The vilence f shaking frm an earthquake is usually fcused in the directin the quake is traveling.But a bmerang quake may spread the intense shaking acrss a wider zne.The new study, published tday in the jurnal Nature Gescience,is a majr step tward clearing up the cmplex physics behind bmerang quakes and understanding their ptential damage.
The latest bmerang was recrded near the mid-cean ridge in the Atlantic in 2016.By examining the psitin f the epicenter(震中)and the energy released by each shaking phase,Stephen Hicks,an earthquake seismlgist at the Imperial Cllege Lndn and first authr f the new study,identified what seemed t be tw steps f the quake:The quake initially headed eastward,but then turned back west. “This was weird,”he says.This secnd leg f the quake mved remarkably quickly, at s-called supershear speeds.The quake unzipped the surface at an estimated 11,000 miles per hur—fast enugh t dart frm New Yrk t Lndn in 18.5 minutes,s fast that it caused the gelgic versin f a snic bm.
Hw ften des this happen?A bmerang quake at supershear speeds,as Hicks and his team bserved in the Atlantic,may be a fairly rare type.But wider evidence f bmerang quakes is munting.These back-tracking events have been studied in cmputer mdels as well as simulated in lab experiments.“The thery says that it's there,but it's quite difficult t see that [in the real wrld],”says Hicks.The 2016 earthquake in Kumamt als seems t have ruptured(破裂)in a similar prcess.Fr that event,the initial shake triggered tw ther quakes,ne f which raced backward t partially verlap the initial break.
Understanding when and why these bmerang events happen is vital t grappling with risks earthquakes present.“Studies like this help us understand hw past earthquakes ruptured,hw future earthquakes may rupture,and hw that relates t the ptential impact fr faults(断层)near ppulated areas,”says Hicks.
These bmerangs maybe bscured by cnventinal appraches used t analyze quakes,which are based n an assumptin that a quake rushes in ne directin. “Naturally we're nt lking fr it,we dn't expect it t exist,”Hicks says.Yet fr earthquakes,it seems,cmplexities might be the nrm rather than the exceptin.As Hicks puts it:“The mre and mre we lk at earthquakes in mre detail,f curse we see stranger things.”
28.A bmerang earthquake differs frm ther quakes because
A.it mves at a super-fast speed
B.it triggers several small quakes
C.it releases immeasurable energy
D.it shakes in tw ppsite directins
29.Frm the passage,we can learn that
A.the cming f the next bmerang can be predicted
B.bmerangs are t cmplex t be fully understd
C.bmerang events are cmmnplace in the real wrld
D.cmmn methds are reliable in analyzing bmerangs
30.What des the underlined phrase“grappling with”in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A.putting ff B.cping with
C.bringing abut D.fighting against
D
All ver the wrld,frmal educatin supplies the ecnmy with wrkers wh will increase prductivity t fuel the ecnmic machine,But this machine nw
threatens ur very survival.,If the entire wrld reaches the levels f cnsumptin seen in high-incme cuntries tday,we'll need multiple planet Earths t supply the resurces,The absurd(荒谬的)idea f infinite grwth within a finite territry is at the heart f ur ecnmic system.
T keep this machine running,frmal educatin generates ever mre efficient “human capital”,Increasing prductivity metrics(指标)rather than the individuality f students drives ur civilizatin's apprach t schling ur yung peple Whereas the Sustainable Develpment Gals call fr turning educatin int a frce fr sustainability,the ppsite is ften true:The ways Western scieties have cme t think abut educatin undermine ur ability t deal with the envirnmental crisis.T get thrugh this crisis,we need t cultivate ur imaginatin,nt undermine it.
Grwing up,nne f my schling fstered my ability t imagine a wrld different frm what I saw arund me.Besides,I realize the suppressin(抑制)f children's imaginatin desn't take place nly in underresurced cmmunities,but in“elite”institutins that tut“critical thinking”.Schls want t see their graduates succeed,and success is t ften abut maintaining current structures—nt abut reimagining their fundatins.
Essentially,ur educatin systems shape children in the image f artificial intelligence.The perfect“wrker”,AI,cntinually imprves its wn prductivity but desn't challenge the larger structures within which it perates.It is ne f the great paradxes f ur time that we invest s much int building supercmputers while marginalizing the imaginative ptential f millins f human brains.What's mre, we even put ur hpe in slving the envirnmental crisis n AI.But AI,like ur ther technlgies,can nly treat the symptms f the envirnmental crisis,nt the causes
Thrughut histry,achievers f great change have relied n their imaginatins t address fundamental flaws in sciety.In my cuntry f birth,cmmunists kept their dreams f demcracy alive fr decades by imagining different futures.In Suth Africa,Nelsn Mandela's fllwers had t be radical(激进的)in their imaginatin t create a visin f a fairer sciety.Imagining demcracy when living under a ttalitarian regime(极权主义政权)isn't that different frm imagining degrwth when living in a wrld f infinite grwth,
The kind f intelligence that Nelsn Mandela and such pssessed was nt artificial.The ability treimagine the future and disrupt the current situatin remains a distinctly human quality.Unlike AI,children are naturally imaginative and questin the premises f sciety.In my research,I have bserved that yunger children are ften the mst radical in imagining different futures.
As lng as ur imaginatin is curtailed,ideas like degrwth sund utpian(乌托 邦 的 )t many,Cultivating imaginatin means learning frm histry's disrupters wh made the impssible pssible.Instead f dismissing“childish”ideas abut the wrld's future,it means seeing inspiratin in children's imaginatins.In an educatin system that celebrates imaginatin,arts and creativity are as imprtant as math and science.Idealism cexists with pragmatism.The envirnmental crisis is nt a crisis f technlgy r science,it is a crisis fimaginatin.If we let children be ur guides,we might be able t imagine ur way t survival.
31.The authr hpes educatin can play its rle in
A.develping human resurces B.prmting sustainable develpment
C.increasing prductivity D.maximizing ecnmic grwth
32.Frm the passage,we can learn that
A.imaginatin isn't well develped in schls
B.AI helps explit the ptential f human brains
C.graduates'success changes the scial structures
D.AI can address the rt cause f ecnmic crisis
33.Nelsn Mandela is mentined as
A.a success in building a fair sciety
B.a leader wh had a great influence
C.a pineer pssessing the quality fAI
D.an inspiratin t slve scial prblems
34.Accrding t the passage,the authr may agree that
A.children's imaginatin ensures human's survival
B.the envirnmental crisis results frm technlgy
C.imaginatin can help slve envirnmental crisis
D.the“childish”ideas will ruin the wrld's future

What Came First,the Chicken r the Egg?
Chickens are ne f the mst ecnmically imprtant animals in the wrld tday. 35 ,Recent advancements in archaelgical methdlgies have unveiled that numerus bne discveries,nce believed t be evidence f early chíckens,actually belng t wild birds,
Nw,in a new publicatin,an internatinal team f archaelgists,histrians, and bimlecular scientists present the earliest clear evidence fr the raising f chickens fr egg prductin.Using eggshell fragments cllected frm 12 archaelgical sites cvering rughly 1500 years,the researchers shw that chickens were widely raised in Central Asia frm apprximately 400 BCE t 1000 CE and were likely spread alng the ancient Silk Rad. 36 .It was this trait f prductive egg laying,the researchers argue,that made the dmestic chicken s attractive t ancient peples
37 .They cllected tens f thusands f eggshell fragments frm sites lcated alng the main Central Asian crridr f the Silk Rad.They then used a methd f bimlecular analysis called ZMS t identify the surce f the eggs. The identificatin f these shell fragments as chickens,and their abundance at each site,led the researchers t an imprtant cnclusin. 38 .In the wild, this kind f bird nests nce per year and typically lays six eggs per clutch(窝). This is the earliest evidence fr the lss f seasnal egg laying yet identified in the archaelgical recrd.Meanwhile,it is an imprtant clue fr better understanding the mutualistic(共生的)relatinships between humans and animals that resulted in dmesticatin
Taken tgether,the new study suggests an answer t the age-ld riddle f the
chicken and the egg. 39 .
A.T reach these cnclusins,the team did a lt f wrk.
B.The abundance f eggshells further suggests that the birds were laying ut f seasn.
C.Yet,the stry f hw they riginated and spread thrughut the ancient wrld
remains largely unclear.
D.Research shws chickens were bred thrughut suthern Central Asia,and were
spread alng the ancient Silk Rad.
E.The birds must have been laying mre frequently than their wild ancestr,the red
jungle fwl
F.They argue that the lss f seasnal egg laying was the main drive fr the spread
f dmestic chickens acrss Eurasia and nrtheast Africa
G.As the evidence in Central Asia suggests,the ability t lay a large number f eggs
is what made the chicken the chicken we knw tday,

What We Really Knw Abut ASMR
If yu spend time n YuTube r TikTk,yu may have cme acrss vides f smene whispering int a micrphne,carefully slicing stacks f slime,r slwly ripping strips f paper.These vides are designed t trigger an autnmus sensry meridian(经络)respnse,r ASMR,a pleasant feeling that travels frm the tp f the head dwn the back f the neck t the upper spine.
Watching vides that trigger ASMR is thught t lead t psitive respnses thrughut the bdy including enhanced md,relaxatin,and even pain relief.But can yu really achieve these benefits just by watching a shrt vide?A systematic review published seeks t answer that questin.German researchers cmbined the data frm 54 studies t better help us understand ASMR and its effects.
But first,where did this idea cme frm?There are references t feelings similar t ASMR in classic literature dating back t the early 1900s.The cntemprary definitins f ASMR sprang frm a discussin frum n a health-fcused website in2007.A YuTuber named Jennifer Allen cined the term in 2010.
Based n the previus studies,the researchers cncluded that examples f triggers include whispering,tapping,and natural sunds,and it is imprtant t nte that specific triggers f ASMR and the intensity f the respnse vary widely by individuals.They als explred its benefits.Clear evidence shws that ASMR can reduce stress and anxiety.Data als shws that it can imprve shrt-term memry.In specific cases,participants watching ASMR vides had lwer heart rates and bld pressure,physical signals f relaxatin.In additin,they fund that ASMR triggers brain activity patterns assciated with relaxatin and stress relief.
Despite the encuraging results,the authrs nted that many f the ASMR studies had small sample sizes and a lack f diversity amng participants; mre research is needed t truly understand the impacts f ASMR.
Luckily,it's true that watching sensry vides f peple brushing their hair,whispering,and making sft repetitive nises can lead t relaxatin and stress relief.The best thing abut ASMR is that there are minimal side effects.S if yu're feeling anxius r stressed,it might be wrth watching a few minutes f ASMR vides t see if they help!
40.What is an autnmus sensry meridian respnse(ASMR)?
41.Accrding t the studies,what benefits can ASMR bring us?
42.Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement,then underline it and explain why.
>Althugh triggers f ASMR are different,they may cause reactins fsimilar intensity amng different peple.
43.Besides watching ASMR vides,what else d yu d when feeling anxius r stressed?
