The Twenty-three-year-ld Mumbai girl Vidhi Bubna is ffering India’s first and nly diving grant t explre the marine ecsystem.
Vidhi’s first diving experience turned ut t be a heartbreaking ne．While she expected a lt f clrs underwater as she had seen n TV, Vidhi came acrss all white crals(珊瑚), which means they are almst dead frm being bleached(褪色).
“It was very sad and I just started crying after cming ut f the water,” she says.
Vidhi, an ecnmics graduate frm Ashka University, did nt enjy wrking with numbers and turned t writing abut scial issues, including wmen’s rights and minrity issues.
As an adventure lver, Vidhi went diving t explre the underwater beauty last year. Her disappintment at seeing dying crals led t the start f Cral Warrirs, a nn-prfit rganisatin that aims t raise awareness f marine prtectin and climate change.
“Nbdy knws abut climate change till they see it,”Vidhi says. The Mumbai-based rganisatin ffers India’s first and nly diving grant．The grant spnsrs level-ne scuba diving educatin in any lcatin f their chice in India.
While there is n specific standard, Vidhi says the selectin prcess is strict, chsing candidates wh are passinate abut climate change and seeing that they d smething f their chice．Fur candidates have been awarded the grant s far and the rganisatin hpes t find at least five peple every year.
“After the candidates return, we expect them t wrk n a climate change prject f their chice, create cmmunities, and wrk t create awareness and drive actin-centric prjects,” she explains.
Prir t starting Cral Warrirs, Vidhi was hsting free nline wrkshps t spread awareness f marine bidiversity and climate change, and has reached abut 5,000 peple thrugh them.

Cichlids and stingrays(慈鲷和黄貂鱼) can perfrm simple plus and subtractin(减法) in the number range f ne t five．This has been shwn in a recent study by the University f Bnn, which has nw been published in the jurnal Scientific Reprts.
“This fact has been knwn fr sme time that Cichlids and stingrays can precisely detect small quantities withut cunting．Hwever, the new research led by Dr. Vera Schluessel frm the University f Bnn has shwn that bth species can even calculate. “We trained the animals t perfrm simple additins and subtractins,” Schluessel explains．“In ding s, they had t increase r decrease a premier value by ne.” Blue means “add ne”, and yellw means“subtract ne”.
But hw d yu ask a cichlid fr the result f“2+1” r“5-1”? The researchers used a methd ther research grups had already successfully used t test the mathematical abilities f bees: They shwed the fish a cllectin f gemetric shapes — fr example, fur squares．If these bjects were clred blue, this meant “add ne”．Yellw, n the ther hand, meant“subtract ne”．After shwing the riginal stimulus (e．g．fur squares), the animals were shwn tw new pictures — ne with five and ne with three squares．If they swam t the crrect picture (i. e. t the five squares in the “blue” arithmetic task), they were rewarded with fd．If they gave the wrng answer, they went away empty-handed. Over time, they learned t assciate the blue clr with an increase f ne in the amunt shwn at the beginning, and the yellw number with a decrease.
But can the fish apply this knwledge t new tasks? Have they actually mastered the mathematical rule behind the clrs? “T check this, we will designedly leave ut sme calculatins during future training,” Schluessel explains.
28．What is knwn abut the tw species befre the new research?
A．They can cunt small quantities easily.
B．They can assciate clrs with numbers.
C．They can d simple calculatins by training.
D．They can identify small quantities accurately.
29．Why is the bee-methd applied?

C．T cmpare fish and bees．D．T prmte the research’s applicatin.
30．Hw is the experiment carried ut?
A．By cllecting and calculating．B．By cmparing and analysing.
C．By bserving and cncluding．D．By predicting and checking.
31．What des the last paragraph imply?
A．The fish are cmpetent in mathematical calculatin.
B．The prcedure f the experiment needs imprvement.
C．Mre trials are still needed t cnfirm the new findings.
D．Calculatin methds are cmprehended by bth species.

The “diet” in diet drinks may be a false prmise fr sme s da lvers．True, they deliver the taste f a sda experience, withut the calries．Yet, new research shws they can als leave peple with increased appetite.
A study published recently in JAMA Netwrk Open adds t the evidence that drinks made with sucralse, an artificial sweetener(甜味剂), may increase the appetite amng sme peple．“We fund females and verweight peple had greater brain reward activity after cnsuming the artificial sweetener,”says study authr Katie Page, a physician at the University f Suthern Califrnia．Bth grups at e mre fd after cnsuming drinks with sucralse, cmpared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In cntrast, the study fund males and peple f healthy weight did nt have an increase in either brain reward activity r hunger respnse, suggesting they’re nt affected in the same way.
One thery is that it’s nt the artificial sweetener itself that has a direct effect n the bdy．The idea is that artificial sweeteners may cnfuse the bdy by tricking it int thinking sugar is cming．“Yu are suppsed t get sugar after smething tastes sweet,” explains Swithers, “Yur bdy has been used t that.” But the sugar never arrives, which may lead t the bdy’s less efficiency in prcessing sugar that’s cnsumed later.
Swithers’ lab has als dcumented that when animals with a histry f cnsuming artificial sweeteners get real sugar, their bld sugar levels rise higher than thse f animals nt fed artificial sweeteners．“It’s a small effect, but ver time this culd cntribute t ptentially significant cnsequences,” she says．If this is happening in sme peple wh cnsume diet sda, it culd add t the risk f Type 2 diabetes(糖尿病), because when bld sugar rises, the bdy has t release mre insulin(胰岛素) t absrb the sugar．“S what yu’re ding is that yu are kind f pushing the system harder,”Swithers says.
32．What can we learn frm Katie Page’s study?
A．Females enjying diet drinks cnsume mre fd.
B．Artificial sweeteners help males with better appetite.
C．Diet drinks increase hunger respnse f healthy peple.
D．Peple cnsuming sucralse have greater brain reward activity.
33．What des the underlined wrd “that” inparagraph3refert?
A．The effect f sugar．B．Respnse t sweetness.
C．Artificial sweetener．D．The absence f sweetness.
34．What can we infer frm Susan Swithers’ wrds in the last paragraph?
A．Mre insulin release helps sugar level rise.
B．Peple drinking diet sda hardly absrb sugar.
C．Type 2 diabetes mainly results frm artificial sweeteners.
D．Cnsuming artificial sweeteners might cause health prblems.
35．What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A．The ptential f artificially-sweetened drinks.
B．The wisdm f chsing healthy sweet drinks.
C．The underlying link between diet drinks and health.
D．The differences amng artificially-sweetened drinks.

Bst Yur Memry
When trying t memrize new material, it’s easy t assume that the mre wrk yu put in, the better yu will perfrm． 36 Just turn dwn the lights, sit back, and enjy 10-15 minutes f quiet rest, and yu’ll find that yur memry is far better than if yu had attempted t use that mment mre prductively.
Althugh it’s knwn that we shuld pace ur studies, new research suggests that we shuld aim fr“ minimal distractin”during these breaks． 37 Yu really need t give yur brain the chance fr a cmplete recharge with n distractin.
The memry-bsting benefits f undisturbed rest were dcumented in 1900．In ne experiment, the researcher first asked the participants t learn a list f syllables．Fllwing a shrt perid, half the grup was immediately given a secnd list t learn, while the rest were given a six-minute break befre cntinuing． 38 The participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent, cmpared t an average f 28 percent fr the ther grup.
In the early 2000s, tw ther researchers led several fllw-up studies. In healthy participants, they have fund that shrt perids f rest can als imprve ur memry f places．Mre crucially, this advantage stays a week after the riginal learning ta sk and it seems t benefit yung and ld peple alike． 39
The exact mechanism is still unknwn. It is nw accepted that nce memries are initially encded, they pass thrugh a perid f cnslidatin(巩固) that bnd them in lng-term strage． 40 But nw in the age f infrmatin, it seems that ur brains d need a shrt break at times t functin better.
A．Our memry is easily distracted by new infrmatin.
B．This was nce thught t happen primarily during sleep.
C．We tend t avid activities cntradictry t memry tasks.
D．Yet ding nthing ccasinally may be exactly what yu need.
E．S dn’t check yur emails, r surf the web n yur smartphne.
F．When tested ne hur later, bth grups shwed strikingly different patterns f recall.
G．They have als fund similar benefits fr peple in the earlier stages f Alzheimer’s disease.

33．B猜测词义题。根据第三段第二句人造甜味剂可能会误导身体，让它误以为糖来了。说明人的身体已经习惯尝到了甜的东西后一定会得到糖，这是身体对糖的回应。
34．D推理判断题。最后一段 Susan Swither 说道：虽然这是一个很小的影响，但随着时间的推移，可能会导致潜在的重大后果。因此，综合来看，摄入人工甜味剂可能会导致重大的健康问题。
35．C．主旨大意题。根据全文内容来看，本文主要讲的是无糖饮品因添加了人工甜味剂而使得摄入的人胃口大增，对身体有害可知文章主要谈论了无糖饮料与健康之间的潜在联系。

38．F 根据空后一句讲述了实验的最终结果即休息的参与者记住了近50%，而另一组平均记住了28%，可知空白处应该是讲述实验的过程，一小时后进行测试时，两组人的回忆模式明显不同。
39．G根据本段第二句在健康的参与者中，他们发现短暂的休息也可以提高我们对地点的记忆，可知空白处讲述了短暂的休息对于其他人的好处即老年痴呆症的早期和中期患者也有类似的益处．G项中als， benefit 是提示。
40．B A项中this指代上一句话中nce memries are initially encded, they pass thrugh a perid f cnslidatin that bnd them in lng-term strage．Once 和后句 But nw 构成转折关系。
