      单元引言解读
      T raise new questins, new pssibilities, t regard ld prblems frm a new angle, requires creative imaginatin and marks real advance in science. —Albert Einstein&Lepld Infeld
      释义:Science begins with a prblem. T ask a questin is mre imprtant than t slve a prblem. It is the sul f scientific research.
      启示:它让我们知道,科学起始于问题。这启示我们要善于观察,从日常中察觉有待探究的点。比如看到植物的生长变化,思考其背后的原理。提出问题比解决问题更关键,意味着好的问题能开启新领域。像对宇宙起源的疑问,促使了相关研究的开展。强调提问是科研的灵魂,提醒我们要有质疑精神。在学习和工作中,积极发问,而非被动接受。教育中也应鼓励学生提问,培养创新思维。

      【译文欣赏】
      埃德温·哈勃在20世纪20年代取得了他最重要的发现。如今,其他天文学家继续着他开创的工作。他们中的许多人正在使用以他名字命名的哈勃太空望远镜。
      埃德温·鲍威尔·哈勃于1889年出生在密苏里州的马什菲尔德。他的早年时光在肯塔基州度过。随后,他随家人搬到了路易斯维尔的芝加哥。他就读于芝加哥大学,学习数学和天文学。哈勃是个好学生,同时也是优秀的运动员。1909年,他是芝加哥大学冠军篮球队的成员,还是一名出色的拳击手。大学毕业后,有几个人力劝他训练参加世界重量级拳击冠军赛,但他决定继续深造,前往英国牛津大学的王后学院。
      在牛津,哈勃学习法律。他对英国普通法很感兴趣,因为他的家族多年前从英国移居美国。他在牛津待了三年。1913年,哈勃回到美国,在肯塔基州路易斯维尔开了一家律师事务所。但不久后,他决定不想当律师,便回到芝加哥大学,再次研究天文学。埃德温·哈勃是第一个使用海尔望远镜的人。1953年,他在准备花四个晚上通过望远镜观测天空时去世。
      哈勃的工作引发了关于宇宙诞生的新研究。一位天文学家说,从那以后,科学家们一直在填补细节,而且,他说,还有很长的路要走。
      【词汇积累】
      【知识拓展】
      1.兴趣与选择的重要性:哈勃放弃拳击冠军潜力和律师职业,坚持回归天文学,体现了“追随内心热爱”的意义——职业选择不应仅看外界期待,而需遵从兴趣与使命。
      2.跨界思维的价值:他兼具科学、体育与法律背景,说明跨领域知识能拓宽视野,甚至为专业研究提供独特视角(如法律思维对科研逻辑的潜在影响)。
      3.坚持与遗产:尽管去世前仍在准备观测,他的研究推动了宇宙学发展,印证“未完成的探索也能成为后人的基石”,努力的意义不止于个人成就,更在于对世界的长远影响。
      【词汇延伸】
      【长难句分析】
      原句:He died in 1953 while preparing t spend fur nights lking thrugh the telescpe at the sky.
      分析:
      主干:He died in 1953.
      时间状语从句:while preparing t spend fur nights...(省略了主语he和be动词was,完整为while he was preparing...)
      固定结构:spend time ding sth.(花费时间做某事),此处为spend fur nights lking thrugh...
      翻译:1953年,他在准备花四个晚上通过望远镜观测天空时去世。
      关键:理解while引导的省略句逻辑,以及spend后接动名词的用法,突出哈勃去世时仍投身科研的状态。

      (2019年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标Ⅰ))During the rsy years f elementary schl(小学), I enjyed sharing my dlls and jkes, which allwed me t keep my high scial status. I was the queen f the playgrund. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cl kids. They rse in the ranks nt by being friendly but by smking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jkes n thers, amng whm I sn fund myself.
      Ppularity is a well-explred subject in scial psychlgy. Mitch Prinstein, a prfessr f clinical psychlgy srts the ppular int tw categries: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-thers qualities strengthen schlyard friendships, jump-start interpersnal skills and, when tapped early, are emplyed ever after in life and wrk. Then there’s the kind f ppularity that appears in adlescence: status brn f pwer and even dishnrable behavir.
      Enviable as the cl kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies shw unpleasant cnsequences. Thse wh were highest in status in high schl, as well as thse least liked in elementary schl, are “mst likely t engage(从事) in dangerus and risky behavir.”
      In ne study, Dr. Prinstein examined the tw types f ppularity in 235 adlescents, scring the least liked, the mst liked and the highest in status based n student surveys(调查研究). “We fund that the least well-liked teens had becme mre aggressive ver time tward their classmates. But s had thse wh were high in status. It clearly shwed that while likability can lead t healthy adjustment, high status has just the ppsite effect n us.”
      Dr. Prinstein has als fund that the qualities that made the neighbrs want yu n a play date—sharing, kindness, penness—carry ver t later years and make yu better able t relate and cnnect with thers.
      In analyzing his and ther research, Dr. Prinstein came t anther cnclusin: Nt nly is likability related t psitive life utcmes, but it is als respnsible fr thse utcmes, t. “Being liked creates pprtunities fr learning and fr new kinds f life experiences that help smebdy gain an advantage, ” he said.
      32.What srt f girl was the authr in her early years f elementary schl?
      A.Unkind.B.Lnely.C.Generus.D.Cl.
      33.What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
      A.The classificatin f the ppular.
      B.The characteristics f adlescents.
      C.The imprtance f interpersnal skills.
      D.The causes f dishnrable behavir.
      34.What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find abut the mst liked kids?
      A.They appeared t be aggressive.
      B.They tended t be mre adaptable.
      C.They enjyed the highest status.
      D.They perfrmed well academically.
      35.What is the best title fr the text?

      B.The Higher the Status, the Better
      C.Be the Best—Yu Can Make It
      D.Mre Self-Cntrl, Less Aggressiveness
      1. 首段叙事句(文学化表达与学术研究的衔接)
      原句:
      Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cl kids. They rse in the ranks nt by being friendly but by smking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jkes n thers, amng whm I sn fund myself.
      结构与逻辑:
      倒装结构:以 “Then came...” 开头,通过时间顺序引出青春期社交变化,形成 “童年友好→青春期地位竞争” 的对比。
      并列行为:通过 “nt by...” 强调 “酷孩子” 通过负面行为(吸烟、违规)提升地位,为后文研究提供现象铺垫。
      定语从句:amng whm I sn fund myself表明作者自身经历与研究对象的关联,增强故事真实性与代入感。
      翻译:
      接着到了我的少年时期,身边出现了刻薄的女孩和 “酷孩子”。他们不是通过友善,而是通过吸烟、违反规则和捉弄他人来提升地位 —— 我很快也成为了他们中的一员。
      难点突破:
      识别 “rse in the ranks” 的隐喻(地位攀升),结合 “dishnrable behavir” 预判后文研究的批判性立场。
      注意 “mean girls” 的文化内涵(指青春期通过排挤他人建立地位的群体,常见于英美校园文化)。
      2. 研究结论句(让步与对比逻辑)
      原句:
      Enviable as the cl kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies shw unpleasant cnsequences.
      结构与逻辑:
      让步状语从句:Enviable as...(正常语序为 As the cl kids may have seemed enviable),强调表面现象与实际结果的反差。
      主句:直接点明研究结论,建立 “看似令人羡慕→实则后果不良” 的逻辑框架。
      翻译:
      尽管那些 “酷孩子” 看起来令人羡慕,但普林斯坦博士的研究显示他们会带来不良后果。
      学术逻辑:
      通过对比 “enviable” 与 “unpleasant cnsequences”,凸显研究的实证价值(挑战大众认知)。
      提示后文将具体说明两类受欢迎度的差异及影响。
      3. 实验发现句(对比论证与因果关系)
      原句:
      We fund that the least well-liked teens had becme mre aggressive ver time tward their classmates. But s had thse wh were high in status. It clearly shwed that while likability can lead t healthy adjustment, high status has just the ppsite effect n us.
      结构与逻辑:
      宾语从句:the least well-liked 说明不受欢迎者的攻击性增强。
      省略倒装句:But s had thse...(完整形式为 But thse wh were high in status had als becme aggressive),通过对比指出地位高者同样具有攻击性。
      结论句:while effect 通过 while(对比)和 ppsite(对立)强化两类受欢迎度的不同影响。
      翻译:
      我们发现,最不受欢迎的青少年随着时间推移对同学变得更具攻击性。但那些地位高的人也是如此。这清楚表明,虽然讨人喜欢能带来健康的适应,但高地位对我们的影响恰恰相反。
      学术方法论:
      通过 “实验组(地位高者) vs. 对照组(不受欢迎者)” 的对比,验证假设并排除其他变量干扰。
      “healthy adjustment” 与 “ppsite effect” 的对立,呼应首段叙事中 “友善→适应良好” 与 “地位竞争→负面行为” 的逻辑。
      4. 递进结论句(学术研究的因果深化)
      原句:
      Nt nly is likability related t psitive life utcmes, but it is als respnsible fr thse utcmes, t.
      结构与逻辑:
      Nt als... 倒装结构(因 Nt nly 置于句首,主谓需部分倒装),强调因果关系的递进。
      术语辨析:
      related t(相关性):说明统计上的关联。
      respnsible fr(因果性):直接指出受欢迎度是积极结果的原因。
      翻译:
      受欢迎不仅与积极的人生结果相关,而且还促成这些结果。
      研究价值:
      突破 “相关性≠因果性” 的学术瓶颈,通过纵向追踪研究(lngitudinal study)证明 “早期讨人喜欢” 能直接塑造未来优势。
      呼应末段 “being liked creates pprtunities” 的具体例证,增强结论的可信度。
      1. 高频学术词汇(社会心理学核心术语)
      2. 熟词生义与短语突破
      tap(第三段):
      常见义:轻拍
      语境义:发掘、利用(如when tapped early意为 “若早早被发掘”)。
      jump-start(第二段):
      常见义:助推启动(汽车等)
      语境义:快速培养(如jump-start interpersnal skills指 “迅速提升人际交往能力”)。
      mean girls(首段):
      文化含义:指通过贬低他人、结成小团体建立地位的青春期女孩(源自电影《贱女孩》Mean Girls)。
      play date(第四段):
      常见义:儿童玩伴聚会
      语境义:象征童年友好互动的场景,与 “status brn f pwer” 形成对比。
      3. 构词法与派生词
      aggressive(adj.)→ aggressin(n. 攻击性):
      文中通过 “becme mre aggressive” 描述行为变化,需注意其名词形式在研究方法论中的应用(如测量攻击性水平)。
      ppularity(n. 受欢迎度)→ ppular(adj. 受欢迎的):
      研究将 “ppularity” 量化为可测量的指标(如学生调查得分),体现实证研究的严谨性。
      背景知识与研究方法论:
      1. 社会心理学理论基础
      两类受欢迎度模型:
      Likability(讨人喜欢型):
      核心特质:亲社会行为(prscial behavir),如分享、合作、同理心。
      长期影响:促进心理健康、社会适应及职业成功。
      Status(地位型):
      核心特质:支配力(dminance)、社交操纵(scial manipulatin),甚至通过违规行为获取地位。
      长期风险:增加攻击性、物质滥用及反社会行为的可能性。
      理论争议:
      传统观点认为 “受欢迎度” 是单一维度,而普林斯坦的研究将其解构为两类,为教育干预提供了新方向(如培养亲社会行为而非追求地位)6。
      2. 研究方法论解析
      样本与数据:
      235 名青少年:通过分层抽样(stratified sampling)覆盖不同性别、种族及社会经济背景,确保结果的普适性。
      学生调查(student surveys):采用同伴提名法(peer nminatin),让学生匿名评选 “最受欢迎”“最不受欢迎” 及 “地位最高” 的同学,量化受欢迎度指标。
      研究设计:
      纵向追踪(lngitudinal study):跟踪青少年从小学到高中的行为变化,验证早期受欢迎模式对成年后的影响。
      对照组设置:对比 “最不受欢迎者” 与 “地位最高者” 的行为轨迹,排除 “低自尊” 等干扰变量。
      学术价值:
      突破 “相关性研究” 的局限,通过因果推断(causal inference)证明 “likability” 的直接作用,为政策制定(如校园反欺凌项目)提供实证依据。
      3. 现实意义与教育启示
      对家长与教师的建议:
      避免过度强调 “成为焦点”,应注重培养孩子的亲社会特质(如分享、情绪管理)。
      警惕青春期 “地位竞争” 的负面影响,及时干预攻击性或违规行为。
      高考命题导向:
      呼应 “人与社会” 主题,通过科学研究传递 “品德培养优于短期成功” 的价值观,契合 “立德树人” 的教育目标。
      阅读微技能与解题策略:
      一、细节定位技巧(适用于 32、34 题)
      1. 关键词精准定位法
      操作步骤:
      题干提取核心定位词(如时间、人物、专有名词);快速扫读文本,锁定定位词原词或同义替换表达。
      例题应用(32 题):
      题干定位词:early years f elementary schl
      原文对应:首段 “During the rsy years f elementary schl, I enjyed sharing my dlls and jkes”
      关键信息:“sharing”(分享)对应选项 C “Generus”(慷慨的),通过同义替换锁定答案。
      2. 研究类文本定位逻辑
      针对科学研究类文章:
      定位 “研究对象”(如 “235 adlescents”)、“研究方法”(student surveys)、“研究结论”(find that...)。
      例题应用(34 题):
      题干定位词:mst liked kids
      原文对应:第四段 “while likability can lead t healthy adjustment”
      关键转换:“healthy adjustment”(健康适应)→ 选项 B “mre adaptable”(更具适应性),通过术语转化解题。
      二、段落主旨提炼技巧(适用于 33 题)
      1. 主题句快速捕捉法
      段落结构规律:
      学术类段落常以 “主题句 + 例证” 结构展开,主题句多位于段首或段尾。
      例题应用(33 题):
      第二段首句:“Mitch the ppular int tw categries: the likable and the status seekers.”
      核心信息:“tw categries” 直接指向选项 A “The classificatin f the ppular”(受欢迎者的分类),通过段首主题句快速锁定主旨。
      2. 高频词归纳法
      操作要点:
      统计段落中重复出现的名词、动词,归纳核心话题。
      段落分析(第二段):
      高频词:ppular, categries, likable, status seekers
      结论:围绕 “受欢迎度的分类” 展开,排除 B(青少年特征)、C(人际技能)等无关选项。
      三、全文主旨题解题策略(适用于 35 题)
      1. 首尾段 + 逻辑链串联法
      操作步骤:
      首段确定话题(受欢迎度的变化)—末段锁定结论(likability 带来积极结果)—串联全文逻辑:“现象→分类→研究→结论”。
      例题应用(35 题):
      首段:童年分享(友善)vs. 青春期地位竞争;
      末段:“likability is respnsible fr psitive utcmes”;
      最佳标题:A“Be Nice—Yu Wn’t Finish Last”(友善终有回报),契合 “友善型受欢迎>地位型” 的核心观点。
      2. 干扰项排除原则
      针对主旨题干扰项:
      范围过大 / 过小:如 B“The Higher the Status, the Better” 与原文 “地位高有负面效果” 矛盾;
      偏离主题:D “Self-Cntrl” 文中未提及,属于无关选项。
      四、长难句与逻辑信号词突破技巧
      1. 逻辑信号词定位法
      关键信号词分类:
      对比转折:but, while, hwever(如第四段 “while effect” 提示两类受欢迎度的对比);
      因果关系:lead t, be respnsible fr(末段 “likability is respnsible fr utcmes” 点明因果);
      递进关系:nt als...(末段结论句强化因果递进)。
      应用价值:
      通过信号词快速划分句子主次,优先理解核心观点(如 “ppsite effect” 提示地位型受欢迎的负面性)。
      2. 长难句分层拆解法
      针对复杂学术句:
      例:“Enviable as the cl kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies shw unpleasant cnsequences.”
      拆解步骤:
      识别让步结构(Enviable as...)→ 表面现象;聚焦主句(studies shw cnsequences)→ 研究结论;
      作用:快速跳过次要信息,抓住 “看似光鲜→后果不良” 的核心逻辑。
      五、学术类文本阅读框架法
      1. 研究类文章结构速记
      通用框架:
      现象引入(首段个人经历);理论分类(第二段两类受欢迎度);实验验证(第三、四段研究过程与数据);结论升华(末段因果关系总结)。
      应用技巧:
      阅读时用符号标注各部分(如 “现象△”“结论★”),快速定位答题区间。
      2. 术语与概念关联法
      针对文中核心概念:建立 “术语关联图”
      Likable → sharing, kindness → healthy adjustment → psitive utcmes
      Status seekers → dishnrable behavir → aggressive → risky behavir
      作用:通过概念关联,快速理解两类受欢迎度的对比关系,辅助推理题解答(如 34 题)。
      六、选项验证与排除技巧
      1. 原文依据比对法
      操作原则:
      所有选项必须能在文中找到直接依据,避免 “过度推断”。
      例题对比(34 题):
      正确选项 B “mre adaptable” 对应 “healthy adjustment”(原文明确提及);
      错误选项 C “Highest status” 属于 “地位型受欢迎者” 特征,与 “mst liked kids” 无关。
      2. 情感色彩匹配法
      适用于态度题、主旨题:
      文中 “psitive utcmes”“advantage” 等词传递积极情感,对应主旨题 A 选项 “Be Nice” 的正向导向,排除负面或无关选项(如 B、D)。
      通过以上技巧,可系统性提升科学类阅读的答题效率与准确率,尤其适用于 “现象 - 研究 - 结论” 型学术文本的解读。
      综合实战演练
      Passage 1
      (2025·重庆·三模)When 15-year-ld Priya Jshi visited her grandparents’ pr Indian village, she was shcked t see students struggling t study under di m kersene lamps (煤油灯), which created dangerus indr air pllutin and prvided nly1% f mdern LED’s brightness. “The smke hurt their eyes and the unstable light caused headaches,” recalls Priya, nw an engineering student at MIT. This trubling bservatin inspired her t create a slutin.
      Cnsidering all kinds f specific prblems in the lcal area, Priya spent mnths explring the best way t deliver lighting slutins t students. Priya began experimenting with slar-pwered study lamps. Her breakthrugh came when she repurpsed ld schl ntebks by embedding flexible slar panels int their cvers. This dual-functin design increased light utput by 15 times cmpared t kersene lamps while reducing carbn emissins by 2k g per unit annually. “It charges in sunlight during the day and prvides reading light at night,” she explains.
      Her prject’s true creativity lay in its sustainable distributin mdel. Priya partnered with lcal wmen’s cperatives t manufacture the ntebks, creating valuable emplyment pprtunities. Meanwhile, students culd earn ntebks by cllecting recyclable materials frm their cmmunities. The results were transfrmative. “We’ve seen a30% imprvement in schl attendance since students culd study after sunset,” reprted teacher Anika Patel.
      Frm its beginnings as a simple science prject, Priya’s inventin nw brightens the lives f ver 10,000 families acrss 42 villages. An unexpected benefit emerged when village elders began using the ntebks t recrd traditinal flk tales and recipes that had previusly nly been passed dwn rally, helping preserve valuable cultural heritage.
      Recently, Priya has adapted her design in cllabratin with UNICEF t help refugee children. Field tests in three refugee (难民) camps shwed the mdified versin reduced study interruptins by 65% cmpared t previus lighting Slutins. “The same technlgy that assists rural students is nw supprting thse displaced by cnflict,” she ntes.
      1.What directly inspired Priya’s inventin?
      A.The health and study challenges she bserved.
      B.A university research prject n rural educatin.
      C.Her participatin in a schl science cmpetitin.

      (24-25高一下·河北·期末)An AI enabling rbts t d chres like making the bed r cleaning the flr in hmes it has never seen befre culd allw many mre rbts t becme generally useful, its creatrs say.
      Large language mdels (LLMs) that pwer tls like ChatGPT have imprved rbts’ ability t carry ut spken requests. Hwever, mst rbts wrk well nly in envirnments in which they have been trained.
      Nw, Sergey Levine at rbtics cmpany Physical Intelligence in San Francisc and his clleagues have develped an artificial intelligence mdel called x.5 that allws rbts t wrk in real hmes that they have never seen befre. The mdel is trained using data frm an unusually wide range f surces, including many different kinds f rbts wrking in lab and hme settings, as well as plentiful data frm the web, such as image and bject databases.
      When Levine and his team tested the AI mdel n rbts they had built using ff-the-shelf parts, 97 percent f the training data came frm surces ther than the rbt itself. “Because π0.5 can take full advantage f ther data surces, frm the web and ther kinds f rbts, then it can have this brader generalisatin,” says Levine.
      The team tested hw well the rbts perfrmed when instructed t d chres such as putting plates in the sink, putting shpping away in drawers and placing dirty clthes in a basket. They didn’t wrk perfectly every time. “When it cmes t the practical utility f this mdel, it’s definitely nt there yet, in the sense that this is nt a hme rbt that smebdy culd buy and put in their hme,” says Levine. But he als says that the rbts’ perfrmance appears t imprve in a predictable way as they are tested in increasing numbers f hmes. This trend (趋势) is similar t hw language AI perfrmance was fund t predictably imprve as mre data was added.
      “The vides they shw are quite impressive,” says Pedr Lima at the University f Lisbn in Prtugal. Hwever, the rbts perfrm their tasks at least five times slwer than a human, smetimes taking 10 t 15 minutes t finish, which culd be difficult t imprve, he says.

      Passage 3
      (24-25高二下·福建三明·阶段练习)A jint research team recently have develped a new electrnic skin that is similar t human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity. The skin r e-skin may play an imprtant rle in next-generatin persnalized medicine, sft rbtics and artificial intelligence.
      “The ideal e-skin will mimic (模仿) the many natural functins f human skin, such as sensing temperature and tuch, accurately and in real time,” says leading researcher Yichen Cai. Hwever, making suitably flexible electrnics that can perfrm such delicate tasks while als used repeatedly is challenging, and each material invlved must be carefully engineered.
      Mst e-skins are made by putting an active sensr n the surface that attaches t human skin. Hwever, the cnnectin between them is ften t weak, which reduces the durability and sensitivity f the material; therwise, if it is t strng, it wn’t be flexible enugh, making it mre likely t break the circuit.
      “The landscape f skin electrnics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace,” says Cai. “The discvery f 2D sensrs has accelerated effrts t turn these quite thin but strng materials int functinal, durable artificial skins.”
      The new man-made skin built by the researchers culd sense bjects frm 20 centimeters away. It culd further make a quick respnse when tuched in less than ne tenth f a secnd. “It is a striking achievement fr an e-skin t maintain tughness after repeated use,” said Shen, “which mimics the sftness and rapid recvery f human skin.”
      This type f e-skin culd mnitr a range f bilgical infrmatin, such as changes in bld pressure, which can be detected frm mvements f arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stred n the clud via Wi-Fi.
      “One remaining prblem t the widespread use f e-skins lies in mass prductin f high-reslutin sensrs,” adds grup leader Vincent Tung, “hwever, the latest technlgy ffers new prmise.”
      1.What’s the feature f the new e-skin?
      A.It’s flexible and sensitive.B.It is almst the same as human skin.
      C.It has fragile electrnics.D.It has prved imprtant in areas like AI.
      2.What can the new e-skin d?
      A.It can rapidly react t tuches.
      B.It can change human’s bld pressure.
      C.It can heal the wunded skin quickly.
      D.It can adjust human’s temperature.
      3.What des the underlined wrd “striking” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
      A.Bitter .B.Physical.C.Influential.D.Mderate.

      (24-25高二下·四川成都·期末)A typical large tree can suck up t 40 kilgrams f CO2 ut f the air ver the curse f a year. Nw scientists at UC Berkeley say they can d the same jb with less than half a pund f a yellw pwder called COF-999. COF-999 was designed t trap the greenhuse gas, and then release it when it’s ready t be stred away smeplace.
      COF-999 culd be used in the kinds f large-scale direct air-capture plants that are starting t cme nline t reduce the amunt f CO2. Keeping the cncentratin f atmspheric CO2 belw 450 parts per millin (ppm) is necessary t limit glbal warming t 2℃ abve preindustrial levels and prevent sme f the mst awful cnsequences f climate change, scientists say. Klaus Lackner, a scientist at Arizna State University wh wasn’t invlved in the study, agreed that direct air capture will becme an imprtant tl fr sequestering carbn (碳封存) and cling the planet.
      T test the carbn-clearing capability f COF-999, the researchers packed it int a tube and expsed it t utdr air in Berkeley fr 20 days straight. As the air entered the tube, it cntained CO2 in cncentratins ranging frm 410 ppm t 517 ppm. When it came ut the ther side, n CO2 was detected.
      Accrding t its creatrs, its prus (多孔的) design increases its surface area, which means mre places t hld nt CO2 mlecules. As a result, it captures CO2 at a rate that is at least 10 times faster than ther materials used fr direct air capture. Team members have cntinued t make imprvements and are n track t duble its capacity within the next year. Anther plus is that COF-999 will lsen its hld n the CO2 when heated t abut 60℃. Similar materials must be heated t 121℃ t extract carbn. COF-999 is mre durable as well. The team had tested a newer versin that wrked fr 300 cycles befre the experiment came t an end. “Achieving 300 cycles withut any deteriratin (退化) suggests that thusands f cycles may be pssible,” said Omar Yaghi, the study’s senir authr.
      1.What is Klaus Lackner’s attitude tward direct air capture technlgy?

      (24-25高二下·江苏盐城·期末)Mariangela Hungria, a micrbilgist in Brazil, spent decades lking fr bacteria (细菌) in the sil that culd act like fertilizer (肥料), bsting farmers' harvests. But she faced a lt f skepticism. When she started her career, everybdy was like, “She is crazy! She will never succeed. ” But tday, her wrk was rewarded with the Wrld Fd Prize, which recgnizes advances in agriculture.
      Hungria's lve f science was lit in childhd thanks t her grandmther, wh taught her abut backyard plants and the sil that fed them. “One day, she gave me a bk. It was abut the life f micrbilgists. After reading it, I annunced t my family that I wuld becme a micrbilgist, ” Hungria recalls. Later, she gt her Ph. D.frm the Federal Rural University and went t wrk fr the Brazilian Agricultural Research Crpratin (Embrapa) in 1982. She fllwed in the ftsteps f anther pineer f Brazilian science, Jhanna Döbereiner, wh had begun hunting fr bacteria that culd bst the prductivity f crps.
      Hungria's bilgical seed and sil treatments enable wheat, crn and ther majr crps, including sybeans — Brazil's tp agricultural exprt — t surce nutrients thrugh sil bacteria, significantly bsting crp yields (产量), reducing the need fr chemical fertilizers as well as lwering greenhuse gas emissins (排放). Over Hungria's 40-year career with Embrapa, Brazil's sybean prductin has increased frm 15 millin tns in 1979 t an anticipated 173millin tns in the cming harvest, the Wrld Fd Prize Fundatin said.
      Hungria said, “I always believe that it is pssible t achieve high yields necessary t relieve wrld hunger, but in a sustainable way, preserving the planet. ” She wants t see wmen taking a bigger rle. “Wmen are mre likely t shift the fcus f farming tward envirnmental sustainability. Caring fr land that's already been claimed rather than trying t clear mre. Fcusing nt nly n the size f the harvest but als n which crps deliver better nutritin”, says she. And Hungria adds she'll use the cash she has wn t fund a new award that will recgnize wmen wh are wrking in agriculture, micrbilgy, cmmunicatins r fr the benefit f peple with special needs.

Hundreds f tns f industrial and cnsumer plymer (聚合物) waste cntinue t get 3 int landfills daily. Hwever, if 29-year-ld Nzambi Matee has her way, the unpleasant plastic 4 will sn be transfrmed int clurful bricks.
