23、g mouse, Ive never looked at a pingpong ballor the worldthe same way. Amazing to think that its been more than forty years since I checked out The Mouse and the Motorcycle from my school library in Northport, and yet that one particular image is as clear to me as ever.And why shouldnt it be? Its per

24、fect.How I wanted a mouse of my own to ride a toy motorcycle around my house! Thanks to Clearys genius, a talking mouse friend seemed not only possible but probable.While much of childrens literature attempted to explain the world from the point of view of a wise and gentle adult, Cleary created cha

She seemed like a friend who understood me in ways I didnt yet understand myself.Ive written eight childrens books and have always kept Beverlys sense of wonder in mind. I dont reme

26、mber at exactly what age I decided I wanted to write books, but I know that by second or third grade, my teacher assigned a project that allowed us to focus on whatever we wanted. My best friend picked dolphins; I chose childrens authors, with a large chunk of my project being about who else? Beverl

31、 a chunk of ice fell from a collapsing glacier （冰川）on the Swiss Alps Mount Eiger in 2017, part of the long deep sound it produced was too low for human ears to detect. But these vibrations held a key to calculating the ice avalanches （崩塌）critical characteristics.Low-frequency sound wayes called infr

32、asound that travel great distances through the atmosphere are already used to monitor active volcanoes from afar. Now some researchers in this field have switched focus from fire to ice: dangerous blocks snapping off glaciers. Previous work has analyzed infrasound from snow avalanches but never ice,

33、 says Boise State University geophysicist Jeffrey Johnson. This was different,Johnson says. A signature of a new material has been detected with infrasound.Usually glaciers move far too slowly to generate an infrasound signal, which researchers pick up using detectors that track slight changes in ai

34、r pressure. But a collapsea sudden, rapid breaking of ice from the glaciers main bodyis a prolific infrasound producer. Glacial collapses drive ice avalanches, which pose an increasing threat to people in mountainous regions as rising temperatures weaken large fields of ice. A glacier ucan become de

35、tached from the ground due to melting, causing bigger break offs,” says University of Florence geologist Emanuele Marchetti, lead author of the new study. As the threat grows, scientists seek new ways to monitor and detect such collapses.Researchers often use radar to track ice avalanches, which is

36、precise but expensive and can monitor only one specific location and neighboring avalanche paths. Infrasound, Marchetti says, is cheaper and can detect breakoff events around a much broader area as well as multiple avalanches across a mountain. It is challenging, however, to separate a signal into i

37、ts components (such as traffic noises, individual avalanches and nearby earthquakes) without additional measurements, says ETH Zurich glaciologist Malgorzata Chmiel. The model used by Marchetti is a first approximation for this,” she says. Isolating the relevant signal helps the researchers monitor

38、an ice avalanches speed, path and volume from afar using infrasound.Marchetti and his colleagues are now working to improve their detectors to pick up more signals across at-risk regions in Europe, and they have set up collaborations around the continent to better understand signals that collapsing

39、glaciers produce. They are also refining their mathematical analysis to figure out each ice cascades physical details.26. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A. Infrasound has a major role to play in discovering new materials.B. Ice avalanches are a bigger threat to people than volcan

40、ic eruptions.C. Researchers are trying to use infrasound in detecting ice avalanches.D. Scientists employ infrasound more in mountain areas than in other places.27. Which is an advantage of infrasound over radar?A. The combination with other relevant signals.B. The accuracy in locating a certain ava

41、lanche.C.The ability in picking up signals in wider areas.D. The sensitivity in tracking air pressure changes.28. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A. distinguishing different components of a signalB. detecting multiple avalanches at the same timeC. calculating the speed and path

42、of ice avalanchesD. monitoring the specific location of ice breakoffs29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. From Fire to IceB. Glacier WhispersC.Nature is WarningD. Secret of Ice AvalanchesDIn over 25 years, DeSimone has spun his research findings into commercial gold

43、by launching several businesses. As a faculty member at the University of North Caiolina, he provided scientific advice and held equity in the businesses. But he has never actually managed his companies. His employers bar him from simultaneously holding an academic post and an executive position. Th

44、e dual roles can present huge conflicts.Conflicts of interest （COIs） occur when an individuals personal interestsfamily, friendships, financial, or social factorscould compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace, and it makes sound career sense to think about how to manage

45、 them. Researchers should disclose potential or existing conflicts across all aspects of academic life.In most places, COI management runs on an honor system. Researchers decide which financial holdings and relationships to disclose to university administrators. Journals and funders adopt a similar

46、system when they ask authors and peer reviewers about potential conflicts related to manuscript or grant approvals.Most research institutions offer training to help faculty members to understand what constitutes a potential or existing conflict. Administrators then decide whether the interest presen

47、ts a conflict, and whether that conflict can be handled. If so, they create a management plan to address it. If not, researchers must abandon the work, partner with researchers at other institutions, or leave their university.Perception plays a part in defining a potential conflict, warns Walt, a ch

48、emist at Tufts University. Investigators who develop a technology in the laboratory and then transfer it to their company could create a conflict of interest in the eyes of their students, Walt says. But the potential conflict can be avoided by drafting a licensing agreement that bars discoveries fr

49、om automatically being transferred to the investigators company. Walt created such an arrangement to assure his students that they werent actually working for his private companies.Relationships can pose conflicts when conference organizers are choosing speakers. Members of the American Society for

50、Human Genetics program committee, which selects abstracts and talks for their annual meeting, must recuse （要求回避）themselves from considering talks by, for example, researchers at their current and past institutions, close collaborators and those with whom they have personal or familial ties.Even diff

51、ering points of view can play a part. Scacheri, a geneticist who chairs the committee, says that members who have disagreed personally with potential speakers might also be obliged to recuse themselves: If you feel like you cant be an impartial （公正的）reviewer, that is considered a COI.Handling COIs c

52、an be burdensome. COI managers emphasize that the goal is not to suppress innovation, but to expose potential conflicts so that they can be managed. Nothing about the process is meant to be prohibitive,” says Grewal, a COI officer at MIT. Her institution wants to enable good science and the betterme

53、nt of humanity. “During that process,” she says, “if you make some money, thats good as well.”30. The example of DeSimone in Paragraph 1 is used mainly to . A. raise a questionB. report a findingC.introduce a topicD. present a theory31. To better deal with COIs, .A. researchers have to quit their jo

54、b at the universityB. researchers should report the conflicts that possibly existC. institutions need to monitor the staffs career and relationshipsA. institutions should train researchers to create management plans32. What can we learn from the passage?A. Grewal considers COI management exhausting

55、and costly.B. Walt arranged to transfer discoveries at his lab to his companies.C. Conference organizers should avoid inviting unqualified speakers.D. Scacheri believes personal viewpoints may impact a reviewer9s decision.33. What can we infer from the passage?A. COIs can be defined depending on int

56、erpretations.B. COIs benefit scientific innovation and better humanity.C. COIs arise primarily due to the pursuit of financial gains.D. COIs can be got rid of by promoting fairness in workplaces.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How much time do you spend do

57、ing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. 35 Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias （偏见），a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.To study jumping”，we examined decision-making patterns among more than

58、600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. 36 In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right significantly more than other participants dideven when their answer

59、s were wrong.So what is behind jumping? Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers an

60、d nonjumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. 37 .It is the controlled system that helps people counter balance mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of co

61、ntrolled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.38 A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They

62、can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants overconfidence.In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our gut is a frequent and important one. 39 Sometimes the most importa

63、nt decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.A. Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.B. Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.C. But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.D. It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to t

64、ake a decision.E. We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.F. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.G. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.

Il refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special

66、 occasion or key date has passed.The fresh start effect is simple. Most people want to improve themselves in some way. When we hit important milestones, were often likely to reflect: are we where we thought wed be l）y a certain age? Was this year a successful year, or did we waste it? Annual landmar

67、ks like birthdays, or the start of a new year, signify a new time period and an opportunity to leave slip-ups behind and to set new goals for better behavior.Research shows that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect. For example, people aged 29, 39, 49 etc. we

68、re 48% more likely to run a marathon for the first time. When they were approaching a new decade, they were more likely to search for meaning in their lives and try to improve themselves. The reason is simple. When we see our past self as separate from our current self, we feel it easier to introduc

69、e new goals and take action.Whats interesting about the fresh start effect is that we dont need to wait for big milestones to take advantage of this sudden dose of motivation. Studies show that the first day of each month and even each week can also inspire us. These days, known as temporal landmark

70、s”, encourage us to step back and evaluate our current situation. And when we do this, we gain the motivation to be better: we become more driven and more productive. That is why people are more likely to start diets or exercise plans on Monday, rather than the next day.Fresh starts are exciting opp

So if youre currently experiencing loss of motivation, questioning the meaning of your work, or just feel like youre stuck in a rut, why dont you use the fresh start effect in your own life?40.
