Years later, the numbers continue to drop. As a wildlife lover, Anikawanted to do something to help protect the animals still threatened by illegal hunting.“Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements andspeed. She realized she could use it to “increase the detection accuracy of potential illegal hunters”.Over the next two years, Anika worked on inventing a software, which can classify a figure as either an elephant or a human based on the speed, group size,how it turns and other patterns in videos.The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone.The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whetherobjects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night.“Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.”4．Why was Anika surprised?A．Elephant populations were small.B．Elephants were losing their habitats.C．Elephant tusks were illegally traded.D．Elephants were an endangered species.5．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The speed.B．The difference.C．The work.D．The software.6．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．The low cost of the camera.B．The flight pattern of the drone.C．The components of the device.D．The advantages of the software.7．Which word best describes Anika according to the last paragraph?A．Optimistic.B．Tolerant.C．Talented.D．Curious.In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback (反馈) suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny orexplain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript (手稿).“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect“ may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 8．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1? A．To offer an example to handle failure.B．To describe a shallow understanding of failure.C．To introduce a common attitude towards failure.D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.9．What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”?A．It protects us from false feedback.B．It pictures us as competitive people.C．It poses a severe threat to self-image.D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves.10．What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Unhappily.B．Mistakenly.C．Hurriedly.D．Carelessly. 11．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?A．Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.B．Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.Scientists believe they are close to developing a cancer vaccine. Already, the vaccine hasproved effective on mice, and has successfully stopped the growth of all cancer tumors(肿瘤).Scientists plan to begin trials this year and see whether it is safe and could produce an active immune(免疫的)response in humans.The gene-based vaccine appears to wake up the body’s immune system by encouraging it to attack cancer tumors in our bodies. Through gene technology, genes are taught to recognize cancer cells through a protein that only exists on the surface of tumors. “When you use genes as a weapon, your immune system is actually a blueprint for the ‘ wanted poster’ of the enemy and will distinguish cancer cells from normal cells,“ Professor Alan Kingsman, from Oxford Biomedica which has developed the vaccine, said.He also points out that the vaccine will train immune system to attack tumors in the same way as it attacks normal infections. “The cancer vaccine could produce the desired antigen(抗原)that could be recognized by immune system. So the vaccine gets immune system to recognize those tumor cells as dangerous and sweep them out in much the same way as it destroys viruses and bacteria when we get an infection.”“You have to understand cancer is a genetic disease. Cancer treatments are facing great challenges but we couldn’t find a way out. That’s probably because we haven’t reached the core of the issue: genes. Ultimately the fundamental change of our cures will come from targeting cancer cells at genetic level. So this gene-based vaccine probably is the future, “ Dr. Richard Sullivan, from the Cancer Research Programme, said.Though working on the vaccine remains at an early stage, plans to begin clinical trials on humans are scheduled to be carried out soon. The Oxford company is hoping that the vaccine will prove as successful in humans as it has in mice.Still. it’s worth noting that many promising cancer trials end in failure.
