personality traits 个性特征,性格特征 the genetic make-up 基因构成
Socio-genomics社会基因组学 /dʒiːˈnəʊmɪk/ genomic adj.基因组的;染色体的
Para3. Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders.社会基因组学——一个人的基因型对另一个人的可观察特征的影响——是基因组学的一个新兴领域。之前的研究表明,同龄人的基因组成可能会影响他们朋友的健康状况。为了验证这一点,Salvatore和她的同事使用瑞典国家数据来评估同伴社会遗传对几种精神障碍的影响。
29. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research?Salvatore和她的同事为什么要进行这项研究?
A. They were concerned with health outcomes of adolescents.他们关心的是青少年的健康状况。
B. They accessed an anonymized database of peers’ influence.他们访问了一个匿名的同龄影响力数据库。

D. They intended to check former research on socio-genomics.他们打算检查之前关于社会基因组学的研究。
be concerned with关注;担忧;涉及
Para 5 Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers.在控制了目标个体自身的遗传倾向和家庭社会经济因素等因素后,研究人员仍然发现同龄人的遗传倾向与目标个体发展为物质使用或精神障碍的可能性之间存在明显的关联。以学校为基础的同伴比以地理为基础的同伴的影响更大。
30. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Target individuals were easily affected in the school.目标个体在学校里很容易受到影响。
B. Family socio-economic factors made for the findings.家庭社会经济因素导致了这一发现。
C. Genetic make-up had nothing to do with mental disorder.基因构成与精神障碍没有任何关系。
D. Target individuals were unlikely to suffer substance uses.目标个体不太可能遭受药物滥用。
Para 6 Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said.塞尔瓦托说,需要更多的研究来理解这些联系存在的原因。但她说,清楚的是,这些发现对干预措施是有意义的。她说:“如果我们想要考虑如何最好地解决这些社会代价高昂的疾病,我们需要更多地考虑基于网络和社会的干预措施。”
Para 7 This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said.塞尔瓦托补充说,这项研究还强调了在上学后至少延续十年的过程和风险的重要性。她说:“同伴遗传影响的影响范围很长。

Para 1 The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.随着气温上升,世界已经面临着大规模的自然灾害。唯一已知的能够迅速阻止气温上升的方法是气候工程,这是一套有意改变气候的拟议行动。
arrest v.逮捕,拘留;阻止,抑制;吸引;心跳停止n.逮捕,拘留;停止,终止
cease v.终止,结束 (cease sth.// cease to do sth.) n.停止 cease fire停火停战休战

alter v.改变,改动;(使)变化;改(服装);改建(某建筑);<美>阉割
近义词:alter、change、modify、shift、convert、transform...
Para 2 These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.这些措施包括通过向大气中释放大量反射粒子来模拟大型火山爆发的冷却效果,或者使海洋上空的低云变得更亮。这两种策略都会将少量的阳光反射回太空,以冷却地球。
imitate v.模仿,仿效;作滑稽模仿;仿造,伪造
近义词:imitate ( imitation); copy; model oneself on; simulate; pattern; mimic
Para 3 There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn’t just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.然而,关于有意改变气候的影响,还有许多悬而未决的问题。许多国家最关心的问题之一是国家安全。这不仅仅意味着战争;食品、能源和水供应的风险是国家安全问题。

Libraries have been some of the world’s greatest institutions of knowledge for thousands of years. Here, let’s know some of the world’s famous libraries.
Morgan Library & Museum
This library was formed in 1906 to hold the collection of the banker J. P. Morgan. Items of special prominence (突出) in Morgan’s collection include original manuscripts, works by Sir Walter Scott, and drawings by masterful artists like Picasso and Michelangelo. The library was made a public institution in 1924 by J. P. Morgan’s son John Pierpont Morgan Jr.
Bodleian Library
Established in 1602, Bodleian, the main research library of the University of Oxford, is one of the oldest libraries in Europe, housing many individual printed books, like the rare first edition of Don Quixote, and the first modern novel (1604).
Shanghai Library
Shanghai Library is China’s largest public library with a collection of more than 50 million items. It merged (合并) with the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of Shanghai in 1995, becoming the first library in China to offer extensive research functions.
National Library of China
This library was initially founded as the Imperial Peking Library in 1909 and renamed the National Library of China (NLC) in 1999. With over 41 million items by December 2020, it is not only the country’s main collection for the nation’s publications, but also is China’s national museum of ancient books.

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial light, making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
24. Why is Gooseberry Mesa an ideal destination for star photographers?
A. It’s a popular tourist spot. B. It’s located near a large city.
C. It’s free from light pollution. D. It’s easily accessible to a race car.
25. In what way is photography similar to racing according to the text?
A. They require patience and timing. B. They depend on advanced equipment.
C. They involve travelling to remote places. D. They simply need to meet physical challenges.
26. What does Batak Tefreshi think of unexpected weather conditions?
A. They make the night sky inviting. B. They are obstacles to be overcome.
C. They are chances for better pictures. D. They stop him from touching the wheel.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Passion for Discovering Cultures B. Journey to Shooting the Night Sky
C. Advocacy of Environmental Protection D. Charm of the Night Sky in Gooseberry Mesa

Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers Health professor shows she was onto something: Their personality traits can affect you—especially ones that are in their genes.
The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders.
With an anonymized (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood.
Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers.
Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said.
This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said.
28. What does the data of Salvatore’s research show?
A. You should listen to your parent’s advice.
B. Peers are to blame for your mental diseases.
C. Peers’ make-up is the most influential factor.
D. Peers’ personality will affect you in the long run.
29. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research?
A. They were concerned with health outcomes of adolescents.
B. They accessed an anonymized database of peers’ influence.
C. They worried about severe cases of peers’ mental disorders.
D. They intended to check former research on socio-genomics.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Target individuals were easily affected in the school.
B. Family socio-economic factors made for the findings.
C. Genetic make-up had nothing to do with mental disorder.
D. Target individuals were unlikely to suffer substance uses.
31. What is Salvatore’s suggestion on interventions?
A. Letting go of social genetic effects after 10 years.
B. Digging into why school-based connections exist.
C. Persisting in the removal of the negative influence.
D. Highlighting the risks that would extend for a long time.
D
The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn’t just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It’s hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in March 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precaution. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can’t be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
32. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Force. B. Cease. C. Adopt. D. Match.
33. What do we know about climate engineering?
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
34. What has led to concerns about climate engineering?
A. Climate models. B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects. D. Geographical locations.
35. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. Precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night sky.驾驶赛车和拿着相机对着银河系有什么共同之处呢?比你想象的要多。赛车手布巴·华莱士和摄影师巴塔克·特弗莱利一起前往偏远的醋栗梅萨,进行一次旨在捕捉夜空的冒险之旅。
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial light能免受夜间人造光的影响, making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”这个团队发现了除了摄影之外的共同兴趣。巴塔克说:“我们都热衷于将不同文化融合在一起,并利用我们的工作打破界限。”夜空有一种统一的力量。天空将整个世界连接在一把伞下。”
24. Why is Gooseberry Mesa an ideal destination for star photographers?
A. It’s a popular tourist spot. B. It’s located near a large city.
C. It’s free from light pollution. D. It’s easily accessible to a race car.
25. In what way is photography similar to racing according to the text?
A. They require patience and timing. B. They depend on advanced equipment.
C. They involve travelling to remote places. D. They simply need to meet physical challenges.
26. What does Batak Tefreshi think of unexpected weather conditions?
A. They make the night sky inviting. B. They are obstacles to be overcome.
C. They are chances for better pictures. D. They stop him from touching the wheel.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers Health professor shows she was onto something: Their personality traits can affect you—especially ones that are in their genes.妈妈总是说,“明智地选择你的朋友。”现在,罗格斯大学健康教授领导的一项研究表明,她发现了一些东西:他们的性格特征会影响你,尤其是那些存在于他们基因中的性格特征。
The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.这项开创性的研究发现,青少年同龄人的基因构成可能会对个人吸毒和酗酒、抑郁和焦虑的风险产生长期影响。罗格斯大学罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊医学院(Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School)的精神病学副教授杰西卡·e·塞尔瓦托(Jessica E.
Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders.社会基因组学——一个人的基因型对另一个人的可观察特征的影响——是基因组学的一个新兴领域。之前的研究表明,同龄人的基因组成可能会影响他们朋友的健康状况。为了验证这一点,Salvatore和她的同事使用瑞典国家数据来评估同伴社会遗传对几种精神障碍的影响。
With an anonymized (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood.有了一个匿名数据库,其中包含了1980年至1998年间在瑞典出生的150多万瑞典人,他们的父母在瑞典出生,第一步是根据地点和青少年时期的学校来绘制个人地图。然后,研究人员使用医学、药学和法律登记处记录了同一个人成年后的物质使用和精神健康障碍。
Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers.
Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said.
This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said.
28. What does the data of Salvatore’s research show?
A. You should listen to your parent’s advice.
B. Peers are to blame for your mental diseases.
C. Peers’ make-up is the most influential factor.
D. Peers’ personality will affect you in the long run.
29. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research?
A. They were concerned with health outcomes of adolescents.
B. They accessed an anonymized database of peers’ influence.
C. They worried about severe cases of peers’ mental disorders.
D. They intended to check former research on socio-genomics.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Target individuals were easily affected in the school.
B. Family socio-economic factors made for the findings.
C. Genetic make-up had nothing to do with mental disorder.
D. Target individuals were unlikely to suffer substance uses.
31. What is Salvatore’s suggestion on interventions?
A. Letting go of social genetic effects after 10 years.
B. Digging into why school-based connections exist.
C. Persisting in the removal of the negative influence.
D. Highlighting the risks that would extend for a long time.
D
The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn’t just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It’s hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in March 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precaution. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can’t be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
32. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Force. B. Cease. C. Adopt. D. Match.
33. What do we know about climate engineering?
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
34. What has led to concerns about climate engineering?
A. Climate models. B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects. D. Geographical locations.
35. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. Precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.
