21、 The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human-made features — homes, canals, highways, and more — have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.
These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”, to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it.
“There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data,” Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology,” he added.
【1】What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Jungles. B.Human-made features.
C.Researchers. D.Aerial images.
【2】What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?
A.The working principle of LiDAR sensors.
B.The process of researching Maya civilization.
C.Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.
D.LiDAR’s contribution to discovering the relics.
【3】Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?
A.Small and hidden. B.Famous and high-tech.
C.Vast and complex. D.Fully-explored and imaginative.
【4】What will the archeologists do next?
A.Continue to explore the unknown. B.Upgrade the LiDAR technology.
C.Study the documentary carefully. D.Build a massive urban network,
22、 Peter Shankman travels for a living, delivering speeches around the country. The last thing he wants to do in his spare time is travel from his home in New York.
So for the fifth year in a row, Shankman is donating hundreds of thousands of miles to people in need-----those who can’t afford to buy a flight, but intend to be with sick loved ones, or a parent who would like to see a faraway child.
Shankman posts his contest on the social media site Imgur, and other Imgur users vote for winners of Shankman’s miles. After the initial year of the giveaway, other travellers started seeing Shankman’s posts on Imgur and began donating their miles to his contest, multiplying the gift.
One of those donors is Rhys Ford, whose reason for donating her extra miles to Shankman’s “Home for the Holidays” giveaway is simple and heartfelt. “ There are many of us who have so much, and there are others who are far away from their family and can’t make it back for financial reasons,” she said.
Shankman said one of the big advantages of giving away his miles is that it allows him to pass along a lesson about giving to his son. Shankman’s goal, he said , is to help children and adults with ADHD(多动症) realize that they are not broken, but gifted.
“They just need to learn how to channel and use that power. I have ADHD, but I believe it is a huge part of my success,” said Shankman.
“People ask me how I verify the stories of people who win the free miles,” Shankman said. “And I tell them, ‘I can’t.’ But if someone goes to all this trouble to get a free trip somewhere, maybe this will help them in some way. As long as my miles keep adding up, I’m going to continue to give them away.
【1】How are the winners of Shankman’s miles chosen ?
A.People vote on them on the Internet.
B.Shankman chooses them by himself.
C.The social media site decides on them.
D.They ask for Shankman’s help in person.
【2】What got Ford to donate her miles ?
A.Shankman’s speech B.Her kindness.
C.Her own experience D.Her simple mind.
【3】How can Shankman benefit from his donation?
A.His ADHD gets treated. B.He becomes more famous.
C.He can stay at home much longer. D.he gets a chance to influence his son.
【4】What does the underlined word verify probably mean in the last paragraph ?
A.Tell B.Collect C.Check D.Know
23、The study of psychology is facing a crisis. The Research Excellence Framework(the Ref) has led to a research culture which is holding back attempts to stabilize psychology in particular, and science in general. The Ref encourages universities to push for groundbreaking, novel, and exciting research in the form of 4* papers, but it does not reward the efforts of those who replicate(复制) studies.
The point of replicating a study is to test whether a statistically significant result will appear again if the experiment is repeated. Of course, a similar result may not appear – casting into question the validity(有效性) of the results from the first experiment.
Last year, the Open Science Collaboration attempted to replicate 100 studies from highly ranked psychological journals. While 97% of the original studies had a statistically significant result, just 36% of the replications had the same outcome. Equally worrying: when an effect did appear, it was often much smaller than previously thought.
Recent data calls into question some widely influential findings in psychological science. These problems are not confined to psychology however – many findings published in scientific literature may actually be false.
Science is supposed to be self-correcting and reproducibility is a cornerstone of the scientific method. Yet, we simply aren’t invested in replicating findings. We all want to be good researchers and understand more about how the world works. So why are we so reluctant to check our conclusions are valid?
Because no incentive is provided by the system we carry out our research in. In the UK, the Ref ranks the published works of researchers according to their originality (how innovative is the research?), significance (does it have practical or commercial importance?), and rigour (is the research technically right?). Outputs are then awarded one to four stars. 4* papers are considered world-leading. The cumulative total of 3* and 4* papers determines research funding allocation and has a knock-on effect on institutional position in league tables(排名表) and therefore attractiveness to students. Obviously, the more publications the better.
Worryingly, many academics admit to engaging in at least one questionable research practice in order to achieve publication. Examples of this include: coming up with a theory after data is collected, stopping collecting data when an effect appears in case it disappears later, or only reporting the significant effects from collected data. Others simply fabricate data – Dutch psychologist Diederik Stapel shockingly falsified data from more than 50 studies.
The Ref completely harms our efforts to produce a reliable body of knowledge. Why? The focus on originality – publications exploring new areas of research using new paradigms, and avoiding testing well-established theories – is the exact opposite of what science needs to be doing to solve the troubling replication crisis. According to Ref standards, replicating an already published piece of work is simply uninteresting.
With the next Ref just four years away, many researchers are effectively faced with a choice: be a good scientist, or be a successful academic who gets funding and a promotion.
【1】What crisis is the study of psychology facing?
A．The Ref has led to a revolution in not-only psychology but also science.
B．The universities are encouraged to generate more groundbreaking research.
C．The Ref tends to set up a different standard of replications of studies.
D．The Ref’s indifference to replications of studies has led to worrying effects.
【2】The Ref’s focus on originality has brought about _______.
A．a reliable body of knowledge
B．publications exploring new areas
C．tests of well- established theories
D．uninteresting replications of studies
【3】We can infer from the passage that the Ref _______.
A．is a system for assessing the quality of research in UK universities
B．provides UK researchers with funding and job opportunities
C．recognizes researchers’ work and adds to their attractiveness to students
D．is planning to change its standard before the next Ref submission
【4】What does the writer mean by saying “be a good scientist”?
A．Contribute to the solution to the replication crisis.
B．Reform the standards that have been set up by the Ref.
C．Give up possible funding and promotion given by universities.
D．Avoid using false research practices to test old theories.
24、
Being a blockchain developer for two years, Zhang Yu admits that it was his aspiration (抱负) to explore new things that led him into this area of work.
“The blockchain can be seen as another form of the internet which is parallel to it,” said the 25-year-old. As applications used on the internet are developed by different companies, their data might not be trusted, according to Zhang. The blockchain, however, is decentralized, meaning that on this shared platform, it’s difficult to change the data. “The information is more secure and copyright is ensured due to its transparency,” Zhang said.
Zhang mostly programs digital collections such as artwork and digital museum exhibits into blockchain products. The products are then digitalized and can be traded virtually.
People may think that entering such a cutting-edge field must be awfully difficult. “A strong education background in computer science is required,” Zhang said. “However, it’s never too late to start.” Zhang himself is an example — he started as an undergraduate majoring in English and taught himself programming due to his interest in the topic. Zhang then studied computer science at a university in Hong Kong, which led to his current job.
Zhang pointed out the challenges a developer may face. “There are only about five thousand blockchain developers in China. So most of the time developers have to solve problems on their own,” Zhang said. They need to learn from their mistakes and explore new solutions. “Learning from peers is also crucial. When a new idea comes out, every developer needs to learn it to keep up with the latest trends,” Zhang added.
On the bright side, “the sense of achievement is massive when a project is finished,” Zhang said. “Plus I get to work from home and enjoy more freedom than others.”
【1】What is a blockchain?
A．A new internet-like service.
B．A platform for digital exhibits.
C．An application for data storage.
D．A system to manage copyrights.
【2】Which statement does NOT consist with the principle of the blockchain?
A．The blockchain prohibits companies from changing data at will.
B．The information in the blocks is secure and transparent in the network.
C．The transaction won’t be added to the block unless it is proved legal.
D．The money is moved indirectly from A to B.
【3】What is required to become a blockchain developer?
A．The ability to self-study.
B．Relevant work experience.
C．A good com mand of English.
D．A solid knowledge of computer science.
【4】What is a challenge blockchain developers may face, according to Zhang?
A．Intense peer pressure.
B．Limited job opportunities.
C．Little experience to refer to.
D．High likelihood of making mistakes.
【5】What does Zhang think is a benefit of being a blockchain developer?
A．Feeling fulfilled after a project is completed.
B．Gaining constant access to new knowledge.
C．Having the opportunity to work independently.
D．Having the chance to work on well established projects.
25、Some people wouldn’t be happy about having to work on Mother’s Day weekend. However, I felt pretty ________ when I climbed into the florist delivery van (送货车). My own mother was no longer alive to ________ the flowers, so ________ the day of other moms seemed like the best thing to do.

“Happy Mother’s Day, Mary,” I announced. “Your children sent you these ________ flowers.” Mary’s eyes ________ the flowers and slowly she smiled. I ________ my cell phone. I had Mary’s daughter’s ________ on my delivery list. I combed Mary’s short gray hair into place and took a ________ of this loved mother with her roses. “Just look at your mama,” I ________ Mary’s daughter. “The roses were a blessing.”
I was a little behind schedule by the time I got back to my van, but it was ________ of it. I had many other deliveries at nursing homes like Mary’s. I took a lot of pictures, ________ a lot of texts and ________ a lot of joy.
