19、xpression of the same things.I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryans class.

20、in Ryans class at Beck Center. Keira said, “The best part of Side by Side, was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit.

26、tually be named the largest recorded freshwater fish. For Zeb Hogan, whos been documenting large freshwater fishes for almost two decades, the discovery of the stingray, which was released alive back into the river, filled him with hope. “It proves these underwater big fish, which are in critical da
27、nger, still exist, says Hogan.Hogans pursuit for big fish, called the Megafishes Project and supported by National Geographic Society , began in 2005 when fishermen in northern Thailand pulled a 646-pound cafish out of the Mekong River. The species is known that it was the largest, that is, the heav
28、iest-ever caught in the area. Arriving at the island, the team found Thuns fish, a female that appeared to be in good health. It was more than 13 feet from nose to tail. The researchers were shocked to see her weight at 661 pounds. She set a new world record. The original aim of the Megafishes Proje
29、ct was to find, study, and protect the worlds largest freshwater fishes. The project focused on species that could grow to at least the size of a human and that lived only in freshwater.Hogan initially drew up a list of roughly 30 species to focus on.The challenge, as Hogan soon learned, was that ma
30、ny of these fish are hard to find. They live in remote, inaccessible places, and often in deep waters. Early on in the search, there were relatively few scientists studying them.What was clear was that the river giants were shrinking in number, threatened by a host of factors including overfishing,
31、water pollution, and the presence of dams, which block migrating fish from completing their life cycles. As Hogans work progressed, its focus increasingly turned to conservation. “It was never about just finding the biggest fish,” Hogan says, “but looking for ways to protect these extraordinary anim
32、als that, in some cases, have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years but are now drifting out of entities.”28. Why was Zeb Hogan full of hope?A. Freshwater fishes werent in danger.B.

35、ective language learning applications allow mobile users to study a new language anywhere and anytime, Shawn Loewen, a professor at Michigan State University (MSU), recently conducted a study focusing on a popular language learning app and e-learning platform first launched in 2007, to see if it rea
36、lly worked at teaching a new language.“Despite the fact that millions globally are already using language learning apps, there is a lack of published research on their effect on speaking skills, ” Loewen said. “Actually there are no other studies that have researched mobile language learning apps in
37、 this way. Therefore, this study makes an important contribution to the field. ”In the study, which is published in Foreign Language Annals, 85 undergraduate students at MSU used the app tor 12 weeks to learn Spanish. At the beginning of the study, the students took a pretest to examine their existi
38、ng oral proficiency (熟练),vocabulary and grammar in Spanish. After 12 weeks, the 54 students who completed all study requirements took the same test again to see how much knowledge they had gained.The study showed that nearly all the students improved in their Spanish language knowledge and ability t
39、o communicate. “The result proves that using the app can advance the development of oral communication skills and not just grammar and vocabulary, as a previous study had shown,” Loewen said.As one might expect, learning gains were related to the amount of time students used. The more time the learn
40、ers used, the more progress they made. Also, no matter how convenient and effective a language learning app may be, what might be the most important is that learners stick with it.32. What can we know about the app mentioned in the text?A. It creates job opportunities for language learners.B. It con
41、ducts e-learning research.C. It offers language learning.D. It publishes research results.33. What does Loewens study focus on?A. Speaking.B. Vocabulary.C. Reading.D. Grammar.34. How is the study carried out?A. By studying previous studies.B. By researching applications.C. By completing interviews.D
42、. By doing experiments.35. What is the best title for the text?A. The great importance of foreign languagesB. A study of a language learning appC. A way to learn a languageD. The importance of learning a language第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Food safety monitor
43、ing could be more effectiveHow can we make food safety monitoring as effective as possible with the available resources? This is the central topic of the inaugural (就职的) address of professor Klerx on October 20, 2022. _36_Food safety is under pressure_37_ However, there are all kinds of developments
44、 that put this safety under pressure. For example, due to climate changes, the presence of pesticide remaining and natural toxins may increase. Other potential chemical and microbiological risks also exist.Risk-based and cost-effective monitoringKlerx states that not all food products and ingredient
45、s can be checked for all possible food safety risks. _38_ So choices have to be made. One way to do this is to apply risk-based monitoring. This means that sampling and testing focus on those products and risks that pose the greatest risk to human and animal health._39_ Which samples and which amoun
46、ts will you analyse to achieve the highest impact with your monitoring program? In this context, her calculations made in the Netherlands show that approximately 90 fewer samples can be taken each year without reducing the effectiveness of the monitoring._40_In the hope of expanding research into co
47、st-effective monitoring of food safety risks, Klerx combines the research areas of economics and food safety. The chair focuses on risk-based and cost-effective sampling and analysis plans for food safety risks in feed and food production chains. The chair thus contributes to making the decisions th
48、at need to be made more apparent, objective, and more scientific.A. Combining food safety and economyB. Monitoring safety in food production chainsC. Moreover, the transition to a circular economy is a point of attention.D. Food in the Netherlands and Europe has never been as safe as it is today.E. In addition, you can make choices based on cost-effective monitoring.F. And the list of possible safety risk
