21、Trips to museums are part of many children's education. Every year, museums receive many visits from students in school groups.
Schools care about how their students perform in math and science. Because of this, teachers might not see the value of art-related museum field trips. 【1】. He and his research team are studying how attending cultural events can help with a student's education.
【2】 . For this study, his team looked at 11,000 students. Students who visited an art museum were more tolerant and more empathetic. Besides, they learned a lot of content about the art they saw and developed stronger critical thinking skills about art.
Greene's team also examined how going to a live theater performance can affect students. 【3】 It found that students who saw a live performance experienced improvement in tolerance and empathy. A different group of students watched a movie version of the same play. The students who saw the live performance learned the story and related vocabulary better than those who watched the movie version. Therefore, there are differences between in-person cultural experiences and digital ones. In-person cultural experiences are very important to the success at school. 【4】.
【5】 Apart from their usual field trips, the museums also offer STEM-based tours. STEM-stands for science, technology, engineering and math. These tours look at connections between art and science, art and math, and art and architecture.
A．This is true for students of all ages
B．This is where Jay Greene comes in
C．Great importance is attached to field. trips
D．This study involved two groups of students
E．Some museums are looking for ways to provide new programs for schools
F．Greene's team wanted to learn how a trip to an art museum affects a student
G．Though the number is relatively small, the results of the study are convincing
22、A huge crowd has gathered to watch China’s new scientific research ship enter the water for the first time. This ship, equipped with on-board labs and the latest scientific kit, will eventually explore the world’s oceans. But it is also going to help China plunge beneath the waves: it will serve as a launch-pad for submarines that can dive to the deepest parts of the ocean. “Humans know much less about the deep oceans than we know about the surface of the Moon and Mars. That’s why I want to develop the facility for ocean scientists to reach the deep seas,” says Prof. Cui Weicheng.
He is the dean of deep sea science at Shanghai Ocean University but he has also set up a private company called Rainbow Fish, which built the new research ship and is busy developing submersibles. One of its unmanned subs reached a depth of 4,000m (13,000ft) in its most recent trial. But Rainbow Fish’s ultimate goal is manned exploration and it plans to take humans to the very bottom of the ocean the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific, at a depth of nearly 11,000m (36,000ft). He shows me around a life-size model of the submarine and explains that there is room inside for a crew of three, who will be protected by a thick metal sphere.”At the moment, we are in the design stage, so we are testing several extremely high-strength materials for it.” It will have to bear immense pressures from the crushing weight of water above. If there are any weaknesses, the submarine will implode. The deepest ocean is a place few people have ever experienced first-hand. The first dive to the Mariana Trench was carried out in 1960 by US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Picard. Their vessel, the Bathyscaphe Trieste, creaked and groaned as it made the descent, taking nearly five hours.
The only other manned expedition was carried out by Hollywood director James Cameron, who took a solo plunge in a bright green submarine in 2012. Rainbow Fish wants its sub to be next. The team insists its venture isn’t about politics and that it is looking to collaborate with American, Russian and European scientists. It is, though, a commercial operation. The company plans to charge people to use its research ship and submarines, and is targeting three groups, says managing director Dr. Wu Xin. “The first is definitely the scientists who are interested in studying deep-sea science and technology. The second group is offshore companies and oil companies. The last one is tourists and adventurers [who] want to go down themselves to have a look at what’s going on there,” he says. This kind of entrepreneurial approach may be a new model for science in China. Deep-sea research is a difficult, high-risk activity — and much of the ocean remains unexplored. But Cui, who hopes to be the first Chinese person to reach the Mariana Trench, believes that China could be the nation to truly open up this final frontier.
【1】What function does the new scientific research ship serve?
A．As a deep-sea facility for tourist adventures
B．As a supply ship for scientific explorations.
C．As a station for observing giant squid.
D．As a launch-pad for submarines.
【2】What is Prof. Cui Weicheng currently doing?
A．Testing high-strength materials for building submarines.
B．Designing a thick metal sphere for bearing space pressure.
C．Charting the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
D．Making plans for his dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
【3】What does “this kind of entrepreneurial approach” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Prof. Cui doesn’t rely on government funding. Instead he runs a for-profit business.
B．Prof. Cui is bold in his submarine design.
C．Prof. Cui, who started the company, is a professor-turned entrepreneur.
D．Prof. Cui is the first to offer his ship for tourists.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A．Deep-sea science and technology
B．Ocean exploration
C．Race to the deep
D．The rising of Rainbow Fish
23、Biological age might help determine your quality of life as you get older, since your cells and organs have ages varying from your regular age. Many aging-research scientists believe that knowing your biological age could help you postpone or avoid age-related illnesses, and better predict an individual’s lifespan (寿命). Other scientists argue that there’s no standard way to measure biological age. At the center of the debate are hopes that people can extend their lives by changing their behaviors.
Since everybody’s genes (基因) are different, tracking your biological age could help determine your most helpful habits and customize them. People also can attempt to lower their biological age through ways of effectively managing stress.
Dr. Sinclair at Harvard is developing a biological-age test based on chemical changes on DNA. He plans to launch it with a new company called Tally Health. Though criticized by other scientists for hyping the results of some of his findings for his business, he says that he doesn’t overstate his research findings.
Inside Tracker, a personalized-nutrition company founded by scientists, calculates biological age by having users take blood tests and analyzing the samples for marks of diseases. Those who test as older than their years get recommendations to adjust diet, exercise and medicine.
Many other health startups are offering testing that claims to calculate biological age, sometimes with little scientific backing, and designing medicine aimed at boosting youthfulness.
Stephen Robert tested himself earlier this year with an at-home blood test as an effort to improve his health at age 51. “I drink and smoke,” he says, so he expected his biological age to be a lot older than his calendar age. He says he was shocked when test results reported his biological age was 24.
Gordan Lauc, professor of biochemistry and chief scientific officer of GlycanAge, says the results make sense given Mr. Robert’s genetics—longevity runs in his family and lifestyle, which is likely less stressful.
【1】What can people do after knowing their biological ages?
A．Improve their calendar ages to prevent diseases.
B．Determine ways to effectively manage stress.
C．Get personalized-nutrition plan to improve health.
D．Lengthen their lives by changing their conduct.
【2】Why did some scientists criticize Dr. Sinclair?
A．He overstated his findings to make a profit.
B．His scientific research was far from mature.
C．His company let out people’s biological age.
D．Biological-age test did harm to people’s health.
【3】What accounts for Stephen’s young biological age according to Gordan?
A．He manages stress in life successfully.
B．He had good nutrition at his childhood.
C．His family has a long-life tradition.
D．He has improved his biological life.
【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Understand Your Calendar Life and Stay Healthy
B．Meet Your Biological Age and Extend Your Life
C．Improve Your Biological Age with Good Habits
D．Employ Biological Technology to Start Business
24、 So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected pandemic. 【1】 But if you're someone who's more prone(倾向于)to typed out messages than verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. 【2】
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email. In the study, researchers used various experiments to estimate connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. 【3】 "People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward,“ study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement.
【4】 They found that both forms of voice communication-whether video or audio only-made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says 【5】 “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.”
A.“Texting corresponds information exactly in the way people intend.”
B.“In reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.”
C.People held the view that a phone call was really awkward and reconnected with their friends by email.
D.Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away.
E.According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
F.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio.
G.Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.
