Rocks, cliffs and quarries, not much for most of us to look at, but for paleontologist (古生物学者) Andrew Knoll, they are radiant with meaning, telling a story.
That tale is Earth’s history — how the planet went from a rock covered in magma (岩浆) oceans to a green and blue orb (球体) filled with life. Between those inhospitable beginnings and now, continents formed and were tom apart, mountain ranges appeared and disappeared, ice caps spread and receded. These are the lost worlds that Knoll has explored and shed light on.
“He really tries to integrate all the available data — the geological, the biological and the chemical and puts things in perspective. He’s not just a person that looks at a fossil and says, ‘Oh, this is so and so and it came from this time period.’ He is able to make this whole picture, understand why the fossil is there and the context of everything that’s going on at the time,” said Daniel Conley, a biogeochemistry professor.
Knoll said he first became mesmerized by fossils when he was in primary school. “I can remember the feeling when I was 12 years old and just the idea that you’d break this rock open and you’d see something that no human being has ever seen. That was a wonderful, wonderful thought, and I still get excited if I discover something or have an idea that no one else has had.”
His popular science book A Brief History of Earth: Four Billion Years in Eight Chapters released in 2021 ends with an emotional call to action. “Here you stand, in the physical and biological legacy of 4 billion years,” Knoll wrote. “You walk where dinosaurs walked across hillsides, where mammoths once commanded a frozen plain. Once it was their world, and now it’s yours,” he continued. “The difference between you and the dinosaurs, of course, is that you can comprehend the past and envision the future. The world you inherited is not just yours; it is your responsibility. What happens next is up to you.”
4. What can be learned from rocks, cliffs and quarries in Andrew Knoll’s eyes
A. The physical properties of rocks. B. The history of humans on the Earth.
C. The plot twists in Hollywood blockbusters. D. The evolution of the Earth over a long time span.
5. Which of the following statements about Knoll is TRUE
A. He reads the meaning behind a fossil better than any other scientists.
B. He began his career as a paleontologist when he was in primary school.
C. He tries to offer a more comprehensive view on the formation of a fossil.
D. He focuses on the differences between humans and dinosaurs in his book.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mesmerized” in Paragraph 4
A. Puzzled. B. Fascinated. C. Distracted. D. Affected.
7. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To illustrate the significance of fossils. B. To market a book on the Earth’s history.
C. To introduce a paleontologist and his ideas. D. To motivate readers to do research on the Earth.
C
Several years ago, Sibill Schilter, a student at the University of Zurich, learned that her school was hiring people to test whether a smartphone App could help someone change their personality traits. Curious to learn more about herself, Schilter signed up. Maybe, she thought, she was a little too agreeable.
For decades, psychologists have debated whether these traits are fixed or changeable. The study that Schilter participated in was designed to test whether using an App daily for three months would be enough to create noticeable and lasting personality changes. Each participant chose one trait they wanted to increase or decrease.
The App, called PEACH (PErsonality coACH), works like a diary, a dashboard (仪表板), and a text messaging channel rolled into one. On the dashboard, users can see an overview of their goals, a calendar that shows their progress, and their tasks for the week. For instance, someone who wants to bemore careful may be assigned to do homework for one hour after coming home from classes. The App sends the user two push notifications every day to remind him/her, and if the user makes progress, it will show up on the dashboard.
Users can also talk with a sort of digital coach, a chatbot also named “Peach”, about their daily activities. The chatbot might ask which task they are working on or how stressed they are. Users can also choose to complete a daily diary, doing a self-assessment of five main personality traits. (For example: How would you describe yourself today—shy or outgoing )
In a study published in February in Proceedings of the National, Academy of Sciences the researchers concluded that the App works. The study was conducted with 1,523 pared to the control group, the users who received the smartphone intervention showed more self-reported personality trait changes toward their goals.
Overall, friends, family members, or close partners who volunteered to observe the participants also noticed the personality changes, with both self-reported and observer-reported changes existing for three months after the end of the study.
8. Why did Sibill Schilter sign up for the test
A. To understand her personality better. B. To make changes to a smartphone App.
C. To make friends with outgoing people. D. To learn more about goal-setting.
9. What are participants required to do before the test
A. To use the App for three months. B. To learn to establish realistic goals.
C. To share their dream with each other. D. To consider the changes they want to make.
10. How does the App remind its users of their tasks
A. By sending out a special signal. B. By requiring them to keep a diary.
C. By sending messages to them. D. By displaying their goals constantly.
11. What can we learn about the results of the study
A. The App needs to be improved in many ways.
B. The App turns the users more outgoing.
C. The App can also influence the observers’ behavior.
D. The App has a lasting effect on the users’ personalities.
D
Based on new data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission and other space science data sets, astronomers have created an animation to model dust in the Milky Way. The work was presented this week at a national astronomy meeting.
The animation shows the cumulative build-up of dust looking from Earth’s local neighbourhood to about 13,000 light years towards the galactic centre—around 10% of the overall distance across the Milky Way. Close by, dust swirls all around but, further out, the concentration of dust along the galactic plane (银道面) becomes clear. Two ‘windows’, one above and one below the galactic plane, are also revealed.
“Dust clouds are related to the birth and death of stars, so their distribution tells a story of how structures formed in the galaxy and how the galaxy evolves,” said Nick Cox, coordinator of the EXPLORE project which is developing the tools. “The maps are also important, for cosmologists (宇宙学家) in revealing regions where there is no dust, allowing us to have a clear, unobstructed view out of the Milky Way. This helps in studying the Universe beyond, such as to make Deep Field observations with Hubble or the new James Webb Space Telescope.”
“State-of-the-art machine learning and visual analytics have the power to greatly enhance scientific return and discovery for space science missions, but their use is still relatively novel in the field of astronomy,” said Albert Zijlstra, of the University of Manchester and the EXPLORE project. “With a constant stream of new data, we have an increasing wealth of information to mine—way beyond the scope of what humans could process in a lifetime. We need tools like the ones we are developing for EXPLORE to support scientific discovery, such as by helping us to characterize properties within the data, or to pick out the most interesting or unusual features and structures.”
12. What can we learn about the animation from the first two paragraphs
A. It is created to replace the dust in the Milky Way.
B. It shows dust in a long span of space.
C. It employs space data from an individual data base.
D. The animation hasn’t been presented.
13. What can we know from Nick Cox’s words
A. The distribution of dust clouds helps to dig the past of the galaxy.
B. Only Hubble and the new James Web Telescope can help explore the galaxy.
C. Cosmologists use maps to find where there is full of precious star dust clouds.
D. Dust clouds are closely related to the formation and death of various kinds of galaxies.
14. What does Albert think about the EXPLORE project
A. Fruitless. B. Controversial. C. Unrealistic. D. Challenging.
15. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. Open Invitation of the Wide Galaxy B. Thrilling Project for the European Team
C. Deep Dive into the Dusty Milky Way D. Immersing Trip to the Grand Solar System

Three fish lived in the sea when they were young. Their parents died. They had to look after each other. Finally, they grew up and decided to swim deeper and further. One morning the three fish were taken to shallow water by a big wave.
Never had the three fish been to such a place. Everything was so different. They had great fun swimming around. Then, with another big wave, a small boat was taken there too. Now it was hard for the fish to go back to the sea, because the boat was right in front of them.
The largest fish realized that they were in danger and said, “We have to find a way to leave here as fast as possible, or it will be dangerous.” The second largest fish agreed with his elder brother and decided to go with him. However, the youngest one decided not to leave at all, saying “It’s not dangerous at all. Look! There is much water for our activities.” No matter how hard his brothers tried to persuade him to leave, the youngest fish wouldn’t listen.
At last, the largest fish managed to find a way to return to the sea. He found the lowest part of the boat and jumped over it. Challenging as it was, he made it. The second largest fish also succeeded in joining his elder brother in the other side of the water, but the youngest one didn’t follow them, still swimming around joyfully.

Rocks, cliffs and quarries, not much for most of us to look at, but for paleontologist (古生物学者) Andrew Knoll, they are radiant with meaning, telling a story.
That tale is Earth’s history — how the planet went from a rock covered in magma (岩浆) oceans to a green and blue orb (球体) filled with life. Between those inhospitable beginnings and now, continents formed and were tom apart, mountain ranges appeared and disappeared, ice caps spread and receded. These are the lost worlds that Knoll has explored and shed light on.
“He really tries to integrate all the available data — the geological, the biological and the chemical and puts things in perspective. He’s not just a person that looks at a fossil and says, ‘Oh, this is so and so and it came from this time period.’ He is able to make this whole picture, understand why the fossil is there and the context of everything that’s going on at the time,” said Daniel Conley, a biogeochemistry professor.
Knoll said he first became mesmerized by fossils when he was in primary school. “I can remember the feeling when I was 12 years old and just the idea that you’d break this rock open and you’d see something that no human being has ever seen. That was a wonderful, wonderful thought, and I still get excited if I discover something or have an idea that no one else has had.”
His popular science book A Brief History of Earth: Four Billion Years in Eight Chapters released in 2021 ends with an emotional call to action. “Here you stand, in the physical and biological legacy of 4 billion years,” Knoll wrote. “You walk where dinosaurs walked across hillsides, where mammoths once commanded a frozen plain. Once it was their world, and now it’s yours,” he continued. “The difference between you and the dinosaurs, of course, is that you can comprehend the past and envision the future. The world you inherited is not just yours; it is your responsibility. What happens next is up to you.”

B. He began his career as a paleontologist when he was in primary school.
C. He tries to offer a more comprehensive view on the formation of a fossil.
D. He focuses on the differences between humans and dinosaurs in his book.

Several years ago, Sibill Schilter, a student at the University of Zurich, learned that her school was hiring people to test whether a smartphone App could help someone change their personality traits. Curious to learn more about herself, Schilter signed up. Maybe, she thought, she was a little too agreeable.
For decades, psychologists have debated whether these traits are fixed or changeable. The study that Schilter participated in was designed to test whether using an App daily for three months would be enough to create noticeable and lasting personality changes. Each participant chose one trait they wanted to increase or decrease.
The App, called PEACH (PErsonality coACH), works like a diary, a dashboard (仪表板), and a text messaging channel rolled into one. On the dashboard, users can see an overview of their goals, a calendar that shows their progress, and their tasks for the week. For instance, someone who wants to bemore careful may be assigned to do homework for one hour after coming home from classes. The App sends the user two push notifications every day to remind him/her, and if the user makes progress, it will show up on the dashboard.
Users can also talk with a sort of digital coach, a chatbot also named “Peach”, about their daily activities. The chatbot might ask which task they are working on or how stressed they are. Users can also choose to complete a daily diary, doing a self-assessment of five main personality traits. (For example: How would you describe yourself today—shy or outgoing )
In a study published in February in Proceedings of the National, Academy of Sciences the researchers concluded that the App works. The study was conducted with 1,523 pared to the control group, the users who received the smartphone intervention showed more self-reported personality trait changes toward their goals.
Overall, friends, family members, or close partners who volunteered to observe the participants also noticed the personality changes, with both self-reported and observer-reported changes existing for three months after the end of the study.
8. Why did Sibill Schilter sign up for the test
A. To understand her personality better. B. To make changes to a smartphone App.
C. To make friends with outgoing people. D. To learn more about goal-setting.
9. What are participants required to do before the test
A. To use the App for three months. B. To learn to establish realistic goals.
C. To share their dream with each other. D. To consider the changes they want to make.
10. How does the App remind its users of their tasks
A. By sending out a special signal. B. By requiring them to keep a diary.
C. By sending messages to them. D. By displaying their goals constantly.
11. What can we learn about the results of the study
A. The App needs to be improved in many ways.
B. The App turns the users more outgoing.
C. The App can also influence the observers’ behavior.
D The App has a lasting effect on the users’ personalities.
【答案】8 A 9. D 10. C 11. D

Based on new data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission and other space science data sets, astronomers have created an animation to model dust in the Milky Way. The work was presented this week at a national astronomy meeting.
The animation shows the cumulative build-up of dust looking from Earth’s local neighbourhood to about 13,000 light years towards the galactic centre—around 10% of the overall distance across the Milky Way. Close by, dust swirls all around but, further out, the concentration of dust along the galactic plane (银道面) becomes clear. Two ‘windows’, one above and one below the galactic plane, are also revealed.
“Dust clouds are related to the birth and death of stars, so their distribution tells a story of how structures formed in the galaxy and how the galaxy evolves,” said Nick Cox, coordinator of the EXPLORE project which is developing the tools. “The maps are also important, for cosmologists (宇宙学家) in revealing regions where there is no dust, allowing us to have a clear, unobstructed view out of the Milky Way. This helps in studying the Universe beyond, such as to make Deep Field observations with Hubble or the new James Webb Space Telescope.”
“State-of-the-art machine learning and visual analytics have the power to greatly enhance scientific return and discovery for space science missions, but their use is still relatively novel in the field of astronomy,” said Albert Zijlstra, of the University of Manchester and the EXPLORE project. “With a constant stream of new data, we have an increasing wealth of information to mine—way beyond the scope of what humans could process in a lifetime. We need tools like the ones we are developing for EXPLORE to support scientific discovery, such as by helping us to characterize properties within the data, or to pick out the most interesting or unusual features and structures.”
12. What can we learn about the animation from the first two paragraphs
A. It is created to replace the dust in the Milky Way.
B. It shows dust in a long span of space.
C. It employs space data from an individual data base.
D. The animation hasn’t been presented.
13. What can we know from Nick Cox’s words
A. The distribution of dust clouds helps to dig the past of the galaxy.
B. Only Hubble and the new James Web Telescope can help explore the galaxy.
C. Cosmologists use maps to find where there is full of precious star dust clouds.
D. Dust clouds are closely related to the formation and death of various kinds of galaxies.
14. What does Albert think about the EXPLORE project
A. Fruitless. B. Controversial. C. Unrealistic. D. Challenging.
15. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. Open Invitation of the Wide Galaxy B. Thrilling Project for the European Team
C. Deep Dive into the Dusty Milky Way D. Immersing Trip to the Grand Solar System
【答案】12 B 13. A 14. D 15. C

Three fish lived in the sea when they were young. Their parents died. They had to look after each other. Finally, they grew up and decided to swim deeper and further. One morning the three fish were taken to shallow water by a big wave.
Never had the three fish been to such a place. Everything was so different. They had great fun swimming around. Then, with another big wave, a small boat was taken there too. Now it was hard for the fish to go back to the sea, because the boat was right in front of them.
The largest fish realized that they were in danger and said, “We have to find a way to leave here as fast as possible, or it will be dangerous.” The second largest fish agreed with his elder brother and decided to go with him. However, the youngest one decided not to leave at all, saying “It’s not dangerous at all. Look! There is much water for our activities.” No matter how hard his brothers tried to persuade him to leave, the youngest fish wouldn’t listen.
At last, the largest fish managed to find a way to return to the sea. He found the lowest part of the boat and jumped over it. Challenging as it was, he made it. The second largest fish also succeeded in joining his elder brother in the other side of the water, but the youngest one didn’t follow them, still swimming around joyfully.

【答案】One possible version:
As the sun rose higher, the water in the small shallow corner continued to disappear. Initial joy gradually turning into panic, the youngest fish realized the danger. The once abundant water had vanished, leaving him floundering in the drying mud. The two older fish, who had safely made it back to the sea, noticed their younger brother’s distress from a distance. They knew they couldn’t leave him behind. With determination and concern, they swam back towards the shallow water.
Upon their return, the two fish made a plan to rescue their younger brother. They approached him, urging him to swim with all his strength towards the lowest part of the boat. Despite his fear, the youngest fish followed their words and their lead. Together, the three fish used their remaining strength to jump and flip over the boat, miraculously reaching the other side. They were reunited, their bond stronger than ever. They swam back to the safety of the sea, grateful for their collective strength and perseverance.
