The weather in Texas may have cooled since the recent extreme heat, but the temperature will be high at the State Board of Education meeting in Austin this month as officials debate how climate change is taught in Texas schools.
Pat Hardy, who sympathized with views of the energy sector, is resisting the proposed change to science standards for pre-teen pupils. These would emphasise the primacy of human activity in recent climate change and encourage discussion of mitigation measures.
Most scientists and experts sharply dispute Hardy’s views. “They casually dismiss the career work of scholars and scientists as just another misguided opinion.” says Dan Quinn, senior communications strategist at the Texas Freedom Network, a non-profit group that monitors public education，“What millions of Texas kids learn in their public schools is determined too often by the political ideology of partisan board members, rather than facts and sound scholarship.”
Such debate reflects fierce discussion discussions across the US and around the world, as researchers, policymakers, teachers and students step up demands for a greater focus on teaching about the facts of climate change in schools.
A study last year by the National Center for Science Education, a non-profit group of scientists and teachers, looking at how state public schools across the country address climate change in science classes, gave barely half of US states a grade B+ or higher. Among the 10 worst performers were some of the most populous states, including Texas, which was given the lowest grade (F) and has a disproportionate influence because its textbooks are widely sold elsewhere.
Glenn Branch, the centre’s deputy director, cautions that setting state-level science standards is only one limited benchmark in a country that decentralises decisions to local school boards. Even if a state is considered a high performer in its science standards, “that does not mean it will be taught”, he says.
Another issue is that while climate change is well integrated into some subjects and at some ages — such as earth and space sciences in high schools — it is not as well represented in curricula for younger children and in subjects that are more widely taught, such as biology and chemistry. It is also less prominent in many social studies courses.
Branch points out that, even if a growing number of official guidelines and textbooks reflect scientific consensus on climate change, unofficial educational materials that convey more slanted perspectives are being distributed to teachers. They include materials sponsored by libertarian think-tanks and energy industry associations.
21. In paragraph 1, the weather in Texas is mentioned to
A. forecast a policy shift in Texas schools.
B. stress the consequences of climate change
C. indicate the atmosphere at the board meeting
D. draw the public’s attention to energy shortages.
答案：C. indicate the atmosphere at the board meeting
22. What does Quinn think of Hardy?
A. she exaggerates the existing panic.
B. she denies the value of scientific work
C. she shows no concern for pre-teens.
D. she expresses self-contradictory views.
答案：B. She denies the value of scientific work.
23. The study mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. climate education is insufficient at state public schools.
B. policy makers have little drive for science education.
C. Texas is reluctant to rewrite its science textbooks.
D. environmental teaching in some states lacks supervision.
答案：A. Climate education is insufficient at state public school
24. According to Branch, state-level science standards in the UScall for regular revision require urgent application have limited influence cater to local needs
答案：C. have limited influence
25. It is implied in the last paragraph that climate change teaching in some schoolsagree to major public demandsreflects teachers’ personal biasmay misrepresent the energy sectorcan be swayed by external forces
答案：D. can be swayed by external forces

Communities throughout the region have been attempting to regulate short-term rentals since sites like Airbnb took off in the 2010s. Now, with record-high home prices and historically low inventory, there’s an increased urgency in such regulation, particularly among those who worry that developers will come in and buy up swaths of housing to flip for a fortune on the short-term rental market.
In New Hampshire, where the rental vacancy rate has dropped below 1 percent, housing advocates fear unchecked short-term rentals will put further pressure on an already strained market. The state Legislature recently voted against a bill that would’ve made it illegal for towns to create legislation restricting short-term rentals.
“We are at a crisis level on the supply of rental housing, so anytime you’re taking the tool out of the toolkit for communities to address this, you’re potentially taking supply off the market that’s already incredibly stressed,’’ said Nick Taylor, executive director of the Workforce Housing Coalition of the Greater Seacoast. Without enough affordable housing in southern New Hampshire towns, “employers are having a hard time attracting employees, and workers are having a hard time finding a place to live,’’ Taylor said.
However, short-term rentals also provide housing for tourists, a crucial part of the economies in places like Nantucket, Cape Cod, or the towns that make up New Hampshire’s Seacoast and Lakes Region, pointed out Ryan Castle, CEO of the Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors. “A lot of workers are servicing the tourist industry, and the tourism industry is serviced by those people coming in short term,’’ Castle said, “and so it’s a cyclical effect.’’
Short-term rentals themselves are not the crux of the issue, said Keren Horn, an affordable housing policy expert at the University of Massachusetts Boston. “I think individuals being able to rent out their second home is a good thing. If it’s their vacation home anyway, and it’s just empty, why can’t you make money off it?’’ Horn said. Issues arise, however, when developers attempt to create large-scale short-term rental facilities — de facto hotels — to bypass taxes and regulations. “I think the question is, shouldn’t a developer who’s really building a hotel, but disguising it as not a hotel, be treated and taxed and regulated like a hotel?’’ Horn said.
At the end of 2018, Governor Charlie Baker signed a bill to rein in those potential investor-buyers. “The bill requires every rental host to register with the state, mandates they carry insurance, and opens the potential for local taxes on top of a new state levy,’’ the Globe reported. Boston took things even further, limiting who is authorized to rent out their home, and requiring renters to register with the city’s Inspectional Services Department.
Horn said similar registration requirements could benefit other struggling cities and towns. The only way to solve the issue, however, is by creating more housing. “If we want to make a change in the housing market, the main one is we have to build a lot more.’’

26.Which of the following is true of New England?
A. Its housing supply is at a very low level.
27.The bill mentioned in the Paragraph 2 was intended to?
D. allow a free short-term rental market.
28 . Compared with Castle, Tailor is more likely to support?
B in increase in a affordable housing
29. What does Horn emphasize in paragraph 3?
C the necessity to stop developers from evading taxes.
30. Horn holds that imposing registration requirements is
D an inadequate solution.

If you’re heading for your nearest branch of Waterstones in search of the Duchess of Sussex’s new children’s book The Bench, you might have to be prepared to hunt around a bit; the same may be true of The President's Daughter, the new thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson. Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House, a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones.
The problem began late last year, when Penguin Random House confirmed that it had introduced a credit limit with Waterstones “at a very significant level”. The trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Waterstones branch managers were being told to remove PRH books from prominent areas such as tables, display spaces and windows, and were “quietly retiring them to their relevant sections”.
PRH declined to comment on the issue, but a spokesperson for Waterstones told me: “Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH, the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade. We are not boycotting PRH titles but we are doing our utmost to ensure that availability for customers remains good despite the lower overall levels of stock. We do this generally by giving their titles less prominent positioning within our bookshops. “We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately. Certainly, our shops are exceptionally busy and book sales are very strong. The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since 2018.”
In the meantime, PRH authors have been the losers - as have customers, who might expect the new titles from the country’s biggest publisher to be prominently displayed by its biggest book retailer. Big-name PRH authors may suffer a bit, but it’s those mid-list authors, who normally rely on Waterstones staff’s passion for promoting books by lesser-known writers, who will be praying for an end to the dispute.
It comes at a time when authors are already worried about the consequences of the proposed merger between PRH and another big publisher, Simon & Schuster - the reduction in the number of unaligned UK publishers is likely to lead to fewer bidding wars, lower advances, and more conformity in terms of what is published. And one wonders if PRH would have been confident enough to deal with Waterstones in the way it has if it weren’t quite such a big company (it was formed with the merger of Penguin and Random House in 2013) and likely to get bigger.
“This is all part of a wider change towards concentration of power and cartels. Literary agencies are getting bigger to have the clout to negotiate better terms with publishers, publishers consolidating to deal with Amazon,” says Lownie. “The publishing industry talks about diversity in terms of authors and staff but it also needs a plurality of ways of delivering intellectual contact, choice and different voices. After all, many of the most interesting books in recent years have come from small publishers.”
We shall see whether that plurality is a casualty of the current need among publishers to be big enough to take on all-comers.
31. the author mentions two books in the paragraph 1 to present ____
A. an ongoing conflict
B. an intellectual concept
C. a prevailing sentiment
D. a literary phenomenon
32. Why did Waterstones shops retire PRH books to their relevant sections?
A. to make them easily noticeable
B. to comply with PRH's requirement
C. to respond to PRH's business move
D. to arrange them in a systematic way
33. What message did the spokesman of Waterstones seem to convey?
A. their customers remain royal
B. the credit limit will be removed
C. their stock is underestimated
D. the book market is rather slack
34. What can be one consequence of the current dispute?
A Sales of books by mid-list PRH writers fall off considerably
B Lesser-known PRH writers become the target of criticism
C Waterstones staff hesitate to promote big-name author's books
D Waterstones branches suffer a severe reduction in revenue
35. Which of the following statements best represents Lownie`s view?
A Small publishers ought to stick together
B Big publishers will lose their dominance
C The publishing industry is having a hard time
D The merger of publishers is a worrying trend

Scientific papers are the recordkeepers of progress in research. Each year researchers publish millions of papers in more than 30,000 journals. The scientific community measures the quality of those papers in a number of ways, including the perceived quality of the journal (as reflected by the title’s impact factor) and the number of citations a specific paper accumulates. The careers of scientists and the reputation of their institutions depend on the number and prestige of the papers they produce, but even more so on the citations attracted by these papers.
In recent years, there have been several episodes of scientific fraud, including completely made-up data, massaged or doctored figures, multiple publications of the same data, theft of complete articles, plagiarism of text, and self-plagiarism. And some scientists have come up with another way to artificially boost the number of citations to their work.
Citation cartels, where journals, authors, and institutions conspire to inflate citation numbers, have existed for a long time. In 2016, researchers developed an algorithm to recognize suspicious citation patterns, including groups of authors that disproportionately cite one another and groups of journals that cite each other frequently to increase the impact factors of their publications. Recently, I came across yet another expression of this predatory behavior: so-called support service consultancies that provide language and other editorial support to individual authors and to journals sometimes advise contributors to add a number of citations to their articles and the articles of colleagues. Some of these consultancies are also active in organizing conferences and can advise that citations be added to conference proceedings. In this manner, a single editor can drive hundreds of citations in the direction of his own articles or those of colleagues that may be in his circle.
How insidious is this type of citation manipulation? In one example, an individual—acting as author, editor, and consultant—was able to use at least 15 journals as citation providers to articles published by five scientists at three universities. The problem is rampant in Scopus, which includes a high number of the new “international” journals. In fact, a listing in Scopus seems to be a criterion to be targeted in this type of citation manipulation.
36 According paragraph1, the careers of scientists can be determined by________
A how many citations their works contain
B how many times their papers are cited
C the prestige of the people they work with
D the status they have in scientific circles
37 The support service consultancies tend to _________.
A recommended journals to their clients
B list citation patterns for their clients
C ask authors to include extra citation
D advise contributors to cite each other
38 the function of the milk cow to journals is to ________.
A boost citation counts for certain authors
B help scholars publish articles at low cost
C instruct first time contributors in citation
D increase the readership of new journals
39. What can be learned about Scopus from the last two paragraph?
[A] It fosters competition among citation providers
[B] It has the capability to identify suspicious citation
[C]It hinders the growth of international journals
[D]It is established to prevent citation manipulation
40. What should an author do to deal with citation manipulation?
[A]Take legal action
[B]Demand an apology
[C]Seek professional advice
[D]Reveal their misconduct
Reading Part B
A. Last year marks the 150th anniversary of a series of Yellowstone photographs by the renowned landscape photographer William Henry Jackson. He captured the first-ever shots of iconic landmarks such as the Tetons, Old Faithful and the Colorado Rockies.
B. Two centuries ago, the idea of preserving nature, rather than exploiting it, was a novel one to many U.S. settlers. One of the turning points in public support for land conservation efforts — and recognizing the magnificence of the Yellowstone region in particular — came in the form of vivid photographs.
C As an effective Washington operator, Hayden sensed that he could capitalize on the expedition’s stunning visuals. He asked Jackson to print out large copies and distributed them, along with reproductions of Moran’s paintings, to each member of Congress. “The visualization, particularly those photographs, really hit home that this is something that has to be protected,” says Murphy.
D Though Native Americans (and later miners and fur trappers) had long recognized the area’s riches, most Americans did not. That’s why Hayden’s expedition aimed to produce a fuller understanding of the Yellowstone River region, from its hot springs and waterfalls to its variety of flora and fauna. In addition to the entourage of scientists, the team also included artists: Painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson were charged with capturing this astounding natural beauty and sharing it with the world.
E The journey officially began in Ogden, Utah, on June 8,1871. Over nearly four months, dozen of man made their way on horseback into Montana and traversed along the Yellowstone River and around Yellowstone lake. That fall, they concluded the survey in fort Bridger, Wyoming
F Though Native Americans (and later miners and fur trappers) had long recognized the area's riches, most Americans did not. That's why Hayden's expedition aimed to produce a fuller understanding of the yellowstone river region, from it's hot springs and waterfalls to its variety of flora and fauna. In addition to the entourge of scientists, the team also included artists : Painter Thomas Moran and photographer Jackson were charged with capturing this astounding natural beauty and sharing it with the world.
G The bill proved largely popular and sailed through Congress with large majorities in favor. In quick succession, the Senate and House passed legislation protecting yellowstone in early 1872 . That March, President Ulysses S.Grant signed an act into law that established Yellowstone as the world's first national park. while some locals opposed to the designation, the decision was largely accepted-and Jackson's photos played a key role in the fight to protect the area. I don't believe that the legal protection would have happened in the timeframe that it did without those images , says Heather Hansen, journalist and author of Prophets and Moguls, Rangers and Rogues, Bisonord Bears : 100 years of the national Park Service.
H Perhaps most importantly, the images provided documentary evidence that later made its way to government officials. Weeks after completing the expedition, Hayden collected his team’s observation into an extensive rep aimed at convincing Senators and Representatives, along with colleagues at government agency like the department of Interior that Yellowstone ought to be preserved.

There has been some exploration around the use of AI in digital marketing. For example, AI can be used to analyse what type of advertising content or copy would be appropriate to 'speak' to a specific target customer group by revealing information about trends and preferences through the analysis of big data. (46) AI can also be used to identify the lifestyle choices of customers regarding their hobbies, favourite celebrities and fashions to provide unique content in marketing messages put out through social media. At the same time AI can also be used to generate content for social media posts and chat sites.AI can also provide a bridge between the need of the brand to communicate emotionally with the customer and identifying their rapidly changing needs.
The main disadvantage of using AI to respond to customers is that there are concerns about trusting personal interactions to machines, which could lead not only to the subsequent loss of interpersonal connections, but also to a decrease in marketing personnel. (47) Some believe that AI is negatively impacting on the marketer's role by reducing creativity and removing jobs, but they are aware that it is a way of reducing costs and creating new information. By allowing AI to develop content some brand marketers may find that they are losing control over the brand narrative. (48) Algorithms that are used to simulate human interactions are creating many of these concerns, especially as no-one is quite sure what the outcomes of using AI to interact with customers will be.
For AI to be successful, data needs to be accessible, but the use of personal data is becoming more regulated and the automated sharing of data is becoming more difficult. (49) If customers are not willing to share data, AI will be starved of essential information and will not be able to function effectively or employ machine learning to improve its marketing content and communication. Therefore, unless customers are prepared to sign release agreements, the use of AI may become somewhat restricted in the future. Not only can AI help to create the marketing content, but it can also provide a non-intrusive way of delivering the content to the target customers. Data can be gathered on where the customer can be engaged, such as location, devices used, website interactions, and sites visited, to display marketing messages inappropriate forms, including emails, social media posts, pop-up advertisements, and banners at an appropriate frequency. (50) The non-intrusive delivery of the marketing messages in a way that is sensitive to the needs of the target customer is one of the critical challenges to the digital marketer.
考研英語考什么
從2010年開始，全國碩士研究生入學(xué)考試的英語試卷分為了英語(一)和英語(二)。
英語(一)即原研究生入學(xué)統(tǒng)考“英語”，所有學(xué)術(shù)型碩士研究生(十三大門類，110個(gè)一級學(xué)科)和部分專業(yè)型碩士(法律碩士、臨床醫(yī)學(xué)碩士、口腔醫(yī)學(xué)碩士、建筑學(xué)碩士、護(hù)理碩士、漢語國際教育碩士、公共衛(wèi)生碩士等)必考英語(一)。
英語(二)主要是為高等院校和科研院所招收不考英語(一)的專業(yè)學(xué)位碩士研究生而設(shè)置的具有選拔性質(zhì)的統(tǒng)考科目。
考研英語一和二有什么區(qū)別
1.完形
總的來說，英語一的修辭是相當(dāng)?shù)拿芗⒄Z言較抽象，且邏輯性強(qiáng);而英語二的修辭則較為松散，但語言較為具體化，邏輯性不強(qiáng)。在完形填空這個(gè)模塊，英語一和英語二的題型和分值都完全相同。但是英語一的完形填空，著重從篇章的層次進(jìn)行考查，而英語二則著重從句子的層次進(jìn)行考查。
2.閱讀
閱讀這個(gè)模塊，英語一側(cè)重考查篇章層面，而英語二則側(cè)重考查段落層次。
3.新題型
新題型這塊，二者也不相同。英語一較為注重篇章的整體性和一致性，在做題的時(shí)候要從整體，上下文的角度分析、做題。英語二側(cè)重于從篇章層次考查，考生們在平時(shí)做題的時(shí)候要注重應(yīng)試方法和技能的訓(xùn)練。
4.翻譯
英語一和英語二在翻譯部分的題型和分值是不同的。英語一是在一篇文章中有五個(gè)劃線的句子，要求考生翻譯。這是超難的，因?yàn)檫@五個(gè)句子是長難句，最長的一句話可以有50多個(gè)單詞，包含很多語法。
文章的體裁較為正式，可能是考生不太熟悉的領(lǐng)域，我們很多時(shí)候還要結(jié)合上下文去理解、分析，但是考研英語的做題時(shí)間是很緊張的，很難做的比較完美。而英語二雖然要求考生翻譯一段話，但是這一段話的字?jǐn)?shù)和英語一的字?jǐn)?shù)差不多，而且包含的語法點(diǎn)較少，多為簡單句。文章的體裁較為簡單，形式較松散，不是那么正式。
5.寫作
在寫作A部分，即小作文部分，二者是差不多的，不過落款不同。英語一是Li Ming, 英語二的落款是Zhang Wei. 寫作B部分，英語一考查的是圖畫作文，英語二考查的是圖表作文。在寫作的時(shí)候，二者段不同，分別要求去描述圖畫或者是圖表;但二、三段都是一樣的，先去描述圖畫或圖表的引申含義，然后進(jìn)行總結(jié)就行。此外，英語一在這部分的分值是20分，字?jǐn)?shù)要求為160-200;而英語二的分值為15分，字?jǐn)?shù)要求不少于150詞。
