23、kids allowances in the smart-phone Allowances are a constant.

But putting stickers on chore（日常事务）charts and dropping coins in piggy banks dont cu

24、t it with the smart-phone generation. Parents in search of more _31_ ways to teach children the value of money are turning to allowance-tracking apps, where kids can see their _32_ rise and fall in real time. Bonnie Koon, a mother of three in Crawfordville, Fla., used to post a calendar on her refri

Green-light links to parents bank accounts so that the payout can be seamless. Parents can encourage saving by paying interest on the money that isnt spent _3

26、5_ - interest out of the parents own pockets, of course. Its the first taste of _36_ freedom for many kids, and its set in a relatively safe - 6 - environment. Parents can determine spending limits and choose the retailers（零售商）where a child can make _37_. If a child attempts to buy something at an u

27、napproved store or to spend more than the limit, the transaction（交易）is _38_ and parents get a notification.

28、rance savings fund she set up in the app, whit the goal of saving $450 by July. With each _39_, the app gives Brenna a progress update.

30、nk in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

31、making both of those activities a lot more _41_. Looking at two _42_ and economically important species - the Douglas fir and the Ponderosa pine - scientists found that fires and drought _43_ by climate change make new growth difficult, especially in low-elevation forests, according to a study publi

32、shed Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed “a(n) _44_ climate tipping（转折）point for post-fire tree generation,” the study says. Climate condi

33、tions over the past 20 years have _45_ changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to _46_ across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden _47_ of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration. - 7 - “Climate changes is _48_ our forests now

34、, not just in some distant future. Maybe in areas where there are really _49_ seed sources, there could be some trees, but it is becoming really hard to get these trees back due to climate change,” said study co-author Kim Davis. The problem probably wont get any better, as climate change is making

35、intense wildfires much more _50_. Western foresters say there used to be a fire season. But devastating and _51_ fires have become a reality all year long. In 2018, fire cost California more than $9.05 billion, according to the USA insurance commissioner, the deadliest and most destructive wildfires

36、 season in the _52_ history. A higher number of fires and low seed availability means a high probability that these trees in these regions wont come back, Davis said. This study _53_ on the driest and hottest areas of the Western forests, but researchers will next try to focus on how much will be im

37、pacted. _54_, there are some things people can do to ease some of this problem. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help.

41、 several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) EU members states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because i

42、t poses an “acceptable risk” to the environment. Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) to imports to clothing and other textile products. The measure is intended to protect species in water. Use of NPE in textile manufature in Europe was banned

43、over 10 years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed. NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol (NP), which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones, harming fertility, growth and sexu

44、al development. NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent. The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items. A 2011 study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested, including items sold by big-name brads such as Adidas, H&

45、M, Lacoste, and Ralph Lauren. The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low, the chemicals existence in the environment posed a risk. The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.01% will enter

46、 into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission, which is likely to happen in September. In comments submitted to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE ubiquitous in the supply chain a

47、nd has numerous uses. The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible（微不足 - 9 - 道的）amounts of NPE. EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is

48、 a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive. A 2013 study by the UK environment agency warned that emissions from textiles could prevent progress towards this objective. It found 29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPE, which was released during the first two washes by the consumer. 56. The 2011 study by Greenpeace f
