21、   Taking breaks while studying contributes to better learning in a number of ways, and creates a major impact on the process of learning. Find out why a study break is essential, and how it helps you score the best.

Scientists conclude that the brain stops registering a constant stimulation over a gradual period of time, and declares it to be unimportant. The brain decodes（译）a monotonous（单调的）activity and gets habituated to it, no longer stimulating the brain to act in any way. Once this happens, you find yourself unable to concentrate, there by destroying the purpose of a study session-learning. A “break” does just that, it breaks the monotony for the brain. A change in place, a walk around the block, a cup of coffee; these little things can be limited in your study sessions to relax the mind, break the monotony, improve concentration levels, and finally assist the learning process.

The purpose of a study session is to study as much as possible and remember most of what has been learned in it. To be able to achieve this, it is absolutely necessary to continuously stay focused. It is highly likely that long hours of studying can become monotonous and cause you to believe that you are “learning”, when you are only just “reading”. A short rest eases out your stressed mind, brings you back on track, and allows you to start studying with new-found focus levels.

With a relaxed mind, improved concentration and focus levels, and a better capacity to retain information, it is obvious that your study session with breaks will turn out to be more productive, and you will get more benefits than you previously did. Put more such better-yielding study sessions together, and what do you get? perfect grades and a winner of the “race”.

【1】What can the underlined word “habituated” in the second paragraph be replaced by?

A.Accustomed. B.Absorbed.

C.Attached. D.Related.

【2】What should students do to study as much as possible?

A.Help each other. B.Remain concentrated.

C.Improve ways of learning. D.Give up the learning process.

【3】If you have a good attitude to study, how your study will be?

A.Efficient. B.Improved. C.Interesting. D.Easy.

【4】What can be concluded from the passage?

A.Students should concentrate on their study.

B.Students should take breaks after learning for long hours.

C.Teachers had better have a good rest before their lessons.

D.Teachers had better be strict with their students in learning ways.

22、   While weather forecasters can make fairly accurate predictions, there's always the risk you'll be caught out while driving in the rain. But the days of having to quickly close your sunroof could soon be a thing of the past thanks to Jaguar Land Rovefs latest technology.The firm is developing cars that can adapt automatically by closing windows and roofs or starting the heater if they detect bad weather is on the way. The weather forecasting system uses a set of air pressure, humidity（湿度）and light sensors（传感器）to help its vehicles predict changes in conditions and adapt to them. Cars equipped with the system could make slight changes to the air conditioning if it finds the weather is getting warmer during a journey or increase the cabin temperature if it will get colder.

The forecast may indicate there is a possibility of one or more weather conditions, such as rain, within a period of time, such as five minutes. The vehicle may then adapt to the local weather conditions. In particular, it may close one or more windows, or close a roof of the vehicle in response to a forecast being a sign of rain. Similarly windows could be darkened using electrochromic (电致变色的) glass to improve visibility if bright sunshine is forecast.

Although its unclear whether this technology will make its way to a production vehicle anytime soon, such a system would be advantageous on autonomous vehicles. Since there's no human driver present, the system will allow the vehicle to make it comfortable for its passengers, based on current weather conditions. It can also make the vehicle safer if it knows rain or snow is coming.

【1】How will Jaguar Land Rovefs latest technology benefit drivers?

A. Vehicles can automatically drive themselves.

B. Vehicles can find positions and routes themselves,

C. Vehicles can act as mobile weather forecasting stations.

D. Vehicles can open windows and sunroofs automatically.

【2】What is the feature of the glass of a vehicle with the new technology?

A. It can help adjust the temperature.

B. It can still be clear in rainy days.

C. It is too strong to break into pieces.

D. Its colour can change with the sunshine.

【3】What can we know about the weather forecasting system from the text?

A. It is intellige nt enough to stop raining.

B. It makes the driver more comfortable.

C. It can't predict the weather accurately.

D. It makes autonomous cars safer in bad weather.

【4】Where might the text be taken from?

A. A book review. B. A science report.

C. A science fiction. D. A travel brochure.

23、Almost a decade ago, we wrote, “Without applied research on how to best communicate science online, we risk creating a future where the dynamics of online communication systems have a stronger impact on public views about science than the specific research that we as scientists are trying to communicate.” Since then, the footprint of subscription-based news content has slowly decreased. Meanwhile, various information, either true or false, increasingly dominates social media. Partly as a result, extreme public views on issues such as COVID-19 vaccines or climate change emerge and grow separate.

Scientists have been slow to adapt to a shift in power in the science information ecosystem—changes that are not likely to reverse (反转). Many parts of the scientific community—especially in science, technology, and mathematics fields—respond to this challenge as usual, which has been discouraging to those who conduct research on science communication. Many scientists-turned-communicators continue to see online communication environments mostly as tools for resolving information disconnection between experts and audiences. As a result, they blog, tweet, and post videos to promote public understanding and excitement about science.

Unfortunately, social science research suggests that rapidly evolving online information ecologies are less likely to be responsive to scientists who upload content—however attractive it may seem—to TikTok or YouTube. In highly contested national and global information environments, the scientific community is just one of many voices competing for attention and public buy-in about a range of issues. This competition for public attention has produced some urgent problems that the scientific community must face as online information environments rapidly replace traditional, mainstream media.

At present, there is little that science can do to escape this dilemma (窘境). The same profit-driven tools that bring science-friendly and curious followers to scientists’ Twitter feeds and YouTube channels will increasingly disconnect scientists from the audiences that they need to connect with most urgently. Moving forward, dealing with this challenge will require partnerships among the scientific community, social media platforms, and relevant institutions.

【1】What is the function of applied research on how to communicate science online?

A．To diversify the ways of communicating science.

B．To help the public correctly understand science.

C．To promote the development of social media.

D．To control online communication systems.

【2】What do the underlined words “this challenge” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The collapse of the scientific community.

B．The difficulty of conducting scientific research.

C．The hardships of tackling extreme views on science.

D．The change in dominant ways of communicating science.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The public care little about science online.

B．Scientists have to compete for public attention.

C．Scientists focus on uploading science content.

D．Online information replaces traditional media.

【4】What can we infer about profit-driven media from the last paragraph?

A．Their investment pays off.

B．Their users have confidence in them.

C．They give the public access to scientists.

D．They are barriers to science communication.
