Gabby Salazar takes photographs of valuable species (物种) and teaches people about them. In this interview, she answers questions about her experience with citizen (市民) science.
What was your first citizen science project
Gabby Salazar: It was over 10 years ago. One of my friends in Peru was very interested in birds. So we walked around with our cameras and notebooks for a day. We saw many different species, and we took photos of them. Later, we posted all our information on eBird.
What is eBird
Gabby Salazar: It’s an Internet-based citizen science project at Cornell University in the United States. People around the world record information about birds they see. Today, eBird has over 590 million records of more than 10,000 different bird species. Scientists use the information to answer important questions. For example: Where do certain birds live How many are there
How can a person become a citizen scientist
Gabby Salazar: It’s easy. First, find a project that you like online. One of my favorites is iNaturalist, which studies animals and plants. Then download (下载) the project’s app and use your phone to take pictures. When you’re done, send your photos to iNaturalist. It’s a great way to learn about your environment, and you also support scientists with their research.
If you can’t take photos, you can still do something for citizen science. For example, you can take part in a fun project called Wildwatch Kenya. Experts hide cameras in trees and other places. When an animal moves past, the camera takes a photo. Citizen scientists then review the photos online and tell the animals they see from others.
31．The purpose of the passage is to answer important questions about certain bird species.
32．Salazar first took part in the citizen science project through iNaturalist.
33．More than 590 million bird records have been uploaded to eBird.
34．According to the third question, four steps are needed before people become citizen scientists.
35．To take part in the Wildwatch Kenya project, people need to travel to Kenya.

So, it’s exam time again. Have you done the necessary work to get good scores
Some students sleep with the textbook under the pillow(枕头) in the hope that knowledge will be magically going to their brain. But it doesn’t work. The best way is to practice repeatedly over a long period of time instead of learning all things in a short time before exams. Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises, if you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you’ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.
________—get a pen and paper and start working. Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at getting back the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run. John Dunlosky, a Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US; suggests that “You start by reading a textbook with your favorite pens and colors; and then write down the important ideas on small cards. While doing so, you actually try to test yourselves on them.”
Good revision(复习) should give you confidence. But if you are still worried, some special traditions are suggested. In Japan it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork pieces; The name of the dish makes people think of the word “Katsu”, meaning “winning”. For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam, because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads. And in different parts of the world, there are always those who believe in their “lucky socks”.
The bottom line is that you need to stay healthy. Eating good meals, drinking enough water and sleeping well on the eve of the test help a lot. They make it easier for you to get success.
Good luck in your exam!
41．How many suggestions are mentioned in this passage
A．Five. B．Three. C．Four.
42．Which sentence can be best put in _________ in Paragraph 3
A．Don’t text yourself very often.B．Don’t read your textbooks loudly. C．Don’t depend on memory alone.
43．Who usually avoid washing hair before the tests
A．Korean students. B．Japanese students. C．Chinese students.
44．What can you infer from this passage
A．The traditions about exams always work out.
B．Writing while reading is just a waste of time.
C．To memorize the knowledge, some people even choose to sleep with the textbook.
45．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Are you worried about your exam B．Are you ready for your exam C．Are you busy with your exam

Ever since it 61 in 40, 000 BC, gold has fascinated human beings. For thousands of years, we humans 62 it with wealth and power. But what else can we learn about this popular metal

It’s actually very hard to create gold. The powerful reactions created by neutron stars will do it, but we can’t make it 65 . But that hasn’t stopped humans from 66 .
In the past 67 , scientists who called themselves “alchemists”(炼金师) tried making it by mixing together different elements, such as lead(铅).
68 we got it, gold is useful in our life. It can be made into a very thin wire(线) that still conducts(传导) 69 , making it useful for making electronics. Since it’s not dangerous to eat in small amounts, gold can be added to food. And there are few pieces of jewelry (珠宝) that are as classic as a 70 gold necklace.

This won’t happen if the islanders choose to do something about it. 72 . The Pacific Islands are made up of 1l different countries: the Marshall Islands, Fuji, Samoa, and others. But now, those countries are working together. They’re joining forces to fight climate change.

They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030. How will they pull this off 75 . They’ll make use of solar and wind energy.

Many Chinese liked to travel abroad or across cities on vacation, but now camping has become more and more popular with them because of COVID-19.
A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent National Day holiday, camping-related searches rose a lot compared with that in September. Forests and islands were two most popular key words.
Li Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “We liked to visit museums or travel to other cities. But now we just go camping and we find it’s relaxing,” Li told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy sports and activities outside.
This growing popularity has also made the sale of camping-related tools greater, such as tents, tables and chairs, and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said the number of visit for their camping tools on Oct. 1st rose by 90 percent compared with the week before.
However, the need for camping space is greater than that for the tools. “Everywhere is full of people and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist from Beijing told Global times.
Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In a camping place in Beijing’s Mountain Shuangfeng, some of the land has become barren (荒芜的) because of too many visitors walking on it. Trash, like bamboo chopsticks and disposable plates (一次性餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua.
The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said some environmental researchers.
