Standing in my ffice 25 years ag was a yung astrnmer. She had an incredible request that my team revise ur sftware t d smething beynd ur design, and risk breaking it. All t carry ut a seemingly impssible experiment — t prve that a massive black hle existed in ur Milky Way. My initial “n way” gradually gave way in the face f her cheerful but unshakable determinatin. It was my first encunter with Andrea Ghez, ne f the winners f Nbel Prize in Physics 2020.
Fr 25 years Andrea has been searching fr evidence f a black hle at the heart f ur galaxy. But the wrk has been defined by technlgy. Scientific equipment was never designed t meet Andrea's need — analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was nt t give in and ur team just made the changes. And it wrked! It was extremely hard and time-cnsuming, but Andrea persisted. Out f that effrt came the first evidence f stars rbiting a black hle.
Andrea is fnd f wing her success t the interactin between astrnmers and engineers respnding t the challenge. Science questins generate new technlgy and new technlgy generates new science. Andrea has always pineered in this virtuus cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre t prmte research and technical develpments.
Tday, Andrea received the highest scientific recgnitin. But as she wuld be the very first t knwledge, this success represents the cmbined effrts f s many. Frm the theretical predictin Albert Einstein, thrugh the amazing telescpes and bservatry lcatins, t the technical wrkers it is the prduct f thusands.
But in my eyes, it was just ne persn that had the persistence and fcus t make the idea happen that persn is my friend and lngtime clleague the ne wh refused t take "n" fr an answer Andrea Ghez.

C. T cnduct an astrnmy research.D. T prmte a high-tech prduct.
25. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in?
A. Carrying ut uter space experiment.B. Develping superspeed equipment.
C. Lking fr evidence f a black hle.D. Searching fr new stars in the galaxy.
26. Which f the fllwing best describes Andrea Ghezi?
A. Pineering and appreciative.B. Artistic and reserved.

It’s knwn that reading is gd fr a child’s vcabulary and literacy skills, teaching them math r science cncepts and helping them learn histry. Apart frm thse, reading has anther benefit. Have yu read a stry and felt tears well up because f a character’s suffering? If s, that is because yu have empathy (共鸣) fr the character — and empathy can be learned thrugh varius fictins. “It’s a magic eye that sees int ther peple’s hearts,” explains authr Cressida Cwell.
Research shws that human brains react differently t stries and facts. “Many mre areas f yur brain light up when yu’re enjying a stry,” explains Miranda McKearney frm EmpathyLab, an rganizatin that builds empathy thrugh reading. “Yur brain thinks yu are in the stry… This means yu experience the characters’ thughts as if they are real.”
Empathy helps yu t read peple’s emtins and wrk ut the best way t respnd. This skill, called emtinal intelligence, can make it easier t cmmunicate and cnnect with peple. Research has shwn that building empathy can lead t greater kindness and tlerance. One study fund that children wh read the Harry Ptter nvels — which tell stries abut humans fighting against the evil — were less likely t behave unfairly twards pwerless grups including refugees (难民).
This thery has been put int practice by St Michael’s Primary Schl. After reading The By at the Back f the Class — a stry abut a by wh is a refugee escaping frm the war — students in that schl were inspired t d a 10-mile walk fr the nn-prfit rganizatin Refugee Actin. Their empathy als spurred them t raise £1,000 fr peple wh were frced t leave their hmes because f war.
Reading encurages children t empathise with thers, which culd ptentially lead t several beneficial learning utcmes, new research suggests. Fr sciety t develp, creative, cmmunicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
28. Why d readers cry abut a character’s experience?
A. They have magic eyes.B. They want t shw empathy.
C. They understand his feelingsD. They have the same experience.
29. What des the authr shw by referring t the Harry Ptter nvels?
A. The prcess f building empathy.
B. The benefits f develping empathy.
C. The definitin f emtinal intelligence.
D. The results f the schl’s activity.
30. What des the underlined wrd “spurred” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Reminded.B. Permitted.C. Persuaded.D. Encuraged.
31. What might the authr advise children t d?
A. Read t learn empathy.
B. Becme empathetic t thers.
C. Put themselves in thers’ shes.
D. Read as many bks as pssible.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明阅读可以帮助孩子培养同理心，这对于儿童发展有很多好处。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Have yu read a stry and felt tears well up because f a character’s suffering? If s, that is because yu have empathy (共鸣) fr the character — and empathy can be learned thrugh varius fictins. (你是否读过一个故事，因为一个角色的痛苦而热泪盈眶？如果是这样，那是因为你对角色有同理心——同理心可以通过各种小说来学到)”可知，读者因为角色的经历而流泪是因为他们对他有同理心，能理解角色的感受。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research has shwn that building empathy can lead t greater kindness and tlerance. One study fund that children wh read the Harry Ptter nvels — which tell stries abut humans fighting against the evil — were less likely t behave unfairly twards pwerless grups including refugees (难民). (研究表明，建立同理心可以带来更大的善良和宽容。一项研究发现，读过《哈利波特》小说的孩子不太可能对包括难民在内的弱势群体做出不公平的行为，小说讲述了人类与邪恶作斗争的故事)”可知，此处在讨论建立同理心的好处，因此提到《哈利波特》小说是以阅读过它的孩子们的实例来佐证这些好处。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“After reading The By at the Back f the Class — a stry abut a by wh is a refugee escaping frm the war — students in that schl were inspired t d a 10-mile walk fr the nn-prfit rganizatin Refugee Actin. (在读完《坐在教室最后一排的男孩》——一个关于逃离战争的男孩的故事后，学校的学生受到激励，为非营利组织“难民行动”进行了10英里的步行活动)”可知，此处讲述阅读《坐在教室最后一排的男孩》对学生们激励作用起到的积极效果，再结合下文“t raise £1,000 fr peple wh were frced t leave their hmes because f war (为那些因战争而被迫离开家园的人们筹集1000英镑)”可推知，学生们筹集善款也是因为被这本书激励了，spurred意思应该与上文的inspired呼应，是“激励”的意思，与选项中的encuraged意思一致。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reading encurages children t empathise with thers, which culd ptentially lead t several beneficial learning utcmes, new research suggests. Fr sciety t develp, creative, cmmunicative and empathetic individuals really matter. (新的研究表明，阅读可以鼓励孩子们同情他人，这可能会带来一些有益的学习成果。对于社会的发展来说，有创造力、善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要)”可知，阅读有益于孩子们培养同理心，促进他们个人的发展，从而促进社会的发展。由此推知，作者会建议孩子们通过阅读来培养同理心。故选A项。

Since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed in 1973, it has helped hundreds f species avid extinctin in the United States. The strng cnservatin plicy has been used as a mdel in ther cuntries. But it’s nt as successful as it culd be, a new study finds.
Researchers have discvered mst species are nt being prtected until their numbers have becme s lw that their chance f recvery is slim.
“The ESA is an incredibly pwerful, ambitius law fr prtecting ur endangered wildlife. Yet, fr decades, the agency primarily respnsible fr perating the ESA — the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) — has been starved f resurces,” lead authr Erich Eberhard says.
“As a result, we are very slw t give species the prtectin that they deserve. We typically wait until species are extremely rare and thus at extreme risk f extinctin, and then, when a species is finally listed, the USFWS is straining its resurces t try t recver it.”
In 1993, a study fund that few species received prtectin under the ESA until their ppulatins became very small. Fr the new study, researchers repeated the methds used in the earlier research t see whether prtectins have becme better since the prblem was first nted. They als lked at trends in “wait times” — the amunt f time between when a species is identified as ptentially needing prtectin and when it actually receives prtectin under the ESA.
“Our analysis suggests that, in the nearly 30 years since attentin was first brught t this prblem, we have nt becme mre active in prtecting endangered species,” says Eberhard.
The researchers fund that the ppulatin sizes f species when they first became prtected under the ESA are nt statistically different frm thse in the 1993 study. They als discvered that there are lng wait times between when a species is identified as likely needing prtectin and when they actually receive them.
“I can say that ur study paints the current state f the ESA as a bit f cautinary (告诫的) tale fr the strng cnservatin plicy,” says Eberhard.
32. What prblem des the USFWS have prtecting endangered species?
A. It takes ineffective measures.B. It is lacking in resurces.
C. It can’t get timely infrmatin.D. It is an irrespnsible rganizatin.
33. What is the purpse f the new study?
A. T try ut new ways t prtect endangered species.
B. T find ut the exact number f endangered species.
C. T check the time needed t save endangered species.
D. T see if endangered species have been better prtected.
34. Hw can the study help with animal cnservatin?
A. It fund ut many mre endangered species.
B. It pinted ut the directin fr the USFWS t act n.
C. It prved the rle f the public in cnservatin.
D. It shwed sme effective ways t prtect animals.
35. Which f the fllwing culd be the best title fr the text?
A. The USFWS Needs Strnger Laws
B. The ESA Has Achieved Great Success
C. New Cnversatin Laws Are n the Way
D. Endangered Species Act Isn’t Wrking Well
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现《濒危物种法》效果不佳的表现。
