Many peple are fascinated by the idea f being a jurnalist. They get t travel t different places, meet different peple, and share their thughts with a large audience. Peng Yixuan, studying digital media at the Cmmunicatin University f China, has been a vide jurnalist at China Daily fr almst five years.

Cmpared with traditinal media jurnalists, thse in new media are “almighty(全能的)”. “Frm Script(脚本) writing t vide editing, we need t be cmpetitive in each step f the vide-making prcess,” Peng said. “We als need t react fast t the latest news and think f what yung peple are curius abut.

Peng’s jb makes her see the necessity and pwer f internatinal cmmunicatin. “I can feel the changes in Chinese media ver the past few decades,” Peng said. “We went frm telling stries frm abrad t telling the wrld ur stries. As a jurnalist, it’s my hnur t be a part f it.”

What can a seal teach us abut the deep cean? Plenty-as lng as it’s wearing satellite-linked devices n its head. Clive McMahn, wh wrks n an elephant seal tagging prject at the University f Tasmania in Australia, said that deep-diving seals can prvide scientists with a wealth f infrmatin n the structure f the cean flr.
T gather this infrmatin, McMahn and his team attached small satellite-linked devices t seals. The devices tk measurements f temperature and depth as the seals swam. Since 2004, McMahn’s team has tracked mre than 500, 000 individual seal dives beneath the East Antarctic cntinental shelf, which is the edge f a cntinent that lies under the cean.
“Given the remte nature f Antarctica and the surrunding Suthern Ocean, nly a small part f the Antarctic cntinental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahn said. “S the infrmatin available abut this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces t this puzzle. In July 2023, McMahn and his team published a study abut their wrk with deep-diving seals in a scientific jurnal.
Infrmatin frm seal dives is helping scientists understand hw the cean affects Antarctica’s rle in glbal climate. “We fund in sme regins that mre than 25 percent f previus estimates f the cean depths were wrng.” said Mark Hindell, wh als wrked n the study. “We nly knw this nw because the seals were diving hundreds f meters belw thse depths. In the mst extreme cases, they dived mre than 1, 000 meters (3,281feet) deeper than what we thught was the ‘cean flr’”.
The data, r infrmatin, frm the dives als revealed new underwater features, including trughs, which are lng, wide and deep sunken areas in the cean flr. Thanks t the seals, the scientists als fund a deep canyn near the Vanderfrd Glacier, which is as lw-mving river f ice hundreds r thusands f meters deep.
23. What is the main purpse f the article?
A. Analyzing East Antarctic shelf’s gegraphy.
B. Discussing cean impacts n climate change.
C. Describing satellite devices in cean research.
D. Intrducing seals’ rle in cllecting cean data.
24. Which is clsest in meaning t “sparse” in paragraph 3?
A. Limited.B. Plentiful.C. Cmplex.D. Unrelated.
25. Why is the seal-gathered data cnsidered imprtant?
A. Seals dive deeper than ther marine animals.
B. Seals are able t replace extensive ship surveys.
C. Seals are equipped with advanced technlgy in devices.
D. Seals access remte cean areas beynd huma’s knwledge.
26. What might the article cntinue talking abut?
A. The impact f seal dives n cean ecsystem research.
B. The challenges faced by scientists in tracking seal dives.
C. The significance f the newly discvered underwater features.
D. The applicatins f satellite-linked devices in ther animal studies.

“Yu can lve smene and still chse t say gdbye t them.” Tara nw says. It’s hard t understand these wrds until I read Tara Westver’s memir Educated.
In her bk Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idah. Her dad believed the wrld was cming t an end, and that the family shuld interact with the health and educatin systems as little as pssible. Majr medical crises went untreated-her mther never recvered frm her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings wrked at their father’s junkyard， nne f them received prper hmeschling.
Educated is an amazing stry. I fund it fascinating hw it tk studying philsphy and histry in schl fr Tara t trust her wn perceptin f the wrld. Befre stepping ft in a classrm until she was 17, her wrldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went t Brigham Yung University that she realized there were ther perspectives n things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her dctrate in histry frm Cambridge. Of the seven Westver siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhd experience made them tugh and helped them persevere. When yu meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentining her childhd traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by hw she talks s penly abut hw ignrant she nce was.
Educated tuches n the divides in ur cuntry: rural versus urban, cllege-educated versus nt. Since she’s spent her whle life mving between these tw wrlds, I asked Tara what she thught. “I wrry that educatin is becming a stick that sme peple use t beat ther peple int submissin r becming smething that peple feel arrgant(傲慢的) abut,” she said. “I think educatin is really just a prcess f self-discvery-f develping a sense f self and what yu think. I think f it as this great mechanism f cnnecting and equalizing.”
Tara’s prcess f self-discvery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this bk isn’t the last.
27. Hw did Tara’s upbringing shape her wrldview?
A. It prepared her fr a successful academic career.
B. It limited her access t educatin and critical thinking.
C. It encuraged her t embrace different perspectives and ideas.
D. It instilled in her a strng sense f independence and resilience.
28. Which culd best describe Tara accrding t the text?
A. Perseverant and hnest.B. Talented and weak.
C. Cruel and accmplished.D. Rmantic and determined.
29. Accrding t Tara, what shuld educatin primarily invlve?
A. Explring mre f neself and individual thughts.
B. Fllwing established scial rules and regulatins
C. Strengthening divisins and in equalities amng peple.
D. Obtaining certain rights and privileges t defeat thers.
30. What is the text type f this passage?
A. Autbigraphy.B. News reprt.
C. Persuasive essays.D. Bk review.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was fur years ld, I learned an imprtant lessn abut trust and water. It was a lessn I wuld carry with me fr the rest f my life.
I remember thse lazy summer days when my father and I used t play in the swimming pl. He was a giant in the water, his chest twering abve the surface, while I struggled t keep my head abve water. One day, he decided it was time t teach me hw t swim. Here assured me, “Put yur head underwater. It’s nt scary, I prmise.” But my fur-year-ld self was t afraid f the unknwn depths. What if smething happened t me dwn there? I culdn’t take the risk. My father pinted t a distant flag and said, “Lk at that flag!” As sn as I turned t lk, his hands pushed my head beneath the water. Fr a brief mment, I culdn’t see r breathe. Then, just as quickly, he let g, and l emerged breathing fr air. It was a memry that stayed with me.
A year later, during a family vacatin in Miami when I was five, my father suggested we try the waterslide at the htel pl. The slide was tall and full f twists and turns that made me dizzy just lking at it. He said, “Let’s g. If yu’re scared, we can cme back dwn.” I climbed t the tp but refused t slide. I remembered his trick frm the previus year. Unexpectedly, he lightly pushed me, and I went sliding dwn with a splash.
Over the years, with my father’s challenge and cmpany, I tried varius kinds f adventurus water sprts, including surfing, sailing, and rafting. Gradually, I had turned frm distrusting my father t trusting myself. As I turned 18, my father prepared a special gift fr me, cliff-diving in Red Rcks, Arizna, where participants jumped ff cliffs(悬崖) int bdies f water. After hurs f flight and drive, we were there.
