, an assistant professor at the Healthy High Density Cities Lab of
23、the University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. “The action taken to improve public health must consider the invisible value of urban planning and design.“We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through
24、small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activity-friendly and walkable, then probably, we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses.”To measure a neighborhoods activity-promoting potential, researchers developed a set of index(指标) of walkability containin
25、g relevant urban elements, including residential and retail (零售) density, public transport, street-level movement, and distance to attractive destinations.3Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity, promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving; and w
26、ere harmful to social interactions, and as such associated with poorer mental and physical health.Because walkability was “based on the underlying design of the city”, said Sarkar, cities could be modified or designed to encourage it. “Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in long-t
27、erm gains as they are enduring and common.”28. By considering “invisible value of urban design”, people can _.A. reduce the ageing populationB. promote activity-friendly and walkable citiesC. invest in preventing and curing heart diseasesD. slow down the pace of urbanization29. What can be inferred
28、from the passage?A. A set of index is essential to ensure that urban design promotes walkability.B. Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure.C. Chronic diseases are becoming common due to peoples neglect of their health.D. Middle-aged women living in poor areas are more l
29、ikely to benefit from increased walkability.30. All of the following are the undesirable consequences of poorly-designed neighborhoods EXCEPT _.A. fewer neighborhoods B. unhealthy lifestyleC. fewer social interactions D. failing health31. According to Dr. Chinmoy Sarkar, _.A. cities should encourage
30、 the residents to engage in social interactionsB. the design of our neighborhoods should meet peoples needs for retail densityC. money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expensesD. chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment changeDTh
31、eres something about the New Year that always makes me read my horoscope (星象) to see what lies ahead. I dont believe in any of it really but theres comfort in being told that the next 12 months will bring health, wealth and happiness. Well, its usually over optimistic, isnt it?There are many other p
32、eople who are also skeptical about astrology (占星术) and its belief that knowledge of the position of the stars and planets can help us understand our personality or predict human affairs. However, despite the lack of scientific evidence in its favour, astrology has been around for thousands of years,
33、 and is believed by millions of people in both the West and the East.The West has its star signs every month and the East has its animals every year. Im a Pig. When I first found out I was a Pig person I was a little disappointed, and my friends (powerful Dragons, friendly Dogs and fierce Tigers) la
34、ughed. Pigs have a bad reputation people think theyre dirty animals that smell horrible.In the Chinese zodiac (生肖) there are 12 animals and according to one legend, when Buddha left the earth, only 12 animals came to say goodbye to him. As a reward Buddha named a year after each of the animals in th
35、e order that they came to him, and the pig came last. So I thought I was unlucky being a Pig but this isnt so.It appears that Pigs are kind people who are helpful and giving. They tend to make good friends as they are faithful, thoughtful and trusting. Pigs are happy, optimistic people and have lots
36、 of funthat sounds OK to me! However, Pigs are often nave (幼稚的) and apparently its easy to cheat a Pig. They are also likely to react without thinking, and theyre not that great with money either. Pigs, it seems, get along with Sheep and Rabbits but, interestingly, not other Pigs, who they should st
37、ay clear of.32. Finding out that he was a Pig person, the author felt _.A. a little unhappy B. very excitedC. quite proud D. a little surprised33.
