22、In a major step forward for monitoring the biodiversity of marine(海洋的)systems, a new study published in the journal Environmental DNA details how Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute(MBARI) researchers are using autonomous underwater robots to sample environmental DNA(eDNA), which allows scientists to detect the presence of aquatic species from the tiny bits of genetic(遗传学的) material they leave behind. This “DNA soup” offers clues about biodiversity changes in sensitive areas and the presence of rare or endangered species-all critical to understanding and preserving a healthy ocean.
Researchers combined two novel autonomous platforms developed by MBARI for this study-the Long-Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(LRAUV) and the Environmental Sample Processor(ESP). The LRAUV can travel for weeks at a time and for hundreds of kilometers. It can enable more frequent sampling in remote sites than traditional research ships. The ESP is a robotic “laboratory-in-a-can” that filters(过滤) seawater and preserves eDNA for future study. By equipping an LRAUV with ESP technology, researchers can monitor the ocean better.
“We know that eDNA is an incredibly powerful tool for studying ocean communities, but we’ve been limited by what we can accomplish using expensive crewed research ships. Now, autonomous technology is helping us make better use of our time and resources to study previously unsurveyed regions of the ocean,” said Kobun Truelove, a biological oceanographer at MBARI and the lead author of the paper.
Marine biodiversity is a measure of the abundance of individuals and species in the ocean. This interconnected mixture of organisms supports food webs, produces the air we breathe, and regulates our climate. Autonomous tools like the LRAUV and ESP enable MBARI researchers to monitor changes in sensitive ecosystems in ways that were not possible previously.
“Ship-based research will continue to play an important role in oceanographic studies, but adding new autonomous technology to the toolkit will expand capacity for research, monitoring, and resource management,” said Truelove.
【1】What do the underlined words “aquatic species” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Those living in water.
B．Those growing near water.
C．Those becoming endangered.
D．Those consuming eDNA.
【2】What can the LRAUV do?
A．Filter seawater effectively.
B．Preserve eDNA for future study.
C．Travel for months at a time in the ocean.
D．Reach remote areas of the ocean frequently.
【3】What can we infer from Truelove’s words?
A．Autonomous technology is more economical and efficient.
B．Ship-based research is more time-saving and energy-saving.
C．Autonomous robots have entirely replaced traditional research ships.
D．Crewed research ships help researchers study new parts of the ocean.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Researchers Discover a “DNA Soup”
B．Autonomous Technology Needs Improving
C．Robots Sample eDNA to Monitor Ocean Health
D．The Biodiversity of the Ocean Needs Protection

24、I was not worried about the American education system until after I started writing a column, because that’s when I found out there are English teachers who assign my column as reading material. I regularly get e-mails from students asking about my use of writing techniques and other things I’ve never heard of. To which I respond, “Transfer (转学) high schools immediately! To one that teaches Shakespeare and Homer instead of the thoughtful commentary of a first-rate modern wisdom! Also, don’t do drugs! ”
I can expect to be sending more of these e-mails because of the Common Core State Standards (共同核心国家标准), which public schools are encouraged to follow. The new curriculum standards dramatically shift about half the nation’s high school English reading lists toward an emphasis on nonfiction. In a speech last year, David Coleman, the new president of the College Board, who was one of the chief creators of the Common Core, said, “It is rare in a working environment that someone says, ‘Johnson, I need a market analysis by Friday, but before that I need a vivid account of your childhood.’” I agree with this, but no one has ever asked me for a market analysis.
Coleman’s idea is that by reading clear, tightly structured nonfiction, kids will learn how to write clear, tightly structured nonfiction. And indeed, the first time I write in a new format-travel essay, screenplay, apology e-mail-I read a bunch of examples. But when I want my writing to improve, I read something that forces me to think about words differently: a novel, a poem, a George W. Bush speech. Fiction teaches you how to tell a story, which is how we express and remember nearly everything. Anyway, school isn’t merely training for work; it’s training for communication throughout our lives.
【1】How did the author feel after his column was used as students’ assignment?
A．Proud.
B．Satisfied.
C．Concerned.
D．Disappointed.
【2】What should high schools do according to David Coleman?
A．Stress nonfiction.
B．Read more fiction.
C．Teach market analysis.
D．Encourage writing.
【3】Why does the writer turn to a George W. Bush speech?
A．To create words.
B．To better his writing.
C．To tell a story.
D．To follow the format.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The shift of teaching techniques.
B．The trend of reading Shakespeare.
C．The effects of the new curriculum standards.
D．The problem with American education system.
25、 Laughter is so familiar to every one of us. There is an English saying that ______, “He who laughs last laughs the hardest.” High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.

Now at 21, Efron is one of People Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People, graces the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood’s most ______ magazine, and is traveling the world ______ the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman _______ Efron as “arguably the biggest teen star in America right now.” Simply google “Zac Efron” and you get more than 14 million _____. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and ______ in California. He took school ______ . According to Efron, “I would get crazy if I got a B and not an A in school.” It was his father who encouraged him to act. He took part in school ______ and acted in a local theater group. He also_______ singing lessons. He graduated from high school in 2006 and was _______ to the University of Southern California to study film. But he put it off--why study movies ______ you can star in them?
Now Efron is also earning more than $3 million for his ______ in High School Musical 3. Not bad for a 21-year-old. But Efron ______ remembers those bullies(欺人者). “You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they _______.” Efron said. “Also, when you get made fun of, when people point you’re your _______, it’s an opportunity for you to rise above.”
Efron has risen all the way to the top of the movie business. And he can now ______ all the way to the bank.
