　　According to the Guinness World Records, a Sitce (锡特卡云杉) growing on New Zealand’s 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.
　　Bluff, Campbell Island is one of the harshest places in the world. With strong winds blowing almost all year round and less than 600 hours of sunshine, it’s 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 Sitce on Campbell Island was planted by Lord Ranfurly, a former governor of New Zealand, sometime between 1901 and 1907. It’s 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 never going to worse of the harsh climate of the area, but somehow the Sitce survived.
　　Apart from its reputation as the loneliest tree on Earth, the Sitce of Campbell Island has a series of other particularities. First of all its shape makes it look more like a giant cauliflower than a tree. This is believed to have been caused by repeatedly cutting down its trunk every year, for decades. Another interesting thing about the world’s loneliest tree is that, though it is over 100 years old, it has never produced cones (球果).
　　Who knew a lonely tree growing 200 km away from its nearest cousins could be so interesting?
　　24. What does the underlined word “harshest” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
　　A. Loneliest.    B. Rarest.
　　C. Hottest.    D. Severest.
　　25. What can be learned about Lord Ranfurly?
　　A. He was a governor for ten years.
　　B. He made Campbell Island productive.
　　C. He attempted to get Campbell Island forested.
　　D. He realized the Sitce could survive in New Zealand.
　　26. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______ of the Sitace.
　　A. the unique shape    B. the special features
　　C. the high reputation    D. the growth process
　　27. What is the purpose of the text?
　　A. To introduce the loneliest tree in the world.
　　B. To promote tourism on Campbell Island.
　　C. To emphasize the importance of forestry.
　　D. To honour Lord Ranfurly.
　　C
　　The 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 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 remained 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 paper 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 take notice of the health-influencing factor in urban design.
