(2026·云南昆明质量检测)From boat decks (甲板) to the Stanford campus, Katie Jewett, a 2011 graduate of the Human Biology program, has charted a path through the worlds of ocean science and communication.
Jewett developed a love for the ocean at an early age.Upon graduation from Stanford, she involved herself in the environment that had inspired her storytelling pursuits.After leaving the boat world, Jewett worked as a science writer at the California Academy of Sciences where she wrote about the museum's biodiversity research and reported stories for bioGraphic magazine.Today, she is the Associate Director for Ocean Communications at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
For Jewett, science is more than just the process of collecting data—it's about the stories of the people doing the research and the people those findings serve.Her love for the ocean and passion for storytelling have driven her to connect the work of scientists with global audiences, translating complex data into appealing stories.Transforming complicated scientific information into a more related format has become one of her biggest priorities.
Jewett's passion for storytelling is typical in a recent video she produced with her colleagues at Stanford,Oceans in a New Light.The feature tells the story of how ocean scientists are cooperating with resource managers in Palau to develop a tiny chip that can detect floating DNA chips of specific species in the ocean.“What really made the story successful was that the people involved in the project connected viewers to this sense of place and invited them into the process of innovation,” she explained.
Jewett's journey from HumBio student to her current role shows the value of using science communication to sail in today's complex world.“Life is a constant conversation, so having the skill set to read people and meet them where they're at is invaluable,” she reflected.

(2026·贵州贵阳七校联考)After spending 62 years above the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge's heritage lives on below the water's surface.The bridge was fully torn down, after which its huge structure of metal and concrete was cleaned and then dropped into the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life as an artificial reef.
Coral reefs are varied marine ecosystems, often regarded as the rainforests of the sea.When coral reefs are stressed by changes in conditions, such as temperature, light or nutrients, they expel the algae that live in their tissues, without which corals' tissues become transparent, showing their white structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching (漂白).This largely attributes to the sharp decline of coral reefs.It is reported that we've lost 14 percent of the world's coral reefs in the last decade, an equivalent of losing the whole Great Barrier Reef in 10 years.
It is clear that natural coral reefs are now in trouble.That's why people are finding ways to build them from artificial materials.Artificial reefs aren't made of coral.They are created by placing large objects on the ocean floor.Sometimes, these objects are built to be used as reefs.They are often made of steel and concrete.A structure can also be recycled as a reef.That's what happened with the Tappan Zee Bridge.Of all the artificial marine reefs in the world, those made of submerged shipwrecks are the most common.In 2005, Jim Walsh helped turn a ship called the Carthaginian Ⅱ into a reef, The Carthaginian Ⅱ landed on the ocean floor more than a decade ago.Back then, it was just a chunk of metal on a bare patch of sand.Now the ship is a home to at least 75 marine animal species.“It's amazing to see how much life is on that ship,” Walsh says.
While artificial reefs bring benefits in many ways, they aren't perfect for all situations, as they can damage natural habitats if not carefully constructed and potentially lead to a sharp increase in tourism activity that spills over into surrounding areas, including natural reefs.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了塔潘齐大桥被拆除后,其结构被改造成人工鱼礁,为海洋生物提供了栖息地,成为海洋中的“宝藏”。
5.How was the Tappan Zee Bridge recycled?
A.It was dropped as it was.
B.It was cut into small pieces first.
C.It was melted and reshaped into a reef.
D.It was cleaned then placed into the ocean.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,塔潘齐大桥被拆除后,其巨大的金属和混凝土结构被清理干净,然后沉入大西洋,成为人工鱼礁。故选D。
答案 D
6.What does the underlined word “expel” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Attract. B.Release.
C.Change. D.Feed.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“...without which corals' tissues become transparent, showing their white structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching (漂白).”可知,珊瑚礁在受到压力时,会排出生活在其组织中的藻类,没有这些藻类,珊瑚组织会变得透明,呈现出白色结构,即白化现象。故选B。
答案 B
7.What can be inferred about the future of artificial reefs?
A.They may need strict regulations.
B.They will ruin the natural environment.
C.They will take the place of natural reefs.
D.They will all be made of steel and concrete.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,人工鱼礁如果建造不当会破坏自然栖息地,还可能导致旅游业活动急剧增加,影响周边地区,所以未来人工鱼礁可能需要严格的管理和规范。故选A。
答案 A
8.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The forms of reefs have changed.
B.Tappan Zee Bridge is home to reefs.
C.A deserted bridge turns into a treasure.
D.Artificial reefs bring hopes for oceans.
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段可知,文章主要讲述了塔潘齐大桥被拆除后,其结构被改造成人工鱼礁,为海洋生物提供了栖息地,成为海洋中的“宝藏”,C 选项“一座废弃的桥变成一座宝藏”符合文章主旨。故选C。
答案 C
