But ecologistscan t be everywhere so they re turto non-scientists, so

2、metimes called citizen scientists, for help.Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, they re asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movemen

3、t encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific research interest birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able

4、to gather on their own. Much like citizenjournalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat2, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All that neseded to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it3 in.A group of scientists and e

5、ducators launched an organization last year called theNational Phenology4Network. “ Phenology i”s what scientists call the study of thetiming of events in nature.One of the group s first efforts relies on scientists an-dscnieontists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year.

6、 The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project which is open to everyone record their observations on the Project Bud Burst website.“ People don t have to be plant expertsthey just have

9、r-local news， 指的是被傳統(tǒng)新聞報道方式所忽略的小型社區(qū)或居民居住區(qū)里發(fā)生的相關(guān)信息報道。在美國由此而誕生了 hyper- local news websites，專門對主流媒體沒有覆蓋的地區(qū)所發(fā)生的事件進行報道，其形式多以網(wǎng)民，即短文中所提及的citizen journalists，上傳所在社區(qū)發(fā)生的事件報道、照片或視頻為主。這是網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代產(chǎn)生的又一種新生事物。3. data 是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但常用作單數(shù)，所以這里的代詞是 it 。另參見最后一段：“ As we collect this data這里的”data 也用作單數(shù)。4. phenology：物候?qū)W或生物氣候?qū)W，是氣候?qū)W和生態(tài)

14、s the United States.D To investigate how plants and animals will respond as the climate changes第三篇： Citizen Scientists答案與題解：1.C 第一段和第二段第一句告訴我們，要在世界范圍觀察氣候?qū)Υ笞匀恢猩锏纳芷诘挠绊?，?shù)量有限的科學(xué)家不可能足跡遍及天下，為此科學(xué)家求助于普通公民的參與。所以 C 是正確選擇。2.B 第二段第三句中 encourage ordinary people to observe ···的主語是 The citizen sc

15、ientist movement,即公民參與科學(xué)觀察的運動。所以 D 不是正確選擇。 A 和 C 不符合文章的句意，因此也不是正確的選擇。這個句子的大意是：這一運動鼓勵普通公民根據(jù)自己的興趣愛好進行科學(xué)觀察，并將觀察結(jié)果送交數(shù)據(jù)庫，讓專門領(lǐng)域的科學(xué)家作進一步的觀察。 B 正確表達了這個意思。3.Bone 在這里是一個代詞，其前置詞是citizenscientists,而不是 citizen journalists, 這里的 one 指的是 one of citizen scientists 。所以， A 、C 和 D 都不是正確選擇。這個句子的意思是， 只要每天或每星期花上幾分鐘收集數(shù)據(jù)并發(fā)送

16、出去， 就能成為一個公民科學(xué)家。4.A文章最后一段說，這個計劃向所有的人開放(open to everyone),所以應(yīng)選擇 A 。B、C、D 所述內(nèi)容都在該段中提到。5.DC 表述的內(nèi)容是 Project BudBurst 所要做的工作， 但其最終目的不僅僅是收集數(shù)據(jù)，而是研究氣候變化對生物生命周期的影響。因此，D 才是正確選擇。第四篇： Compact Disks1 If someone says to you your music CDs don t really hold any music on thand they only have numbers recorded on the

17、m, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that sound is actually recorded onto the CDs as special numbers a digital code.1 The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps on a long spiral track almost fivekilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns wide.2 A small laser beam shines o

This lets the CD player2 turn the reflected light back into the original code. This means you can hear the original code as music.3 Digitalcodes are used with many technologies. E-
