21、 Wildlife tracking is nothing new, but it's certainly not without limitations. When pursuing animals, particularly birds, in some places like rough mountains and vast oceans, the traditional method, VHF tracking which uses GPS tags (跟踪器), often ends up with the signal of animals lost.
A newly developed set of UAVs (无人机) with radio tags aims to solve this problem. 'The swift parrot was the original inspiration for the development of the system. The swift parrots are migratory (季节迁徙的) birds. Before reaching their destination, they'll fly across vast areas of land. Besides, during their flying, they tend to choose a random place for temporary food and rest. And they use different areas as their destinations each year depending on where their food is available. So their destinations each year can also be random. The randomnness can make it hard for us to judge in advance where they'll exactly go and more difficult to track them,"explains Saunders.
"So it's necessary to use tags to track them. But GPS tags are not congruent with swift parrots since these creatures are too small, which makes it hard to attach the large GPS tags to them. Besides, GPS signals can be poor in remote and rough areas. Therefore we had to find a new way to search large pieces of land more effectively. We had an idea to attach smaller radio tags to them and use particular UAVs to track those radio tags to study their movements."
These UAVs only need to fly beside the parrots to track their whereabouts while other systems need to fly directly overhead for a visual sighting. Saunders says, "Our system listens for tag signals, and works most effectively at a distance so it can identify where the animals are and help us observe them without influencing their flying routes."
As for the improvement of UAVs, now the scientists want to develop a version that has stronger lifting ability and flies farther without being charged in the midway. And then it can track animals in more remote and rough surroundings that were previously inaccessible, and shed light on species that have been unable to be tracked until now.
【1】What is the major problem of traditional wildlife tracking?
A.Failing to reach rural areas. B.Failing to follow routine methods.
C.Losing track of GPS tags sometimes. D.Losing track of the animals sometimes.
【2】What can be learned about swift parrots according to Paragraph 2?
A.UAVs are modeled after their shape. B.UAVs can be attached to their bodies.
C.Their migratory route can be hard to predict. D.Their flying can get interrupted by humans.
【3】What may be the strength of UAVs designed by the researchers?
A.They can fly quite high in the sky. B.They help catch and attack their targets.
C.They help track birds without disturbing them. D.They can record the sounds sent by various birds.
【4】How will the scientists probably improve their UAVs?
A.By getting rid of radio tags. B.By reducing their production cost.
C.By increasing their weight and size. D.By improving their energy storage and engines.
22、Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 【1】 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.
The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 【2】. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (积极性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.
【3】 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.
She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 【4】. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.
A．Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.
B．The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.
C．The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.
D．The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.
E．Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.
F．You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.
23、Marissa Sumathipala, a student at Broad Run High School outside of Washington, D.C, was practicing with her recreational figure-skating team when she crashed with another skater. Her head hit against the ice heavily. Everything went black.
Up to that point, Sumathipala’s entire life had centred around her sport — her daily schedule, exercise routine, even her diet. She had hopes of making the 2018 Olympic team. The fall on the ice would change everything, including her direction.
Sumathipala had a brain injury and it ended her skating career. Symptoms lasted for years. Her memory felt unclear at times. She’d find herself dizzy, sick, or exhausted. Sumathipala consulted doctors, so many that she “lost count.” But no one had answers.
Sumathipala began to realize that there was so much unknown about the brain. She set out to find the answers herself, a path that would eventually bring her to Harvard University, where she’d concentrate in the human brain. Throughout her four years, Surmathipala homed in on brain science. She worked with the McCarroll Lab at Harvard Medical School, helping develop a new method for sequencing synapses (神经突序列) in the brain, which are crucial for memory and learning. Even as an undergraduate, her colleagues were so struck by how mature her thinking already was about science that she quickly became a trusted and valued member of the lab.
Also, Sumathipala competed with the Harvard Figure Skating Club all four years. She helped increase its membership and introduced new skaters to the sport she still loves. “I spent a long time struggling with my identity,” she said. “Growing up I was just a skater and then, when I got injured, I had to rebuild my identity. Then I was a scientist. Now, I identify as being both a skater and a scientist.”
Reflecting on her years at Harvard, Sumathipala said one of the things she’s most grateful for is seeing how things have come full circle for her.
【1】What do we know about Sumathipala’s injury?
A．It stopped her skating eventually.
B．It led to her loss of eyesight
C．It changed her life direction.
D．It was easily cured by doctors.
【2】In what way did Sumathipala think she could find the answer to her disease?
A．Turning to doctors.
B．Go on practicing.
C．Rebuilding her identity.
D．Doing research on brain herself.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．focused on
B．returned to
C．attended to
D．stayed at
【4】What made things come full circle for Sumathipala?
A．Deep love for figure skating,
B．Her determination to achieve life goals.
C．The praise from her lab colleagues.
D．Good relationship with new skaters.
