21、Morogoro, Tanzia, British research scientist, Dr. Donna Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors. The project has trained about seven rats to date, taking around two weeks to get the rescue rats up to speed. These rescue rats are sent into mock(模拟的)earthquake ruins with tiny backpacks that contain microphones, video gears, and location trackers. These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time.
“I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to activate a switch when they find a victim and come back for a tasty treat. ” posted Dr Donna Kean on Twitter on May 26, 2022.
Dr. Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work saying, “Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in rubble. ” The highly swift rats never set off landmines and their natural swiftness makes them ideal for use in hard-to-navigate disaster zones. Their suitability for this work goes further, with rats being good at surviving in different environments and living off of anything. The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to beeps that call them back to their base.
Dr. Kean＇s team collaborates(合作) with the non-profit organization APOLO for their “Hero Rats” project. These “Hero Rats” are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey, joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area. The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines, tuberculosis (肺结核), and even sniffing out Brucellosis, an infectious disease that impacts farm animals. Dr. Kean feels hopeful about her project’s promising results and is excited to be the only organization in this space working with this species.

【2】According to the passage, what can a trained rescue rat do?
A．Set off landmines accurately.
B．Dig out those buried in rubble.
C．Figure out the signal from beeps.
D．Complete the task without a reward.
【3】What make(s) rats outweigh other animals in this project?
A．Their efforts in training.
B．Their nature of rescuing.
C．Their eagerness for survivals.
D．Their adaptability to environments.
【4】What can be inferred about the “Hero Rats“ project?
A．The results fail to prove the potential.
B．The rats have to be trained repeatedly.

D．The rats have been widely used in various fields.
22、Not even the sea is safe from the glare (强光) of humans’ light at night. Researchers published the first global maps of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.
Tim Smyth led a team to research where in the water this glow is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copy how different wavelengths of light move through water.
Next, they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物) . These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food webs. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.
Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.
The team described its findings December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.
【1】Which of the following best explains the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 1?
A．Upsetting.
B．Observing.
C．Ensuring.
D．Protecting.
【2】What do we know about copepods from the passage?
A．They are not affected by underwater light.
B．They can escape attacks with the help of light.
C．They are main eaters of other creatures.
D．They can weaken the effect of man-made light.
【3】How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4?
A．By stating opinions.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By raising questions.
D．By giving reasons.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Light Pollution from Sea Life
B．Living Conditions of Copepods
C．Discoveries of Copepods
D．Light Pollution Even in Sea
23、Singing the blues, or hitting all the right notes? Those are two potential interpretations one could make based on the latest quarterly results from Tencent Music Entertainment Group, China’s equivalent of Spotify, which is the country’s dominant provider of online music services. 【1】 But from our perspective, the report—while downbeat on the surface—is filled with positive signals showing a company working hard to build a sustainable foundation in China’s vibrant online music scene.
Industry watchers will recall that Tencent Music was among a group of Chinese tech giants that were fined last year and ordered to end their anti-competitive ways. The highest profile member of that group was e-commerce giant Alibaba, which was ordered to pay a record $2.75 billion and end its practice of threatening to kick merchants off its popular marketplaces unless they agreed not to open shops on rival platforms.
Tencent Music, the music arm of gaming giant Tencent, got off with a much lighter fine of just 500, 000 yuan ($74, 000). 【2】 But more significantly, the company was ordered to end its practice of using its market power to sign master licensing agreements for China with big music labels.
As a result of that action, Tencent Music is now facing more serious competition from its smaller rivals. 【3】 That big-figure decline was repeated throughout the report. One of the most representative was a 1.8% year-on-year decline in monthly active users (MAUs) for the company’s online music services, which dropped to 604 million. MAUs for the company’s smaller social entertainment services division fell by an even larger 28% to 162 million. The company blamed the music user decline on reduced marketing spending and cost controls, while it attributed the social entertainment decline to “industry and macro headwinds.”
【4】 That shows the company is focusing on profitable users over simple big user numbers. Paying users for the company’s music services rose 32% year-on-year to 80.2 million during the quarter, helping to fuel an 18% rise in the company’s overall music subscription revenue that accounts for nearly a third of its total. The big theme is that the company is trying to build up its paying subscribers by offering a wider range of services for music lovers and aspiring musicians.
A．That showed up in its revenue, which fell 15% year-on-year to about 6.6 billion yuan in this year’s first quarter.
B．Investors seem to be taking the former view, with Tencent Music shares falling 1.5% on Tuesday after the results came out.
C．While total user numbers were down, the picture was brighter for users who actually paid for Tencent Music’s services.
D．Still, the loss of its monopoly power took not only a toll on the company’s revenue, but also hit its profit.
E．It’s only a small amount for a company that generated 3 billion yuan in profits last year.
F．It is also promoting its Tencent Musician platform to cultivate budding young talents.
24、 At some point when you were a child,a trusted adult likely told you that if you held a seashell up to your ear, you'd hear the ocean.【1】Seashells are not special capsules that have stored the sounds of their native homes.
But what exactly is that rushing sound you're hearing?【2】 “The sound of an empty shell held up to the ear is created by echoes(回声）from sounds made in the environment.”Geerat J. Vermeil, a distinguished professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California,told us.
【3】Other structures with openings, like empty bowls or bottles, can produce similar sounds. “When the noise around us hits the internal surface of this hard seashell, multiple reflection occurs,” said Vermeil. “Whether you hold a seashell or the mouth of an empty bowl around your ear, you experience the ocean-like sound quality as a result of a phenomenon called “resonance.”
【4】 It says that you're hearing the sound of your own rushing blood in your body. But scientists also clarify that it doesn't change with variation of pulse or blood pressure. “All this is perhaps a bit unimportant, but a more interesting question is what controls the frequencies of echoes" Vermeil added,indicating that there's a need for further research into shape, volume and shell thickness in relation to pitch. 【5】 Actually, if you put a shell to your ear on the beach, the sounds you hear will include partly some ocean noises.
A.The same goes for shells.
B.The answer is less mystical.
C.This effect is not limited to shells.
D.Now you probably know that this is not true.
E.Scientists are working hard to find the answer.
F.Maybe the original myth is not completely false.
G.There's another explanation for the rushing sound in a seashell.
