US Army veteran (退伍老兵)Mazyck remembers when dctrs tld her she wuld never walk again.She'd been paralyzed frm the waist dwn after a serius accident while parachuting in 2003.The dctrs never said anything abut flating,thugh.In 2021,she gt t d just that.
Mazyck was ne f 12 participants in a Zer G flight,rganized by the grup AstrAccess. This type f flight recreates the weightlessness that astrnauts experience withut ging all the way t space.Flying ver the Pacific Ocean ff Suthern Califrnia,the mdified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs,allwing the flyers multiple perids f weightlessness.
The experience left Mazyck feeling jyful.“The flight was smething that I wuld have never in my wildest dreams thught I wuld've experienced,"she says,"especially the flating, the weightlessness."
Traditinally,strict physical requirements have prevented disabled peple frm becming astrnauts.AstrAccess is wrking t make space accessible t all.“Space remves the barriers between peple;nw is the time t remve the barriers t space itself,"says Mazyck,"It is sending a message t peple wh have histrically been excluded frm STEM that nt nly is there rm fr yu in space,there is a need fr yu.”
During the flight,she says,the participants did experiments and made bservatins.They tk nte f things that peple withut certain disabilities might nt realize are issues.Fr example,peple wh culdn't grip with their legs needed anther way t hld themselves still while weightless.The grup als experimented with signaling lights fr the deaf and with ways f using braille(盲文)fr the blind.
These types f issues are easy enugh t address.Nw is the time t make space accessible 一 befre space turism r space settlements becme cmmnplace."I am s prud and elated abut what's happening
here,"Mazyck adds."We are paving the way fr the future."
24.What d we knw abut AstrAccess?
A.It redesigns jet airplanes.
C.It prvides physical treatment.
B.It ffers weightlessness experience.
D.It trains the disabled t be astrnauts.
25.What is required in the flights fr the participants?

Three years ag,Juan Carls Sesma had a realizatin.Glbal warming and climate change seemed t be a munting prblem,with scientific recrds indicating rising temperatures and sea levels acrss the wrld.At the same time frest fires,lgging,and aggressive human expansin meant the supply f trees which helped t regulate and remve greenhuse gases frm ur atmsphere was dwindling .
He decided the best way t tackle a prblem this large was t cmbine tw f the mst pwerful frces emerging in technlgy:big data and rbtics.Sesma funded a new cmpany called CO2 Revlutin,whse plan was t use drnes(无人机)t better understand where new trees shuld be planted and t autmate the prcess f planting s that much larger areas f frest culd be reppulated.The cmpany designed a special smart seed that helped t deliver just the right amunt f prtectin and nutritin t the yung saplings.The verall gal was t cnsiderably lwer the time and cst f large scale re-frestatin.
CO2 Revlutin isn't alne.In the UK,a startup called Bicarbn Engineering ran a trial carlier this year where it used drnes t help replant Mangrve trees in Myanmar.It has als deplyed( 部 署 )its technlgy in Australia,Suth Africa,and Mrcc.“In a lt f places, peple will either have a map taken by aerplane,r just use Ggle Earth satellite imagery.
They'll draw things ut freehand and manually plant,either by hand r tractr,"said CEO Susan Graham in a recent interview.
The challenge fr all these startups is t find ways t create a prfitable,r at least sustainable,business mdel.Fr Sesma and the team at CO2 Revlutin,recent regulatry actin has highlighted ne ptential pathway.“We ffer a slutin that allws clients t carry ut massive plantings,incrcasing frest mass and thus cmpensating fr their carbn ftprint.” Amid grwing calls fr carbn sequestratin,this kind f effrt might prve nt just nble,but financially sensible fr large crpratins.
28.What drve Sesma t set up CO2 Revlutin?
A.Big data and rbtics.B.Frest fires and human expansin.
C.Glbal Warming and climate change.D.Pwerful frces emerging in technlgy.
29.What des the underlined wrd"dwindling "prbably mean in paragraph 1?
A.DecliningB.ChangingC.Recvering.D.Expanding
30.What can we infer frm the passage?
A.Drnes are ppulated in larger areas f frests.
B.CO2 Revlutin calls fr a prfitable drne mdel.
C.Bicarbn Engineering sets up wrldwide technlgy centers.
D.Smart seeds are designed t imprve the accuracy f planting.

Babies as yung as 4 mnths ld wh are brn int a bilingual( 双语的 )envirnment shw distinct and ptentially advantagcus brain pattcrms fr speech prcessing.Our early-life experiences can have lifelng effects n ur behavir.The brain is mst sensitive t its envirnment during the first year f life,which is thught t be a critical perid fr language develpment.
Previus studies have lked int the brain mechanisms that underlie ( 构成 … … 的基础 ) speech prcessing in babies wh hear just ne language.T better understand this in bilingual-expsed infants,Brja Blanc at the University f Cambridge and his cllcagues cmpared hw 31 babies wh nly heard Spanish and 26 babies wh heard Spanish and Basque, all aged 4 mnths,respnded t Spanish recrdings f The Little Prince by Antine de Saint-Exupery.
The team used an imaging technique called functinal near-infrared spectrscpy (fNIRS) t measure changes in brain activities.In the Spanish-nly babies,the recrdings caused activatin in areas which play a rle in speech prcessing.In the bilingual-expsed babies,the recrdings similarly evked these respnses,but they were larger and wider.These infants als had activatin in equivalent areas f their brains’right hemispheres ( 脑半 球 ) .When the recrdings were then played backwards as a cntrl arm f the experiment,the infants expsed t just Spanish had larger respnses t the backwards speech,while thse t Spanish and Basque had similar brain patterns as befre.This may be because the bilingual infants take lnger t register their primary language,in this case Spanish,as hearing bth this and Basque reduces their verall expsure t either language.
If this is the casc,it culd help them be sensitive t linguistic differences and enable them t learn t distinguish between languages at a yunger age.The researchers nte that a bilingual envirnment stimulates changes in the brain mechanisms underlying speech prcessing in yung infants,adding weight t the idea that the neural basis f learning tw r mre languages is established very early in life.
32.Why was the study cnducted?
A.T reveal the impact f bilingual expsure. C.T cnclude the factrs fr speech prcessing
B.T cnfirm the pattern f brain mechanism. D.T explre the ptentials fr language
develpment.
33.What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A.Thery basis.
C.Research findings
B.Study methds.
D.Technical assistance,
34.What can we learn frm the research?
A.Bilingual-expsed babies are mre sensitive.
B.Bilingual-expsed babies are mre linguistically critical.
C.Bilingual-expsure reduces babies 'linguistic cmpetence.
D.Bilingual-expsure reduces babies' verall language expsure. 35.Which f the fllwing statements might the researchers agree with?
A.Immigrants speak better languages.
B.Mixed race families wn mre linguistic ptential.
C.Exchange students shw greater learning capability.
D.Overseas wrkers have higher language prficiency.

US Army veteran (退伍老兵)Mazyck remembers when dctrs tld her she wuld never walk again.She'd been paralyzed frm the waist dwn after a serius accident while parachuting in 2003.The dctrs never said anything abut flating,thugh.In 2021,she gt t d just that.
Mazyck was ne f 12 participants in a Zer G flight,rganized by the grup AstrAccess. This type f flight recreates the weightlessness that astrnauts experience withut ging all the way t space.Flying ver the Pacific Ocean ff Suthern Califrnia,the mdified 747 jet airplane made 15 steep dives and climbs,allwing the flyers multiple perids f weightlessness.
The experience left Mazyck feeling jyful.“The flight was smething that I wuld have never in my wildest dreams thught I wuld've experienced,"she says,"especially the flating, the weightlessness."
Traditinally,strict physical requirements have prevented disabled peple frm becming astrnauts.AstrAccess is wrking t make space accessible t all.“Space remves the barriers between peple;nw is the time t remve the barriers t space itself,"says Mazyck,"It is sending a message t peple wh have histrically been excluded frm STEM that nt nly is there rm fr yu in space,there is a need fr yu.”
During the flight,she says,the participants did experiments and made bservatins.They tk nte f things that peple withut certain disabilities might nt realize are issues.Fr example,peple wh culdn't grip with their legs needed anther way t hld themselves still while weightless.The grup als experimented with signaling lights fr the deaf and with ways f using braille(盲文)fr the blind.
These types f issues are easy enugh t address.Nw is the time t make space accessible 一 befre space turism r space settlements becme cmmnplace."I am s prud and elated abut what's happening
here,"Mazyck adds."We are paving the way fr the future."
24.What d we knw abut AstrAccess?
A.It redesigns jet airplanes.
C.It prvides physical treatment.
B.It ffers weightlessness experience.
D.It trains the disabled t be astrnauts.
25.What is required in the flights fr the participants?
A.Astrnaut experience,
C.Weightlessness perids.
B.Steep dives and climbs.
D.Trials and bservatins.
26.Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Mazyck?

Three years ag,Juan Carls Sesma had a realizatin.Glbal warming and climate change seemed t be a munting prblem,with scientific recrds indicating rising temperatures and sea levels acrss the wrld.At the same time frest fires,lgging,and aggressive human expansin meant the supply f trees which helped t regulate and remve greenhuse gases frm ur atmsphere was dwindling .
He decided the best way t tackle a prblem this large was t cmbine tw f the mst pwerful frces emerging in technlgy:big data and rbtics.Sesma funded a new cmpany called CO2 Revlutin,whse plan was t use drnes(无人机)t better understand where new trees shuld be planted and t autmate the prcess f planting s that much larger areas f frest culd be reppulated.The cmpany designed a special smart seed that helped t deliver just the right amunt f prtectin and nutritin t the yung saplings.The verall gal was t cnsiderably lwer the time and cst f large scale re-frestatin.
CO2 Revlutin isn't alne.In the UK,a startup called Bicarbn Engineering ran a trial carlier this year where it used drnes t help replant Mangrve trees in Myanmar.It has als deplyed( 部 署 )its technlgy in Australia,Suth Africa,and Mrcc.“In a lt f places, peple will either have a map taken by aerplane,r just use Ggle Earth satellite imagery.
They'll draw things ut freehand and manually plant,either by hand r tractr,"said CEO Susan Graham in a recent interview.
The challenge fr all these startups is t find ways t create a prfitable,r at least sustainable,business mdel.Fr Sesma and the team at CO2 Revlutin,recent regulatry actin has highlighted ne ptential pathway.“We ffer a slutin that allws clients t carry ut massive plantings,incrcasing frest mass and thus cmpensating fr their carbn ftprint.” Amid grwing calls fr carbn sequestratin,this kind f effrt might prve nt just nble,but financially sensible fr large crpratins.
28.What drve Sesma t set up CO2 Revlutin?
A.Big data and rbtics.B.Frest fires and human expansin.
C.Glbal Warming and climate change.D.Pwerful frces emerging in technlgy.
29.What des the underlined wrd"dwindling "prbably mean in paragraph 1?
A.DecliningB.ChangingC.Recvering.D.Expanding
30.What can we infer frm the passage?
A.Drnes are ppulated in larger areas f frests.
B.CO2 Revlutin calls fr a prfitable drne mdel.
C.Bicarbn Engineering sets up wrldwide technlgy centers.
D.Smart seeds are designed t imprve the accuracy f planting.
31.What des the authr think f startups like CO2 Revlutin?

Babies as yung as 4 mnths ld wh are brn int a bilingual( 双语的 )envirnment shw distinct and ptentially advantagcus brain pattcrms fr speech prcessing.Our early-life experiences can have lifelng effects n ur behavir.The brain is mst sensitive t its envirnment during the first year f life,which is thught t be a critical perid fr language develpment.
Previus studies have lked int the brain mechanisms that underlie ( 构成 … … 的基础 ) speech prcessing in babies wh hear just ne language.T better understand this in bilingual-expsed infants,Brja Blanc at the University f Cambridge and his cllcagues cmpared hw 31 babies wh nly heard Spanish and 26 babies wh heard Spanish and Basque, all aged 4 mnths,respnded t Spanish recrdings f The Little Prince by Antine de Saint-Exupery.
The team used an imaging technique called functinal near-infrared spectrscpy (fNIRS) t measure changes in brain activities.In the Spanish-nly babies,the recrdings caused activatin in areas which play a rle in speech prcessing.In the bilingual-expsed babies,the recrdings similarly evked these respnses,but they were larger and wider.These infants als had activatin in equivalent areas f their brains’right hemispheres ( 脑半 球 ) .When the recrdings were then played backwards as a cntrl arm f the experiment,the infants expsed t just Spanish had larger respnses t the backwards speech,while thse t Spanish and Basque had similar brain patterns as befre.This may be because the bilingual infants take lnger t register their primary language,in this case Spanish,as hearing bth this and Basque reduces their verall expsure t either language.
If this is the casc,it culd help them be sensitive t linguistic differences and enable them t learn t distinguish between languages at a yunger age.The researchers nte that a bilingual envirnment stimulates changes in the brain mechanisms underlying speech prcessing in yung infants,adding weight t the idea that the neural basis f learning tw r mre languages is established very early in life.
32.Why was the study cnducted?
A.T reveal the impact f bilingual expsure. C.T cnclude the factrs fr speech prcessing
B.T cnfirm the pattern f brain mechanism. D.T explre the ptentials fr language
develpment.
33.What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A.Thery basis.
C.Research findings
B.Study methds.
D.Technical assistance,
34.What can we learn frm the research?
A.Bilingual-expsed babies are mre sensitive.
B.Bilingual-expsed babies are mre linguistically critical.
C.Bilingual-expsure reduces babies 'linguistic cmpetence.
D.Bilingual-expsure reduces babies' verall language expsure. 35.Which f the fllwing statements might the researchers agree with?
A.Immigrants speak better languages.
B.Mixed race families wn mre linguistic ptential.
C.Exchange students shw greater learning capability.
D.Overseas wrkers have higher language prficiency.
