Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.New insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of N
52、onlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to
53、 save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications.In todays rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecasting are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such
54、predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing a loss of precious time.Hallers research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the oceans surface should gather along a
55、 few special curves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves cant be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that
56、 are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident.In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Marthas Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from th
57、e same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this w

While there is evidence that climate anxiety can be identified and reliably me
66、asured, whats less clear is how it relates to mental illness. Mental health providers across the world are noting the presence of climate anxiety in their patients; however, the degree to which it is influencing mental illness is not yet clear, though evidence addressing this question is slowly grow
67、ing. For years now, mental health clinicians have seen climate anxiety influencing presentations of mental illness in a variety of ways, some extreme. Recent studies are starting to look at links between climate anxiety and mental illness in larger samples to help better understand the directionalit
68、y of their relationship. In a U.S. survey of more than 340 people published in 2018, climate concerns were associated with depressive symptoms (症状). Ecological coping, which includes pro-environmental behaviors such as reducing energy consumption, appeared to be protective against depression, indica
69、ting that climate concerns and the poor coping skills used to address them could be causing depressive symptoms. So who might be more at risk of mental illness secondary to the uncertainties around climate change? Unsurprisingly, climate anxiety appears higher in individuals with more concern about
70、environmental issues at baseline and those already experiencing direct effects of climate change. Climatologists also face increased risk given their in-depth knowledge on the issue coupled with the upsetting task of trying to convey it to individuals and governments that often deny or downplay it.
71、People with high levels of neuroticism, a personality trait that increases susceptibility to mental illness, are also likely to be at high risk.Some individuals report adaptive responses to climate anxiety like adopting pro-environmental behaviors and participating in collective action, while others
72、 are unable to respond behaviorally at all. Its not yet clear how these varying reactions manifest (呈现) on a population level and how theyre influencing humanitys response to climate change. However, a recent survey of nearly 200 people found that, while climate anxiety was associated with an emotio
73、nal response to climate change, it was not correlated with a behavioral response.If this is true for humanity as a whole, we must urgently help motivate the anxious among us. Doing so successfully will require many approaches, such as delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) to the most seve
74、rely affected and demonstrating to entire populations that change is possible by better publicizing productive efforts by organizations to reduce their carbon footprints. We cant let climate anxiety stop us from responding to climate change, because now, more than ever, we need action, not inaction.

80、sive symptoms.”(在美国2018年公布的一项针对340多人的调查中,对气候的担忧与抑郁症状有关。生态应对,包括减少能源消耗等有利于环境的行为,似乎对抑郁症有保护作用,这表明气候担忧和处理这些问题的不当方法可能导致抑郁症。)可知,对气候的担忧与抑郁症状有关,气候担忧和处理这些问题的不当方法可能导致抑郁症。由此可知,通过前两段的内容我们可以得知,未能处理气候焦虑可能导致抑郁症状。故选C项。【32题详解】词义猜测题。上文介绍了未能处理气候焦虑可能导致抑郁症状,根据第三段关键句“Unsurprisingly, climate anxiety appears higher in indiv
81、iduals with more concern about environmental issues at baseline and those already experiencing direct effects of climate change.”(毋庸置疑,在基准状态下对环境问题更为关注的人和那些已经经历了气候变化直接影响的人中,气候焦虑似乎出现的比例更高。)可知,后文介绍的是由于气候变化,哪些人更容易患上气候焦虑。由此可知,画线短语所在句提出的问题是“由于气候变化的不确定性,谁更容易患上精神疾病呢?”“as a result of”意为“由于”,符合句意,能够表示画线短语的意思。
82、故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“If this is true for humanity as a whole, we must urgently help motivate the anxious among us. Doing so successfully will require many approaches, such as delivering cognitive-behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) to the most severely affected and demonstrating to entire populations
83、 that change is possible by better publicizing productive efforts by organizations to reduce their carbon footprints.”(如果这对整个人类来说是真的,我们必须紧急地帮助激励我们中间焦虑的人。成功地做到这一点需要许多方法,例如向受影响最严重的人提供认知行为疗法,并向全体民众表明,通过各组织更好地宣传为减少碳足迹所作的富有成效的努力,改变是可能的。)可知,要想帮助我们中间气候焦虑的人,可以通过向全体民众宣传减少碳足迹的方式,改变是可能的。由此可知,可能有效帮助焦虑者克服气候焦虑的方法
84、是让公众知道如何过上更环保的生活。故选D项。【34题详解】推理判断题。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现,未能处理气候焦虑可能导致抑郁症状。根据最后一段关键句“If this is true for humanity as a whole, we must urgently help motivate the anxious among us.”(如果这对整个人类来说是真的,我们必须紧急地帮助激励我们中间焦虑的人。)可知,作者在文章中呼吁人们必须紧急地帮助我们中间有气候焦虑的人。由此可知,这篇文章的目的是呼吁我们关心那些经历气候焦虑的人。故选D项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内

A survey across six countries found that flexible working was viewed very positively, improving both peoples work-life
102、balance and productivity. Flexible workers even scored more highly on a sense of “belonging” to their organization than those on a nine-to-five schedule.It is hardly surprising that workers prefer flexibility. Working a rigid eight-hour schedule is incredibly restricting. Those are also the hours wh

Parents on a conventional routine may be able to take their children to school in the morning but are unlikely to be able to pick them up in the afternoon. Many families find themselves

After all, few people have the ability to concentrate solidly for eight hours at a stretch. There are po
105、ints in the day where people want to stare out of the window or go for a walk; these may be moments when they find inspiration or recharge themselves for the next task. When they do this in an office, they risk the bosss disapproval; at home, they can work when they are most motivated.Of course, wor

108、derline it and explain why.Working remotely is viewed positively because it brings lots of benefits and it is perfect.43. As a student, what do you think of remote learning? (about 40 words)【答案】40. The number of hours they worked. 41. Peoples lives are greatly restricted by the fixed working hours.
109、42. Working remotely is viewed positively because it brings lots of benefits and it is perfect.According to the passage, remote working also has its drawbacks, such as making people lose all separation between work and home life, and making people feel stressed. 43. 言之有理即可【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自钟表发明之后,工
110、人的工资由工作时间来决定。又详细说明了固定工作时间的缺点及远程工作时间的优缺点。【40题详解】考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句中“With its arrival, people were paid on the basis of how many hours they worked(随着它的到来,人们的工资是根据他们的工作时间来支付的,)”可知,钟表出现之后,决定工人工资的是他们的工作时间,故答案为:The number of hours they worked.【41题详解】考查细节理解。划线句子是一个主系表结构,意为“严格的八小时工作时间表是难以置信的限制。”可推断,工人的生活被这种固定的
111、工作时间牢牢地限制住了,故答案为:Peoples lives are greatly restricted by the fixed working hours.【42题详解】考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段第一句“On reflection, it is not too shocking that home-workers feel they are more productive.(仔细想想,在家工作的人觉得自己的工作效率更高,这并不太令人震惊。)”及该段所述在家工作的好处可知,远程工作(在家工作)是非常受欢迎的一种工作方式,因为它带来了很多的益处;然而根据最后一段第一句话“Of course
112、, working remotely carries dangers(当然,远程工作也有危险)”可知,远程工作也有弊端,因此它并不是完美(perfect)的,所以该陈述中错误的部分是:perfect。最后一段中“people may lose all separation between work and home life, and are likely to be stressed.(人们可能会失去工作和家庭生活之间的所有分离,并可能会感到压力。)”列举出了远程工作的缺点。所以陈述理由为:According to the passage, remote working also has i
