Yasmin Alkashef grew up in Egypt learning English and Arabic. Frm a very yung age, she knew she lved languages. In the furth grade, she began learning French. Her lve fr languages cntinued int high schl, where she began training t be a translatr. Nw she interprets and translates fr peple prfessinally.
Alkashef has been a translatr fr 20 years. She’s a member f the American Translatrs Assciatin bard f directrs and a certified Arabic-English translatr, a certified curt interpreter, and a cnference interpreter. Thugh the jbs have similarities, translatrs wrk with written material while interpreters wrk with spken language. Cnfidence is crucial t bth jbs.
Mst interpreters and translatrs are freelancers (自由职业者), which means they’re nt emplyed as staff fr an rganizatin r a cmpany. Being a freelancer means ding a variety f wrk fr a variety f clients. Alkashef enjys this aspect f her jb. “It’s always fun, because every week is different, and the tpics are always different,” she says. “One day, yu are translating a dcument abut clean water, and the next day, yu are in curt, interpreting a case. The fllwing day, yu’re at a cnference abut internatinal peace. Yu learn a lt, because yu get t get in tuch with s many different peple.”
Alkashef has interpreted at curt cases and film festivals, and at plitical events with peple such as presidents and kings. The wrk can be exciting and attractive, but als challenging and sad.
“Interpreters speak in the first persn,” Alkashef says. “When they say smething sad r painful, their subcnscius des nt understand that it is smebdy else’s stry. S interpreters cme hme with this burden, and they have t d self-care t take care f their mental health.”
Alkashef is mst grateful that thrugh her wrk, she’s able t help thers. “It’s mre than just the wrds. The interpreter brings an understanding f the cultures, f histry, and f a lt f things,” she says. Her wrk has enriched her life in many ways, and she tries t impart what she learns t thse arund her.
4. What distinguishes translatrs frm interpreters accrding t the text?
A. Their wage level.B. Their wrking time.
C. The client type they serve.D. The medium they use.
5. Why des Alkashef enjy being a freelancer?
A. Because f diverse tasks.
B. Because f stable incme.
C. Because f predictable rutine.
D. Because f fewer respnsibilities.

It is widely thught that ur galaxy, the Milky Way, is certain t cllide (碰撞) with the neighbring Andrmeda galaxy smetime arund 5 billin years frm nw. But accrding t new research, maybe we shuldn’t cunt n this multigalactic cllisin happening as previusly expected.
In a study published recently in Nature Astrnmy, researchers wh analyzed data frm the Eurpean Space Agency’s space telescpe and NASA’s telescpe say the event is mre f a cin flip than a given: The team suggests there’s just abut a 50-50 chance f the tw galaxies clliding within the next 10 billin years r s. When yu lk at the next 4 — 5 billin years, that chance drps dwn t arund 2%.
In ther space news, scientists are discussing abut a star that is small in mass but huge in energy. TOI-6894 is a red dwarf (红矮星) that is rughly 20% as massive as ur sun. But in anther study published in Nature Astrnmy, researchers say they’ve sptted a giant planet rbiting the little star. The planet, called TOI-6894b, is described as a lw-density gas giant. Astrnmers say the presence f a gas giant that surrunds such a small star is s surprising that it challenges the mst widely accepted thery f planet frmatin.
The thery, called cre accretin (积聚), suggests that giant planets are brn when their slid cres get massive enugh t start pulling in lts f gas. Smaller stars generally lack enugh gas and dust t allw fr such a prcess, but this red dwarf ended up with a gas giant ging arund it anyhw. Because red dwarf stars are super cmmn in ur galaxy, this culd mean gas giants are mre plentiful than we thught.
The researchers will use the James Webb Space Telescpe t study the planet’s atmsphere, which shuld prvide mre clues abut its frmatin.
8. Hw des the authr begin paragraph 1?
A. By cmparing the data.
B. By quting frm dcuments.
C. By cncluding frm sme previus research.
D. By mentining a cmmn astrnmical belief.
9. What des the underlined part “a cin flip” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. A given chance.B. An uncertain situatin.
C. A cnstant rule.D. An apparent chice.
10. What d we knw abut TOI-6894?
A. There is little energy in it.B. It is rbiting TOI-6894b.
C. It is twice as massive as the sun.D. There is a huge planet arund it.
11. What can we infer frm paragraph 4?
A. There may exist mre huge gas planets in space.B. Smaller stars d nt frm satellites.
C. Red dwarfs are rare in the universe.D. Gas giants require n slid cres.

Researchers frm Nrthwestern University and the Chicag Btanic Garden will study the carbn capture (碳捕获) effects f sil additives n agricultural fields.
Fr the wrld t meet the glbal average temperature gals set frth in the 2015 Paris Agreement, we need t actively decrease carbn emissins (排放). Earth and planetary sciences prfessr Andy Jacbsn suggests Earth science can help it and that ne pssible way is t capture atmspheric carbn dixide (CO2) and lck it away fr a few thusand years.
The chemical weathering (风化) f rcks is a natural phenmenn that transfrms atmspheric CO2 int a stable mineral frm. When CO2 disslves in water, it creates a substance that can break dwn rcks. This transfrmatin releases elements frm certain rcks and changes CO2 int a stable frm. Over time, these elements cmbine t frm minerals that are the building blcks f many natural structures and rcks. This transfrmatin helps t lck carbn in a slid frm, which plays an imprtant part in stabilizing Earth’s climate ver the lng term.
“Over much shrter human timescales, this stable frm f CO2 acts as a sink fr atmspheric CO2,”says Jacbsn. Can we speed up the weathering prcess and actively remve carbn frm the atmsphere at rates fast enugh t help reduce the impact f mdern climate change?
Enhanced rck weathering was prpsed as a strategy f decreasing carbn emissins decades ag but nly recently gained interest. An article in a 2020 magazine estimated that enhanced weathering culd remve up t 2 billin tns f CO2 annually frm the atmsphere by 2050.
Jacbsn is leading a team f researchers t investigate this negative emissins technlgy. In a series f experimental systems that simulate natural cnditins at the garden, researchers will test the effects frm adding different types f rck t sils used t grw varius crps. The sil additives will include a vlcanic rck that chemically weathers faster than ther rcks and minerals, ptentially speeding up CO2 capture and strage.
12. What des Jacbsn stress abut Earth science in paragraph 2?
A. Its scientific rigin as a principle.
B. Its present limitatins in carbn capture.
C. Its ptential rle in achieving climate gals.
D. Its lgical accuracy in temperature predictin.
13. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 3 cncerning rcks?
A. The prcess f their weathering.
B. The reasns fr their frmatin.
C. Their natural structures.
D. Their stable chemical cmpsitin.
14. What is the main functin f the questin in paragraph 4?
A. T summarize the previus paragraph.
B. T dubt the cntent f a magazine.
C. T intrduce the fllwing slutin.
D. T shw the fast rate f climate change.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Can Humans Stabilize Earth’s Climate?
B. Is Farming the Key t Carbn Capture?
C. What Is the Chemical Weathering f Rcks?
D. Hw D Carbn Emissins Speed up Glbal Warming?

My Little Farm Prject
My lve fr planting started with a schl prject. We were tasked with grwing a plant at hme. I chse garlic (大蒜) because it seemed easy. I fund a head f garlic in the kitchen, and my mm shwed me hw t separate it. I planted a few f the small sectins in a pt and placed it by the windw where it culd get plenty f sunlight. Watering it daily became my new rutine. One day, t my surprise, green shts appeared! Watching them grw, I felt a sense f excitement. When I finally harvested a perfect bulb f garlic, I was incredibly prud. That small success “planted” a big idea in my mind. “Since we live n a farm, why nt grw mre fr family fd?” I thught.
I first talked abut my idea t my dad, wh was busy n the farm. He thught fr a mment and then pinted t a sunny spt. “Yu can use that area,” he said. “But it’s hard wrk.” My mm was supprtive t. The next day, she drve me t the lcal garden stre. We bught packets f carrt seeds. As we left, she picked up a few discarded (丢弃的) garlic sectins n the grund. “N waste n a farm!” she said. I als tld my best friend, Le, abut my plan. Since his family had a small garden, he ffered t help me that weekend. When Le arrived, we saw my mm casually thrw thse garlic pieces nt the freshly turned sil f ur new garden bed.
We started by clearing the plt f weeds and rcks. The sun was ht, and the wrk was tugh. Seeing us struggling, my dad brught ver a machine t lsen the sil. My mm brught us cl drinks. With their help, we sn had a neat garden bed. We carefully planted the seeds in straight rws, just like the instructins n the packets said. I watered the sil gently. Every day after that, I wuld check the plt, hping fr the first sign f life.
