On a clear sunny day n the Gergia cast, ectur guide Rene Heidt leads her guests n her bat thrugh a narrw waterway. Unbrken grasses reach verhead, and there’s n building, pwer line, r cell twer in sight. It’s a perfect lcatin fr visitrs t view a nearby mudflat (泥滩), where rughly300,000 shrebirds, including the rseate spnbill and the whimbrel, cme t eat, rest, and nest every year.
Heidt has had a 15-year career as an ectur guide and much f what she shares n the turs cmes frm her experiences. But mre recently, the University f Gergia’s Castal Awareness and Respnsible Ecturism (CARE) certificatin (认证) prgram has been designed t supprt ectur guides like Heidt, helping imprve the infrmatin they share with turists. The prgram ffers up-t-date educatinal material and training t ectur guides and prvides certificatin that cnfirms their devtin t preserving the habitats.
While prviding knwledge abut Gergia’s natural resurces, the CARE prgram als discusses hw t visit
sme sensitive areas respnsibly. Nw, when Heidt gives bating turs, she rws with a light tuch, mving almst silently acrss the water. When she shares facts abut wildlife with her guests, she desn’t speak luder than whispers. Actually, it’s a skill Heidt must have perfected in her previus career. “The prgram changes the way I give turs. It helps me t be mre mindful f a bat’s influence n the very thing we are trying t teach peple abut,” she recalled.
Getting trained thrugh the CARE prgram als benefits Heidt’s business. Accrding t Heidt, the prgram allws her t learn mre abut this envirnment. And that’s knwledge she passes alng t her guests. “It’s a fantastic cast,” she says. “And it’s imprtant t share its beauty with thers t help them realize that it is wrth prtecting.”

Are yu an pen bk, yur face bradcasting every passing emtin, r mre f a pker face, nt shwing what yu are feeling? Scientists at Nttingham Trent University say that wearing yur heart n yur face, culd actually give yu a significant scial advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellw at NTU’s Schl f Scial Sciences, invlving ver 1,300 participants, nticed striking variatins in hw much peple mved their faces during cnversatins. Imprtantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. Peple displayed similar levels f facial expressiveness acrss different cntexts, with different scial partners, and even ver time perids up t fur mnths.
The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked t persnality, with mre agreeable individuals displaying mre lively faces. Facial expressiveness can als translate int cncrete scial benefits. In a negtiatin
task, mre expressive individuals are mre likely t secure a larger slice f a reward. The researchers suggest that fr agreeable flks, dynamic facial expressins may serve as a tl fr building gd relatinship and smthing ver cnflicts. Acrss the bard, the results pint t facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) functin,” r a scial glue that develps liking and smther interactins.
Expressiveness is als linked t being seen as mre “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes ne’s intentins and mental states easier fr thers t decipher. Beynd frequency f facial mvements, peple wh emply facial expressins mre strategically t suit scial gals, such as lking friendly in a greeting, are als mre well- liked.
The findings challenge the “pker face” cmmn belief that a still and unemtinal appearance is always mst advantageus. Instead, they suggest that fr mst peple, allwing ne’s face t mirrr inner states and intentins can invite warmer reactins. As the researchers cnclude, “Being facially expressive is scially advantageus.” S, the next time yu catch yurself making lines n yur frehead, r flashing a smile, knw that yur face just might be wrking vertime n yur behalf.
8. What des Paragraph 2 mainly talk abut cncerning the study?
A. Its impact.B. Its findings.C. Its limitatins.D. Its significance.
9 What may facial expressiveness serve as in negtiatin settings?
A. A way t frighten cmpetitrs.
B. A methd t hide persnalities.
C. A tl t shw persnal quality.
D. A strategy t settle disagreement.
10. What des the underlined wrd “decipher” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Cpy.B. Overlk.C. RememberD. Interpret.
11. What may the authr advise based n the findings f the study?
A. Always wearing a still face.B. Learning t be an pen bk.
C. Speaking ut inner emtins.D. Frcing a smile thrugh tears.
D
A man in a lab cat bends under a dim light with tight eyes lking at a micrscpe. Time is shrt, the pays-ff are high, and nly this scientist can save everyne. That kind f rmanticized picture f science was standard fr a lng time. But it’s far frm the truth.
Sme scientists search fr the causes f sme bservable effects, such as the link between destryed frests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” f things. Fr example, eclgists build mdels t estimate gray wlf abundance in Mntana, US. It’s impractical t spt them all and cunt them. Abundance mdels are nt 100 percent accurate, but they ffer estimates that seem gd enugh t set harvesting qutas (限额) and maintain the ecsystem.
Beynd the “what” and the “why”, scientists may fcus n the “hw”. Fr instance, the lives f peple living with illnesses can be imprved by research n hw t relieve symptms, even if the true causes f their disrders are largely unknwn t current medicine.
Peple ften think “real science” shuld prvide definite, cmplete and perfect answers t their questins. Hwever, given varius limitatins and the wrld’s cmplexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is ften the best way fr scientists t reach their gals and slve the prblems at hand.
In the wrld f science, healthy disagreement is a feature, nt a bug. Science is a scial prcess in which the cmmunity’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knwledge. “Best available” des nt mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find ut hw t imprve it.
The lng histry f atmism (原子论) shws hw science is a prcess rather than a fast delivery f results set in stne. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin cnducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussin regarding atms, questins abut the atm’s prperties were abut t spark decades f cntrversy with the birth f quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussins cntinue t the present day.
S, real science is a cllective, imperfect and may-sided prcess in which scientists cntribute multiple and ften partial slutins t cmplex and diverse prblems.
12. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the article?
A. By describing a scientific research prcess.
B. By telling a scientist’s persnal experience.
C. By giving an example f scientific failure.
D. By presenting a cmmn miscnceptin.
13. What d paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk abut?
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The histry f scientific research.
C. The methds scientists use t share results.
D. The varius fcuses f scientists in their research.
14. What is the authr’s view n healthy disagreements in science?
A. They are essential fr scientific prgress.
B. They create cnfusin and delay cnclusins.
C. They indicate prblems in scientific methds.
D. They ften lead t the rejectin f ld theries.
15. Why des the authr mentin Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate ?
A. T shw science is a cllectin f facts.
B. T prve scientific knwledge is always abslute.
C. T illustrate science is a dynamic and evlving prcess.
D. T shw scientific cnclusin can be reached after discussin.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The year 2013 marked a turning pint in my life. In June, my husband was ffered a new Jb in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bttleneck as a phtgrapher and cpywriter (广告文字撰写人), I, withut any hesitatin, made the decisin t relcate with him.
While my husband engaged in wrk, my visa didn’t grant me the same privilege. But that’s kay. I didn’t knw what t d anyway. I was left islated, hmesick and lacking purpse. Our new hme was a bungalw near a river that cut acrss expansive grasslands. With few peple arund ur hme, I turned t nature, which had been a fndness f mine since childhd. Every day, I wuld take my camera and wander arund, phtgraphing aimlessly.
It wasn’t lng befre September arrived, bringing the full flw f the rainy seasn. After ne particularly bad thunderstrm, I fund a finch (雀) — a pr little thing barely a mnth ld with ne wing brken — n the grund. Evidently, he had been abandned by his flck, his nest blwn frm a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the
size f my lite finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shuddering, t yung t survive alne. I smehw felt a cnnectin with it. Immediately I scped him up and cautiusly placed him in a cardbard bx with twels, mimicking a nest, and stayed up all night researching hw t care fr him.
The next day, he seemed t regain sme energy. He wke with his muth pen, thugh still t weak t let ut a call. I fed him sme fd and chirped (叽喳) at him. T my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed int my hand. I affectinately gazed at this adrable creature, wh was nw bldly pecking (啄) my fingers nw and then. A surge f warmth ran thrugh me. Tenderly strking his feathers, I chirped a lullaby, singing him t sleep. Gradually, his eyes drped and he drifted ff. I culdn’t help but chuckle at the scene — as far as he was cncerned, I was his mther.
Para 1. “I will take care f yu.” I murmured, making my prmise t him.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. At that mment I realized that as I dedicated myself t the finch’s care, smething within me changed.
