Funded by the USDA Natinal Institute f Fd and Agriculture’s Agriculture and Fd Research Initiative (AFRI), a three-year, nearly $1 millin Washingtn State University-led prject explres and supprts expanded testing fr diseases that damage ptat crps, with a brader gal f guarding the U.S. fd supply frm bilgical threats.
Farmers wh grw ptates must test t ensure their crps are free f viruses and ther pathgens (致病菌). Unchecked, viral, bacterial, and fungal (真菌的) diseases cause crp damage and great financial and fd lsses. “We need t detect pathgens early, accurately, and quickly t avid large crp lsses, helping fewer peple arund the wrld g hungry,” said Chakradhar Mattupalli, an assistant prfessr f plant pathlgy at the WSU Munt Vernn Nrthwestern Washingtn Research and Extensin Center.
A test recently develped by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) allws grwers t take samples f their crp, send the DNA and RNA t labs, and get results in arund tw weeks as t whether their ptates are infected with a virus.
Hwever, the ptat industry still lacks a way t test fr many pathgens n a natinwide scale, Mattupalli said. T address this challenge, Mattupalli and his clleagues’ prject has three primary bjectives: (1) Develp a testing lab t check large vlumes f ptat samples fr viruses. (2) Investigate if the testing prtcl (科学实验计划) fr viruses in ptates can be expanded t detect fungal r bacterial pathgens. (3) Create training pprtunities fr students and field persnnel n hw t prperly cllect samples frm plants and hw t ship them t the lab fr testing.
“It’s a huge advantage when yu dn’t have t ship ptates t testing lcatins and wait s lng t get results,” Mattupalli said. “It tk many years t develp this pathgen detectin prtcl, s nw we want t expand this testing ability t make sure all ptat grwers benefit.”
8. Why was the prject started?
A. T prevent diseases in ptat crps.B. T find new types f fungal diseases.
C. T increase prductin f each ptat crp.D. T avid diseases threatening human health.
9. What des the authr want t shw in Paragraph 2?
A. Farmers want their crps t be tested.B. Fewer peple wrldwide will g hungry.
C. Aviding large ptat lsses is imprtant.D. Detecting pathgens early is challenging.
10. What are Mattupalli and his clleagues wrking hard at?
A. Educating farmers n crp diseases.B. Imprving and prmting their test.
C. Making great prfits frm their test.D. Receiving mre training themselves.
11. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Increasing Prductin f PtatesB. Attempting t Prevent Wrld Hunger
C. Reducing Bilgical Threats in CrpsD. Testing Ptat Crps t Detect Diseases Early
Starting in the mid-2010s, the success f streaming services like Sptify, Tencent and Apple Music led the music industry int a perid f steady incme grwth. But the rise f streaming hasn’t just transfrmed the business f music; it has changed the music as well.
In 1972, the Temptatins hit number ne n the Billbard Ht 100 charts, winning three Grammys, with a seven-minute versin f the sng “Papa Was a Rllin’ Stne”. Befre the Temptatins sing a wrd, an instrumental intrductin plays fr mre than fur minutes. If the grup were in the studi tday, the title chrus (副歌) wuld mst likely have been featured much earlier in the sng. That’s because music streaming services pay artists based n the number f plays each mnth, and t cunt as a play, a user must listen t the sng past the 30-secnd mark. If a sng yu’ve never heard befre takes a lng time t get t the hk (旋律最好的部分), there is a gd chance that yu may simply hit the buttn t g t the next sng. T keep the “skip rate (跳过率)” as lw as pssible, musical artists are increasingly mving a sng’s hk t that initial 30-secnd sweet spt.
Every track that is listened t fr mre than 30 secnds cunts as a play but whether a listener makes it all the way thrugh a sng helps t determine whether a streaming service like Sptify will recmmend similar sngs in the future. Fr a musician, getting a sng n Sptify’s ppular Tday’s Tp Hits playlist means real mney. A study by researchers at the University f Minnesta and the Eurpean Jint Research Centre fund that sngs n the list gained an average f 20 millin streams, wrth up t $163,000 in ryalties (版税).
As a result, accrding t an analysis by blgger Michael Tauberg, the average length f hit sngs has drpped by mre than 30 secnds since 2000, when it was ver fur minutes. Nearly tw-thirds f the sngs that achieved the number ne spt in the first half f 2021 were under three minutes lng.
12. Why is the Temptatins mentined in paragraph 2?
A. T explain what made a sng special in the past.
B. T shw admiratin fr their musical achievements.
C. T illustrate the structure f ppular sngs in the past.
D. T intrduce the changes in sng structure brught abut by streaming.
13. What is the result f a sng taking a lng time t get t the hk?
A. The artists will receive higher ryalties.
B. The listeners are mre likely t skip it.
C. It will be recmmended t mre users.
D. It will be mre ppular amng listeners.
14. What cntributes t the decreasing average length f hit sngs?
A. Advance in music prductin technlgy.
B. The change in listeners’ musical preference.
C The desire fr higher streaming-based incme.
D. Increased cmpetitin amng streaming platfrms.
15. What des the text mainly talk abut?
A. Hw streaming changes the length f music.
B. Hw streaming services prduce hit sngs.
C. Hw streaming prmtes the develpment f music.
D. Hw streaming influences ur preference fr music.

Mia’s heart leaped int her thrat. The eagle was staring intently at the nest, its sharp claws tightening n the branch. Realizing the mther squirrel hadn’t returned, Mia knew she must prtect the babies. Withut hesitatin, Mia began kncking ludly n the windw. The sudden nise startled the eagle, making it hesitate. It stpped its attack and cast a sharp glance tward Mia behind the glass. Suddenly, she sptted her sn’s bright red ski jacket n the sfa and quickly waved it behind the glass. The mving red clr created cnfusing shadws arund the nest. After what felt like an eternity, the eagle finally spread its wings and flew away.
Watching the eagle disappear int the distance, Mia breathed a sigh f relief. Just then, the mther squirrel returned with nuts in her muth. She apprached cautiusly, cnstantly checking the sky fr danger. The tiny squirrels mved excitedly and rubbed against their mther fr fd. A prfund sense f warmth and fulfillment washed ver Mia as she witnessed this intimate reunin.
