21、It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.
Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.
【1】What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?
A.It may do serious damage to science.
B.It can effectively popularize science.
C.It totally changes people’s attitude to science.
D.It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.
【2】Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?
A.Because they enjoy watching entertainments.
B.Because science is not easy to come up with.
C.Because they find no interest in science issues.
D.Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.
【3】What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?
A.The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.
B.The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.
C.Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.
D.Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?
A.Critical.
B.Objective.
C.Positive.
D.Negative.
22、 In the 1990s Vietnam faced a terrible problem: many children in their country were malnourished(营养不良的).The government approached Jerry Sternin, who was at the time working for Save the Children in the USA, to set up an office in Vietnam. Jerry moved his family to Vietnam but when he arrived he discovered that not everyone in the government saw hope and appreciated his presence. He was told by his sponsor in the Foreign Affairs Department that they had 6 months to make a difference.
Now Jerry had read the research and it was clear that big issues such as poverty and water cleanliness were major factors. Jerry put these findings into a bucket(桶)he called 'true but useless". He wasn't about to change poverty or how clean Vietnam's water was. Instead he set about finding examples where things were working.
Jerry set off to visit villages across the country. He asked people whether they knew of families who had children of a healthy weight even though they had access to the same resources as everyone else. And the answer was always 'yes". They all seemed to know of some families where the kids were doing much better than most. So he visited these families and observed how the mothers fed their children. Over time a pattern came into view. Mothers of children with a healthy weight did four things differently from the rest.
What happens next illustrates Jerry Sternin's talent. Instead of racing down the street screaming about his findings and advocating everyone with malnourished kids adopting these four behaviours, Sternin identified 50 families in 14 villages who could benefit and then took groups of 10 mothers to cook with the mothers with the healthy kids. They practiced together and learned a new way of behaving.
After 6 months 65% of the children were better nourished and stayed that way. Throughout the 90s this approach benefited 2. 2 million children in 265 villages and became the standard approach to fixing child malnutrition in Vietnam.
【1】From the passage we can see that when Jerry got to Vietnam .
A.he found the problem was too difficult for him to solve
B.he felt some people in the government doubted his ability
C.he spent 6 months staying with families of the unhealthy children
D.he brought with him the treatment for malnourished children there
【2】What did Jerry believe was the key to solving the problem?
A.Changing poverty.
B.Reading about research.
C.Cleaning drinking water.
D.Finding a healthy pattern.
【3】In what way were families with healthy children different from others?
A.How they were fed. B.How they were educated.
C.How much they exercised. D.How wealthy they were.
【4】What played a key role in solving the problem?
A.Jerry Sternin's devotion to work.
B.Jerry Sternin's team spirit.
C.Jerry Sternin's choice of the right method.
D.Jerry Sternin's wide range of knowledge.
23、New York's iconic, blue-green statue of liberty wasn't always green. When the statue was gifted to the US from France in 1885, she was actually a shiny copper color. A new video reveals the chemical reactions involving oxygen and even air pollution that led to her color change from copper to liberty green. The statue of liberty was a gift from France to the US as a way of commemorating the US's fight for independence, as well as their own aspiration for democracy.
A video, published by the American Chemical Society, explains that the 305-foot (93 meter) statue was built over nine years in sections of copper skin on top of an iron skeleton.
In her first few decades in the Big Apple, the statue slowly turned from that shiny copper color to a dull brown and the, finally, to the blue-green, or as they'd say back in France, 'verdigris' we see today,' said the video's narrator.
When it changed color, some officials suggested restoring her back to her original color, but after the public protested against this decision, she was left the way she is. The statue's color change was as a result of oxidation reactions between copper and the air. But it was more than one reaction - the color change is due to about 30 years worth of different reactions leading to a mixture of greenish minerals.
Oxidation reactions happen when an atom loses an electron to another atom.
In the case of the statue of liberty, her color change was bound to happen due to oxygen in the atmosphere that is 'hungry' for electrons. On top of this, elements of New York City's polluted air added to the color change too.
The first chemical reaction of the color change involved copper giving up electrons to electron-hungry oxygen in the atmosphere. This led to a mineral called cuprite - which is pinkish red.
Then, cuprite loses even more electrons to oxygen, forming a new mineral(矿物质) called tenorite, which is blackish in color. The black color of tenorite explains why the statue got darker over time, forming a dark brown color.
Then, further chemical reactions occurred when sulfur(硫) in the atmosphere reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. Sulfur comes from natural processes such as volcanic eruptions, but also from man-made emissions from boats, cars, airplanes and factories. When sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere reacts with water, it produces sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid forms green minerals with copper oxides, so the sulfuric acid in the atmosphere made the state green over time.
Added to that, chloride from the sea spray surrounding Ellis Island where the statue is located made the statue even greener.
The statue stayed this way for over 100 years because the exposed copper is now oxidized and stable, but the statue wouldn't be the same anywhere else.
【1】What is statue of liberty like at present? .
A. copper
B. pinkish red
C. blackish
D. verdigris
【2】The underlined phrase “the big apple” in Para 3 refer to .
A. Washington DC
B. New York
C. Los Angeles
D. Chicago
【3】There are chemical reactions mentioned in the passage.
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
【4】All the factors contribute to the color change of he statue except .
A. oxidation reactions between copper and the air
B. the surrounding sea spray
C. emissions from traffic vehicles
D. the sunshine from nature
24、After 11 years,China has finally completed its Tiangong space station with the docking (对接) its Mengtian lab module, establishing the Tiangong as the second operational space station apart from the US-led, multinational International Space Station (ISS).
On November 1, the Mengtian lab module, the third and final part of its Tiangong space station docked with the core Tianhe module 13 hours after being launched. Next, the Tianhe and Mengtian modules will dock with the Wentian lab module, completing Tiangong’s T-shaped basic structure. The 17.88-meter-long, 23-ton Mengtian module is the heaviest operational single-cabin active spacecraft in orbit. Mengtian consists of a workcabin, a cargo airlock cabin, a payload cabin and resource cabin. In addition, it has eight scientific experiment cabinets and 37 extravehicul. installation options, enabling more in-cabin and out-cabin experiments in a microgravity environment Mengtian also carries the world’s first space atomic clock system, consisting of a hydrogen clock, rubidium clock and an optical clock. It is the world’s most accurate time and frequency system, but to support fundamental physics research.
One of the more ambitious aims of China’s space program is to position the country as a leading provider of space-based international public goods and services, such as planetary defense. Last month, Asia Times reported about China’s plans to conduct its first asteroid deflection test in 2025 or 2026. China has also taken pioneering steps in Marsexploration. A good example is the completion of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, which has provided medium and high-resolution photos of the planet’s surface. China has also stated that it is willing to share scientific data from its Tianwen-l mission at an appropriate time and that scientists are welcome to apply for research over the data.
Moreover, China has also announced plans to send men to the moon, paving the potential way for its future settlement and economic use. And China and Russia plan to establish a permanent moon base by 2027. The proposed permanent moon base, the International Lunar Research Station(ILRS), is seen as an experimental complex designed for multiple scientific activities.
The Tiangong is open to all UN member states,with nine projects involving 17 countries including Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Peru, alongside 23 entities selected among the first batch of scientific experiments to be carried on board the station. Reflecting China’s open-door space policy, the Tiangong is designed to be “inclusive” and adaptable for foreign astronauts.
