19、 in the seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C. Students at school are required to do different science projects, such as building a model volcano. They get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All they need to do is to transform their favorite activities
20、into science projects.Elizabeth enjoys doing science projects. She has designed a program based on the golden ratio(黄金分割) by herself. This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeths new program helps computers write data evenly across the s
21、toring system. This could help it live longer.“As long as I can remember, Ive been an artistic person, “Elizabeth says, “In the fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth ha
22、d to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in technology, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique(技法) by running programs on a computer.But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding(编码) experience. To prepare for it, she spent months reading a textb
23、ook on how to code. She says, “It wasnt like an ah-ha moment. Writing program is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing the things that It old it to do after those hours.”“Dont limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest difficulties
24、you face is changing your mindset(思维定式). I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. In the past I used words, then I tried painting, and now Im using programming. “2
25、4. According to the passage, Elizabeths new program is good for_. A. the science coursesB. the musical instrumentsC. the understanding of artworkD. the storing system25.

27、s of the golden ratio working on her computerCBiodiversity refers to various kinds of living things on our planet. It includes not only the different species of animals and plants, but also the genetic diversity(多样性) within each species and the diversity of ecosystem in which they live. Biodiversity
28、 is necessary for all living things, including humans. However, it is dangerous because of human activities such as deforestation(毁林),pollution, and climate change.One of the main reasons why biodiversity is important is that it provides us with many necessary ecosystem services. For example, forest
29、s help to control the Earths climate by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Wetlands help to separate out pollutants from water and offer living space for many kinds of birds and animals. Coral reefs protect coastlines from storms and provide home for thousands of living things in the ocean
30、.Biodiversity also plays a key role in providing us with food ,medicine, and other resources(资源). For example, many of the fruits and vegetables that we eat are from wild plants. Many of the medicines that we use to treat diseases come from plant and animal resources. And many of the materials that
31、we use to build our homes and make our clothes come from natural resources.However, besides its importance, biodiversity is under threat. According to the World Wildlife Fund, we are now in the process of the sixth mass extinction(灭绝) event in Earths history. This extinction event is largely caused
32、by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overfishing.Protecting biodiversity is therefore completely necessary if we want to make sure that all living things can survive continually, including ourselves. This can be achieved through a combination of measures, including protect
33、ion of natural environment, continuous use of natural resources, and reducing our carbon footprint(碳排放量).In conclusion, biodiversity is important for the survival and well-being of all living things, including humans. It is important that we must take actions to protect it for ourselves and for our
34、future generations.27. We can know from the passage that_.A. humans provide necessary ecosystem services for biodiversityB. biodiversity includes all kinds of living things except humansC. humans make great influence on the biodiversity on the earthD. the development of biodiversity relates to the c
35、limate change28. The phrase “under threat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_.”A. in dangerB. out of dateC. under controlD. on balance29. Whats the passage mainly talking about?A. It suggests us how we can take the advantage of biodiversity.B. It encourages us to try to control biodiversitys developme
36、nt.C. It tells us why we should take actions to protect biodiversity.D. It talks about the importance of improving our environment.DNowadays our life is getting more and more demanding. It seems that multitasking can help us get out of the trouble. It was first used to describe computer performance.
37、 However, the human brain, is not a computer. And human attention is a very limited resource. Can we actually multitask?According to the spotlight theory of attention, when we focus on the leftmost or rightmost things, our attention must cover the intervening region(间隔区)because the spotlight of atte
38、ntion cannot be divided. Even though were constantly receiving a huge amount of information from our senses, its only possible for a small amount to make it through to conscious awareness(意识). Take the Bouncing Ball Experiment for an example. Lets watch carefully and pay particular attention to how
39、many balls bounce(弹跳) in the circle. How many balls can you count? Seven, right? But did you also notice that little dinosaur? What about the changing shape of the circle? Or the smiley face on one of the balls? This experiment shows just how powerful our focused attention is.Being able to delete ir
40、relevant(无关的)detail is an amazingly useful tool, but it means we might miss things that are right under our noses. This is the effect known as inattention blindness. You can see this very clearly in the famous Invisible Gorilla experiment. When asked to concentrate exclusively on how often basketbal
41、l players in white pass the ball, most people completely miss the gorilla walking across the screen and beating his chest.We just dont have the ability to process everything at a time. This is a particular problem when we try to multitask. We can change attention from one task to another and back ag
42、ain. But when attention is overloaded, we miss things, and the result is nearly always that we perform tasks less well than we will do them one at a time. Its only truly possible to do two things at once if they require different sets of mental(头脑的) resources. For example, its totally possible to re
43、ad a book and listen to music at the same time.This would suggest that driving while talking on the phone is not a problem, as long as its a hands-free phone. But its not that simple. Research has shown that while talking on the phone we have tendency(趋势) to create mental images ,and this uses the s
44、ame visual resources needed for driving. And if visual resources become too spread, its possible for a driver to look directly at a danger but, just like with that little dinosaur, fail to see it.So multitasking makes us at best, inefficient, and at worst, downright dangerous. If youre feeling like
45、you should be doing 17 things at once, remember, thats just not the way your brain works.30.The spotlight theory of attention in Paragraph 2 shows that_. A. only a small amount of information can be noticed by usB. our attention is good at receiving information unlimitedlyC. the spotlight attention
46、can be divided into several regionsD. its important to improve our powerful focused attention31. According to the passage, “inattention blindness” might happen when_.A. Each of the tasks is completed as the way the brain worksB. several tasks are repeated in a regular cycle one by oneC. mental resou
47、rces are used to finish the tasks separatelyD. mental attention resources are overloaded or too spread32.What can we learn from the passage?A. We should learn to recognize different information from multitask.B. Multitasking can help us improve the efficiency of our daily work.C. We have to carry out special training for higher quality of multitask.D. Our brains are hardly able to deal with multitask at the same time.33. What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage
