25、ield trips STAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California.Each field trip lasts two hours,consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility,with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.Throughout the field trip,students
26、 learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems.The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife.The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways
27、students can help protect animals in the wild.Field trips are offered on weekdays only,from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.or 12 p.m.-2 p.m.The rate is$6 per visitor,both child and adult,with a$120 minimum.We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more.Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip

33、he way you walk Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home,and you can probably work out who is walking about.The features most commonly used to identify people are faces,voices and fingerprints.But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to a
34、nalyze peoples gaits,and are now quite good at it.But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky.Cameras are often visible,are difficult to set up,require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people.A team led by Dr.Ozanyan and Dr.Scully have be
35、en looking for a better way to recognize gait.Their answer:pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new.They have been part of security systems.But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it.These me
36、asurements form a pattern unique to the walker.The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns,and it seemed to work.In a study in 2018,they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people.They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a me
37、re 0.7%.And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with,the system can determine someone s sex and,with reasonable accuracy,a subjects age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care,particularly for the elderly.A mat placed in a nursing home or
38、 an old persons own residence could monitor changes in an individuals gait that indicates certain illnesses.That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace,monitoring access to restricted areas,
39、such as parts of military bases,server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats,though,would be in public places,such as airports.For that to work,the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database,which wou
40、ld be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on.Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.38.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph
41、2?A.Research equipment.B.Research findings.C.Research assumption.D.Research background.39.According to Paragraph 3,the mat is used to _.A.collect data B.ensure safety C.determine age D.analyse pressure 40.The gait-recognition system might be applied to _.A.monitor security work progress B.detect pot
42、ential health problems C.keep track of travelling frequency D.warn passengers of possible dangers 41.The main purpose of the passage is to _.A.compare and educate B.examine and assess C.discuss and persuade D.explain and inform D Overtourism:A growing global problem The summer holidays are in full s
43、wingand protests against overtourism have begun in a number of popular European cities.Barcelona,in particular,is at the centre of these mounting concerns about the rapid growth of tourism in cities,especially during peak holiday periods.In fact,there were 30 million overnight visitors in 2017,compa
44、red to a resident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.While many tourists want to“live like a local”during their visits,the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops,crowds,tour b
45、uses and noisy bars.Overtourism is harming the landscape,damaging beaches,and pricing residents out of the housing market.It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified.It can have an impact in multiple ways.The international cruise(游轮)industry,for example,delivers thousands of passengers
46、 daily to destination ports.While comparatively little is returned to communities,cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution.City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth.As cities transform to offer service to tourists,the global travel supply chain advances.This goes with increasi
47、ng property speculation(房产投机)and rising costs of living for local communities.Airbnb,for example,has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents.In addition,overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses,such as clubs,bars and souvenir shops,over
48、power local businessesand noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common.This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures.Clearly,tourism brings jobs,investment and economic benefits to destinations.But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails
49、to acknowledge that there are limits.Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain.This has led to widespread“tourist-phobia”first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of reje
50、ction,mistrust and disrespect for tourists.Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority.Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task.But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism,including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrang
