切。)”可知，作者最初认为拍照会阻碍自己真正看到眼前的东西，注意到重 要的事情，让自己无法专注于正在经历的事情，而是专注于构图。因此，作者 最初认为拍照会让自己无法充分享受当下。故选B。 25题答案：D 细节理解题。由文章第四段“At their best,photographers reveal what isn't readily

factor for obesity.(特别是，睡眠时间 不足已日益被认为是肥胖的一个重要因素。)”可知，睡眠不足对健康有 害，故画线所在句意为“大量证据表明，经常缩短睡眠时间与不良健康结果 有关”，由此可知，adverse意为“有害的”。故选D。 30题答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段“The participants were able to increase their sleep

the Plains一ICHECIP,for short一is set up to change that.(一个名为平原冰雹 收集实地协作实验'的项目一一简称ICHECIP,就是为了改变这种状况而设立 的)”可知，ICHECIP的研究人员希望收集能够改进冰雹预报的数据，并帮助回 答一些基本问题（比如气候变化如何影响冰雹的频率和冰雹的大小）。ICHECIP 成立是为了解决冰雹研究的空白。故选D。 35题答案：A 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段“A project called the In-situ Collaborative EXperiment for the Collection of Hail in the Plains-ICHECIP,for short-is set up to change that.(一个名为‘平原冰雹收集实地协作实验'的项目一一简称

Years ago when I was starting to explore the world in earnest-making my first trips to Africa and Asia and the Arctic-I believed that looking at the world through a camera held back my ability to see what was really in front of me and to notice what mattered.I thought that trying to capture good pictures took me out of the moment and made me conscious of constructing an image rather than absorbing what I was experiencing. I've since changed my mind about that.Today I take plenty of photos,not just on my travels but in the everyday life-when I notice an interesting mushroom while walking the dog,or watch the cloud formations before a storm. I understand now that taking pictures can be a way to stop and make better sense of the world around us. That's one important outcome of the work that our phenomenal photographers do for National Geographic.And it's why I'm so pleased that we have devoted this month's magazine to immersing you in that work. Of course,these professionals have a much different relationship with photography than I do.Their work is creatively,intellectually,and logistically challenging in ways that most of us hobbyist photographers can hardly imagine. For them,it is an art and a science that they've perfected-a way to stop us in our tracks and make us pay attention to a story that needs to be told.At their best,photographers reveal what isn't readily seen. In addition to impressive photos,we're letting you hear directly from a handful of our photographers,who share stories that take you deeper into some of their most interesting projects.You'll learn the extreme lengths to which our contributors have gone to capture some of these shots,and get a closer look at the equipment that makes it all possible. I hope you enjoy the issue. 24.What was the author's initial belief about taking photographs? A.It greatly enhanced his travel experiences. B.It kept him from fully enjoying the present C.It helped record unforgettable memories. D.It indicated his reliance on the camera. 25.What is a key ability of professional photographers according to the author? A.Simplifying complex processes. B.Imagining touching stories. C.Documenting events accurately. D.Presenting unnoticed scenes. 26.What does the magazine offer besides photos? A.A behind-the-scenes look. B.A contribution for photographers. C.Photographer training projects. D.Publishers'firsthand stories. 27.In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A.Earth's A behind-the-scenes look. C.Around the World. B.From the Editor D..Reader's Letter In a clinical trial with 80 adults,a team of researchers found that sleep extension reduced energy intake and resulted in a negative energy balance in real-life settings among adults with overweight who habitually reduced their sleep duration.The findings appear in the journal AMA Internal Medicine Obesity is a major public health concern.Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results.Particularly,insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity.However,it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity. The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 years with a body mass index(BMI)between 25.0 and 29.9,and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night.The study was conducted from November 1,2014 to October 30, 2020.The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling session. Overall,participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day-which would translate to roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term. Ultimately,the researchers hope to examine the underlying mechanisms that may explain these results,and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity "In our earlier work,we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation,"Dr.Tasali said."Now we've shown that in real life,without making any other lifestyle changes,you can extend your sleep and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight." 28.What's the new finding of the research? A.Extending sleep duration helps reduce caloric intake. B.Sleep extension can lead to weight problems. C.Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight. D.Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration. 29.What's the probable meaning of the underlined word "adverse"in paragraph 22 A.Apparent B.Unique C.Lasting D.Harmful 30.According to the text,the subject of the study A.usually slept 6.5 hours per night B.got advice on sleep tailored to themselves C.were 80 adults of the similar age group D.were particularly chosen from a certain place 31.What do researchers think of the study? A.Its results are hard to explain clearly. B.It's unreliable with many factors ignored. C.It lays a foundation for further studies. D.It has solved all the puzzles of researchers. D When it comes to extreme weather,hailstorms(雹暴)“tend to get an unbalanced share of the attention,"says Victor Gensini,a meteorologist( 者)at Northern IⅢlinois University. Yet hailstorms total cars,destroy roofs,and devastate crops,costing the United States $46 billion in 2023-representing 60%to 80%of the losses from hail,tornadoes,wind,and lightning-caused fires combined,according to an insurance institute.So it's no surprise U.S.hail scientists are frustrated that their last major research campaign took place in the late 1970s."It's just this big gaping hole,"says Becky Adams-Selin,a hail scientist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research. A project called the In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail in the Plains-ICECHIP,for short-is set up to change that.Led by Adams-Selin,ICECHIP researchers hope to gather data that could improve hailstorm prediction and help answer fundamental questions,such as how climate change will affect the frequency of hailstorms and the size of the stones. The campaign will rely on technologies new to hail research,such as high-speed videography,drone imagery,and mobile radar.For example, researchers will also use balloons to deliver 3D-printed spherical sensors into storms to imitate the movement of hailstones.A fleet of 24 ground-based sensors will measure the energy of falling hailstones every 500th of a second,and 3D laser scanners will record collected hailstones'intricate shapes.Back in the lab, ICECHIP researchers will analyze hailstones'ice layers to determine the temperature and altitude at which they formed-and,in turn,the paths they took through storms "Such tools will bring hail research 'into the 21st century,""says Julian Brimelow,a meteorologist and executive director of Canada's Northern Hail Project,a research group involved in ICECHIP.But some technologies from the 1970s will remain,such as hail pads:Pieces of foam topped with aluminum foil to catch hailstones and provide outlines of their sizes and shapes 32.What can we infer from Victor Gensini's statement? A.Hailstorms are unexpected. B.Hailstorms deserve more attention. C.Hailstorms get too much attention.D.Hailstorms are common. 33.What does the underlined word "total"in Paragraph 2 mean?

Do everyday things differently.Take a different route to work.37. Whether the change you make is big or small,make a change in the way you do things on a day-to-day basis.Look for the perspective that comes from any change,even if it's negative.Don't be put off if things don't work out the way you planned. Take your time making decisions.Sometimes slowing down is all it takes to make you uncomfortable-especially if speed and quick thinking are prized in your work or personal life.38.And take your time to interpret what you see.Sometimes just defending your right to make an educated decision can push you out of your comfort zone.
