18、tains: Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery. Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt ( 倾 斜 ) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction. Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels t

21、rt of this trend?Where is a hoverboard legal?Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, sh

25、k about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diegos City Heights neig

26、hbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Dekas success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mothe

27、r got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to ones life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didnt do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relation

28、ships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was a

33、t all roses.B. Practice makes perfect.C. Well begun is half done.D. Hard work leads to success.CA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps theyre not so different.A

34、new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturineguineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are re

35、vealing the faults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting th

36、e guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS device

37、s to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within

38、the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular birds tiny brain size: “They dont only have small brains relative to mammals ( 哺 乳 动 物 ), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.According to h

39、im, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group its looking atno need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Mul

40、tilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges theyre facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,”

41、 Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.38. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?A. The guineafowls social behaviour.B. Previous assumptions about birds. CHis in

42、terest in animal brainpower. DThe faults in earlier research.39. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe research subjects.BThe research methods.CThe research findings.DThe research equipment.40. What can be learned from the passage?A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.B.

43、The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group. CBirds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups. DSmall-brained animals can form multilevel societies.41. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.B. To explain the int

44、eraction patterns in multilevel societies.C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.DFor several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by those whose int

45、erests and ideologies are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things.Stressing successes isnt wrong, but for many people its not persuasive. An alternative answer to the q

46、uestion “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. If youve got a high school science textbook lying around, youll probably find that answer in it. But what is typically thought to be the scientific methoddevelop a hypothesis ( 假 设 ), then design an experiment to te

47、st itisnt what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things.If there is no identifiable scientific method, then what is the reason for trust in science? The answer is how those claims

48、are evaluated. The common element in modern science, regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used, is the strict scrutiny (审查) of claims. Its this tough, sustained process that works to make sure faulty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until

49、it has gone through a lengthy “peer review” because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation (责任) to find faults.A key aspect of scientific judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim gets accepted until it has been vetted by dozens, if not hundre

50、ds, of heads. In areas that have been contested, like climate science and vaccine safety, its thousands. This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim. And this is why diversity in sciencethe more people lookin

51、g at a claim from different anglesis important.Does this process ever go wrong? Of course. Scientists are humans. There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.”

52、 While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical (矛盾的): that science produces both novelty and stability. Scientists do change their

53、minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.42. How does the author think of the scientific method?A. Stable.B. Persuasive.C. Unreliable.D. Unrealistic. 43What does the underlined word “vetted” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Explained.B. Examined.C. Repeated

54、.D. Released. 44According to the passage, the author may agree that .A. it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claimsB. settled science tends to be collectively overturnedC. a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutinyD. diversity in knowledge is the common element in science 45Wh

55、ich of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Put Your Faith in ScienceB. Defend the Truth in ScienceC. Apply Your Mind to ScienceD.

56、ch you try to get information from them. 46 There are three basic sub-types of interview: structured interviews, unstructured interviews and semi-structured interviews. 47 Incidentally, “respondent” and “informant” are words that are sometimes used instead of “interviewee”.A great deal is provided b

57、y this personal contact: you are another human being, and interviewees will respond to you, in bodily presence, in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails. 48 Most people want to help and give their opinio

58、ns, and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.If you take the trouble to schedule a visit, you can be more or less guaranteed of a response. Most importantly, though, you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them. 49 You will be able to watch the

Because of the primacy of the personal contact, your appearance and tone are importanthow do you want to be seen? As “one of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer? Or what? 50 However you decide to present yo

This is a ready-made support for you.B. Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.C. You will be a

The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.F. Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with another pe
