Mapping ut the future
Last summer, my parents and I tk a drive t anther state. Befre we started n ur rad trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we als had ur GPS packed. A few hurs int the trip, we tk a wrng turn. But ur trusty GPS pulled up a map f that area and gt us back r track in n time. It made me wnder: Wh creates maps in the first place? After sme searching nline I learned that the peple wh map ut rads, muntains, ceans and ther places arund the wrld are called cartgraphers (制图师). I did sme reading abut the career. Here’s what I fund:
What des a cartgrapher d?
Cartgraphers, als called mapmakers, study and interpret (诠释) gegraphic infrmatin. They use this infrmatin t make detailed maps f places arund the wrld. Sme f these maps are digital (数字的). They are ften used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in bks. T d their wrk, cartgraphers put tgether infrmatin frm many different places. They als use grund surveys. Sme d grund surveys themselves. Mst cartgraphers, hwever, depend n surveyrs (测绘员) fr this imprtant infrmatin. Surveyrs cllect infrmatin fr mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.
What des it take t be a cartgrapher?
Mst cartgraphers have a bachelr (学士) degree. The degree might be in cartgraphy (制图学), gegraphy, r smething similar. Students wh are interested in becming cartgraphers shuld learn as much as they can abut gegraphy. It als helps t take curses in maths and cmputer science.
With the rise f cmputer-based tls such as GPS systems, cartgraphers need strnger cmputer skills than they did in the past.
Hw much d cartgraphers make?
The average (平均) yearly salary (薪水) fr cartgraphers is $54, 000. The lwest 10 percent earns (挣钱) less than $32, 000. The tp 10 percent earns mre than $92, 000.
________
In the U. S., jb pprtunities (机会) fr cartgraphers are expected t grw. This is because f the increasing use f maps in the army. Als, digital maps have increasingly becme a main part f many GPS systems and Web sites.
Based n what I’ve read abut cartgraphers, I’d say that their wrk is very imprtant t a lt f peple. Next time a map keeps me frm getting lst, I’ll be sure t thank a cartgrapher!

（2023·江苏南通·模拟预测）As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbks and ntebks. “Over and ver and ver again,” recalls this psychlgist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Nw, she adds, “This is a very cmmn bad study habit. Actually, that’s ne f the mst cmmn bad study skills that students have.”
In ne 2021 research study, sme cllege students read a text twice. Others read a text just nce. Bth grups tk a test right after the reading. Test results differed little between these grups, researchers fund.
T ften, when students reread material, it’s superficial. Rereading is like lking at the answer t a puzzle (谜语), rather than ding it yurself. It lks like it makes sense. But until yu try it yurself, yu dn’t really knw if yu understand it.
In ne 2022 study, a grup f students were asked t reread material t tw ther grups. One grup wrte questins abut the material. The ther grup answered questins frm smene else. Later, all the grups tk a test n the material. The results shwed that thse wh answered the questins did best; thse wh just reread the material did wrst.
That 2022 study backs up ne f Nebel’s preferred study habits. Befre big tests, her mm quizzed (测试) her n the material. “Nw I knw that was retrieval practice (回溯练习),” she says. “It’s ne f the best ways yu can study.” As Nebel gt lder, she quizzed herself. Fr example, she might cver up the definitins (定义) in her ntebk. Then she tried t recall what each term meant.
“Make a deck f flash cards every time yu learn new infrmatin,” Nebel suggests. “Put questins n ne side and the answers n the ther side.” Friends can even quiz each ther n the phne, she says.
But really grill (追问) yurself and yur friends, she adds. And here’s why. She was part f a team that asked students t write ne quiz questin fr each class perid. Students wuld then answer a questin frm anther classmate. The results shwed that students did wrse n tests afterwards than when the daily quiz questins came frm the teacher. Nebel’s team is still analyzing the data. She suspects the students’ questins may have been t simple.
Teachers ften dig deeper, she ntes. They dn’t just ask fr definitins. Often, teachers ask students t cmpare and cntrast (对比) ideas. That takes sme careful thinking.
45．The 2021study is listed t shw ________.
A．reading textbks is a cmmn study skill
B．Cynthia Nebel was a gd learner when she was at schl
C．reading textbks ver and ver helps t imprve memry

T learn t think is t learn t questin. Thse wh dn’t questin never truly think fr themselves. Advancements(进步) are made when thinkers start t questin. Unfrtunately, it is ften the great and respected thinkers wh end up slwing the prgress f human thught.
Aristtle was an ancient Greek philspher and scientist whse ideas explained much f the natural wrld, ften incrrectly. He was s respected by the scientific cmmunity that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying t build upn his mistakes rather than crrect them! Brilliant minds can make up and cming thinkers believe they are nt as gd as the minds f giants such as Aristtle, leading many t accept current ideas instead f questining them.
I like many thinkers f the past, nce believed in my mental weakness. I was certain that my parents, my teachers were always right. They were like a textbk t me; I didn’t questin what was written n thse pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they tld me. But that attitude sn changed. My mind’s independence was first develped in the classrm.
Astem, a 65-year-ld science teacher, nce tld me that light is a type f wave. I cnfidently went thrugh years f schl believing that. One day, hwever, I heard the German exchange student mentin that light culd be made f particles(粒子). I started t questin my beliefs. I went t the library, read abut Einstein’s discvery that puzzles the wrld’s greatest thinkers—Light behaves as bth a particle and a wave. I realized I had gne thrugh life accepting nly half f the stry as the whle truth.
Each new year brught mre new facts, and I fund myself in the library after schl trying t find my wn answers t gain a mre cmplete understanding f what I thught I already knew. I discvered that my parents and teachers are gd tls in my quest fr knwledge, but they are never the final wrd. That’s hw I develped my independent mind.
Questins are said t be the path t knwledge and truth, and I plan t cntinue questining. Hw many things d we knw fr sure tday that we will questin in the future? At this mment, I knw that ur sun will burn fr anther five billin years, and I knw nthing can escape the gravity f a black hle. This knwledge, hwever, may change in the next 20 years — maybe even in the next tw. The ne thing we can cntrl nw is ur penness t discvery, which is the key t making prgress fr human beings!
60．In this passage, Aristtle is taken as an example t shw that ________.

B．huge influence f great thinkers may stp human thught frm develping
C．advancements are made when thinkers start t questin
