Using CRISPR genme（基因组） editing n a few cmmn crps, a team f plant and sil scientists seeks t greatly increase and speed up carbn strage t help fight climate change.
T prevent dangerus levels f glbal warming, scientists say it wn’t be enugh t just stp burning fssil fuels that release carbn int the air. Because it’s nearly impssible fr humanity t d that as fast as is nw required, we will als need t pull carbn ut f the air and secure it.
Plants are amng the best tls we have t d this, since these living slar cllectrs already capture billins f tns f carbn dixide each year frm the atmsphere thrugh phtsynthesis（光合作用）. Abut half f that carbn winds up in rts and eventually the sil, where it can stay fr hundreds t thusands f years.
But what if we culd create plants and sils that are better at capturing carbn? With CRISPR genme editing—a new mlecular（分子的） bilgy tl that allws scientists t make edits t the DNA cde that underpins all life—that might be pssible.
Last mnth, the Innvative Genmics Institute （IGI）, a research team funded by CRISPR pineer Jennifer Dudna, began t explre the idea. With an $11-millin dnatin frm the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a team f researchers made a three-year effrt using CRISPR t create new crp varieties that phtsynthesi ze mre efficiently and transprt mre carbn int the sil. Eventually, the researchers hpe t create gene-edited rice and srghum seeds that culd—if planted arund the glbe---pull mre than a billin extra tns f carbn ut f the air annually.
It’s an ambitius gal, and the team is likely t face numerus challenges in the lab befre its CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the grund. Additinal scial, plicy, and ethical cnsideratins will determine whether thse crps are widely accepted by farmers. But the researchers believe their ambitius prject is beneficial t cpe with climate crisis.
8．What is the purpse f using CRISPR genme editing n crps?
A．T imprve sil structure.B．T increase carbn strage.
C．T create new crp varieties.D．T help fight climate change.
9．What des the underlined wrd “capture” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Mix.B．Release.C．Absrb.D．Grab.
10．What can be inferred frm this text?
A．CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the grund nw.
B．It is still unknwn whether gene-edited crps will be accepted.
C．Researchers have successfully created gene-edited rice and srghum seeds.
D．CRISPR genme editing will face s many challenges that it has n future.
11．What is the researchers’ attitude t the gene-edited crps?
A．Hpeful.B．Dubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Negative.

Frgetting names, faces, r events is a universal human experience; even thse wh see their minds sharp struggle with memry lss frm time t time. Mst cnsider these mental mistakes t be annyed, and they’re seen as a ptentially wrrisme sign f cgnitive（认知的）decline. But neurlgist Sctt Small, wh studies and treats Alzheimer’s disease（老年痴呆） at Clumbia University, thinks this view f frgetting is all wrng. In fact, sme amunt f frgetfulness is critical fr ur minds and relatinships t functin at their best.
We’re develping drugs t prtect against memry lss. But many psychlgists have jked that what they want is a frgetfulness drug. T much memry pses a challenge in any lng-term relatinship. Anger, hatred—they all cme frm nt being able t let g f emtinal memries. Peple wh repeatedly think f anger r fear suffer, ften in lneliness.
Living in a nisy, ever-changing wrld, frgetting details is actually a perfect adaptatin. Creativity isn’t making smething ut f nthing. It’s making cnnectins between already-knwn elements—ideas, wrds, visuals, r expressins—t create smething new. But t make new cnnectins, the existing cnnectins in yur mind have t be lse. If the cnnectins between thse elements are t tightly bund in ur memry, there’s n rm fr creativity.
What can we d t help ur brains frget what we need t frget? One f the best ways t make sure that yu dn’t have a brain that’s burning t. ht with bad memries is t stay scially engaged. Anther thing t d is t sleep, and sleep well. Many experts have cncluded that we sleep in rder t frget, s it makes sense that sleep has been shwn t imprve creativity. If yu’re shrt f sleep, yur brain is n fire with t many memries. The brain is like a lawn f grass—yu need t keep it trimmed（修剪） t make way fr new memries, new cnnectins, and new grwth.
12．What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A．The damage f cgnitive decline.B．The imprtance f frgetting things.
C．The reasns f getting mental disease.D．The methds f preventing memry lss.
13．Why is the frgetfulness drug needed?
A．Because varius pressure makes us sleepless.
B．Because sme patients frget imprtant things.
C．Because t much memry disturbs and bthers us.
D．Because many senirs suffer frm Alzheimer’s disease.
14．What can we learn frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．T much memry blcks ur creativity.B．Our brain can adapt t ever-changing wrld.
C．Sleeping well cntributes t imprved attentin.D．Bad memry has terrible impact n ur scial life.
15．Where is the text prbably frm?
A．A bk review.B．An advertisement.C．A science fictin.D．A news reprt.

The Sptlight Effect
Have yu ever felt as if the entire wrld was watching while yu made a mistake? Well, here’s sme gd news: it’s likely that n ne even nticed.
16 We have this experience nt nly when we make mistakes but als when we perfrm well. Every time we d smething that is a little different frm what we usually d, we may assume that everyne arund us will ntice. The sptlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, r give a terrible answer in class. 17 In these mments, it feels like everyne is watching.
The sptlight effect exists because we all get used t seeing things thrugh ur wn eyes. Every persn is the main character in his r her stry, and the events f ur lives seem t have great imprtance. 18
The sptlight effect is a very cmmn part f the human experience. Hwever, in sme cases, it can lead t extreme scial anxiety and nervusness arund ther peple. Everyne suffers sme degree f scial anxiety. We all care abut what thers think, and we all want t be liked. It’s nrmal t wnder abut what effect we have n ther peple. 19 If smene is s nervus that they can’t make gd decisins, then it’s time t take actin and imprve the situatin.
Learning abut the sptlight effect is imprtant because it can help us reduce ur anxiety. Next time yu feel like everyne is staring at yu, remind yurself that it’s just yur mind playing tricks n yu. 20 If yu fill yur mind with thughts f yur friends and family, it will help yu be less self-cnscius.
A．Hwever, this can be a prblem when the anxiety is t much t handle.
B．That’s why fewer peple ntice the embarrassing circumstances they encunter.
C．Anther gd exercise is t make an effrt t ntice the peple arund yu, rather than fcusing n yurself.
D．The sptlight effect is a trick f the mind that makes us believe that peple ntice us mre ften than they really d.
E．What yu can d at this mment is t ignre them.
F．We are s busy examining urselves that we actually bserve very little abut everyne arund us.
G．It can als appear when we scre a big gal, ask smene n a date, r d a gd deed.

Using CRISPR genme（基因组） editing n a few cmmn crps, a team f plant and sil scientists seeks t greatly increase and speed up carbn strage t help fight climate change.
T prevent dangerus levels f glbal warming, scientists say it wn’t be enugh t just stp burning fssil fuels that release carbn int the air. Because it’s nearly impssible fr humanity t d that as fast as is nw required, we will als need t pull carbn ut f the air and secure it.
Plants are amng the best tls we have t d this, since these living slar cllectrs already capture billins f tns f carbn dixide each year frm the atmsphere thrugh phtsynthesis（光合作用）. Abut half f that carbn winds up in rts and eventually the sil, where it can stay fr hundreds t thusands f years.
But what if we culd create plants and sils that are better at capturing carbn? With CRISPR genme editing—a new mlecular（分子的） bilgy tl that allws scientists t make edits t the DNA cde that underpins all life—that might be pssible.
Last mnth, the Innvative Genmics Institute （IGI）, a research team funded by CRISPR pineer Jennifer Dudna, began t explre the idea. With an $11-millin dnatin frm the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a team f researchers made a three-year effrt using CRISPR t create new crp varieties that phtsynthesi ze mre efficiently and transprt mre carbn int the sil. Eventually, the researchers hpe t create gene-edited rice and srghum seeds that culd—if planted arund the glbe---pull mre than a billin extra tns f carbn ut f the air annually.
It’s an ambitius gal, and the team is likely t face numerus challenges in the lab befre its CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the grund. Additinal scial, plicy, and ethical cnsideratins will determine whether thse crps are widely accepted by farmers. But the researchers believe their ambitius prject is beneficial t cpe with climate crisis.
8．What is the purpse f using CRISPR genme editing n crps?
A．T imprve sil structure.B．T increase carbn strage.
C．T create new crp varieties.D．T help fight climate change.
9．What des the underlined wrd “capture” in paragraph 3 mean?

10．What can be inferred frm this text?
A．CO2-cleaning plants can be put in the grund nw.
B．It is still unknwn whether gene-edited crps will be accepted.
C．Researchers have successfully created gene-edited rice and srghum seeds.
D．CRISPR genme editing will face s many challenges that it has n future.

Frgetting names, faces, r events is a universal human experience; even thse wh see their minds sharp struggle with memry lss frm time t time. Mst cnsider these mental mistakes t be annyed, and they’re seen as a ptentially wrrisme sign f cgnitive（认知的）decline. But neurlgist Sctt Small, wh studies and treats Alzheimer’s disease（老年痴呆） at Clumbia University, thinks this view f frgetting is all wrng. In fact, sme amunt f frgetfulness is critical fr ur minds and relatinships t functin at their best.
We’re develping drugs t prtect against memry lss. But many psychlgists have jked that what they want is a frgetfulness drug. T much memry pses a challenge in any lng-term relatinship. Anger, hatred—they all cme frm nt being able t let g f emtinal memries. Peple wh repeatedly think f anger r fear suffer, ften in lneliness.
Living in a nisy, ever-changing wrld, frgetting details is actually a perfect adaptatin. Creativity isn’t making smething ut f nthing. It’s making cnnectins between already-knwn elements—ideas, wrds, visuals, r expressins—t create smething new. But t make new cnnectins, the existing cnnectins in yur mind have t be lse. If the cnnectins between thse elements are t tightly bund in ur memry, there’s n rm fr creativity.
What can we d t help ur brains frget what we need t frget? One f the best ways t make sure that yu dn’t have a brain that’s burning t. ht with bad memries is t stay scially engaged. Anther thing t d is t sleep, and sleep well. Many experts have cncluded that we sleep in rder t frget, s it makes sense that sleep has been shwn t imprve creativity. If yu’re shrt f sleep, yur brain is n fire with t many memries. The brain is like a lawn f grass—yu need t keep it trimmed（修剪） t make way fr new memries, new cnnectins, and new grwth.
12．What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A．The damage f cgnitive decline.B．The imprtance f frgetting things.
C．The reasns f getting mental disease.D．The methds f preventing memry lss.
13．Why is the frgetfulness drug needed?
A．Because varius pressure makes us sleepless.
B．Because sme patients frget imprtant things.
C．Because t much memry disturbs and bthers us.
D．Because many senirs suffer frm Alzheimer’s disease.
14．What can we learn frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．T much memry blcks ur creativity.B．Our brain can adapt t ever-changing wrld.
C．Sleeping well cntributes t imprved attentin.D．Bad memry has terrible impact n ur scial life.
15．Where is the text prbably frm?
A．A bk review.B．An advertisement.C．A science fictin.D．A news reprt.

The Sptlight Effect
Have yu ever felt as if the entire wrld was watching while yu made a mistake? Well, here’s sme gd news: it’s likely that n ne even nticed.
16 We have this experience nt nly when we make mistakes but als when we perfrm well. Every time we d smething that is a little different frm what we usually d, we may assume that everyne arund us will ntice. The sptlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, r give a terrible answer in class. 17 In these mments, it feels like everyne is watching.
The sptlight effect exists because we all get used t seeing things thrugh ur wn eyes. Every persn is the main character in his r her stry, and the events f ur lives seem t have great imprtance. 18
The sptlight effect is a very cmmn part f the human experience. Hwever, in sme cases, it can lead t extreme scial anxiety and nervusness arund ther peple. Everyne suffers sme degree f scial anxiety. We all care abut what thers think, and we all want t be liked. It’s nrmal t wnder abut what effect we have n ther peple. 19 If smene is s nervus that they can’t make gd decisins, then it’s time t take actin and imprve the situatin.
Learning abut the sptlight effect is imprtant because it can help us reduce ur anxiety. Next time yu feel like everyne is staring at yu, remind yurself that it’s just yur mind playing tricks n yu. 20 If yu fill yur mind with thughts f yur friends and family, it will help yu be less self-cnscius.
A．Hwever, this can be a prblem when the anxiety is t much t handle.
B．That’s why fewer peple ntice the embarrassing circumstances they encunter.
C．Anther gd exercise is t make an effrt t ntice the peple arund yu, rather than fcusing n yurself.
D．The sptlight effect is a trick f the mind that makes us believe that peple ntice us mre ften than they really d.
E．What yu can d at this mment is t ignre them.
F．We are s busy examining urselves that we actually bserve very little abut everyne arund us.
G．It can als appear when we scre a big gal, ask smene n a date, r d a gd deed.
