2014日照二模英语试题答案(5)

　　Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel buildup，and clean up the fallen leaves，and thus，prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area．Regular controlled burns can also help maintain biodiversity(生物多样性)，as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate(促进)the growth of seeds of certain plant species．Apart from these，responsible human behavior can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent．In fact，we can reduce the number of wildfires dramatically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest.
　　Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent，besides causing severe damage to valuable trees．Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases(water vapor, carbon dioxide，etc)，and therefore increase pollution and global warming．However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem，and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction．But large wildfires can cause extensive damage to the ecosystem，which again highlights the importance of effective control and prevention of forest fires·

　　[1] Joshua Lionel Cowen，a New York inventor，was born in l 877．In 1 900，he created maybe the most popular Christmas toy of the last century —little electric trains that circle Christmas trees．More than 50 million Lionel train sets have been sold worldwide，and today Lionel produces more than 300 miles of track each year．
　　[2] Like many American inventors，Josh Cowen，who died in l965，was self-taught．According to history books．when he was 7 he carved a wooden toy train and tried to put a little steam engine on it．The engine blew up，but there were no complaints from his parents and eight brothers and sisters．
　　[3] As a 23-year-old working at an electric fan company，Cowen dreamed up putting a little battery—powered fan motor onto a wooden toy train he called the Electric Express．He took it to a toy store，and they put it in the window to replace a train you had to push around by hand．Within days，Christmas shoppers snapped up six Lionel trains, and the company business took off．
　　[4]While there were many toy train companies—the first electric train was exhibited at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago—Cowen’s invention beat them a11．probably because he tied it to Christmas and produced the toy villages and other things to put around the tree and the train．Still，competition has not stopped．Today there are many companies making toy trains of all sizes，some on tracks using electricity，some on the floor using wind-up springs(发条)．
　　[5] One of the best places in Washington to see a big toy train display is the U．S．Botanic Garden．The big glass building at the foot of the U．S．Capitol has a single train running in one room and a bunch of trains in another big room．____________________________ is one of the most popular holiday attractions in the city．
