That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas.“Over the course of a few weeks, Id completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parents dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.Now science is Buckleys job. She works in the chemistry department at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, first-hand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great,” she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears. Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckleys at-home chemistry kit. Thats because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers. “Compared with a one-off experiment, whats cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,” says Prunuske，who teaches microbiology and immunology at a medical college . “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.” Jennifer Longs job is to coordinate(协调) education and outreach. She agrees with Prunuske. “Kids like that its real. And they like that its important, that it matters.” Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster （星系团）. Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused in Japan. And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn where Monarch butterflies go every winter.Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. Thats one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep engaged, Long says. And she has some evidence that its working, “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, I really think I want to be a scientist now. ” 24. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To support trials can make teens interested in science.B. To prove failure is the mother of success in science. C. To state Buckley has a talent for science. D. To praise Buckley for her strong will.25. Why is citizen science more fun?A. It needs to seek for new solutions. B. It carries out experiments frequently. C. It must carry out experiments in groups. D. It demands to handle complex problems.26. What can we know from what Prunuske said?A. She participated in the experiment. B. She took pride in what students took up.C. Citizen science is popular with students. D. Scientists are willing to employ students.27. What is Longs attitude towards citizen science?A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.C Your circle of friends may help you get a better reading on your overall health and wellness rather than just using wearable devices such as a Fitbit, according to researchers. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, analyzed what the structure of social networks says about the state of health, happiness and stress. We were interested in the topololgy (拓扑学) of the social network what does my position within my social network predict about my health and well-being said Nitesh V. Chawla, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US. “What we found was the social network structure provides a significant improvement in predictability of wellness states of an individual over just using the data obtained from wearables, like the number of steps or heart rate,” Chawla said. For the study, participants wore a Fitbit to capture health behavior data about walking, sleeping, heart rate and overall activity level. They also completed surveys and self-assessments of their stress, happiness and positivity. Chawla and his team then analyzed the data with a machine learning model, alongside the connections and characteristics of an individuals social network. The study showed a strong correlation (相关性) between social network structures, heart rate, number of steps and level of activity. Social network structure provided significant improvement in predicting ones health and well-being compared to just looking at health behavior data from the Fitbit alone.For example, when social network structure is combined with the data from wearables, the machine learning model achieved a 65 percent improvement in predicting happiness.The model also achieved a 54 percent improvement in predicting ones self-assessed health prediction, a 55 percent improvement in predicting positive attitude and a 38 percent improvement in predicting success. This study asserts (断言) that without social network information, we only have an incomplete view of an individuals wellness state, and to be fully predictive or to be able to obtain interventions (干扰). It is critical to be aware of the social network, Chawla said.28. What did the study find?A. How people choose their friend circles. B. What factors decide your friend circles. C. How your circle of friends influences you D. What your circle of friends says about your health.29. How did the researchers draw their conclusions? A. By comparing data. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing cause and effect D. By describing personal experiences.30. What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the last paragraph? A. Easy. B. Common. C. Important. D. Challenging.31. What do Chawlas words in the last paragraph tell us? A How fitness devices can connect your circle of friends B. That a persons social network is part of his health picture. C. The best ways to make friends and keep a healthy social circle D. That wearable devices are not useful for understanding someones health.DWhile many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that weve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didnt feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia OConner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style the Bible for the use of American English have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. “Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says OConner. Thats why were comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesnt offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if its easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure its descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says. In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.32. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns? A. It hasnt recently been opposed by many grammarians. B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.C. It hasnt been a rare phenomenon in the past century.D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice 33. What is most leading experts attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A. Cautious. B. Satisfied. C.Disappointed. D. Unconcerned. 34.What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns? A. Predictable. B. Practicable. C. Approaching. D. Impossible. 35. What is the best title for the text?A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying? C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb? D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 36 Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences. 37 The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used. Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. 38 Some ingredients like carrots, onions and tomatoes are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats like pig ears most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldnt choose to eat. 39 Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent（同等物）in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. 40 A.The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.B.WesternizedChinesefoodfeaturesvegetablesthatarecommonin Westerncuisines.C.

Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.G.One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“Look,its Baldy!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground.
