21、Almost a decade ago, we wrote, “Without applied research on how to best communicate science online, we risk creating a future where the dynamics of online communication systems have a stronger impact on public views about science than the specific research that we as scientists are trying to communicate.” Since then, the footprint of subscription-based news content has slowly decreased. Meanwhile, various information, either true or false, increasingly dominates social media. Partly as a result, extreme public views on issues such as COVID-19 vaccines or climate change emerge and grow separate.

Scientists have been slow to adapt to a shift in power in the science information ecosystem—changes that are not likely to reverse (反转). Many parts of the scientific community—especially in science, technology, and mathematics fields—respond to this challenge as usual, which has been discouraging to those who conduct research on science communication. Many scientists-turned-communicators continue to see online communication environments mostly as tools for resolving information disconnection between experts and audiences. As a result, they blog, tweet, and post videos to promote public understanding and excitement about science.

Unfortunately, social science research suggests that rapidly evolving online information ecologies are less likely to be responsive to scientists who upload content—however attractive it may seem—to TikTok or YouTube. In highly contested national and global information environments, the scientific community is just one of many voices competing for attention and public buy-in about a range of issues. This competition for public attention has produced some urgent problems that the scientific community must face as online information environments rapidly replace traditional, mainstream media.

At present, there is little that science can do to escape this dilemma (窘境). The same profit-driven tools that bring science-friendly and curious followers to scientists’ Twitter feeds and YouTube channels will increasingly disconnect scientists from the audiences that they need to connect with most urgently. Moving forward, dealing with this challenge will require partnerships among the scientific community, social media platforms, and relevant institutions.

【1】What is the function of applied research on how to communicate science online?

A．To diversify the ways of communicating science.

B．To help the public correctly understand science.

C．To promote the development of social media.

D．To control online communication systems.

【2】What do the underlined words “this challenge” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The collapse of the scientific community.

B．The difficulty of conducting scientific research.

C．The hardships of tackling extreme views on science.

D．The change in dominant ways of communicating science.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The public care little about science online.

B．Scientists have to compete for public attention.

C．Scientists focus on uploading science content.

D．Online information replaces traditional media.

【4】What can we infer about profit-driven media from the last paragraph?

A．Their investment pays off.

B．Their users have confidence in them.

C．They give the public access to scientists.

D．They are barriers to science communication.

22、The Rise of Voice Technology

Voice technology has come a long way. Just a few years ago, it would have been unusable. But now, those who follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.

Writing with your voice raises several interesting questions. How difficult is it actually? Human speech involves a lot more starting and stopping with errors and the need for repairing broken sentences than you may think. Even gifted speakers make mistakes. To turn the spoken word into reasonable writing requires lots of planning. You’ll need some kinds of notes or other organisers to make it work.

Another question turning speech into writing raises is the style. How would writing make the change that people speak their writing rather than type? Chances are that it would come up with many more short sentences and more concrete language, which is good. It would probably also rely on prepared phrases a lot more often, which is not available when you are speaking quickly.

To confirm this, a column was not written, but dictated (听写). It was composed from brief notes written down for structure only, and it was edited for length, with all of the original errors kept in. Here were the results. The first was that the literal accuracy was extremely high. There weren’t many cases where the software had heard one word incorrectly and written down another. But the other result was that the readability of this column was rather bad. Obviously, the blame is not with the technology at all, which turns out to be rather good. Speaking into writing relies on a better human brain than the one we currently possess. Writing is hard. There’s a reason it can’t be done at the speed of speech, in real time.

To clarify the matter, this time paragraph breaks were added after the whole writing. Punctuations (标点) had to be spoken aloud, and after a full stop, the first word in the new sentence was capitalized automatically. Some minor punctuation marks were added to make it clearer. To improve accuracy, people “trained” the software beforehand, reading a prewritten passage aloud. Actually it turns out to be more effective. All of these ensure the satisfactory completion of turning speech into writing.

Language is the most important tool for human interaction, and voice is one beautiful part of language. With the maturity of modern technology, it has given birth to a great change in the human-computer voice interaction.

【1】According to the passage, which helps to turn speech into writing in terms of style?

A．There is careful planning in advance.

B．Errors and broken sentences are avoided.

C．People type words as fast as they say them.

D．The writing contains more prepared phrases.

【2】To achieve better results, the author mentions some changes for ______.

A．processing errors in a column.

B．adding minor punctuation marks.

C．increasing the number of brief notes.

D．integrating short paragraphs in writing.

【3】The author suggests that ______.

A．human brains are responsible for poor dictated writing.

B．writing with voice promises to improve the quality of writing.

C．writing is an unnatural act that can hardly be learned and improved.

D．technology has a long way to go in the human-computer voice interaction.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Why people fully intend to turn speech into writing.

B．What role voice technology plays in improving readability.

C．Where the human-computer voice interaction is at an advantage.

D．How voice technology enables the change from speech into writing.

23、NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed the largest icy comet nucleus ever seen by scientists. The nucleus of comet C/2014 UN271 is about 80 miles in diameter, which is larger than the state of Rhode Island, NASA says.

The comet’s nucleus is about 50 times larger than that of most comets, and its mass is estimated to be gigantic 500 trillion tons.

“This comet is literally the tip of the iceberg for many thousands of comets that are too faint to see in the more distant parts of the solar system,” David Jewitt, a professor of planetary science and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.

“We’ve always suspected this comet had to be big because it is so bright at such a large distance. Now we confirm it is.” Jewitt added.

Comet C/2014 UN271 was discovered by astronomers Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein using archival images from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The comet has been observed since 2010, when it was 3 billion miles away from the sun, and has been studied since then.

NASA says there was a challenge in measuring the comet’s nucleus because it was too far away for the Hubble telescope to determine its size. Instead, scientists had to make a computer model that was adjusted to fit the images of the comet’s bright light that they got from the telescope’s data.

Despite traveling at 22,000 mph, the massive comet is still coming from the edge of the solar system. But NASA assures us that it will never get closer than 1 billion miles away from the san—and even then, that won’t be until 2031.

The previous record-holder for largest comet nucleus was discovered in 2002. Comet C/ 2002 VQ94 was approximately 60 miles across.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE about comet C/2014 UN271?

A．The temperature of its nucleus is rather low.

B．It is 3 billion miles away from the san now.

C．It was first discovered through NASA’s telescope.

D．It is traveling towards the edge of the solar system.

【2】The underlined word “gigantic” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A．Average.

B．Enormous.

C．Small.

D．Moderate.

【3】What can be inferred from David Jewitt’s words?

A．The comet C/2014 UN271 is very bright at a large distance.

B．The comet C/2014 UN271 is at the tip of an iceberg.

C．The scientists had never doubted the size of the comet C/2014 UN271.

D．There are more comets to be discovered in the solar system.

【4】What made it difficult to measure the comet’s nucleus?

A．The huge size of the cornet.

B．The limited knowledge of the scientists.

C．The distance between the comet and the telescope.

D．The quality of the images of the comet’s bright light.

24、   About a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year in North America. Suspicions have been that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.

Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.

“There was relatively little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management at Oklahoma State University. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughout Mexico, Canada and the U.S.

The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”

Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.

By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.

Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."

【1】What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?

A．They didn't see the buildings.

B．They took reflections for reality.

C．They assumed the windows to be open.

D．They considered buildings as safe routes.

【2】What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?

A．It created a new data set.

B．It went beyond national borders.

C．It covered a wider range of sites.

D．I’ll studied some specific bird species.

【3】What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?

A．Migratory species travel at night.

B．Birds tend to be misled by glasses.

C．Bigger buildings cause more collisions.

D．Birds living habits give rise to collisions.

【4】Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?

A．Adjust the lightening system.

B．Attach radars to each building.

C．Adopt strict lights-out policies.

D．Ban using glasses on buildings.
