As a kid, Joanna Buckley wasn’t interested in science — until she had a chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas.
“Over the course of a few weeks, I’d completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parent’s dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.
Now science is Buckley’s job. She works in the chemistry department at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, first-hand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great,” she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears.
Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley’s at-home chemistry kit. That’s because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.
“Compared with a one-off experiment, what’s cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,” Prunuske says. “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.”
Long agrees. “Kids like that it’s real. And they like that it’s important, that it matters.” Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster(星系团). Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused in Japan. And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn where butterflies go every winter.
Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. That’s one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep in touch, Long says. And she has some evidence that it’s working, “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, ‘I really think I want to be a scientist now. ’”
24. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A To support trials can make teens interested in science.
B. To prove failure is the mother of success in science.
C. To state Buckley has a talent for science.
D. To praise Buckley for her strong will.
25. Why is citizen science more fun
A. It carries out experiments frequently.
B. It must carry out experiments in groups.
C. It needs to seek for new solutions.
D. It demands to handle complex problems.
26. What can we know from what Prunuske said
A. She participated in the experiment.
B. She took pride in what students took up.
C. Citizen science is popular with students.
D. Scientists are willing to employ students.
27. What is Long’s attitude towards citizen science
A. Concerned. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
C
As reported in JAMA Surgery, the researchers discovered that e-scooter(电动摩托车) injury rates had increased dramatically in just four years, rising from 6 per 100,000 in the population to 19 per 100,000. Of the estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in 2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head. “While most people recover from head injuries, there is going to be a subset with long-term disability and life changes,” said Dr. Benjamin Breyer.
Dr. Benjamin Breyer of the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed to a 2019 analysis of the data from two hospitals in Southern California, which found just 4.8% of injured e-scooter riders were wearing helmets.
Dr. Joann Elmore, a professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, believed that most e-scooter users are probably unaware of the risks. To make the point, she described a photo taken by a colleague. “There were two riders on an e-scooter,” she said. “No one had shoes on. There were no helmets. And the woman in front had a baby in a baby carrier.”
The new report highlights the need for more research on new technologies, said Dr. Guohua Li, a professor of epidemiology(流行病学).
“Just as there is a global network of experts working on infectious diseases, there needs to be a similar program devoted to the surveillance(监视,监察) and prevention of injuries caused by merging technologies products and lifestyles, such as e-scooters, e-sports, etc.,” Li said in an email.
“The challenge for researchers and policymakers is to keep up with the ever-changing society and protect the public from unnecessary harm caused by new technologies and products without hindering innovation,” he added.
28. What can we know from the passage
A. E-scooter injury rates had increased due to speeding.
B. 32% of injured e-scooter riders weren’t wearing helmets.
C. There is a program devoted to the prevention of injuries caused by advanced technologies.
D. Protection and innovation are of equal importance.
29. What can we infer from Dr. Joann Elmore’s comments
A. She is an anti-scooter.
B. The woman in front was pregnant.
C. She is concerned about the e-scooter users.
D. Most e-scooter riders often drive at high speed.
30. What does the underlined word “hindering” probably mean
A. Preventing. B. Limiting.
C. Developing. D. Making progress.
31. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the passage
A. To arouse people’s awareness of the risks and self-protection.
B. To introduce a new way of transport — e-scooters.
C. To ask people not to ride e-scooters any more.
D. To urge policymakers to make laws as soon as possible.
D
Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today.
Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in the country, where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cholera(霍乱) are reported each week — and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe.
As a big data scientist, I studied data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent.
For example, knowing the incidence(发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible.
To address this gap, we’re using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searchers that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions aren’t perfect, they show promise.
Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充) clinical data. Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there; now it’s time to use it.
32. What do the examples in paragraphs 2 and 4 show
A. Big data is still hard to get and use.
B. People aren’t skilled at dealing with big data.
C. Big data is not always an imagined method.
D. Catastrophes might be prevented with big data.
33. According to the text, survey data .
A. is a main form of multiple data streams
B. is an effective way to collect information
C. is sometimes unreliable and unavailable
D. is a timely alternative to multiple data streams
34. What does the underlined part “this gap” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The lack of big data on mosquitoes.
B. The lack of different data streams.
C. The risk of an outbreak of a disease.
D. The ignorance of how a disease spreads.
35. What’s the best title of the text
A. How do we collect and use data
B. What are the challenges facing us now
C. How can big data help save the world
D. What is the answer to preventing catastrophes

Endangered species
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. 36 Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. 37 Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
38 Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
39 We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild. 40
A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.
B. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.
C. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.
D. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.
E. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species
F. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
G. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sally had trouble speaking in social situations. I’m a registered nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use Bella to bring her joy, comfort and confidence the way only a dog can.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when noticing my dog.
“This is Isabella Rose. I call her Bella,” I said. “Would you like to pet her She doesn’t know anyone here and she’d like to meet you. She does tricks. Would you like to see ”
Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally’s eyes cheered up. “She’ll do it for you too,” I said. “I can teach you.”
I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural with Bella. Soon Sally was able to take Bella at her pace all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.
One morning, when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper: “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn’t spoken in her classroom.
“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids her tricks ” Sally asked me one day. An idea struck me. “Why don’t you do it ” I said. “I know you can. You’re as good with Bella as I am.” Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class, with Bella sitting calmly by her side. Her classmates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak.

第二节 读后续写
【答案】Paragraph 1:
But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth - then her whole body - seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.
Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. “Are you sure ” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next year ” “No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder with more confidence, “Isabella Rose.”
