Come Join Our Watch: Become a Citizen Scientist
Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) provide food and shelter for a rich variety of marine life. They also protect millions of people from coastal flooding and storms. However, there are not enough scientists to monitor their health, and this is where you can help. CoralWatch, a citizen science program, uses the Coral Health Chart to measure changes in coral colour associated with coral bleaching. The chart is easy to use and allows anyone to get involved without special training.
Steps to Use the Coral Health Chart
Choose a random coral and select the lightest area. Find the closest colour match and record the colour code (代码). Then select the darkest area of the same coral and record that colour code. Try to monitor at least 20 corals per survey.
Tips for Monitoring
Avoid measuring the growing tips of branching and plate corals since they are naturally white.
Do not monitor blue or purple corals because they have a different bleaching response.
Corals are fragile animals. Do not touch or step on them.
Use a flashlight when diving below 5m/15 feet due to color loss at depth.
Don’t just record bleached corals. Aim for a representative sample of all coral colors.
Reef Colour Score Distribution
All data is publicly available in the global database at www.coralwatch.org. The bar graph above shows the distribution of colour scores for 20 surveyed corals on a particular reef. A healthy reef has a majority of scores of 3 and more.
Don’t wait for coral bleaching to occur — monitoring healthy reefs is just as important. To get started, request your free Coral Health Chart online.
1. What is the purpose of the CoralWatch program?
A. To collect data for government use. B. To train professional marine scientists.
C. To spread knowledge of Coral reefs. D. To engage citizens in coral monitoring.
2. What is advised when monitoring coral reef health?
A. Including purple corals in surveys. B. Recording corals of various colors.
C. Measuring tips of branching corals. D. Avoiding using an underwater light.
3. Why can the particular reef be considered healthy, according to the bar graph?
A. Because 30% of the surveyed corals on it scored 3.
B. Because 45% of the surveyed corals on it scored 4.
C. Because 75% of the surveyed corals on it scored 3 and more.
D. Because 85% of the surveyed corals on it. scored 3 and more.

All my life I’ve been bad at sports. At school, I was always pretending to be sick on the annual sports day, and I had a standing note from my mother to excuse me from physical education classes due to my “bad foot”.
Even after I started exercising regularly in my mid-20s, I never joined my friends’ football teams. Then, last year, a friend invited me to her birthday “kickabout” — a casual game of football. Had we been less close, I might have made my excuses. Instead, I turned up, determined to keep as far away from the ball as possible. To my great surprise, I enjoyed myself.
Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got swept up in the game, rooting for my team to score. A year later, the kickabout is not only still going, but it’s grown from five or six friends to a team of about 40. Every other Sunday, we meet and play at our local sports center.
What keeps me turning up every Sunday? Unexpectedly, it is not the socializing or the exercise. I love the sense of challenging myself with zero expectation — or even hope — of ever being actually skillful.
Why does it feel so good to be bad at something? “Amateur comes from the Latin, meaning ‘one who loves’,” explains author Karen Walrond. Her new book, In Defense of Dabbling, makes the case for “intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we’re drawn to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway.
There are two reasons to pursue intentional amateurism. First, it challenges the idea that we must always be productive or constantly improve ourselves. Teaching yourself to cook, for instance, is something you might do simply for personal enjoyment. Second, even though you might never improve, you’ll definitely experience benefits, which can flow into your daily life, says Walrond.
4. What can be inferred about the author’s view of sports during school days?
A. He enjoyed team games. B. He found them challenging.
C. He tried to avoid participation. D. He valued physical exercise.
5. What makes the author keep joining the weekly football game?
A. Pleasure of pure challenge. B. Need for regular physical exercise.
C. Active interaction with friends. D. Desire to become skillful at football.
6. What does “intentional amateurism” advocate?
A. Engaging in productive hobbies. B. Developing talents in various fields.
C. Enhancing professional productivity. D. Enjoying activities without skill pressure.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Hard work pays off. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Friendship fuels growth. D. Process outweighs the outcome.

Even small changes in how people move through environments can significantly affect animal behavior and could have implications for wildlife conservation efforts, a new study finds.
Animals are influenced by both direct human presence and human-caused environmental changes, such as agriculture and urbanization. Researchers from Yale and more than 50 organizations collaborated globally. For the first time ever, they used mobile phone data, paired with satellite-derived measurements of human habitat disturbance, to investigate how these two factors, separately and in combination, impact animal habitat use.
For six years, they tracked 37 species across the U. S. using GPS devices, collecting 11.8 million location points from more than 4,500 animals. “It has been challenging to capture the impact of human presence on wildlife,” says Oliver, a leading researcher, “mobile device data are typically not available, but our study was made possible between 2019 and 2020 when human activity decreased.” This enabled researchers to separate the effects of human presence on animal behavior from longer-term landscape changes such as urban development and agriculture.
The findings were striking: over 65% of species changed behavior due to human presence, especially in natural settings. But different species responded differently. Many reduced the amount of space they used, probably to avoid people, but others responded in the opposite way. For example, ravens covered more ground, likely taking advantage of food sources linked to people, while coyotes tended to restrict their movements. The study also found that individual animals could adjust their behavior from year to year, demonstrating some flexibility in response to changing human activity.
This research highlights that protecting wildlife needs more than just preserving habitats. It also requires careful management of human activity timing and intensity, like limiting traffic during key periods or reducing disturbance in certain areas. “The cutting-edge technology used in this study allows us to see, with unprecedented detail, how variable wildlife responses to human activities really are,” says Scott Yanco, a research ecologist. “This means that conservation strategies need to be very targeted, not one-size-fits-all.”
8. What is unique about the new study?
A. It emphasizes people’s conservation efforts.
B. It focuses on the small changes in environment.
C. It involves experts from more than 50 global organizations.
D. It studies two human-related factors individually and jointly.
9. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By using self-made tools. B. By adopting high-tech means.
C. By tracking animals in labs. D. By changing animal habitats.
10. What can we learn from the findings of the study?
A. Animals tend to keep their distance.
B. Animals are becoming more aggressive.
C. Animals show varied and flexible adaptations.
D. Animals prefer to live in urban environments.
11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A. More technology is needed to track animal behavior.
B. Protecting wildlife should prioritize habitat protection.
C. Wildlife protection plans should suit different conditions.
D. Human presence should be reduced in wildlife protection areas.
D
Buildings contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, particularly during the production of materials like cement. Traditional concrete production is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon dioxide(CO₂). If we can switch to materials that not only reduce emissions but actually absorb CO₂, we can make a substantial difference in fighting climate change.
Now, a team of scientists at ETH Zurich has developed a remarkable new building material that contains living bacteria. These bacteria are specially selected to turn CO₂ from the air into solid minerals. While regular concrete releases CO₂ during production, this material absorbs it, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Inside the material, the bacteria are fed nutrients, including calcium. When they“eat”, they react with CO₂ in the air to produce solid calcium carbonate. This process is similar to how seashells form in nature. Over time, the bacteria help the material grow stronger while trapping more CO₂. The scientists made the material porous(透气的), with numerous tiny holes, which give bacteria plenty of room to live and allow air to pass through so that the bacteria can capture CO₂ efficiently.
Beyond its carbon-capturing ability, this material offers other benefits. Its production consumes less energy than regular concrete and is sustainable. The bacteria also require no special care— only a small amount of food and suitable conditions. If a piece breaks, it can heal(愈合) itself. The bacteria can repair small breaks by producing more calcium carbonate, just as skin heals a cut. This self-repair ability helps buildings last longer and requires less maintenance.
The research team is still perfecting their creation. They aim to make sure the material is strong enough for real-world applications and determine the best ways to produce it on a large scale. There are also questions about how the bacteria will behave over many years and in different climates. Still, the early results are very promising. This living building material could offer a win-win solution: helping to build the cities of tomorrow while also cleaning up the air today.
12. What is stressed in the first paragraph?
A. The production of concrete. B. The need for green materials.
C. The causes of climate change. D. The ways of emission reduction.
13. Why is the new building material special?
A. It consists of solid minerals. B. It traps CO₂ and absorbs it.
C. It contains nutrient-free bacteria. D. It emits zero CO₂ during production.
14. Why does the author mention “skin heals a cut” in paragraph 4?
A. To show the similar function. B. To stress daily maintenance.
C. To explain chemical reactions. D. To describe suitable conditions.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Self-Repairing Eco-Friendly Bacteria
B. Promising Action for Climate Change
C. A Living CO₂-Trapping Building Material
D. An Energy-Saving Alternative for Building

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah lived in a crowded neighbourhood. Grey seemed to be the only colour there. There were no parks for children. The air always smelled bad. From her window, Sarah had a constant view of an abandoned piece of land. The ground was covered with old tyres (轮胎), broken glass, and plastic bags. People called it “the dead yard”. No one cared about it. It seemed impossible for anything beautiful to grow in such a dark place.
There was nowhere to go, and no safe place for children to play. People just stayed inside their small apartments all day. Except for a quick “hello”, the neighbours rarely talked or visited each other. They lived so close, but they were so far apart.
One rainy Saturday, Sarah read an article about “Tiny Forests”. The article taught people how to make a real forest in a small city yard. It said if you planted many native trees very close together, their roots would help each other. They grew ten times faster than normal forests. These tiny forests could cool the busy streets, reduce noise, and bring back birds and butterflies. The article even gave a step-by-step guide to getting permission from the city government.
Sarah looked at the colourful photos of green leaves in the article. Then she looked down at “the dead yard”. The contrast was sharp and painful. She had a bold (大胆的) idea. She decided to turn this forgotten corner into a shared garden for the community.
The journey was far from easy. After months of effort, Sarah finally received permission.
Sarah was very excited. But when she walked into the dead yard, her smile stopped. She looked at the heavy tyres, the dirty metal, and the big mountain of rubbish. She realised that she could never finish this hard work alone. She turned to ask her neighbors for help. Unfortunately, few were willing to join. Most looked on doubtfully. Some even tried to discourage her. “Don’t waste your time,” one neighbour said coldly, “This is the dead yard. Nothing can grow well here.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ignoring their doubts, Sarah started to work on her own.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
More neighbours joined in and “the dead yard” slowly came alive.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“For the first time ever, they used mobile phone data, paired with satellite-derived measurements of human habitat disturbance, to investigate how these two factors, separately and in combination, impact animal habitat use.(研究人员首次将手机数据与卫星测得的人类栖息地干扰监测数据相结合,分别研究、同时综合考量这两类因素,探究它们对动物栖息地利用情况产生的影响。)”可知,这项研究的独特之处在于从单独研究和结合研究两方面探究两类和人类相关的影响因素。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“For the first time ever, they used mobile phone data, paired with satellite-derived measurements of human habitat disturbance, to investigate how these two factors, separately and in combination, impact animal habitat use.(研究人员首次将手机数据与卫星测得的人类栖息地干扰监测数据相结合,分别研究、同时综合考量这两类因素,探究它们对动物栖息地利用情况产生的影响。)”以及原文第三段“For six years, they tracked 37 species across the U. S. using GPS devices, collecting 11.8 million location points from more than 4,500 animals.(六年里,研究人员利用GPS设备追踪美国境内37个物种,从4500多只动物身上收集了1180万个定位数据点。)”可知,研究人员运用手机数据、卫星测量、GPS设备等高科技手段开展研究。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“But different species responded differently. Many reduced the amount of space they used, probably to avoid people, but others responded in the opposite way.(但不同物种反应各不相同。许多动物缩小活动范围以避开人类,而另一些动物则做出相反反应。)”以及“The study also found that individual animals could adjust their behavior from year to year, demonstrating some flexibility in response to changing human activity.(该研究还发现,动物个体每年都会调整自身行为,展现出应对人类活动变化的适应灵活性。)”可知,动物表现出多样且灵活的适应方式。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文最后一段““The cutting-edge technology used in this study allows us to see, with unprecedented detail, how variable wildlife responses to human activities really are,” says Scott Yanco, a research ecologist.(研究生态学家Scott Yanco表示:“本研究采用的前沿技术,让我们能够以前所未有的精细程度,直观看清野生动物对人类活动的反应究竟存在多大差异。”)”可知,野生动物对人类活动的反应存在差异,这意味着保护策略必须极具针对性,不能一刀切。因此划线句表示“野生动物保护方案应当适配不同情况”。
D
Buildings contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, particularly during the production of materials like cement. Traditional concrete production is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon dioxide(CO₂). If we can switch to materials that not only reduce emissions but actually absorb CO₂, we can make a substantial difference in fighting climate change.
Now, a team of scientists at ETH Zurich has developed a remarkable new building material that contains living bacteria. These bacteria are specially selected to turn CO₂ from the air into solid minerals. While regular concrete releases CO₂ during production, this material absorbs it, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Inside the material, the bacteria are fed nutrients, including calcium. When they“eat”, they react with CO₂ in the air to produce solid calcium carbonate. This process is similar to how seashells form in nature. Over time, the bacteria help the material grow stronger while trapping more CO₂. The scientists made the material porous(透气的), with numerous tiny holes, which give bacteria plenty of room to live and allow air to pass through so that the bacteria can capture CO₂ efficiently.
Beyond its carbon-capturing ability, this material offers other benefits. Its production consumes less energy than regular concrete and is sustainable. The bacteria also require no special care— only a small amount of food and suitable conditions. If a piece breaks, it can heal(愈合) itself. The bacteria can repair small breaks by producing more calcium carbonate, just as skin heals a cut. This self-repair ability helps buildings last longer and requires less maintenance.
The research team is still perfecting their creation. They aim to make sure the material is strong enough for real-world applications and determine the best ways to produce it on a large scale. There are also questions about how the bacteria will behave over many years and in different climates. Still, the early results are very promising. This living building material could offer a win-win solution: helping to build the cities of tomorrow while also cleaning up the air today.
12. What is stressed in the first paragraph?
A. The production of concrete. B. The need for green materials.
C. The causes of climate change. D. The ways of emission reduction.
13. Why is the new building material special?
A. It consists of solid minerals. B. It traps CO₂ and absorbs it.
C. It contains nutrient-free bacteria. D. It emits zero CO₂ during production.
14. Why does the author mention “skin heals a cut” in paragraph 4?
A. To show the similar function. B. To stress daily maintenance.
C. To explain chemical reactions. D. To describe suitable conditions.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Self-Repairing Eco-Friendly Bacteria
B. Promising Action for Climate Change
C. A Living CO₂-Trapping Building Material
D. An Energy-Saving Alternative for Building
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If we can switch to materials that not only reduce emissions but actually absorb CO₂, we can make a substantial difference in fighting climate change.(如果我们能改用既能减排又能吸收二氧化碳的材料,我们就能在应对气候变化方面取得巨大成效。)”可知,第一段重点强调我们急需环保新型建材。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These bacteria are specially selected to turn CO₂ from the air into solid minerals. While regular concrete releases CO₂ during production, this material absorbs it, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.(这些经过特殊筛选的细菌能将空气中的二氧化碳转化为固态矿物质。普通混凝土在生产过程中会释放二氧化碳,而这种新材料可以吸收二氧化碳,助力减少温室气体排放。)”可知,这种新型建材的独特之处是捕获并吸收二氧化碳。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The bacteria can repair small breaks by producing more calcium carbonate, just as skin heals a cut.(这些细菌可以通过生成更多碳酸钙修复细小裂缝,就像皮肤愈合伤口一样。)”可知,作者拿皮肤愈合伤口举例,是为说明新材料拥有与之相似的自我修复功能。
【15题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah lived in a crowded neighbourhood. Grey seemed to be the only colour there. There were no parks for children. The air always smelled bad. From her window, Sarah had a constant view of an abandoned piece of land. The ground was covered with old tyres (轮胎), broken glass, and plastic bags. People called it “the dead yard”. No one cared about it. It seemed impossible for anything beautiful to grow in such a dark place.
There was nowhere to go, and no safe place for children to play. People just stayed inside their small apartments all day. Except for a quick “hello”, the neighbours rarely talked or visited each other. They lived so close, but they were so far apart.
One rainy Saturday, Sarah read an article about “Tiny Forests”. The article taught people how to make a real forest in a small city yard. It said if you planted many native trees very close together, their roots would help each other. They grew ten times faster than normal forests. These tiny forests could cool the busy streets, reduce noise, and bring back birds and butterflies. The article even gave a step-by-step guide to getting permission from the city government.
Sarah looked at the colourful photos of green leaves in the article. Then she looked down at “the dead yard”. The contrast was sharp and painful. She had a bold (大胆的) idea. She decided to turn this forgotten corner into a shared garden for the community.
The journey was far from easy. After months of effort, Sarah finally received permission.
Sarah was very excited. But when she walked into the dead yard, her smile stopped. She looked at the heavy tyres, the dirty metal, and the big mountain of rubbish. She realised that she could never finish this hard work alone. She turned to ask her neighbors for help. Unfortunately, few were willing to join. Most looked on doubtfully. Some even tried to discourage her. “Don’t waste your time,” one neighbour said coldly, “This is the dead yard. Nothing can grow well here.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ignoring their doubts, Sarah started to work on her own.

【答案】
Ignoring their doubts, Sarah started to work on her own. She showed up at the dead yard every weekend, dragging away worn tyres and picking up sharp broken glass with gloves. Tired as she often was, she never abandoned her plan. She carefully bought native saplings following the guide from the article and dug holes one by one in the tough soil. Some curious neighbours would pause to watch her steady work from their windows, gradually shaking off their previous disbelief. A few of them even secretly brought useful gardening tools down to the yard on weekends.
More neighbours joined in and “the dead yard” slowly came alive. Adults cleared leftover rubbish together while kids happily watered young trees and planted small flowers. Before long, lush leaves spread across the formerly dirty land, attracting lively butterflies and singing birds. The tiny forest brought fresh air to the neighbourhood. Neighbours often chatted when tending plants there, building warm bonds with each other. The once hopeless dead yard had turned into a lovely shared oasis, making everyone’s daily life far brighter.
