17、ign land?

18、as trying to build. When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt
19、 more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers. To make sure it wasnt just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, flue
20、ncy dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because thats literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means. When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture
21、 would change how they look at the photo.

CMany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. B
26、ut here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Ryan Kelly is an ecologis
27、t at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the genetic material released by living creatures. “Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air and in our case water, and we can sequ
28、ence（to arrange the order of genes）the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.”Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” That makes DNA testing more widely availabl
29、e.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biolog
30、ists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it.“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all k
31、inds of surveys.”Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.“Were absolutely at this
32、 point where proof-of-concept has been established. I dont think everyone necessarily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are.”This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the
33、last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases.Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction
34、, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Gol
35、dberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal governments threatened species list.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field wo
36、rk could soon be more targeted.A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.29. Paragraph One is intended as_ of the passage.A. the main ideaB. the introduction of the topicC. a supporting detail of the main ideaD. a contr
37、ast of the main idea30. What has made E-DNA magic is that with E-DNA_. A. you are likely to find information about a species with a little air, water, or soil B. some kind of high-tech device can be used to test for breathable air or signs of life C. you are able to get answers more efficiently, saf
38、ely though with more damage D. the cost of gene sequencing has been reduced greatly in recent years.31.

39、of the New Zealand mud-snail DWhen my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimms Fairy Tales and read Snow White to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow Whites stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.This came as something of a shock. I
40、 always thought fairytales had happy endings.
