22、There is no best way to learn a language, just different ways that suit different people. Some people prefer to “pick up” the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on the meanings of words and don’t worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn’t suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.
Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning can be great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.
With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you’ll also benefit from cooperating with other users.
【1】The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered _______.
A.passive learning
B.natural and active learning
C.the most effective learning method

B.classroom studying can be boring sometimes
C.not all learning materials can help improve our language level
D.students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-study

A.How to find a personal tutor.

23、 Reading in dim light won't damage your eyes, you don't need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy and shaving your legs won't make the hair grow back faster.
These well-worn theories are among seven "medical myths" exposed in a paper published in the British Medical Journal.
Two U.S. researchers, Aaron Carroll and Rachel Vreeman, took seven common beliefs and searched the archives for evidence to support them.
Despite frequent mentions in the popular press of the need to drink eight glasses of water, they found no scientific basis for the claim. The other six "myths" are:
Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
The majority of eye experts believed it was unlikely to do any permanent damage, but it might make you squint, blink more and have trouble focusing, the researchers said
Shaving makes hair grow back faster or coarser
It has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair regrowth. But stubble lacks the finer taper of unshaven hair, giving the impression of coarseness.
Eating turkey makes you drowsy
It does contain an amino acid(氨基酸) called tryptophan (色氨酸)that is involved in sleep and mood control. But turkey has no more of the acid than chicken or minced beef. Eating lots of food and drink at holidays are probably the real cause of sleepiness.
We use only 10 percent of our brains
This myth arose as early as 1907 but imaging shows no area of the brain is silent or completely inactive.
Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
This idea may stem from ghoulish novels. The researchers said the skin dries out and retracts after death, giving the appearance of longer hair or nails.
Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals
Despite widespread concerns, studies have found minimal interference with medical equipment.
【1】From which is theseven "medical myths" taken ?
A.British Medical Journal
B.Chinese Medical Journal.
C.Amercian Medical Journal.
D.Japanese Medical Journal.
【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined words?
A.上瘾的
B.有食欲的
C.昏昏欲睡
D.恶心的
【3】What’s frequently mentioned in the popular press ?
A.The need to drink eight glasses of water
B.Shaving makes hair grow back faster or coarser
C.We use only 10 percent of our brains
D.Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
【4】Which is not true according to the passage?
A.tryptophan is involved in sleep and mood control.
B.turkey has more of the acid than chicken or minced beef.
C.skin dries out and retracts after death.
D.Mobile phones have minimal interference with medical equipment.
24、
If you look at a photograph of leopards, would you be able to tell which two were related based on their spots? Unless you’re a leopard expert, the answer is most likely not, says Tanya Berger-Wolf, director of the Translational Data Analytics Institute. But, she says, computers can.
Berger-Wolf and her team are pioneering a new field of study called imageomics (成像组学) which uses machine learning to obtain biological data from photos and videos of living organisms. They have recently begun working together with researchers studying leopards to compare spot patterns of moms and children using efficient algorithms (算法).
Berger-Wolf says the computer uses algorithms to count how many animals are in the image, as well as where and when it was taken, which could contribute to population counts. Not only can AI do this at a much lower cost than hiring people but also at a faster rate. In August 2021, AI analyzed 17 million images instantly.
As Berger-Wolf points out, population size is the most basic indicator of a species’ wellness. AI scanned 11,000 images of whale sharks to create hot spots and help researchers identify individual whale sharks and track their movement, which led to updated information about their population size. This new data made the conservation status of the whale shark changed from “unsafe” to “endangered” in 2016.
AI is still a fast-growing field when it comes to wildlife conservation, but Berger-Wolf is hopeful. For now, the team is cleaning the data of the leopard hot spots to ensure the results are true biologically meaningful information. If meaningful, the data could teach researchers how species are responding to changing habitats and climates and show us where humans can step into help.
【1】What can we know about imageomics?
A.It takes photos for animals.
B.It helps in population counts.
C.It’s started by leopard experts.
D.It collects data from computers.
【2】Why are whale sharks mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To introduce their new conservation status.
B.To stress the importance of population size.
C.To discuss factors for the species’ wellness.
D.To show the value of AI in animal protection.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Imageomics will further support researchers’ work.
B.These data on leopards are not reliable as expected.
C.Researchers fear AI would change animal behaviors.
D.AI could really replace human effort in animal protection.
