That happened when she

19、 got a chemistry set for Christmas.“Over the course of a few weeks, Id completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parents dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.Now science is Buckleys job. She works in the chemistry department at the Un

20、iversity 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 Buckleys at-home chemistry k

21、it. Thats because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.“Compared with a one-off experiment, whats cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,” says Prunuske, who teaches microbiology and immunology at a medical college. “Students want to do a good job, b

22、ecause they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.”Jennifer Longs job is to coordinate(协调) education and outreach. She agrees with Prunuske, “Kids like that its real. And they like that its important, that it matters.” Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries.

23、 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 Monarch butterflies go every winter.Some adults worry about teens losing interest in sc

24、ience. “Thats one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep engaged,” Long says. And she has some evidence that its 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 praise Buckley for her strong will.25. Why is citizen science more fun?A. It needs to seek for new solutions.B. It carries out experiments

26、 frequently.C. It must carry out experiments in groups.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 e

27、mploy students.27. What is Longs attitude towards citizen science? A. ConcernedB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. UnclearCLook! A polar bear is lying lifeless on a beach. On the shore, in the background, stand three guards, talking to each other. One of them has a deadly weapon hanging casually on his shoul

28、der. This powerful image has thrown into question the motivation for this kind of tourism, or ecotourism. Does our proximity(接近) to large animals in the wild, frequently fueled by a desire for exciting images, lead to such animals becoming accustomed to human contact? If that is the case, surely the

29、 losing side will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity.To my sorrow, I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot. The bears death should never have happened. Was the beach examined from the ship offshore be

30、forehand? Was there access to flares(照明弹) to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures for any respected operator. The incident is probably the result of a terrible systemic failure.Nevertheless, the incident should not negate the value of ecotourism. In its best form, thi

31、s kind of travel has very little impact, or indeed has a positive effect, on the environment where it takes place. This can be by making financial donations to conservation groups, providing income to local communities, or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals. In Svalbard, visitors become

32、 ambassadors for the endangered polar bear, increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger facing them is sea-ice melt in the Arctic Ocean.Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates. Simply closing o

33、ff these regions is not the answer.28. Why was the polar bear dead? A. It was probably hunt for its fur by tourists. B. It was probably frightened to death by flares. C. The proper procedures werent probably followed. D. The beach wasnt probably equipped with safety devices.29.What is the third para

34、graph mainly about? A. Ecotourism could be developed properly. B. Financial donations should be strongly advocated. C. Environmental awareness has greatly increased. D. Visitors have a guilty conscience about ecotourism.30. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest? A. More cha

35、llenges from guards havent yet been accepted. B. Better measures for conducting ecotourism are a good choice. C. The environmental benefits from ecotourism are very obvious. D. The positive effects of protecting tourists havent yet been felt.31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To cause readers t

36、o focus on polar bears. B. To stimulate readers to reflect on ecotourism. C. To stress side effects that ecotourism has caused. D. To analyze the reason why the polar bear was killed.DThink about a remote control. Something so simple in function is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us.

37、 Only few have any real idea of why a remote control works. The rest of us just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exists, the more we take it for granted.Consider for a moment a screen showing modern remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users wou

38、ld be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons, and intentionally pressing the button. The modern users would be learning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way, and instinctively feeling for the button they desired.Humans are known for being han

39、dy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, rather than being humbled by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology should do for us. Onc

40、e wonderful new inventions(such as televisions) quickly became commonplace, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference. Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed t be more realistic. Computers n

41、eeded to be more powerful yet smaller in size.For children of the last twenty years born into this modern life, these technological wonders seem like elements of the periodic(周期) table: a given aspect that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations dont even try to imagine life without mode

42、rn conveniences. They do not appreciate the unprecedented(史无前例的) technology that is in their possession; rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations. “My digital video recorder at home doesnt allow me to program it from my computer at work.”If it sounds as

43、 though were never satisfied, we arent. Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. After all, the expectation is that someone, somewhere is working on how to make the existing product even better.32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Modern re

44、mote controls have no button and instructions. B. Consumers behavior towards new technologies changes over time. C. Remote controls have become far more effective over the years. D. Modern remote controls are designed more user-friendly.33. What best fit into consumers “discriminating preference”? A

45、. Less realistic video games. B. Wanting to make sacrifices. C. Needing to understand technology. D. More powerful smartphones.34. What does the underlined statement in Paragraph 4 mean? A. The inspiration of modern technology comes from chemistry. B. Younger generation learn technology while they l
