21、Winemakers in the Rioja area in northern Spain make some of the best wine in the world. But in recent years, winemakers there have been having difficulty producing good wine. They say when the temperature was cooler, the wine tasted better, but it was 2.2 degrees Celsius higher than average in 2022. Now, a genetic research has shown that grape vines living for more than 35 years are better able to deal with high temperatures brought by climate change.
Researchers like Pablo Carbonell think older grape vines may be able to grow better in higher temperatures. Carbonell looks at rows of gray shapes on his computer screen. Among them was a green rectangle, which represents a kind of grape vine that produces grapes that take longer to ripen,even in warmer conditions.A longer ripeness period is what winemakers want. The current vines produce grapes that are ready to pick too early. Such grapes do not make wine that has the right color and smell and has too much alcohol.
People who work in the vineyards have long crossed old vines with new ones. Now they are working with special laboratories to find a climate-resistant vine. One of them is the Vine and Wine Research Institute,known as the ICVV in Spain. The lab is working to keep the Spanish wine making industry alive as temperatures rise. The scientists there are studying the genomes(基因组)of commonly used grapes in wine and looking for traits,or qualities,that might permit the vines to survive in a warmer climate instead of looking for mutation(变异)that causes diseases.
In addition to the genetic research, scientists are also working on different planting methods.A winery called RODA is planting vines in a curve instead of a straight line. The hope is that plants will soak up more water this way. The new vineyard is made up of vines that were over 100 years old and moved from another place.
Maria Santolaya is an agricultural engineer and part of RODA’s technical team. She said the hot weather was very problematic. But,“our biggest concern,”she added,“is what will happen in 20 or 30 years. We don’t really know how things will come out.”
【1】What mainly causes the quality of wine to decline in Spain?
A.Shortage of rainfall.
B.High temperature.
C.Genetic variation.
D.Geographical location.
【2】What does the Carbonell’s research find in paragraph 2?
A.Grapes picked too early won’t have the sugar content.
B.Grapes with a longer ripeness period make good wine.
C.Grapes in hot regions won’t lose their original flavor.
D.Grapes from older vines have a rise in production.
【3】What is being done to keep the Spanish winemaking industry alive?
A.Make use of older grape vines.
B.Develop disease-resistant grape vines.
C.Replace old grape vines with new ones.
D.Cultivate grape vines with abundant water.

22、The confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked my students how they would define science, many of them replied that it’s an objective way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties.
Actually, doubt and science often go hand in hand. Science, when properly functioning, questions accepted understandings and brings both new knowledge and new questions —not certainty. Doubt does not create trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?
As a historian of science, I would argue that it’s the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often regarded as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge accepted understandings. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new evidence arises from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are temporary understandings that involve the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of them are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it pushes us towards a better understanding. Certainties, reassuring as they may seem, prevent the scientific process.
Scientists understand this, but in the dynamic between the public and science, there are two opposite misconceptions (误解). The first is a form of blind scientism — a belief that science is unquestionable and has the capacity to solve all problems. Such an idealized representation actually ignores the universal existence of controversy, conflict and error at the very heart of the scientific world.
【1】What’s the real power of science according to the author?
A.It provides solid solutions.
B.It defends accepted understandings.
C.It discovers certainties about the world.
D.It keeps bringing questions and challenges.
【2】What does the underlined word “reassuring” probably mean?
A.Disappointing.
B.Surprising.
C.Comforting.
D.Challenging.
【3】What may be the belief of the second misconception?
A.Science is unchallengeable and a cure-all.
B.Science is unreliable and of little use.
C.Science is objective but impractical.
D.Science is doubtful but useful.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Why Is Doubt Vital to Science?
B.Why Should We Trust Scientists?
C.What Is the Weakness of Science?
D.What Is Scientists’ Responsibility?
23、 If students followed a typical academic plan over the course of the year, it is precisely the opposite of what science recommends for lasting learning—one topic was probably limited to one week and another to the next. It is what it sounds like—leaving time between practice sessions for the same material. You might call it deliberate not-practicing between periods of deliberate practice. Space between practice sessions creates the hardness that improves learning.
Iowa State researchers read people lists of words, and then asked for each list to be recited back either right away, after fifteen seconds of practicing, or after fifteen seconds of doing very simple math problems that prevented practicing. The subjects who were allowed to reproduce the lists right after hearing them did the best. Those who had fifteen seconds to practice before reciting came in second. The group distracted with math problems finished last. Later, when everyone thought they were finished, they were all surprised with a sudden quiz: write down every word you can recall from the lists. Suddenly the worst group became the best.
Short-term practicing gave purely short-term benefits. Struggling to hold on to information and then recall it had helped the group distracted by math problems transfer the information from short-term to long-term memory. The group with more and immediate practicing opportunity recalled nearly nothing on the sudden quiz. Repetition, it turned out, was less important than struggle.
It isn’t bad to get an answer right while studying. Progress just should not happen too quickly. For a given amount of material, learning is most efficient in the long run when it is really inefficient in the short run. If you are doing too well when you test yourself, the simple solution is to wait longer before practicing the same material again, so that the test will be more difficult when you do. Frustration is not a sign that you are not learning,but ease is.
【1】According to the science recommendation, to acquire lasting learning, we should ________.
A.follow a typical academic plan
B.limit the learning process within one week
C.add not-practicing space between two learning sessions
D.create more hardness
【2】In Iowa State research, which group became the best finally?
A.Those who recited the lists right away.
B.Those who had fifteen seconds of practicing.
C.Those who finished the quiz last.
D.Those who were distracted by math problems.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Short- term memory is inefficient.
B.Struggling is helpful to short-term memory.
C.Making progress too quickly may not be a good sign.
D.Getting frustrated means you are learning.
【4】This passage mainly talks about ________.
A.research methods
B.learning strategies
C.math skills
D.academic plans
24、A few years ago, I was giving a presentation to the CEO of a company. Through the entire meeting time, the CEO sat at the conference table with his arms tightly crossed without a smile. I was sure that he was not satisfied, but later his assistant told me her boss was impressed with my presentation. Suddenly, I realized that, it was his usual behavior. 【1】 Here are three more: ignoring the context, finding meaning in a single gesture, comparing with a proper culture.
First, context is king. The same nonverbal gestures can take on totally different meanings in different contexts. You can’t really make sense of someone’s nonverbal message unless you understand the circumstances behind it. For example, if you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call, let people know why you’re tired. 【2】
Then, people are constantly trying to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But often they will assign meaning to a single nonverbal gesture. Generally speaking, people take more notice of any sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 【3】 So, you may be more comfortable standing with your arms folded across your chest, but others judge that single gesture as resistant and unapproachable.
When I talk about culture, I’m referring to a set of shared values that a group of people hold. 【4】 More importantly, they are the kind of criteria by which people judge others. We all have cultural biases that regard some nonverbal behaviors as normal and right and others as strange or wrong. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
【5】 Understanding them, and trying not to make the same ones, will help you display your nonverbal ability.
A.Such values affect how members of the group think and act.
B.Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
C.These are people’s most common mistakes when they read your body language.
D.As with me, when people don’t know your usual behavior they can easily jump to the wrong conclusion.
E.Without this context, you’ll look like you’re just bored.
F.If they don’t know the context, embarrassment will appear.
G.This is because the human brain pays more attention to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
