Students can choose the topics they want to explore: anthropology, astrophysics, conservation science, Earth science, and evolutionary biology. During the school year, Science Alliance High School runs three sessions: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Courses will meet once or twice a week on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 4：30-6：30 p．m. Fall 2024 Sessions CLASS AGE GROUP DATES & TIMES Insectarium Insects play a vital role in our New York City community by decomposing the city's organic matter and pollinating(授粉) the vast majority of our food­bearing plants. In this course, students will explore insect biodiversity, human health, and the Museum scientists that have contributed research and specimens(标本) to the Insectarium. They will practice various insect collection methods in the field and preparation techniques back in the lab. Using the Museum's insect collections and new technologies, students will explore a variety of digital tools that allow them to study these tiny creatures in new, more visible ways.

B[2026深圳四校联考] While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you're composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of—and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task's hidden patterns significantly faster. “This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors chose a non­demanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning，” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says—on which being distracted is typically shown to have a negative effect. But the results are not clear­cut,_says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don't think that this means the mind­wandering episodes themselves cause implicit learning(内隐学习) to occur，” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state. This makes the conclusion less certain and open to other interpretations.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study. Using EEG recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants' brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state's learning benefits，” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study. To better understand whether mind wandering might make up for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss. (　　) 4. What are the key findings of the new study? A. Mind wandering greatly disturbs the learning process. B. People can learn hidden patterns unconsciously. C. People learn hidden patterns faster when their minds wander. D. Daydreaming has a negative impact on performing demanding tasks. (　　) 5. Why does Athena Demertzi describe the new study as “exciting”？ A. It proves the findings of previous research on demanding tasks. B. It chooses a novel angle characterized by non­demanding tasks. C. It employs a unique research method involving demanding tasks. D. It offers a solution to mind wandering on non­demanding tasks. (　　) 6. What does the underlined word “clear­cut” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confusing. B. Definite. C. Complex. D. Amazing. (　　) 7. What will the researchers probably do next according to the passage? A. Apply the findings to addressing sleep issues. B. Develop new methods to prevent mind wandering. C. Study the reasons for a lack of sleep. D. Research the effect of mind wandering on sleep loss. Ⅲ. 完形填空。 Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.

Historians debated whether war, disease, or starvation caused its collapse, but recent research points to climate change 2.__________ a key factor. Located near the East China Sea, Liangzhu 3.__________(be) home to an advanced Stone Age civilization for about 1，000 years, supporting an active agricultural system through its canals. Liangzhu City was listed as 4.__________ UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. Researchers from the University of Innsbruck had long sought to explain 5.__________ Liangzhu was abandoned, and the discovery of a thin layer of clay on the ruins suggested a possible connection between the ends of the advanced civilization 6.__________ floods of the Yangtze River or floods from the East China Sea. However, no clear conclusions on the cause were possible from the mud layer 7.__________(it). A breakthrough came when scientists studied stalagmites(石笋) from two nearby underwater caves. As Dr Peter Dockrill reported for ScienceAlert, their team discovered chemical signatures from about 4，300 years ago that showed 8.__________(extreme) high rainfall, probably caused by the 9.__________(warm) of ocean waters in the Pacific—an event known as the El Niño (厄尔尼诺). The study notes that wet conditions lasted for several hundred years following the collapse of Liangzhu, eventually paving the way for the rise of the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BCE.
