11、BI grew up in Algeria and as a female, Ive had to pay an extra price throughout my scientific journey as a result. 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

12、 needed to take an English test. I was fluent in Arabic and French, the languages spoken in Algeria, but I didnt have a solid grasp of English. I learned it hard but didnt score high enough lo secure entrance. I had to stay in Algeria to complete a masters degree instead. Bui I kept learning English

13、 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 dont you publish in the regular journals in our field?” Shocked, I responded, uWhat do you mean by regular joumals?M He gave a few exa

14、mples 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

15、abroad I was proud of were regarded as below average at best. The professors 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

16、 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 wou

17、ld 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 didnt learn English. B. She failed the English test.C. She lacked a ma

Humble and considerate.C. Strong-willed and positive. D. Energetic and sympathetic.CIn autumn 2021, as leader

20、s 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 planets end by storing data in a massive metal stone in Tasmania. Known as Earths Black Box, the project, equal

21、parts art installation and time capsule, aims to document the physical changes caused by global warming and humanitys geopolitical response to them.The installations name is a nod to a common aviation practice. The commercial airplane and private aircraft are equipped with a “black box，a mechanism t

22、hat 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 th

23、at survive a plane crash intact, allowing investigators to reconstruct a timeline of what went wrong in the aftermath.Earths 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 wat

24、er 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 stabi

25、lity. Unlike an airplanes flight recorder, however, Earths Black Box is not meant to withstand total planetary destruction. If Earth were to somehow expkxle, for instance, it probably wouldnt survive. Instead, the artists and data scientists behind the project think of it as a way to log the progres

26、sion of Earths 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, ils intended to hold our leaders to accou

30、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 g

31、reat 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

32、 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.T

33、he technique relies on NASAs 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 Eva

34、ns 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 isnt roughened as much whe

35、n 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 ac

36、ross 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 lowe

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

38、 public and politicians is just one of the researchersfuture 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,onl

39、y one years 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. What is Paragraph 1 mainly ab

44、,when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. 36 And then the next thing you know,an hour has gone by while that big report sits,ignored,on your desk.So how does that happen?To understand ihis,wc conducted a series of studies with 6,445 people. Through this research,we identified

45、three factors:the amount of media the person has already viewed,the similarity of the media theyve 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 so

46、mething feels more accessiblejt becomes easier to process,leading us to enjoy it more.These results also explain why its 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

47、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 me
