The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns Itself

A) In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself. Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this treecome to own itself and the land around it?

B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved it so, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens WeeklyBanner published on August 12,1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains, and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers. He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it. "

C) Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”

D) In time, the tree came to be something ofa tourist attraction, known as The TreeThat Owns Itself. However,in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death, with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and lonfy fellow custodians(看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9,1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/ or via having previously died and its roots rotted.

E) About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club(who'd tended to the tree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9,1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor ofAthens, Robert L MeWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.

F) This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree's heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of other trees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. That said, to date, none of the original tree's other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.

G) Thisall brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.

H) Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens, starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.

I) He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn't clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Wardwas required to pay Jackson a sum of$1,200(about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.

J) After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sherif's office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it takenas well.

K) And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this

L) On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson's death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.

M) As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this side of the story. So how did all of this come about then?

N) It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled“Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it's speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itselfor not.

O) Whatever the case, the next known instance of the TreeThat Owns Itselfbeing mentioned wasn't until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner. This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.

36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.

37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.

38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.

39. There is no evidence that Jacksonhad made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land onwhich the oak tree sat.

40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasing a piece ofland from him.

41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.

42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.

43. Jackson's little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.

44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplantingof a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.

45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don't more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?

There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company's culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.

This is not strictly a workplace problem; it's a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect— the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility . Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it— meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.

This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it's not only frontline workers who don't make safety interventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.

When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.

Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty,a fear that they' ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don't intervene— they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.

On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of theirjob is to intervene when workers perform a taskwithoutthe proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competentworkers are alsorequired to stop work from continuing when there's a danger.

Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn't required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within theirteam that supports intervening and open communication among them.

Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it's important to educate everyone within the organization that they are obliged to intervene if they witness a possible unsafe act, whether you' re adesignated competent person,a supervisoror a frontline worker.

46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of riskybehavior in the workplace?

A) Slack supervision style.

B) Unfavorable workplace culture.

C) Unforeseeable risk.

D) Blocked communication.

47. What does the author mean by“diffusion of responsibility”(Line 4, Para.3)?

A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.

B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.

C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.

D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.

48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?

A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.

B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.

C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties

D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.

49. What is the ultimate reason workers won't act when they see unsafe operations?

A) Preference of deferring the action to others.

B) Anticipation of leadership intervention.

C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.

D) Fear of having to do more work.

50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?

A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly

B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.

C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.

D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

The term“environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.

The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is the cause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy

On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn't worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers' basic demands when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited

Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn't an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it's a valuable option to have if we' re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.

“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables, "he said. "If you don't believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”

The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been“100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have small populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run offrenewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.

Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country's electricity in 2019.

But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doesn't just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany's north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.

The result is that Germany's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010— slower than the EU average of 13.5%.

51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?

A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.

B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.

C) Evolution of the term‘green energy’over the last century

D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.

52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists' opponents?

A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.

B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.

C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.

D) Limiting people's non-basic consumption.

53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?

A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world's exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.

B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.

C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run offrenewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.

D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.

54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?

A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.

B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.

C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half ofits electricity.

D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition setby Merkel.

55. What may be one ofthe reasons for Germany's progress having halted in recent years?

A) Its grid infrastructure's capacityhas fallen behind its development of greenenergy

B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.

C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies

D) Its renewable energy supplies areunstable both at night and during the day.

46.【定位】根据题干信息词one of the factors、failure of intervention可将答案线索定位至第二段。

B)【解析】第二段回答第一段提出的问题，即为什么没有更多的员工在看到有人在工作场所表现出危险行为时出面干预。该段指出，员工需要能够看到危险情况开始出现，公司的文化需要让他们感到发声是安全的，他们需要具备有效发言的沟通技巧。由此可知B项符合题意，不良的工作场所文化会使员工选择不进行干预。

47.【定位】根据题干信息词“diffusion of responsibility”(Line 4, Para.3)可将答案线索定位至第三段第四句。

D)【解析】第三段第四句提到了“责任分散(效应)”，它的具体含义需要回溯上文。本段第三句提到了旁观者效应，即目睹事件的人越多，这个群体中就越没有人愿意帮助受害者。第五句对“责任分散(效应)”进一步解释：这个群体的人数越多，人们就越认为会有其他人来处理这件事。由此可知，D项符合题意。

48.【定位】根据题干信息词unsafe behavior、not addressed by the leaders可将答案线索定位至第五段。

A)【解析】第五段提及，当一群员工看到不安全行为没有得到领导层的处理时，就会形成这样的传统，即这些情况就应该这样处理，从而为每个人定义了安全文化，也即所有人都会遵循惯例，即使发现不安全行为也不去干预。由此可知，A项符合题意。

49.【定位】根据题干信息词the ultimate reason可将答案线索定位至第六段第二句。

D)【解析】第六段第二句讲到，恐惧是不去干预的根本原因，第三句紧接着解释具体恐惧什么：他们害怕受到惩罚，害怕如果干预就必须做更多的工作。由此可知，D项符合题意。

50.【定位】根据题干信息词critical to ensuring workplace safety可将答案线索定位至第八段。

C)【解析】第八段开始陈述管理者在保证工作场所安全方面的重要性：管理者不仅要识别和减少工作场所的危险，还要在团队中营造一种安全氛围，鼓励团队成员进行干预和公开交流。C项中的safety environment与原文中的safety climate是同义转述, climate此处意为“氛围”, 不是常用的“气候”, 故本题选C。

51.【定位】根据题干信息词divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy可将答案线索定位于第二段。

D)【解析】第二段提到，这两种环保主义之间的区别是科学界在核能问题上产生分歧的原因。紧接着第三段对这一分歧进行了具体阐述，即一方认为核能不值得冒险，另一方认为核能是一个自然的选择。原文中的split对应题干中的divide, 题干中的within the scientific community about nuclear energy属于原词复现, D项表述是原文中The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism的同义转述, 故选项D为正确答案。

52.【定位】根据题干信息词solution to energy shortage和purists’opponents可将答案线索定位于第三段。
