26、 In the UK, a country known for its bad weather and lack of sunshine, there appears to be an ever increasing number of very tanned (晒黑的)young people. So just how are they achieving their golden tans? Some are choosing the sun-free option and are getting their tans from a bottle. However, it appears that others are turning to tanning salons (沙龙), of which there are thousands in the UK.
So why do the British prefer to be tanned? Often, they are trying to emulate their favourite celebrities. Research from the British Sunbed Association suggests that many people believe a tan makes them feel and look healthier.
This is a belief that is most definitely not shared by Cancer Research UK. They firmly state that being tanned is not a sign of health. In fact, they are strongly against young people using sunbeds. On their website, they state that people who use sunbeds before the age of 35 have a higher risk of melanoma (黑素瘤).
The dangers of tanning did not appear to concern ten-year-old Kelly Thompson who hit the headlines in April after receiving severe burns from spending 16 minutes on a sunbed. Kelly's mother was shocked that her daughter had been allowed to use the sunbed and that the tanning salon was unmanned (无人看管的). She noted that: 'There was no one to give advice on using these potentially dangerous machines. '
Whether the British government has been taking notice of such recent tanning tragedies is not clear. What is clear however is that self-regulation (自行监管) in the sunbed industry looks unlikely to continue. Just after Kelly's story was reported in the news, the government issued a statement advising that people under 18 should not use sunbeds and that all salons should employ trained staff.
【1】According to the passage, most tanned people in the UK .
A.dislike the sunless weather B.consider tanning unhealthy
C.distrust the tanning salons D.want to imitate their idols
【2】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Being tanned is not healthy but dangerous to young people.
B.People over 35 have a higher risk of melanoma.
C.Teenagers should avoid using sunbeds.
D.Using sunbeds does more harm to people under 35.
【3】What did Kelly Thompson's mother complain?
A.Her daughter was old enough to be tanned.
B.No one takes care of her little daughter during the tanning.
C.Her daughter was not allowed to use the sunbed.
D.Her daughter received hot burns less than 16 minutes.
【4】This passage intends to .
A.inform young people of the risk of using sunbeds
B.encourage the salons to employ trained staff
C.persuade teenagers to be tanned
D.blame the British government
27、Conservation scientist Kim Williams-Guillen was trying her best to come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles (海龟) from egg thieves when she had an “aha” moment: If she placed a fake (假) egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles’ nests, she might be able to track the thieves.
Williams-Guillen found a pliable plastic material to mimic (仿造) the shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then used a 3D printer to produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtle come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once the fakes are covered in sand and mix with the real eggs, it’s very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest moving egg traveled 137 kilometers inland. The fake egg sent its final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs through “all of the players in the entire chain.”
By understanding that chain, Williams-Guillen says researchers can identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a tool to better understand their routes, which could help them-and eventually law enforcement-identify larger players in the chain.
In the meantime, Williams-Guillen and her colleagues are working to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle conservation organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are going to engage communities with local outreach and education programs to save sea turtles. She says, “The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying (布署) eggs.”
【1】What can be learnt from paragraph 2?
A．Fake eggs are made and employed.
B．Sea turtles have become endangered.
C．Sea turtles lay eggs during the daytime.
D．The idea of fake eggs came into being.
【2】Why did researchers track the turtle eggs?
A．To confirm whether the fake eggs really work.
B．To provide data for doing research on turtle eggs.
C．To arrest the locals stealing the turtle eggs from the beach.
D．To identify the trading routes and get the big players punished.
【3】What does Williams-Guillen mean by saying “The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying eggs” in the last paragraph?
A．Deploying eggs needs advocating further.
B．Turtle conservation mainly relies on joint efforts.
C．She feels disappointed with the local communities.
D．Deploying eggs makes no difference in preserving turtles.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．Saving endangered sea turtles is urgent
B．Endangered turtles can be traced with GPS
C．GPS eggs helps to save endangered sea turtles
D．A conservation scientist is devoted to protecting sea turtles
28、 "I'm ready." said Alyssa Carson, a now 17-year-old astronaut-in-training from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For her, riding the most aggressive(刺激的)roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years doing something on it, growing food, performing science experiments, and searching for signs of life. "The Martian is actually very accurate." she said, "A lot of the things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen." She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.
Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans. Five animal friends go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part, a mission to Mars. "I thought 'This red planet is so cool, ' " she said. "I started watching videos of rovers' landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room I would look at. We started getting telescopes so we could look at space. "
At 7 her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. "That was the weekend of my life, "she said. "I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more... I got to see a life-size rocket. " She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada; and Izmir, Turkey.
At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated(模拟) missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.
When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby. "I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day, "she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president. "
【1】After being sent to Mars, what will happen to Alyssa Carson?
A．She will meet NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus.
B．She will be the youngest to have completed astronaut training.
C．She will be the first human to perform different tasks on the Mars.
D．She will have visited the space camp in Huntsville, Alabama for nearly 20 times.
【2】What kind of personalities does Alyssa Carson have?
A．Patient and responsible.
B．Humorous and confident.
C．Respectable and generous.
D．Determined and ambitious.
【3】What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A．To encourage tours to the Mars.
B．To promote the values of American teens.
C．To present a rising American space star.
D．To introduce American space industry.
29、What the Next Era of Globalization Will Look Like
Editor: You talk in the book about how fragile many global supply chains have become. Why would a less globalized, more localized supply chain tend to be more resilient?
Rana: Well, for starters, you have proximity (亲近).【1】. We had these “just-in-time”, “efficient” supply chains that were built, taking products around the world. It saves big companies a lot of money as long as nothing is going wrong in the world. But when anything goes wrong, be it a tsunami, be it a geopolitical event, be it a war, a trade war, a cold war, a hot war, you get problems. 【2】
Also, I would say when I think of resiliency, I think of sustainability. And well before the pandemic or the war in Ukraine, companies were actually already starting to think about localization for all kinds of reasons. 【3】. The wage productivity arbitrage(工资套利)was losing its appeal. Wages were rising enough in the east so that the arbitrage didn’t make as much sense as it used to.
Finally, you are starting to have environmental concerns where companies are being asked to consider, “Okay, how many units of carbon are you expending to tote X product to Y location?” All of this was sort of pushing that notion of localization for resiliency.
Editor: 【4】. Why not use antitrust(反垄断)to encourage more competition-but keep supply chains globalized?
Rana: I don’t see them as an either-or proposition; I see them as ideas that work hand in hand. Let me give you an example: Right after the pandemic hits, everybody goes into lockdown, suddenly nobody’s eating out. Restaurants are closed; grocery stores have huge lines in front of them. And yet there are no products on the shelves. You can’t find tomato sauce, you can’t find juice. There are all these strange gaps that start to appear. And you might say, “Well, why is that?”
A．Whereas when you have more localized systems, you just don’t have those sorts of problems of hauling things halfway around the world.
B．In markets where you did have more localized agriculture or greater use of community farm programs or farmers markets, you didn’t have that problem.
C．You write that monopoly (垄断)is a source of weakness, because it means companies and consumers rely on a single source.
D．One of the messages in my book that I’m really trying to get across is place matters: The world is not flat; the world is bumpy(颠簸的).
E．One of which is that the sort of cheap capital for cheap labor model between the U. S. and Asia didn’t really work.
F．An efficient market theory would say that prices of commodities always reflect all available information about the supply and demand.
