Genetics Institute in London,who was not____28____in the research, noted that the latest study was observational and did not uncover cause and effect.The finding could reflect a generally more healthy lifestyle,he said.“It is not clear that such a diet itself reduces dementia risk,although it is reasonable that it might do so.It is important to note that the study concerns all forms of dementia,not____29____Alzheimer’s disease.In my opinion,if there is an effect of diet then it is more likely to be on cardiovascular(心血管的)health in general and hence to_____30_____ dementia due to disease of blood vessels rather than Alzheimer’s disease.”Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A:ClozeDirection:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and

following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For38-year-old Justin Herald,the journey to wealth began one Sunday morning at a church in Sydney's northwest, when he was involved in a quarrel with a member of the church choir."You have an attitude problem,"she told him.The accusation sparked something in him,and he borrowed$50from his brother to have four T-shirts printed with the slogan:"I don't have an attitude problem;you have a perception problem.""It was the best$50I ever spent,"laughs Herald.By the end of the morning,he had sold three of the four T-shirts.With the money he made,he had another six printed,then12,then24."That first year the earning were$98,000,"he says.His business,Attitude Inc.,is now a multi-million-dollar company with a wide range of products selling in3,500storesacross Australia.His business was due to not just clever marketing-the public loved the slogan-but also he has to admit that in those days there was very little competition in his sector of the clothing industry,and he was in the right place at the right time.The media spotlight also helped,with people paying attention to Herald's likeable personality and infections passion for his business:the night of one TV appearance,187stores rang to get his products into their stores.Herald sold the business three years ago,by which time it was turning over$30million a year,and now spends his time as a motivational speaker.His message:anyone can be financially successful if they set their mind to it."You have to have a lot of stickability,because not everything is going to work the way you plan it."Still living in Castle Hill with his wife and two children,Herald believes too many successful people become caught up in the trappings of wealth."I have lived here since I left school at16,"he says."In this area,you don't forget where you came from."46.Why does Herald think it was the best$50he ever spent?A.Because that sum of money covered the cost of four T-shirtB.Because that sum of money showed his accusation was wrong.C.Because he received that sum of money when he was in need.D.Because he gained more than expected from that sum of money.47.According to Herald,the success of his business resulted from_________.A.good timing and cooperationB.business sense and luckC.fierce competition and passionD.family background and motivation48.The underlined

GainsC.Start a BusinessD.Never Too Old to Challenge Yourself(B)In Factfulness,Professor Hans Roslingasks raisesquestions like‘How many girls finish school?’and‘Whatpercentage of the world’s population is poor?’It turns out thatthe majority of us get the answers to these questionscompletely wrong.Why does this happen?Factfulness sets outto explain why,showing that there are several human instinctsthat distort(扭曲)our perspective.This book focuses on ourinstinctive biases(偏见),offering practical advice to help us see the good as well as the bad in the world.Are things getting worse every day?Is progress an impossible goal?In Enlightenment Now,Steven Pinker looks at the big picture of human progress and finds good news.We are living longer,healthier,freer and happier lives.Pinker asks us to stop paying so much attention to negative headlines and news that declares the end of the world.Instead,he shows us some carefully selected data.In75surprising graphs,we see that safety,peace,knowledge and health are getting better all over the world.Economic inequality,he claims,is not really a problem,because it is not actually that important for human well-being.For more than two hundred years those who hold negative thoughts have been winning the public debate.They tell us that things are getting worse.But as a matter of fact,life is getting better.Income,food availability and lifespan are rising; disease,violence and child mortality are falling.Best-selling author Matt Ridley doesn’t only explain how things are getting better;he gives us reasons why as well.He shows us how human culture evolves in a positive direction thanks to the exchange of ideas and specialization.This bold book looks at the entirety of human history-from the Stone Age to the21st century—and changes the concept that it’s all going downhill.The majority of people believe that developing countries are in a terrible situation:suffering from incredible poverty and wars.The reality is that a great transformation is occurring. Over the past20years,more than700million people have increased their income and come out of poverty.This is happening across developing countries around the world.In his book The Great Surge,Stevens Radelet describes how all ofthis is happening and,more importantly,it shows us how wecan speed up the process.50.What is the common feature of the four books?A.They focus on the present situations concerning developing countries.B.They emphasize the importance of dealing with problems in poor countries.C.They try to direct readers to a positive path in terms of human development.D.They appeal to show more sympathy and understanding for poor countries.51.Which author supports his arguments by providing factual evidence?A.Hans Roslingasks.B.Steven Pinker.C.Matt Ridley.D.Stevens Radelet.52.Which of the following can be a possible title for Book3?A.The Rational Optimist.B.Human History:Where Are We?C.A Public Debate.D.Out of Povetty:What and How?(C)From Smells to SoundtracksWhen a young sawfly,a bee-like insect,is threatened by its attackers like ants,it emits a mixture of unpleasant smells to defend itself.These emissions can seriously annoy a potential enemy.Scientists wanting to study these smelly compounds—to understand which aspects of them discourage attackers and why—face great challenges.Meetups between sawflies and ants in a lab are difficult to carry out.There are also a very limited quantity of the insects’emissions.On the side,Jean-Luc Boevé,a zoologist who studies insects,from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences,is an amateur musician and composer.He decided to try a different way—the sound approach.“To be honest,I considered this project so unpractical myself that I set it aside,”he said.It was months before Boevéand his partner,Rudi Giot,finally made a resolution to get started on it.They chose16sawfly species’emissions to translate into sounds.First,they figured out which molecules(分子)were present in each smelly compound and in what amounts.Then they assigned various characteristics of those molecules matching properties of sound.For example,smaller molecules like a kind of acid found in vinegar,a sour-tasting liquid, evaporate(挥发)quickly,so Boevéand Giot assigned them sounds with higher pitch(音高).Larger molecules were given lower-pitched sounds.In all,the scientists created individual audio descriptions for20molecules.Then they combined the sounds of each molecule present in a sawfly’s smell to construct the insect’s soundtrack.If a molecule was of higher proportion in an emission,they assigned it a higher volume.In such a case,the smaller a molecule is,the higher its pitch will be;and the higher the proportion of a molecule is,the higher its volume will be.To test out the audio descriptions they created,Boevéand Giot examined people’s reactions to the soundtracks andcompared them to ants’reactions to the original smells.They played the16emission soundtracks and the20molecule sounds through speakers to about50study participants.Then the scientists measured how far people backed up to get to a “comfortable position”away from the noise.Most of the study volunteers told the researchers that the high pitch,as well as the high volume,was what made them withdraw.“Ants and volunteers moved away from a chemical and its matching soundtrack respectively,”the researchers wrote.Boevésaid he hoped the process would give other zoologists a new way to compare sawflies’chemical defenses with those from other insects.It may also offer researchers clues about which molecules fight off enemies most.53.What do we know about Boevéfrom paragraph2?A.He was devoted to the research for several months.B.He started a new approach after months’hesitation.C.He came up with a creative idea thanks to a composer.D.He was faced with difficulties in studying rare sawflies.54.What can be concluded in terms of the sound approach?A.The volume of sounds is based on the proportion of molecules.B.Smaller molecules and lower pitch share similar characteristics.C.Audio descriptions of the molecules can be divided into16kinds.D.Participants were required to compare the sounds with the smells.55.From paragraphs4and5,we can learn that________.A.the soundtracks are more than what humans are likely to bearB.the ants dislike the sounds as much as humans hate the smellsC.humans’reactions to the sounds resemble ants’responses to the smellsD.other zoologists are looking for innovative ways of studying molecules56.This passage is mainly intended to________.A.explain ways to transfer smells into soundtracksB.introduce research on sawfly’s effect on humansC.demonstrate a scientific study on insects’smellsD.test out people’s reaction to various soundtracks(D)A recent study published in the journal Science Advances has revealed that the United States ranks as high as third among countries contributing to coastal plastic pollution.The new research challenges the once-held assumption that the US is adequately“managing”its plastic waste.A previous study using2010data that did not account for plastic waste exports had ranked the US20th,globally,in its contribution to ocean plastic pollution.Using plastic waste generation(产生)data from2016—the latest available global numbers—scientists calculated that more than half of all plastics collected for recycling(1.99million tons of3.91million tons collected)in the US were shipped abroad.Of this,88%of exports went to countries struggling to effectively manage plastics;and between15-25% was low-value or contaminated(受污染的).It means it was unrecyclable.Taking these factors into account,the researchers estimated that up to1million tons of US-generated plastic waste ended up polluting the environment beyond its own borders.Using2016data,the paper also estimated that between0.91and1.25million tons of plastic waste generated in the US was either littered or illegally dumped into the environment bined with waste exports,this means the US contributed up to2.25million tons of plastics into the environment.Of this,up to1.5million tons of plastics ended up in coastal environments.This ranks the US as high as third globally in contributing to coastal plastic pollution.“The US generates the most plastic waste of any other country in the world,but rather than looking the problem in the eye,we have outsourced it to developing countries,”said Nick Mallos,senior director of Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas program and a co-author of the study.“The solution has to start at home.We need to create less,by cutting out unnecessary single-use plastics;we need to create better,by developing innovative new ways to package and deliver goods; and where plastics are inevitable,we need to greatly improve our recycling rates.”“Previous research has provided global values for plastic input into the environment and coastal areas,but detailed analyses like this one are important for individual countries to further assess their contributions,”said Dr.Jenna Jambeck, Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia’s College of Engineering and a co-author of the study.“In the case of the United States,it is critically important that we examine our own backyard and take responsibility for our global plastic footprint.”pared with the previous study,the new one________.A.covers data more comprehensivelyB.excludes plastic waste shipped abroadC.is contrary to the latest global numbersD.challenges the recycling way of plastics58.According to2016data,what can be learned about the plastic waste generated in the US?A.Over half of it ended up polluting the environment outside the US.B.Most of its exported plastic waste wasn’t worth recycling.C.Less than half of it was actually recycled domestically.D.More of it is littered or illegally dumped than exported.59.It is implied by Nick Mallos that________.A.plastic pollution in developing countries is more serious has been irresponsible in dealing with its plastic waste。

This way of eating can prevent cognitive (认知的) 2 but also help the heart, reduces diabetes, prevent bone loss, encourage weight loss and more, studies have found.A study published on March 8 revealed people who 3 foods from the Mediterranean and brain-focused MIND diets had fewer of the typical signs of Alzheimer’s. The MIND diet is 4 for Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.The Mediterranean diet focuses on plant-based cooking. The majority of each meal should be fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and seeds, along with a few nuts. There is a heavy 5 on extra-virgin (特级初榨的) olive oil.Meat can make a rare appearance and usually only to 6 a dish. Instead, meals may include eggs, dairy and poultry, but in much smaller portions than in the traditional Western diet.Participants who 7 most closely to the diet were more likely to be female, have a BMI within the healthy range, have a higher educational level, and be more physically active than those with lower persistence in the diet.David Curtis, an honorary professor at UCL Genetics Institute in London, who was not 8 in the research, noted that the latest study was observational and did not uncover cause and effect. The finding could reflect a generally more healthy lifestyle, he said.“It is not clear that such a diet itself reduces dementia risk, although it is reasonable that it might do so. It is important to note that the study concerns all forms of dementia, not 9 Alzheimer’s disease. In my opinion, if there is an effect of diet then it is more likely to be on cardiovascular (心血管的) health in general and hence to 10 dementia due to disease of blood vessels rather th an Alzheimer’s disease.”22. February is an exciting month for our Courageous Kitchen(CK)! One of our founders, Dwight Turner will be speaking at the press conference this week. The event is hosted by the Thailand Authority of Tourism(TAT).Here’s a peek into TAT’s interview with Dwight, where he discusses starting Courageous Kitchen, and _________ his personal passion for food with his mission to feed and educate more children in Bangkok.1. How did you start CK and what is your _________ ?Courageous Kitchen began because I was looking for a way to _________ in my free time, but I didn’t know what to do.

For 38-year-old Justin Herald, the journey to wealth began one Sunday morning at a church in Sydney's northwest, when he was involved in a quarrel with a member of the church choir. "You have an attitude problem," she told him.The accusation sparked something in him, and he borrowed $50 from his brother to have four T-shirts printed with the slogan: "I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem.""It was the best $50 I ever spent," laughs Herald. By the end of the morning, he had sold three of the four T-shirts. With the money he made, he had another six printed, then 12, then 24. "That first year the earning were $98,000," he says.His business, Attitude Inc., is now a multi-million-dollar company with a wide range of products selling in 3,500 stores across Australia. His business was due to not just clever marketing - the public loved the slogan - but also he has to admit that in those days there was very little competition in his sector of the clothing industry, and he was in the right place at the right time.The media spotlight also helped, with people paying attention to Herald's likeable personality and infections passion for his business: the night of one TV appearance, 187 stores rang to get his products into their stores.Herald sold the business three years ago, by which time it was turning over $30 million a year, and now spends his time as a motivational speaker. His message: anyone can be financially successful if they set their mind to it. "You have to have a lot of stickability, because not everything is going to work the way you plan it."Still living in Castle Hill with his wife and two children, Herald believes too many successful people become caught up in the trappings of wealth. "I have lived here since I left school at 16," he says. "In this area, you don't forget where you came from."1. Why does Herald think it was the best $50 he ever spent?A．Because that sum of money covered the cost of four T-shirtB．Because that sum of money showed his accusation was wrong.C．Because he received that sum of money when he was in need.D．Because he gained more than expected from that sum of money.2. According to Herald, the success of his business resulted from _________.A．good timing and cooperation B．business sense and luckC．fierce competition and passion D．family background and motivation3. The underlined word "stickability" （paragraph 6） is closest in meaning to _________.A．competence B．conscience C．persistence D．fortune4. The best title for the passage might be _________A．Attitude Pays Off B．No Bravery, No GainsC．Start a Business D．Never Too Old to Challenge Yourself 24.1. What is the common feature of the four books?A．They focus on the present situations concerning developing countries.B．They emphasize the importance of dealing with problems in poor countries.C．They try to direct readers to a positive path in terms of human development.D．They appeal to show more sympathy and understanding for poor countries.2.

They are all very old countries and you can still see many old buildings there.” Her father answered.“Yes, old buildings and history are interesting, but some people like to go somewhere with beautiful beaches,” said Anna.“That’s true, Anna,”her father said. “Sometimes it’s nice to visit countries that have good weather and beautiful beaches. That’s why places like Australia are so popular.”“Well, I think one of the best things about visiting different countries is the people you meet. People should always be friendly and helpful to tourists so that more tourists will visit their country,” said Anna.“Another reason for me to go to the country is the delicious food.

2022-2023学年上海市进才中学高一下学期期中英语试卷1. Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best firs each blank.The Rising Trend of Nationalism and Anti-GlobalizationAs technology advances and connectivity increases, countries are closer to each other than ever. Economically, trade blocs (集团，阵营) have increased partnership among countries and encouraged production specialization. Politically, countries are moving towards a free market and competing 1 additional foreign investments. However, it seems that these trends 2 (go) in a slightly different direction in the past few years. Governments are encouraging more domestic investments and developments. A stronger sense of nationalism is developing while the term “globalization” now seems to h ave a negative connotation to some audiences.Brexit (脱欧), for example, had been in the media spotlight for the past several years. The word is shorthand for Britain’s separation from the European Union. First 3 (bring) to the surface by a referendum (公投) in 2013, it had always been a controversial topic. Supporters of Brexit wanted sovereignty, the power that a country has to govern 4 both economically and politically. They were eager to leave the EU because they felt 5 the organization had been off the track and would no longer provide them with enough benefits as a member. As the sentiment of nationalism increased, 6 did people’s willingness to pull back after years of social mobility and cultural exchanges. In the end, Britain officially left the EU on Jan. 21, 2020. Undoubtedly, Brexit, 7 outcome will be unpredictable in the next few years, is sure to transform the lives of many. However, whether the U. K. will change for the better in the long run remains 8 (see).The Italian government is also going through some intense criticism from its people. There has been a constant voice against immigration and the European Union in Italy. Some people are in favor of Italy 9 (pull) back from the EU and deporting 500,000 illegal immigrants that were already in Italy. Britain and Italy are just two examples of the surfacing trend of nationalism. Many other countries are tightening up on trade negotiations and foreign policies as well. Who knows 10 will happen in the next five years? The effects of these changes are unknown and can only be discovered in the future.2. Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. essentiallyB. possibilityC. analyzedD. inspiredE. reactF. trackingG. necessarilyH. rulesI. listJ. disastersK. positiveBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic 1 for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By 2 people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than 3 and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share astory with your friends, you care a lot more how they 4 . You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers studying word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations —found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t 5 mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that 6 , Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague 7 the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the 8 than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this 9 feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that 10 negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way orthe other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it wasto be shared, as Dr. Berger expl ains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”3. Globalization Is Causing the Death of Minority LanguagesAs the world becomes more connected, language diversity is declining at an unprecedented rate. Forty percent of the world’s 7,000 language s in ________ are at risk of disappearing, according to estimates by the Endangered Languages Project. That trend is ________ linked to economic globalization, as suggested by a new report published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.“The dominating ef fect of a single socioeconomic factor, GDP per capita (人均), on speaker growth rate suggests that economic growth and globalization are ________ drivers of recent language speaker declines (mainly since the 1970s onwards), through political and educational developments,” the researchers conclude in their report.Actually, the impact of global economies on language ________ has been an argument that goes all the way back to the 1970s, when Herbert Schiller proposed the hotly debated theory of “cultural imperi alism”, which suggested economically powerful nations hold huge cultural ________ over the weaker countries they influence.However, such impact has never been fully ________ until now, according to researchers. In the study, the researchers first established a set of ________ languages, based on several factors: small speaker population sizes, rapid declines in speaker numbers, and a small geographic ________.After dealing with the numbers by using data selected from the Ethnologue, an authoritative source for basic information about the world’s languages, the researchers concluded that 25 percent of the world’s languages are under immediate ________ of disappearing forever.Threatened languages were numerous in highly economically developed regions, like northwestern North America, northern Europe, and eastern Asia. ________ they explored relationships between the danger of extinction and multiple environmental factors, including rainfall and temperature, GDP per capita was the factor most tightly correlating with at-risk languages.Of course, there are factors ________ GDP that play a role in the disappearance of minority languages. According to UNESCO, languages are also ________ with external forces such as military, religious, cultural or educational subiugation (征服), or by ________ forces such as a community’s negative attitude towards its own language. ________, even the internet has beenlinked to the extinction of little-spoken tongues by creating a digital ________ that locks out some groups and give advantages to others (and their languages).1.A．reality B．stock C．use D．need2.A．to a great extent B．at that time C．in this way D．in the end3.A．official B．major C．complete D．cultural4.A．difference B．familiarity C．similarity D．diversity5.A．dominance B．ruling C．preference D．spread6.A．globalized B．furthered C．quantified D．communicated 7.A．endangered B．extinct C．fluent D．native8.A．development B．feature C．gap D．range9.A．pressure B．control C．law D．threat10.A．Once B．While C．As D．Because11.A．apart from B．as to C．on behalf of D．in terms of 12.A．halved B．associated C．threatened D．replaced13.A．definite B．local C．double D．internal14.A．Somehow B．Moreover C．Comparatively D．Therefore15.A．divide B．device C．clip D．trade4. “Choose your friends wisely” may not only be good parental advice but also a way to do better in college, a research study finds.The group of three researchers put that advice to the test at Berea College, a small liberal arts school in Kentucky, by looking at how much friends actually influence study habits and grades. They found that students who befriended studious (勤奋的) peers spent more hours studying themselves and posted higher grades during their freshman year.“It’s no fun to study by yourself,” said Nirav Mehta, one of the study’s authors, explaining the intuition behind the study. “If you want to goof off, and your friends are at the library, then you’re going to go to the library, too. And while you’re there, you’re probably going to get some studying done too.”Of course, it’s possible that studious people gravitate toward other studious people. They might have hit the boo ks and got as many A’s no matter who their friends were. So the researchers checked to see if randomly assigned roommates also have a positive influence on study habits and grades. They found almost the same results: students who were assigned a studious roommate freshman year also studied more each day and had higher grade-point averages.Unfortunately, the opposite is also true, the researchers found. If you have friends and roommates who don’t study a lot, you’re likely to get dragged down by their poor habits, studying less and earning lower grades.Analyzing friends and study habits is usually difficult for researchers. But students at Berea College were asked to list their four best friends at the end of each semester and they kept careful daily logs of their time, including time spent studying. At the beginning of freshman year, the students were surveyed on their high school study habits. The researchers also had access to roommate assignments, high school grades and college grades.From this informat ion, the economists calculated the average amount of time each student’s college friends had reported studying in high school. They found that for every additional 10 hours a week that a student’s friends had spent studying, on average, the student’s own s tudy time in college would likely increase by almost 25 minutes a day, and the student’s own GPA would likely rise by almost a tenth of a point during freshman year.1. The phrase “goof off” (paragraph 3) most probably means ________.A．achieve higher grades B．choose your friendsC．go to the library D．be lazy about studying2. Why did the researchers also study the randomly assigned roommates?A．To further test the theory. B．To figure out more study habits.C．To put forward a new theory. D．To get more students to work hard.3. To carry out their research, what information did the researchers collect from students at Berea College?A．How many studious friends they have.B．How they comment on their friends’ grades.C．How much time they spent studying each day.D．How they thought of their own college grades.4. What suggestion would the researchers most likely give college students?A．If you want to do well in study, you’d better pick a hardworking friend.B．If you want to get on well with your roomm ates, you’d better work hard.C．If you want to raise your GPA, you’d better keep track of your study time.D．If you want to have a happy freshman year, you’d better care less about peer effects.5.

A generation understandably frightened by “adulting” may well welcome the linguistic (语言的) comfort food of childlike language. And once established, the habit can easily make the jump to those of us more advanced in years. After all, a kid is inside every one of us, and few people are resistant to the infectiousness of creativity. Young people are the primary drivers of language change, but even we “olds” — as the young are used to putting it — like to change things up now and then. As new slang creeps across generational divides, however, it inevitably stirs up people’s deepest linguistic anxieties. Does the new trend of kidspeak represent a dumbing-down of the English language? Just the opposite: with the rise of kidspeak, we are actually witnessing English’s enrichment.It has long been ordinary for one language to borrow from another, and even from a dialect of the same language: Black English has lent mainstream English words like diss and the “angry” meaning of salty. Kidspeak extends our word stock in exactly the same way that Old Norse, French, and Latin once did. On the internet, for example, kidspeak r efers to a “smol kitty” and a “smol baby,” but not a “smol mailbox” or “smol Blu-ray player.” Smol, then, is not merely a way of spelling small, but a more specific term referring to cuteness. Just missing out on becoming Word of the Year at the American D ialect Society’s 2019 meeting was yeet, seemingly meant to imitate the sound of something being thrown into a container or through a net (and often pronounced with a celebratory gesture to that effect). One now speaks of “yeeting” an empty can into the tra sh, and the word has even developed an irregular past-tense form, yote. We have kidspeak to thank for introducing these new layers of playfulness into our vocabulary.English today is arguably more fertile than it’s been since Shakespeare’s time, and those worried about the novelty of kidspeak might consider that not so long ago pedants (顽固派) were insisting the proper person should say “bal-coh-nee” for balcony, stamp o ut “nonwords” such as standpoint, and use obnoxious to mean “Tripe for injury.” Their arguments failed miserably when presented to everyday speakers, who tend to have good intuition about how language should work.Amid today’s news cycles, the emergence of kidspeak is something to celebrate. This new slang is a totally natural and endlessly witty collective advancement of the American idiom. It makes for more interesting talk. I, at least, am glad to be living with the English of right now, surrounded by all the new words.1. According to the speaker, what does the popularity of childlike language reflect?A．Old people’s increasing anxieties.B．People’s reluctance to growing up.C．Young people’s resistance to changes.D．The deepening of generational divides. 2. The example of “smol’” is intended to ________.A．form a sharp contrast with the word “yeet”B．illustrate that kidspeak enriches the English languageC．reveal how new words are loaned from other languagesD．remind readers that many English words are borrowed words3.

The Heat Vacuum (真空)Air-conditioning accounts for nearly 15 percent of building energy use in the U.S. today. The number of days with record heat could increase in the coming decades. These two facts present a difficult problem: 1Researchers at Stanford University say part of the solution is a material that pulls heat from buildings and radiates it into outer space. 2 It originated in the 1980s, when engineers found that certain types of painted-metal roofing pulled heat from buildings and radiated in wavelengths that pas s through the earth’s atmosphere. Radiative cooling never worked during the day, however, because no one had made a material that both radiates thermal energy (热能) and reflects sunlight. Reflection is critical: if a material absorbs sunlight, heat from the sun negates any cooling that thermal radiation might achieve.3 In trials on the roof of its lab, the material, made of layers of hafnium dioxide and silicon dioxide (二氧化铪和二氧化硅) on a base of silver; titanium and silicon (银、钛和硅), reflected 97 percent of sunlight. The silicon dioxide atoms absorb heat from the air on one side of the mirror and releasing thermal radiation on the other. The material radiates primarily at wavelengths between eight and 13 nanometers, which can go through the earth’s atmosphere, so rather than warming the air around the building, the heat escapes to space.Shanhui Fan, senior author of a 2014 Nature paper describing the work, imagines such mirrors covering the roofs of buildings. With its roof continually releasing heat, a build ing’s air-conditioning can relax and consume less energy. 4 Remove the mirror component and pair the material with solar cells, for example, and it could cool the cells while allowing light to reach them, making them more efficient.9. 数学家苏步青坚守他对科学的信仰，敬业地在复旦大学工作了数十年。
