22、Efforts to preserve the Amazon rain forest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystem’s destruction accelerates. Indigenous (当地的) peoples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling (巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues.

A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon deforestation—and potentially that of forests elsewhere.   

Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite-based “early deforestation alerts” could help. The scientists collaborated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities.

The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two year—a 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities.

Experts say this approach to tackling Amazonian deforestation looks promising. “Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation? Given the results, it’s worth a try.” says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. “But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts,” wrote Francisco Hernandez Cayetano, a community member involved in the research, “we as Indigenous peoples ask the world for support.”

【1】Why did the research team conduct the program?

A．To stop carbon being locked away.

B．To tackle Amazon deforestation.

C．To monitor satellite movement.

D．To control illegal activities.

【2】How does the community-based monitoring work?

A．By offering locals training in using a smartphone app.

B．By combining local monitoring with smartphone alerts.

C．By organizing native people to fight against the outsiders.

D．By equipping local forest with satellite data and monitors.

【3】What is Catherine Tucker’s attitude toward the approach to preventing deforestation?

A．Pessimistic.

B．Objective.

C．Approving.

D．Conventional.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Local Monitors Trained for Forest Loss.

B．Satellite Data Cure Deforestation.

C．Outsiders Are to Blame for Forest Loss.

D．Smart Patrol Fights Deforestation.

23、Scientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap can boost our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.

“The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “It’s quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”

Arzi and her coworkers didn’t try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.

When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment on these reactions.

Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didn’t wake up, but they heard—and sniffed(吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelled—a short snort this time—but didn’t wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.

After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed briefly—despite there being no bad smell.

The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!

【1】In the study, the volunteers were taught _______.

A. to become active during sleep

B. to tell the difference between smells

C. to learn new words and scientific facts

D. to make sound-smell connections

【2】How did the volunteers react when smelling something nice and hearing musical notes?

A. They took a deep breath.

B. They had a wonderful dream.

C. They woke up at once.

D. They took a short breath.

【3】When the volunteers woke up the next day, they_______.

A. learned how to play to musical tones

B. forgot what happened during their sleep

C. continued with the sound-smell connection

D. changed their reaction when hearing the sound

【4】The passage mainly tells us _______.

A. special smells and sounds can improve our memory

B. our brain can actually learn something new during sleep

C. the volunteers will always hear similar sounds on the street

D. our brain can tell the difference between smells during sleep

24、Dear Dad,

Today, I spent a lot of time selecting and reading the Father's Day cards at the shopping mall. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old. Dad, you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day, but I've always been with you in my heart. You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the great divide and I on the other.

The father-daughter conflict shifted into high gear (档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge while I decided I would drive the Chevy whether you liked it or not. To my surprise, when the police officer sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen, you were so tolerant (宽容的) about it because I had thought that would probably be the worst night of my life.

Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.

But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and weak behind the wheel of that huge car. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's my wish that it never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

Love,

Jenny
