I knew studying abroad would be key to my success, so I was extremely excited when I won a scholarship to attend a British university for graduate school. But there was one condition: I needed to take an English test. I was fluent in Arabic and French, the languages spoken in Algeria, but I didn't have a solid grasp of English. I learned it hard but didn't score high enough lo secure entrance. I had to stay in Algeria to complete a master's degree instead. Bui I kept learning English on my own. Two years later, I earned a Ph. D. scholarship to study in Switzerland.Midway through my Ph. D., a professor remarked, uYou are quite productive, but why don't you publish in the regular journals in our field?” Shocked, I responded, uWhat do you mean by regular joumals?M He gave a few examples of all journals dominated by researchers from the Global North. I had been publishing my papers in specialized, low-impact journals. That was counted as a great achievement in my home country, where even professors struggle to get published. Now, I realized that the scientific accomplishments abroad I was proud of were regarded as below average at best. The professor's comment heartened me to adjust my research to address issues of broader interest. By the time I graduated, I had started publishing in so-called “regular" journals, which helped me land a postdoctoral degree in Canada.I told all this to ihe members of my lab, adding that they were privileged to grow up speaking English and have access to tremendous expertise and funding. Facing global inequities, Tve started to try using a preprint server to integrate an English language proofing (校对)system into its platform, which would connect authors who need language help. Wc can take steps to make the global scientific community more inclusive. And I want to be part of that push for change.24. Why was the author unable to go to a British university?A. She didn't learn English. B. She failed the English test.C. She lacked a master's degree. D. She got the lowest entrance score.25. What does the author think of the comment of the professor in Switzerland?A. Confusing. B. Heartless. C. Regular. D. Inspiring. 26. What's the aim of the preprint server?A. To aid those who need help with language.B. To make the global community more inclusive.C. To set up a platform where English authors write.D. To establish an English language proofing system. 27. Which words can best describe the author?A. Honest and athletic.B. Humble and considerate.C. Strong-willed and positive. D. Energetic and sympathetic.CIn autumn 2021, as leaders from across the globe gathered on Glasgow to talk about the impact of human-caused climate change, a group of artists, architects and researchers in Australia came a way to document the planet's end by storing data in a massive metal stone in Tasmania. Known as Earth's Black Box, the project, equal parts art installation and time capsule, aims to document the physical changes caused by global warming and humanity's geopolitical response to them.The installation's name is a nod to a common aviation practice. The commercial airplane and private aircraft are equipped with a “black box"，a mechanism that automatically logs important flight details like altitude, airspeed and equipment functionality. These boxes, which are usually bright orange rather than black, are designed to withstand extreme temperatures as well as immense amounts of force and pressure. They are sometimes the only objects that survive a plane crash intact, allowing investigators to reconstruct a timeline of what went wrong in the aftermath.Earth's Black Box draws inspiration from these mechanisms. The vault （穹顶）will be made from specially designed, 3-inch-thick reinforced steel, chosen for its resistance to fire and water damage as well as its toughness and firmness. Along with the University of Tasmania and a collective of artists, an Australian communications firm plans to build the 33-loot-long vault in a remote part of western Tasmania. They chose the location for its relative geological and geopolitical stability. Unlike an airplane's flight recorder, however, Earth's Black Box is not meant to withstand total planetary destruction. If Earth were to somehow expkxle, for instance, it probably wouldn't survive. Instead, the artists and data scientists behind the project think of it as a way to log the progression of Earth's current ecological collapse, which is already profoundly changing the environment.“At its core, the box is intended to be a symbol of the disastrous situation we find ourselves in,“ says Curtis, an expert on the project.44And more importantly, il's intended to hold our leaders to account by being an unmissable structure that reminds them that their actions or inaction will be recorded for generations to comc. 28. What is the purpose of Earth's Black Box?A. To keep a record.B. To perform monitoring.C. To handle downloads. D. To make predictions.29. What does the underlined word “intact" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Bright and colorful.B. Inactive and disconnected.C. Complete and undamaged. D. Important and multifunctional.3(). How is the steel used to build the Earth's Black Box's vault?A. Leaky, (ough and firm. B. Hot, breakable and explosive.C. Water-resistant, heat-resisting and solid. D. Damp, physically stable and eco-friendly. 31. What is the best title for the text?A. Global Leaders Arc Aiming at Global WarmingB. Human-caused Climate Change Is Having a Big ImpactC. Earth's Black Box Can Save Us from Disastrous SituationsD. Earth's Black Box Warns of Its End Due to Climate ChangeDMicroplastics-tiny pieces of plastic waste less than five millimetres long that have been degraded by waves,wind and ultraviolet rays-have been discovered in the deepest oceanic trenches and within the stomachs of the organisms that live thcrc,but wc have little idea about where the great majority of them end up. More than eight million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year,comprising between 80 and 85 percent of all marine trash,but with inadequate data,there are concerns (hat these figures could be underestimates.Currently,most of the data we have on microplastics are accidentally captured by research ships, which use plankton 浮游生物 nets to collect marine-microorganismsamples. However,researchers Christopher Ruf and Madeline Evans from the University of Michigan have discovered an innovative way to identify and track concentrations of microplastics in the ocean.The technique relies on NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) , a constellation 星座 of eight micro-satellites used to predict hurricanes that calculate wind speeds above the ocean by measuring the roughness of surface walers. As the satellites arc continuously rccording,Ruf and Evans realised that they collect a great deal of additional data. It was while analysing these data that they noticed some differences times where the surface of the ocean appeared to be much smoother than il should,given the prevailing wind(盛 行风)conditions.Knowing that water isn't roughened as much when it contains a lot of floating material,Ruf and Evans identified a pattern that linked areas of unusual smoothness and predicted microplastic distributions. They found that the difference between their measurements,and how much rougher the surface would be if winds of the same speed were blowing across clear watenwas "highly correlated with the presence of microplastics,and the degree of the difference also correlated with the concentration of the plastics.”The research reveals that there are seasonal variations,where the concentrations of microplastics tend to be higher in the summer and lower in the winter in a very clean,periodic way,which Ruf explains mirrors the way in which the ocean circulation changes throughout the year. It also confirms,as was previously thoughtjhat rivers are the main source of ocean microplastics.Raising awareness of the issue of ocean microplastics among the public and politicians is just one of the researchers'future aims： they are also in conversation with Dutch non-profit The Ocean Cleanup and Finnish clcan-tcchnology specialist Clcwat,which arc interested in using the information to more efficiently target their trash-collection campaigns.So far,only one year's worth of data have been processed since CYGNSS was launched in 2016. By looking at a longer time period,Ruf and Evans aim to determine whether the seasonal pattern is repeatable,and whether （he concentration of microplastics in the ocean is getting worse.32.

Through this research,we identified three factors:the amount of media the person has already viewed,the similarity of the media they've viewed,and the manner in which they viewed the media.We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content.But what drives this effect? 37 When something feels more accessiblejt becomes easier to process,leading us to enjoy it more.These results also explain why it's so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. 38 They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row.They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos,reducing the potential fbr interruptions.39 To fight the pull,make an effort to just watch one video.If you really want to watch multiple in a row,choose videos that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time,or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.So,if you're struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole,try to find ways to reduce the similarity,repetitiveness,and relatedness of the content you're consuming. 40 Once you manage to break free,you'll be back at that big report in no time.A.It can be difficulLbut it's not impossible.B.You figure you'll just take a few minutes to watch them.C. Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.D.These platforms are designed to trap vie
