(2022·重庆八中高二月考) Trackers on Ice
Just because a scientist puts a GPS tracking collar on a wild polar bear does not mean the animal will willingly keep it on. ___ 1___, these huge collars are purposefully loose so that if one becomes annoying, a bear can
___2___it. But scientists have now found a way to use signals from the discarded(丢弃的)devices.
“These dropped collars___3___would have been considered garbage data,” says Natasha Klappstein, a polar bear researcher at the University of Alberta. She and her colleagues instead used___4___from such collars, left on sea ice in Canada's Hudson Bay, to track the ice itself. For their study, published in June in The Cryosphere, the researchers ___5___twenty collars that sent movement data consistent(与 ······ 一致的)with ice drift rather than polar bear ___6___between 2005 and 2015. The resulting records of how melting ice typically drifts in Hudson Bay
are unique; there are no easily ___7___on-the-ground sensors, and satellite observations often cannot ___8___capture the motion of small ice sheets.
The team compared the discarded collars' movements with widely used ice-drift modeling data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Collar data indicated that the NSIDC model underestimates the speed at which ice moves around in Hudson Bay--as well as the overall ___9___of drift. Over the course of several months the model could drift away from an ice sheet's location by a few hundred kilometers, the researchers say.
This means the bears may be working harder, when moving against the direction of the ice, than scientists had ____ 10____ .“Since we're underestimating the speed of drift, we're likely underestimating the energetic effort of polar bears," says Natasha Klappstein. The research reveals____ 11____insight (洞悉) into how highly mobile ice moves. As melting increases in coming years, such ice will likely become more ____ 12____farther north, in the central Arctic. Scientists had known NSIDC data could underestimate drift speeds, but “any time we can find a data
____ 13____,it is a good thing.”
Plus,such data could improve predictions about how oil spills or other pollutants may spread in seas ____ 14____ with drifting ice, says Walt Meier, a senior NSIDC research scientist,who was not involved in the study. The findings may even ____ 15____future NSIDC models. “It's a really nice data set,” Meier says."And certainly one we’ll take consideration.

(2021·上海 ·格致中学高二期末) Do you remember how you felt the first time you rode bike What about your first heartbreak ____ 16____ moments and the emotions they arouse can resonate in our minds for decades, powerfully shaping who we are as individuals. But for those who experience severe trauma(创伤), such painful memories can leave people with life-changing mental conditions. So, what if traumatic memories did not have to cause so much ___ 17___ For now, the work is happening in mice.
Neuroscientists usually define a singular memory as an engram---a physical change in brain tissue ____ 18____ a particular recollection. While at MIT in 2013, Steve Ramirez of Boston University and his research partner Xu Liu had a breakthrough: They were able to target the cells that ___ 19___ one engram in a mouse's brain and then implant a false memory. In their work, mice __20__ in fear to a particular stimulus even when they had not been conditioned in advance.
In their current work, Ramirez and his colleagues are investigating whether ___21___ memories can be “overwritten” by positive ones. In their experiments, positive memories are created by putting male mice in cages with female ones for an hour, and negative memories are created by putting the mice in cages that deliver brief foot shocks. After a surgical operation on the mice, the researchers find that ___22___ positive memories while mouse is in a cage makes it less fearful. They think that this memory “retraining"may be helping to ___23___ some of the mouse's trauma. ___24___ , it is unclear whether those original fear memories are completely lost or just suppressed(抑制).
__25__ Ramirez’s team stresses that their work in mice is preliminary(初步的), they see treatment potential for humans down the road. Those suffering from PTSD or depression could have their memories ___26___ , for
instance, so that they don't have a strong ___27___ response to painful recollections.
If it’s one day possible to alter human memory, who should be allowed to receive that treatment And would the ___28___ system be at a disadvantage if key witnesses and victims cannot remember a crime These are questions New York University bioethicist Arthur Caplan says are worth thinking about before the technology is ready for human clinical settings.
As neuroscientists progress with their research, they say these ___29___ issues are being taken into account. Ramirez sees the idea of ___30___ memories as neither good nor bad. Like water, it just depends on how you use
it.
