Using a glbal dataset f 1.9 billin recrds f plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested hw well these data represent actual glbal bidiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in explring the aspects f sampling that tend t bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihd f a citizen scientist t take a picture f a flwering plant instead f the grass right next t it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number f bservatin-nly recrds did nt lead t better glbal cverage. Mrever, these data are biased and favr certain regins, time perids, and species. This makes sense because the peple wh get bservatinal bidiversity data n mbile devices are ften citizen scientists recrding their encunters with species in areas nearby. These data are als biased tward certain species with attractive r eye-catching features.
What can we d with the imperfect datasets f bidiversity?
“Quite a lt,” Daru explained. “Bidiversity apps can use ur study results t infrm users f versampled areas and lead them t places — and even species — that are nt well-sampled. T imprve the quality f bservatinal data, bidiversity apps can als encurage users t have an expert cnfirm the identificatin f their upladed image.”

(2024·新疆烏魯木齊·三模)Duble rainbws are ne thing, but a duble aurra (極光)? They can happen, thugh sme kinds are rare. One particular red-and-green aurra is especially cnfusing. Nw, images taken by amateur astrnmers may help reveal its secrets.
Citizen scientists living in Canada and Finland used cameras t dcument an unusual cmbinatin f aurras in the night sky. Physicists have studied thse images t learn what may have caused the unusual light shw.
Alan Dyer was utside his hme in Strathmre, Canada, when the dancing Nrthern Lights caught his attentin. He grabbed his camera and started filming. "I knew I had smething interesting," says Dyer. At first glance, the duble aurra lks like a flating slice f watermeln. The green aurra is well-understd. The fruity lking red st rip is mre mysterius. Scientists have knwn abut these red aurras fr decades. But there's n agreement n hw they frm. One idea is that Earth's magnetic field can heat up certain areas f the atmsphere. That heat culd knck particles (粒子) arund, like in prtn (質(zhì)子) rain.
Researchers had seen these tw types f aurras ccur tgether befre. But it was always mysterius, says Tshi Nishimura, a space physicist at Bstn University. After lking at satellite bservatins alng with the images taken by Dyer and thers, Nishimura and his team cncluded hw the tw phenmena might be related. The key is the thin rays in the red aurra. They mark the paths f electrns falling thrugh the Earth's magnetic field. That means electrn rain appears t cause the red aurra, just as prtn rain causes the green ne. Bth get pwered by the slar wind. But the electrns carry less energy than the prtns, s they make fr a mre reddish clr.
Electrn rain might nt be the nly way t prduce the stable red aurras, thugh. The results shw that what's ging n is mre cmplicated than researchers had thught. The aurras Dyer saw culd be danger znes fr radi cmmunicatin and GPS systems, says Nishimura.
The citizen scientists wh tk the phts were a critical part f the new findings, Nishimura says.

The apes spent up t 45 minutes at a time massaging the mixture nt their upper arms r legs. The researchers believe this behavir is the first knwn example f a nnhuman animal using a tpical painkiller.
Lcal peple use the same plant Dracaena cantleyi, an unremarkable-lking plant with stalked leaves-t treat aches and pains. Mrrgh-Bernard’s c-authrs studied its chemistry. They added extracts (提出物) frm the plant t human cells that had been grwn in a dish and had been artificially stimulated t prduce cytkines, an immune system respnse that causes inflammatin (炎癥) and discmfrt. The plant extract reduced the prductin f several types f cytkines, the scientists reprted the finding in a study published last Nvember in Scientific Reprts.
The results suggest that rangutans use the plant t reduce inflammatin and treat pam. Such findings culd help identify plants and chemicals that might be useful fr human medicatins.
In creatures such as insects, the ability t self-medicate is almst certainly innate: wlly bear caterpillars infected with flies seek ut and eat plant substances that are pisnus t the flies. But mre cmplex animals may learn such tricks after an initial discvery by ne member f their grup.
Fr example, an rangutan may have rubbed the plant n its skin t try t treat parasites and realized that it als had a pleasant pain-killing effect. That behavir may then have been passed n t ther rangutans. Because this type f-self-medicatin is seen nly in suth-central Brne, Mrrgh-Bernard says, it was prbably learned lcally.
5.What d we knw abut Dracaena cantleyi?
A.It can serve as a pain killer.B.It is rangutans nrmal diet.
C.It is a plant with a famy lather.D.L can functin as building materials.

Eurpean wildcats are ne f the UK’s rarest mammals. The nly wild ppulatin, numbering fewer than 300 individuals, lives in the Scttish Highlands but they are n the verge f extinctin, partly because they have bred with lcal feral cats (wild-living dmestic cats).
Supprters hpe t save the species in the UK by reintrducing them t England and Wales, where they died ut arund 200 years ag because f hunting and lss f habitat. T bring back the species, Wildwd Trust is planning t build 10 new breeding facilities n tw sites in Kent and Devn. Kittens bred in captivity but away frm humans will then be released int the wild. The University f Exeter is researching places where the animals culd be reintrduced.
Eurpean wildcats are arund the same size as a large dmestic cat, but at up t eight kilgrams they are slightly adult heavier. They have a tabby-like pattern with thick black stripes n their bdies and a bushy tail and like t live in frests but near pen grassland. They’re als famusly shy and keep their distance frm humans.

29.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight int language evlutin, linguists say.(語(yǔ)言學(xué)家說(shuō),當(dāng)西班牙語(yǔ)與英語(yǔ)相遇時(shí),新的方言就會(huì)出現(xiàn),讓我們實(shí)時(shí)了解語(yǔ)言的演變。)”和文章第二段“Fr instance, “Vams de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “l(fā)et’s g and party”, but it’s nt a phrase yu’ll find in any dictinary. It’s a remix f Spanish and English wrds seasned with an in-jke abut punching the air as yu dance.(例如,“Vams de punches punches punches”,Yamilet Munz給她在得克薩斯州奧斯汀的朋友們發(fā)了這條短信。這句話(huà)的意思是“讓我們?nèi)ヅ蓪?duì)”,但這不是你在任何字典里都能找到的短語(yǔ)。這是西班牙語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)單詞的混合體,并帶有一個(gè)關(guān)于跳舞時(shí)揮拳的玩笑。)”可知,第二段中引入一個(gè)例子是為了說(shuō)明語(yǔ)言的創(chuàng)新。故選A。
30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Fr Munz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but als in mixing the languages int the hybrid knwn as Spanglish. (對(duì)于穆尼奧斯和她的朋友們來(lái)說(shuō),說(shuō)西班牙語(yǔ)是一件很驕傲的事,但同時(shí)也為將兩種語(yǔ)言混合成一種被稱(chēng)為西班牙式英語(yǔ)的混合體而感到自豪。)”和文章第四段“Nw a grwing bdy f research, as well as the experiences f bilingual(雙語(yǔ)的) speakers like Munz, shws just hw deeply English and Spanish are influencing each ther in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but als, transfrming the underlying languages.(現(xiàn)在,越來(lái)越多的研究,以及像穆尼奧斯這樣的雙語(yǔ)使用者的經(jīng)歷,表明英語(yǔ)和西班牙語(yǔ)在美國(guó)是多么深刻地相互影響,產(chǎn)生了像西班牙式英語(yǔ)這樣的混合方言,同時(shí)也改變了基礎(chǔ)語(yǔ)言。)”可推知,Munz和她的朋友們?cè)谡f(shuō)話(huà)中混合使用西班牙語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ),這表明兩種語(yǔ)言是相互關(guān)聯(lián)的。故選A。
31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段““This is the wrk f language change, this is the wrk f dialect frmatin, this is hw it happens. It happens in things that are really nticeable, like the phrase ‘get dwn frm the car’, but it als happens in really slight ways,” he says.(“這是語(yǔ)言變化的成果,這是方言形成的成果,這就是它是如何發(fā)生的。它會(huì)發(fā)生在一些非常明顯的事情中,比如‘從車(chē)?yán)锵聛?lái)’,但它也會(huì)以非常輕微的方式發(fā)生,”他說(shuō)。)”可推知,Carter想要傳達(dá)的是語(yǔ)言變化是漸進(jìn)的和動(dòng)態(tài)的。故選D。
32.主旨大意題。文章主要介紹了Spanglish(西班牙語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)的混合語(yǔ))的形成和演變,特別是新一代人是如何重新創(chuàng)造Spanglish的。文章中提到,當(dāng)西班牙語(yǔ)遇到英語(yǔ)時(shí),新的方言就會(huì)出現(xiàn),這為我們提供了語(yǔ)言演變的實(shí)時(shí)洞察。文章還通過(guò)Yamilet Munz的例子,展示了Spanglish是如何在年輕人中流行的,并強(qiáng)調(diào)了這種語(yǔ)言混合現(xiàn)象在文化和身份認(rèn)同中的重要性。因此,文章的最佳標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是C項(xiàng)“Hw a Generatin is Reinventing Spanglish”,即“一代人是如何重新創(chuàng)造Spanglish的”。故選C。
(2024·山東泰安·二模)A new frm f real estate is ppping up alng the beaches f Suth Africa, which are just big enugh t fit a family f African penguins. Their unique selling pint: a safe and cl place fr penguins t breed (繁殖).
Histrically, the penguins dug hles in layers f guan (鳥(niǎo)糞), but in the 19th century, traders started selling guan as fertilizer, leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly expsed t predatrs (捕食者) and the burning sun. This has caused African penguin ppulatins t decrease. That’s why cnservatinists have cme t the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Prject (APNP), which aims t emply artificial nests t prvide penguin parents a safe and shaded place t raise their chicks.
While guan trade petered ut by the late 1800s, recreating the layers that accumulated ver thusands f years isn’t an ptin, because seabird ppulatins have declined s much ver time and it wuld take arund 600 years t prduce ne usable guan layer. Hence, the prject decided t build artificial nests. At first glance, they lk fairly simple--a dmed structure made frm tw mlded shells f fabric cated in ceramic slurry (陶瓷漿料),with a small entrance measuring abut 20 centimeters wide.
Getting the right temperature and dampness inside the nest was the tughest and mst crucial part. The tw-layer design and ventilatin hles (通風(fēng)孔) create an air cnditining effect, while the white paint reflects the sun, helping t maintain an interir temperature f less than 35 degrees Celsius.
The prject started t use the nests in late 2018.“Within a matter f minutes, penguins were running int them,” says Graham, crdinatr f APNP. “That tells yu hw desperate they are fr any pprtunity t find a safe place t nest. Hwever, ppulatin recvery relies n mre than merely giving African penguins a safe place t breed. It’s nt simply a case f ‘we give them a nest, the species are saved ‘. There has t be mre.”
33.What d we knw abut artificial nests?
A.They functin better than natural nests.
B.They are designed and built scientifically.
C.They are unique attractins f Suth Africa.
D.They are equipped with mini air-cnditiners.

(2024·湖北武漢·三模)Scientists have fund a way t decde (解碼) a stream f wrds in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system recnstructs the main pint f what a persn hears r imagines, rather than trying t cpy each wrd, a team reprts.“It’s getting at the ideas behind the wrds, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an authr f the study.”
Previus effrts t decde language have relied n sensrs placed directly n the surface f the brain. The sensrs detect signals in areas invlved in expressing wrds. But the Texas team’s apprach is an attempt t “decde mre freefrm thught,” says Marcel Just, a prfessr f psychlgy at Carnegie Melln University.
The new study came abut as part f an effrt t understand hw the brain prcesses language. Researchers had three peple spend up t 16 hurs each in a functinal MRI scanner which detects signs f activity acrss the brain. Participants wre headphnes that streamed audi frm the Internet. Thse streams f wrds prduced activity all ver the brain, nt just in areas assciated with speech and language. After participants listened t hurs f stries in the scanner, the MRI data was sent t a cmputer. It learned t match specific patterns f brain activity with certain streams f wrds. Then came a paraphrased versin f what a participant heard.
The MRI apprach is currently slwer and less accurate than an experimental cmmunicatin system being develped fr paralyzed peple, where peple get a sheet f electrical sensrs implanted directly n the surface f the brain. With an MRI-based system, n ne has t get surgery.
But future versins f MRI scans culd raise mral questins. “What if yu can read ut the wrd that smebdy is just thinking in their head? That’s ptentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technlgy can’t really read minds uncntrllably, thugh. It nly wrks when a participant is actively cperating with scientists. Still, systems that decde language culd smeday supprt peple wh are unable t speak because f a brain injury r disease. They are als assisting scientists in understanding hw the brain prcesses wrds and thughts.

【答案】37.C 38.A 39.D 40.A
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要說(shuō)明了科學(xué)家通過(guò)核磁共振掃描和人工智能來(lái)解碼大腦中的單詞流,這項(xiàng)新研究是為了了解大腦如何處理語(yǔ)言。
37.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中““It’s getting at the ideas behind the wrds, the meaning, says Alexander Huth, an authr f the study.” (該研究的作者之一亞歷山大·胡特說(shuō):“這是在理解單詞背后的意思?!?”和第二段“Previus effrts t decde language have relied n sensrs placed directly n the surface f the brain. The sensrs detect signals in areas invlved in expressing wrds. But the Texas team’s apprach is an attempt t “decde mre freefrm thught,” says Marcel Just, a prfessr f psychlgy at Carnegie Melln University. (以前解碼語(yǔ)言的努力依賴(lài)于直接放置在大腦表面的傳感器。傳感器檢測(cè)與表達(dá)單詞有關(guān)的區(qū)域的信號(hào)。但卡耐基梅隆大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授馬塞爾·賈斯特說(shuō),德克薩斯團(tuán)隊(duì)的方法是試圖“解碼更多自由形式的思想”)”可知,德克薩斯研究小組的研究的特別之處是:?jiǎn)卧~背后的意思可以被理解。故選C。
38.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段“The new study came abut as part f an effrt t understand hw the brain prcesses language. Researchers had three peple spend up t 16 hurs each in a functinal MRI scanner which detects signs f activity acrss the brain. Participants wre headphnes that streamed audi frm the Internet. Thse streams f wrds prduced activity all ver the brain, nt just in areas assciated with speech and language. After participants listened t hurs f stries in the scanner, the MRI data was sent t a cmputer. It learned t match specific patterns f brain activity with certain streams f wrds. Then came a paraphrased versin f what a participant heard. (這項(xiàng)新研究是為了了解大腦如何處理語(yǔ)言。研究人員讓三個(gè)人每人花16個(gè)小時(shí)在功能性核磁共振掃描儀上,以檢測(cè)大腦活動(dòng)的跡象。參與者戴著耳機(jī),播放來(lái)自互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的音頻。這些單詞流在整個(gè)大腦中產(chǎn)生活動(dòng),而不僅僅是與語(yǔ)音和語(yǔ)言相關(guān)的區(qū)域。參與者在掃描儀中聽(tīng)了幾個(gè)小時(shí)的故事后,核磁共振成像數(shù)據(jù)被發(fā)送到電腦上。它學(xué)會(huì)了將特定的大腦活動(dòng)模式與特定的詞匯流相匹配。然后是參與者聽(tīng)到的內(nèi)容的釋義版本)”可知,第三段的描寫(xiě)實(shí)驗(yàn)的過(guò)程。故選A。
39.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Still, systems that decde language culd smeday supprt peple wh are unable t speak because f a brain injury r disease. They are als assisting scientists in understanding hw the brain prcesses wrds and thughts. (盡管如此,解碼語(yǔ)言的系統(tǒng)有一天可能會(huì)幫助那些因腦損傷或疾病而無(wú)法說(shuō)話(huà)的人。它們還幫助科學(xué)家了解大腦是如何處理文字和思想的)”可知,核磁共振掃描非常值得研究。故選D。
40.主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其是根據(jù)第一段中“Scientists have fund a way t decde (解碼) a stream f wrds in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. (科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)找到了一種方法,通過(guò)核磁共振掃描和人工智能來(lái)解碼大腦中的單詞流)”可知,文章主要說(shuō)明了科學(xué)家通過(guò)核磁共振掃描和人工智能來(lái)解碼大腦中的單詞流,這項(xiàng)新研究是為了了解大腦如何處理語(yǔ)言??芍?,A選項(xiàng)“A Decder That Can Read Yur Mind (一個(gè)能讀懂你的心的解碼器)”最符合題意。故選A。
