用法学习: 1. call [sth] into question/doubt 被质疑, 让人质疑: to raise a question or doubt about. to make something seem less certain. I think that the association's integrity has been called into question by the affair. If you say that there is some question about something, you mean that there is doubt or uncertainty about it. If something is in question or has been called into question, doubt or uncertainty has been expressed about it. There's no question about their success. There's some question as to whether he will sign this resolution. As a footballer, Le Saux's ability was beyond question. The paper says the President's move has called into question the whole basis of democracy in the country. Why he was killed may be open to question, but where he is buried is not. With the loyalty of key military units in question, that could prove an extraordinarily difficult task. On Tuesday, the APA said while there were no immediate safety concerns about the MAX 8 planes, "the fact that this hasn't been told to pilots before calls into question what other info should we know about this aircraft." "What seems to have happened here is that a new version or a modified anti-stall capacity was added which pushes the nose down automatically. If it's true, it is beyond comprehension that Boeing did not tell the airline and pilots about this," said CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest. He added that if important information hadn't been communicated to pilots, it would be a matter for aviation regulators, rather than individual airlines. "The issue is how much information to give the pilots about the systems on board so they can respond in an emergency," Quest said, adding that pilots are often overloaded with 忙得不可开交 readouts 读数 and signals( If an electronic measuring device gives you a readout, it displays information about the level of something such as a speed, height, or sound. The system provides a digital readout of the vehicle's speed. [+ of] The visibility readout is .019.) from multiple devices and monitors that can risk distracting them at the worst possible moment. 2. 印尼空难: The airspeed indicator is like a speedometer and tells the pilot how fast the plane is moving through the air. It does this by gathering data from the plane's pitot tube and the static port, which essentially compare differentials in the air pressure to arrive at 得到 the plane's speed and altitude. take turns/take it in turns [to do something] If two or more people take turns to do something, or in British English take it in turns to do something, they do it one after the other several times, rather than doing it together.

Common examples are earthenware 陶土, porcelain 陶瓷, and brick. Porcelain 精制瓷器 ([ˈpɔːrsəlɪn]) is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C (2,200 and 2,600 °F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain, relative to other types of pottery 陶器, arises mainly from vitrification and the formation of the mineral mullite within the body at these high temperatures. Though definitions vary, porcelain can be divided into three main categories: hard-paste, soft-paste and bone china. The category that an object belongs to depends on the composition of the paste used to make the body of the porcelain object and the firing conditions. Porcelain slowly evolved in China and was finally achieved (depending on the definition used) at some point about 2,000 to 1,200 years ago, then slowly spread to other East Asian countries, and finally Europe and the rest of the world. Its manufacturing process is more demanding than that for earthenware and stoneware, the two other main types of pottery, and it has usually been regarded as the most prestigious type of pottery for its delicacy, strength, and its white colour. It combines well with both glazes and paint, and can be modelled very well, allowing a huge range of decorative treatments in tablewares, vessels and figurines. It also has many uses in technology and industry. The European name, porcelain in English, come from the old Italian porcellana (cowrie shell) because of its resemblance to the surface of the shell. Porcelain is also referred to as china or fine china 精致瓷器, 精制瓷器 in some English-speaking countries, as it was first seen in imports from China. 3. choose up sides To divide a group of people into teams, as when playing a sport or game.

澳洲树种: 1. Delonix regia is a species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It is noted for its fern-like 蕨类 leaves and flamboyant display of flowers. In many tropical parts of the world it is grown as an ornamental tree and in English it is given the name royal poinciana (跑恩see安那) or flamboyant. It is also one of several trees known as "flame tree". In the USVI it is called Flamboyant, and if you have ever seen this tree in bloom you would know the reason right away. Many consider the Flamboyant among the most beautiful trees in the world. It requires a tropical or near-tropical climate and can tolerate drought and salty conditions. It is well established throughout the Caribbean where it is adored for its beauty. In Puerto Rico, for example, many paintings feature the Flamboyant. It is the national flower of St. Kitts and Nevis. It is on postage stamps from Dominica, Anguilla and Montserrat. Though strongly associated with the Caribbean this spectacular tree is native to Madagascar. While admired for its beauty home owners in the USVI do keep a watchful eye on where Flamboyant trees grow. The dense shade and root system prevent the growth of other species under it and its wide-spreading roots can be a threat to building foundations and sidewalks.

An iconic Brisbane tree, the Poinciana (跑恩see安那) is a magnificent species providing great shade as well as vibrant colour from red through to orange flowering throughout summer. The Poinciana is best suited to a position in the back corner of a garden providing an umbrella canopy. Be aware that seed pods and flowers will drop, so keep this tree away from the house and from the driveway. The Poinciana is a slower grower – plant as mature a tree as you can afford. Look for a nice trunk and branches extending off as high as possible to ensure that you can fit your entertaining space - as well as tables and chairs - underneath. Along with the Jacaranda, Brisbane holds a special place in its heart for the Poinciana.

Brachychiton acerifolius, commonly known as the Illawarra flame tree, is a large tree of the family Malvaceae[a] native to subtropical regions on the east coast of Australia. It is famous for the bright red bell-shaped 铃型的花 flowers that often cover the whole tree when it is leafless. Along with other members of the genus Brachychiton, it is commonly referred to as a Kurrajong. Similarly to its kurrajong relatives the leaves are variable, with up to 7 deep lobes. It is deciduous - shedding its leaves after the dry season. The spectacular flowering occurs in late spring and new foliage is ready for the summer rains. In areas where the winter is not particularly dry, this natural rhythm may become somewhat erratic and the tree may flower only partially. Flowers are scarlet bells with 5 partially fused petals. The pod-like fruits (technically known as follicles) are dark brown, wide, boat-shaped and about 10 cm long. They contain masses of thin bristles that stick in the skin of humans, as well as yellow seeds. These are nutritious and are traditionally eaten by Aborigines after toasting.The splashes of colour and vitality of Far North Queensland are part of what makes it such a wonderful destination, especially considering it's such a serene and soothing place. And one live-in resident that adds to this chromatic frenzy, in such a graceful manner, is the Illawarra flame tree, scientifically named Brachychiton acerifolius. A small to medium sized tree which can fire up to 40 metres in height, the flame tree is Queensland’s biblical incarnation of the burning bush. This striking looking tree has bell-shaped, scarlet coloured flowers, which form in clusters at the end of its branches. At the ends of these flowers lie large leather pods which host corn-like seeds. These thin seeds contain a nutritious foodstuff within, which were eaten by Aborigines after toasting. The seeds can also be collected to propagate this wonderful specimen, although if choosing to do so, it's best to use gloves due to the irritant hairs they contain. When in bloom, Brachychiton acerifolius is arguably the most spectacular of Australia’s native trees. Typically deciduous year-round, it flowers in late spring, therefore anyone travelling in north-eastern Australia at present could see this tree in full-fire. Keep in mind this feat takes 5-8 years to perform from seedling, so it's a well-prepared show. Although entirely native to the tropical regions of Australia's east coast, the flame tree is now accustomed to temperate climates, as it’s cultivated the world over for its remarkable beauty. However, its full-growth potential is only reached in its original, warmer climate of north-eastern Australia, where you may be fortunate enough to encounter a fiery whopper. Besides international plant lovers, Brachychiton acerifolius attracts insects, birds, butterflies, and the many Australian's who flock in droves to gaze upon the fiery foliage of this unique and wonderful specimen. This tree is tolerant of temperate climates and is now cultivated world-over for its beauty. However, the maximum height of 40 metres (130 ft) is reached only in the original, warmer, habitat. It usually grows to be about 20 metres (66 ft). There is something amazing about experiencing seasonal change in the landscape. Living in Brisbane's subtropical climate limits the type of vegetation that can achieve that. But we do have the gorgeous BRACHYCHITON acerifolium, which is perfect for our region and provides seasonal colour. The Flame Tree is a fast-growing tree providing a rich display of florescent red flowers that cover the whole tree in Spring. It is deciduous 落叶木的, shedding its leaves after the dry season. The large glossy green leaves provide cooling shade while the interesting trunk can become a focal feature of its own. It's a great tree for native gardens and asian-influenced gardens. This tree is drought tolerant 耐干旱的, but can also handle humidity and extended periods of wet. As climate changes, Queensland property owners in particular need to select vegetation for the long-term that adapts to both dry hot conditions and humid subtropical conditions.

2. Jacaranda is a genus of 49 species of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Mexico, Central America, South America, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. It has been planted widely in Asia especially in Nepal. Jacaranda mimosifolia is quite common in southern California, Florida, Argentina, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Zambia and has been introduced to most tropical and subtropical regions to the extent that it has entered the popular culture.

3. Plumeria (/pluːˈmɛriə/) is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees. The species variously are indigenous to Mexico, Central America, Hawaii and the Caribbean, and as far south as Brazil, but are grown as cosmopolitan ornamentals in warm regions. Common names for plants in the genus vary widely according to region, variety, and whim, but Frangipani or variations on that theme are the most common. Plumeria also is used directly as a common name, especially in horticultural circles.

4. Banksia, commonly known as Australian honeysuckles, are a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Banksias range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall. They are found in a wide variety of landscapes; sclerophyll forest, (occasionally) rainforest, shrubland, and some more arid landscapes, though not in Australia's deserts. Heavy producers of nectar, banksias are a vital part of the food chain in the Australian bush. They are an important food source for all sorts of nectarivorous animals, including birds, bats, rats, possums, stingless bees and a host of invertebrates. Furthermore, they are of economic importance to Australia's nursery and cut flower industries. However these plants are threatened by a number of processes including land clearing, frequent burning and disease, and a number of species are rare and endangered.

5. Eucalyptus [ˌjuːkəˈlɪptəs] is a diverse genus of flowering trees and shrubs (including a distinct group with a multiple-stem mallee growth habit) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Members of the genus dominate the tree flora of Australia, and include Eucalyptus regnans, the tallest known flowering plant on Earth. Australia is covered by 92,000,000 hectares (227,336,951 acres) of eucalypt forest, comprising three quarters of the area covered by native forest. Eucalyptus is one of three similar genera that are commonly referred to as "eucalypts", the others being Corymbia and Angophora. Many species, though by no means all, are known as gum trees 桉树 because they exude copious kino from any break in the bark (e.g., scribbly gum). The generic name is derived from the Greek words ευ (eu) "well" and καλύπτω (kalýpto) "to cover", referring to the operculum on the calyx that initially conceals the flower.

This one is a stunner. The Eucalyptus Summer Red boasts stunning red blossoms and the Summer Beauty shows off with its pink flowers. These natives are not cheap trees, but provide a spectactular show of blossoms and are a manageable dwarfed form, with around maximum 6m height. The foliage is more dense than a usual eucalypt and won't drop branches like its giant cousins. They will attract birds and provide a stunning talking point 话题 to your garden.

6. Callistemon /ˌkælɪˈstiːmən/ is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1814. The entire genus is endemic to Australia but widely cultivated in many other regions and naturalised in scattered locations. Their status as a separate taxon is in doubt, some authorities accepting that the difference between callistemons and melaleucas is not sufficient for them to be grouped in a separate genus. Callistemon species have commonly been referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush. They are mostly found in the more temperate regions of Australia, especially along the east coast and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering. However, two species are found in Tasmania and several others in the south-west of Western Australia. At least some species are drought-resistant and some are used in ornamental landscaping elsewhere in the world.

7. The loquat [ˈləʊkwɒ] (Eriobotrya japonica) (from Taishanese Chinese: 盧橘; Jyutping: lou4gwat1, nowadays called Chinese: 枇杷; pinyin: pípá; Jyutping: pei paa) is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, a native to the cooler hill regions of China to south-central China. It is also quite common in Japan, Korea, hilly Regions of India (Himachal), Potohar and foothill regions of Pakistan and some can be found in some Northern part of the Philippines, and hill country in Sri Lanka.[citation needed] It can also be found in some southern European countries such as Cyprus, Malta, Italy, Spain and Portugal; and several Middle Eastern countries like Israel, Lebanon and Turkey. It is a large evergreen shrub or tree, grown commercially for its yellow fruit, and also cultivated as an ornamental plant. Eriobotrya japonica was formerly thought to be closely related to the genus Mespilus, and is still sometimes known as the Japanese medlar. It is also known as Japanese plum and Chinese plum, also known as pipa in China.

8. Acacia pycnantha, commonly known as the golden wattle, is a tree of the family Fabaceae native to southeastern Australia. It grows to a height of 8 m (26 ft) and has phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks) instead of true leaves. Sickle-shaped, these are between 9 and 15 cm (3 1⁄2 and 6 in) long, and 1–3.5 cm (1⁄2–1 1⁄2 in) wide. The profuse fragrant, golden flowers appear in late winter and spring, followed by long seed pods. Plants are cross-pollinated by several species of honeyeater and thornbill, which visit nectaries on the phyllodes and brush against flowers, transferring pollen between them. An understorey plant in eucalyptus forest, it is found from southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, through Victoria and into southeastern South Australia. Explorer Thomas Mitchell collected the type specimen, from which George Bentham wrote the species description in 1842. No subspecies are recognised. The bark of A. pycnantha produces more tannin than any other wattle species, resulting in its commercial cultivation for production of this compound. It has been widely grown as an ornamental garden plant and for cut flower production, but has become a weed in South Africa, Tanzania, Italy, Portugal, Sardinia, India, Indonesia, New Zealand, as well as Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales. Acacia pycnantha was made the official floral emblem of Australia in 1988, and has been featured on the country's postal stamps.

9. Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan 榕树( banyan [ˈbænjən] a tropical tree that produces new roots from its branches. ), is a large evergreen banyan tree of the family Moraceae native to eastern Australia, from the Wide Bay–Burnett region in the north to the Illawarra in New South Wales, as well as Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its imposing buttress roots. As Ficus macrophylla is a strangler fig, seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree and the seedling lives as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground. It then enlarges and strangles its host, eventually becoming a freestanding tree by itself. Individuals may reach 60 m (200 ft) in height. The large leathery, dark green leaves are 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long. The fruit is small, round and greenish, ripening and turning purple at any time of year; it is known as a syconium, an inverted inflorescence with the flowers lining an internal cavity. Like all figs, it has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps; figs are only pollinated by fig wasps, and fig wasps can only reproduce in fig flowers. Many species of bird, including pigeons, parrots and various passerines, eat the fruit. Ficus macrophylla is widely used as a feature tree in public parks and gardens in warmer climates such as California, Portugal, Italy, northern New Zealand (Auckland), and Australia. Old specimens can reach tremendous size. Its aggressive root system renders it unsuitable for all but the largest private gardens.

10. Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as the broad-leaved paperbark, paper bark tea tree ( bark I. [uncountable] the hard substance that covers a tree. II. [countable] Sound effect the short loud sound that a dog makes. v. I. [intransitive] Sound effect to make the short loud sound that a dog makes. II. bark out [intransitive/transitive] to say or shout something in a loud angry voice. He started barking orders at me. someone's bark is worse than their bite 面恶心善 used for saying that someone is not as mean or rude as they seem to be when they talk to you), punk tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m (70 ft) tall, with its trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark. The grey-green leaves are egg-shaped, and cream or white bottlebrush-like flowers appear from late spring to autumn. It was first formally described in 1797 by the Spanish naturalist Antonio José Cavanilles. Melaleuca quinquenervia is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and coastal eastern Australia, from Botany Bay in New South Wales northwards into Queensland. It grows in swamps, on floodplains and near rivers and estuaries, often on silty soil. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida, where it is considered a serious weed by the USDA. The common names broad-leaved paperbark, broad-leaved tea tree or simply paperbark or tea tree are used in Australia, and punk tree is used in the United States. Paperbark adds a delightful smoky flavour to fish, chicken and vegetables. The broad-leaved paperbark is a medium to tall tree. It has whitish papery bark, rather like many fine sheets of tissue paper stuck together, hence the common name. To use, wash and soak in water before adding  your ingredients.  You can then either tie with string or wrap the whole thing up in alfoil.

11. The CUPANIOPSIS anacardioides  - also known as a Tuckeroo, Carrotwood, Beach Tamarind and Green-leaved Tamarind - is a small lollipop-shaped tree, again good for the side of houses as a low-maintenance hedge. The Tuckeroo is also great alongside pathways as the lower branches can be trimmed for passers-by. Local to the Brisbane area, this native can produce berries which are bird-attracting and has dark green glossy leaves which look great with any planting scheme. Your gutters will be happy that the Tuckeroo doesn't drop much leaf litter, and your pavers will be thrilled that it has a non-evasive root system. This is quite possibly the perfect tree for Brisbane gardens. Cupaniopsis anacardioides, with common names tuckeroo, carrotwood, beach tamarind and green-leaved tamarind, is a species of flowering tree in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae, that is native to eastern and northern Australia. The usual habitat is littoral rainforest on sand or near estuaries. The range of natural distribution is from Seven Mile Beach, New South Wales (34.8° S) to Queensland, northern Australia and New Guinea.

12. The Weeping Lilly Pilly/Lilli Pilli (not an actual Lilly Pilly!) has a great lollipop shape and provides nice shade. This tree is slightly larger at around 8m height and 6m spread, so best placed further away from the building on your property. It's a bigger version of the Tuckeroo, above. An attractive evergreen tree with a dense canopy of weeping foliage which is ideal for clipping as a hedge, screening, as a feauture tree or a windbreak.

Syzygium smithii (common lilly pilly) (formerly Acmena smithii) is a summer-flowering, winter-fruiting evergreen tree, belonging to the myrtle family Myrtaceae. It shares the common name "lilly pilly" with several other plants. In New Zealand, it is commonly known as 'monkey apple'. It is planted as shrubs or hedgerows, and features: rough, woody bark; cream and green smooth, waxy leaves; flushes of pink new growth; and white to maroon edible berries. Unpruned, it will grow about 3–5 m (9.8–16.4 ft) tall in the garden. The trunk is sometimes buttressed. The bark is brown and scaled and flakes off easily. Its dark green shiny leaves are arranged oppositely on the stems, and are lanceolate or ovate and measure 2–10 by 1–3 cm (1–4 by 0.5–1 in). The cream-white flowers appear from October to March, occurring in panicles at the end of small branches. Berries follow on, appearing from May to August, and are oval or globular with a shallow depression at the top. They measure 0.8 to 2 cm in diameter, and range from white to maroon in colour.

13. Koelreuteria paniculata 栾树 is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae, native to eastern Asia, in China and Korea. It was introduced in Europe 1747, and to America in 1763, and has become a popular landscape tree worldwide. Common names include goldenrain tree, pride of India, China tree, or varnish tree.

14. American sweetgum (liquid amber 琥珀) (Liquidambar styraciflua), also known as American storax, hazel pine, bilsted, redgum, satin-walnut, star-leaved gum, alligatorwood or simply sweetgum, is a deciduous tree in the genus Liquidambar native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America. Sweet gum is one of the main valuable forest trees in the southeastern United States, and is a popular ornamental tree in temperate climates. It is recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves and its hard, spiked fruits. It is currently classified in the plant family Altingiaceae, but was formerly considered a member of the Hamamelidaceae. The earliest known published record of Liquidambar styraciflua is in a work by Spanish naturalist Francisco Hernández published posthumously in 1615, in which he describes the species as a large tree producing a fragrant gum resembling liquid amber, whence the genus name Liquidambar.

The worst trees to plant: 1. Eucalyptus tree (gum tree) Eucalyptus has many varying types, differing in height, shape, and colour, but they all have similar characteristics that make them unsuitable for planting near a home on your property: This species of tree can grow quite large, and both root system and canopy will pose possible issues. Eucalyptus trees' root systems can be quite aggressive and far-reaching, and it is common for retaining walls or building foundations to be disturbed by searching roots. Roots can travel dozens metres, and further than their dripline. Branches are likely to die off but not fall straight away. This leaves dangerous objects that may damage a person or property during storms or times of strong wind. Often eucalyptus branches can just become weak and fall to the ground without any external help. Often, single large gum tree specimens are lone survivors of development. Where once they were a part of a larger stand of trees, naturally designed to withstand strong wind and storms, now alone and possibly structurally weak. It is vital to have a qualified arborist to maintain your tree at least every two years to remove dead branches and check the structural integrity of the tree for safety. 2. Ficus species (fig tree) Ficus plants are common as house ornament specimens in pots, and as neat topiary 'lollipop' shapes by the front door. They have lush green leaves and straight white trunks - they really are a beautiful plant. But as most potted plants go, once neglected they are thrown out to the yard where the roots break through the pot to the ground. Sometimes they are planted neatly in the ground, and maintained as a topiary. These are rainforest giants that will grow 20-30 metres tall and wide. It is not a tree for a suburban yard. The root system is very aggressive and strong and will easily knock down a masonry retaining wall. Even root barriers will struggle with this species. 3. Palms: Palms are beautiful plants in a domestic situation while young. The fronds ( a large long leaf divided into many narrow sections. fern/palm fronds. a long narrow piece of seaweed. ) are visible and can create a tropical oasis feeling in the yard or next to the pool. As they get older however, the problems begin: Palm canopies grow higher and higher, until all you can see is a 'telephone pole' in the garden. Palm fronds can be large, and falling down on windy days are disturbing and messy. Some species of plam tree produce dates or fruit, that either attract annoying wildlife (screeching bats) or create a mess around the pool or in the pool (clogging filter systems). If planted too close, the expanding trunk and roots of a palm tree will lift pavers and have been known to damage retaining walls. 4. Deciduous trees: Frangipani trees, Pink Trumpet trees, Golden Rain trees, Flame trees, Liquid Amber trees and other deciduous trees are wonderful features in the garden and can provide a spectacle in the turning of the seasons. Be careful of where these are planted though: Dropping leaves can clog gutters and cause continuing damage if not cleaned out regularly. Leaves on shady, wet paths can also cause injury to pedestrians if not frequently removed.
