For sharks, the Mesoamerican Reef, which stretches over 600 miles, is a busy highway. Sharks use it to find their way and it provides them with food and habitat.
But as with on-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerous. Overfishing, commercial development and illegal practices are endangering the species. “We’re seeing a continued decline in shark populations. Our goal is to turn that round.” says Rachel Graham, founder of Mar Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on conserving sharks.
By monitoring sharks, Mar Alliance can collect important knowledge on the species to help inform conservation and push for political action. But rather than acting in opposition to the local fishing community, MarAlliance enlists their help.
“They are the ones who are on the sea every single day,” says Graham, “and they’re the ones who decide the species’ future.”
MarAlliance employs up to 60 fishermen across its range, mostly on a project basis, training them to collect data, record and release fish. Not only does this provide an alternative income to fishing communities, making them less dependent on natural resources, but it also teaches them about the benefits of a healthy ocean ecosystem and how to fish sustainably.
Among them, Ivan Torres, who used to catch sharks to sell locally as food, has learned how critical they’re to the whole ecosystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any more.
If this attitude change continues to spread throughout fishing communities, Graham has hope for the shark populations. “The primary threat to sharks is unquestionably overfishing,” she says, “By reforming the industry, populations can bounce back.”
In 2020, Belize outlawed the use of gillnets, large panels of netting of trapping large sealife. The ban’s impact is already noticeable with a recorded 10-fold increase in shark populations.
But such regulations need to be copied along the whole superhighway for long-lasting impact, and countries need to find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need to find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihoods and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hope that through education and providing an economic alternative for fishing communities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage for sharks along the reef”. 4．Which of the following best describes the Mesoamerican Reef for sharks?
A．Romantic but messy.B．Vital but insecure.
C．Adventurous but beautiful.D．Unfamiliar but reliable.
5．What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．MarAlliance.B．The fishers.
C．Monitoring authorities.D．The sharks.
6．What contributed to Ivan’s attitude shift apart from education?
A．A stricter fishing ban.B．The insurance payout he earned.
C．An offer of extra work.D．The fishing communities’ intervention. 7．What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph?
A．Solution to overfishing.B．Difficulties facing MarAlliance.
C．Impact of existing regulations.D．Features of international cooperation.
Jimmy Jiang envisions a future where every house is powered by renewable energy stored in batteries.
Jiang and his team at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new battery that could have far-reaching implications for the large-scale (大规模) energy storage needed by wind and solar farms.
“Batteries store renewable energy for when it’s needed, not just when it’s produced. This is crucial for getting the most out of wind and solar power,” Jiang said. “Energy generation and energy consumption is always mismatched. That’s why it’s important to have a device
that can store that energy temporarily and release it when it’s needed.”
They described their novel design in the journal Nature Communications.
Traditional car batteries contain a mix of sulfuric acid and water. While they’re inexpensive and made from readily available materials, they have severe drawbacks for industrial or large-scale use. They have a very low energy density (密度), which isn’t suitable for storing sufficient power needed to power a city. And they have a low level for electrochemical stability, which means they can blow up.
Water has a voltage (电压) limit. Once the voltage of such a battery goes beyond the stability window of 1.5 volts, the water can decompose into hydrogen and oxygen, which is explosive.
But Jiang and his students have developed a battery without water that can generate nearly 4 volts of power. Jiang’s novel design does so by removing from a battery the membrane, which is a huge component of upfront costs and accounts for as much as 30% of the cost of the battery. They invented a new type of energy storage material that improves performance at a lower cost. “Membranes are also inefficient. They can’t separate the positive and negative sides completely, so there is always crossover,” he said.
The group has submitted temporary patent applications. “There is still a long way to go, but we’re advancing toward a dramatic battery transformation in the next decade. I’m confident about that. There is a lot of intense research going into pushing the boundaries of battery performance,” Jiang said.
8．What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A．Why batteries are essential.B．How to store renewable energy.
C．Why green energy is needed.D．How to conserve natural resources. 9．What’s the problem with traditional car batteries?
A．They’re too pricy.B．They’re made of rare materials.
C．They’re slow to charge.D．They have a potential explosion risk. 10．What can we say about Jiang’s novel design?
A．It may reshape the battery industry.B．It’s inappropriate for large-scale use.
C．It may help minimize power consumption.D．It’s subject to mature industry
standards.
11．What is Jiang’s attitude towards the prospect of the battery?
A．Dismissive.B．Uncertain.C．Positive.D．Pessimistic.
Imagine being an Olympic racer. Before stepping onto the track, you have to decide which pair of shoes to wear: One made from sustainable materials or a traditionally built model? If you’re like most people, you’d opt for the non-sustainable version. Consumer behavior research indicates sustainable products are often assumed to be weaker, less durable and perform worse than non-sustainable ones.
But are there instances in which sustainability is not a liability? To investigate this, researchers conducted a series of studies. They theorized that under some circumstances, sustainability may provide a halo effect, meaning that being perceived as sustainable also leads consumers to assume other positive characteristics about them as well.
In the first study, 595 participants were asked to make judgments about several household products like washing powder. The results suggest one’s values do play a role: People with higher environmental values viewed sustainable products as also being higher-performing, thus lending support for the halo effect theory.
The second experiment looked specifically at the effect of messaging, testing to see whether focusing the sustainability claims on the company, as opposed to the product, would be more effective in driving participants’ belief in product performance. 270 participants were asked. The results suggest that associating sustainability with the company has a much larger impact than messaging about product sustainability.
Study 3 sought to further expand these mechanisms by examining the influence of societal impact. 148 participants who saw various advertisements for products either described as having a “sustainable benefit” or “societal benefit” were more likely to see the products as being of higher performance if they were presented as positively impacting society, above and beyond merely being sustainable, supporting the idea that the halo effect is driven by the belief of the company as a moral agent engaged in socially beneficial behavior.
Contrary to previous thinking, this research illustrates that sustainability claims can produce positive belief about product performance in the above conditions. Like the track star, consumers often feel sustainability and performance exclude each other. When the brand (品牌) presents it just the right way, there doesn’t need to be a trade-off. These can be one and the same.
12．What does the underlined word “liability” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Priority.B．Secret.C．Drag.D．Target.
13．Product sustainability produces a positive halo effect when sustainability claims A．highlight the product B．are aimed to generate profits
C．contrast with consumers’ values D．are made about the company itself 14．On what basis did the researchers reach the study outcome?
A．Previous experience.B．Sales statistics.
C．Respondents’ opinions.D．Social phenomenon.
15．Which is the best title for the text?
A．How Green Products Benefit Consumers
B．How Consumers View Company Culture
C．How Sustainability Claims Impact Product Quality
D．How Psychology Helps the Belief in Green Products
二、七选五
Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation.
easily applicable tips on creating stronger neighbor relationships.
The first step is introducing yourself when you move to a new neighborhood or when a newcomer moves in. Leave them a note under their door to introduce yourself. 17 It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune and opting for a potted plant or baked biscuits will do. These actions present excellent opportunities to connect with them.
Be respectful of your neighbors. It’s in poor taste to have regular insensitive parties at your place causing disturbances. Before your party, it’s good practice to notify your neighbors. Besides, avoid chatting them up for hours on end, which may be inconvenient, especially if you don’t know their schedules. 18 When you borrow anything, return it in due time. If you accidentally break their things, replace them without being asked to.
19 You could offer to babysit your neighbors’ kids, help with snow removals or even keep an eye on their home when they’re away. Such acts of reaching out to your neighbors make for stronger relationships.
As Emma Seppälä put it, “social connectedness generates a positive feedback loop (圈) of social, emotional and physical well-being.” It feels so easy to just stay home without having to engage with your neighbors but connecting with them is worth the effort. 20
A．Remember every small gesture counts.
B．A crisis is a test of communication skills.
C．It can actually boost your mood in the long run.
D．Slipping it in their mailbox further solidifies friendship.
E．It’s essential to ensure you maintain decent relationships with them.
F．Alternatively, you can give them a gift while making yourself known to them.
G．Only by establishing healthy boundaries will you achieve peaceful coexistence.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in
meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

These events occur when single-celled organisms, known as dinoflagellates (甲藻), suddenly give off a kind of light after being disturbed. They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. Here are a few tips to help you witness bioluminescence: Monitor Social Media The first reports of a bioluminescence event are likely to show up on Instagram and Twitter, which are easily searchable. You can also set up a warning on Google that will round up news coverage. Check With Aquariums Such institutions as the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey might post updates on their websites or social media feeds, especially if bioluminescence is happening locally. Find a Dark Location If bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. Get out before the moon rises for the best conditions and some experts also suggest that two hours after sunset is a good bet. Give your eyes time to adjust and use your flashlight’s red light, which will keep your vision adjusted to the darkness. Track Hotspots The best displays can vary from night to night, so check again on social media for updates. The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence. Meanwhile, north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore, Tomales Bay is a dependable spot for bioluminescence and you can go out on guided trips with Blue Waters Kayaking. 1. What kind of condition is better for witnessing bioluminescence? A. Hot dry weather. B. Warm rainy weather. C. Cold rainy weather. D. Cold dry weather. 2. What should you stay away from when witnessing bioluminescence? A. Water. B. Sunset. C. Darkness. D. Light. 3. Where may be the best place to see bioluminescence?

2023-2024学年山东省名校联盟高三上学期期中英语试题 With its grand castle and famous festival, Edinburgh is a tourist attraction. But Scotland’s capital isn’t just a collection of big-ticket sights. Set on a series of extinct volcanoes and blessed with charming antique alleys and grand squares, Edinburgh distinguishes itself with long history and unique tradition. Edinburgh isn’t just worth visiting. It’s worth throwing yourself into. Here’s what you need to know before you dive in. Arriving in Edinburgh Edinburgh’s airport is 13 km away from the city center.
