• 2．I grew up in Algeria and as a female，I've had to pay an extra price throughout my scientific journey as a result.I knew studying abroad would be key to my success，so I was extremely excited when I won a scholarship to attend a British university for graduate school.But there was one condition：I needed to take an English test.I was fluent in Arabic and French，the languages spoken in Algeria，but I didn't have a solid grasp of English.I learned it hard but didn't score high enough to secure entrance.I had to stay in Algeria to complete a master's degree instead.But I kept learning English on my own.Two years later，I earned a Ph.D.scholarship to study in Switzerland.
     Midway through my Ph.D. ，a professor remarked， "You are quite productive，but why don't you publish in the regular journals in our field？" Shocked，I responded， "What do you mean by regular journals？" He gave a few examples of all journals dominated by researchers from the Global North.I had been publishing my papers in specialized，low-impact journals.That was counted as a great achievement in my home country，where even professors struggle to get published.Now，I realized that the scientific accomplishments abroad I was proud of were regarded as below average at best.The professor's comment heartened me to adjust my research to address issues of broader interest.By the time I graduated，I had started publishing in so-called "regular" journals，which helped me land a postdoctoral degree in Canada.
     I told all this to the members of my lab，adding that they were privileged to grow up speaking English and have access to tremendous expertise and funding.Facing global inequities，I've started to try using a preprint server to integrate an English language proofing（校对）system into its platform，which would connect authors who need language help.We can take steps to make the global scientific community more inclusive.And I want to be part of that push for change.

• 3．In autumn 2021，as leaders from across the globe gathered on Glasgow to talk about the impact of human-caused climate change，a group of artists，architects and researchers in Australia came a way to document the planet's end by storing data in a massive metal stone in Tasmania.Known as Earth's Black Box，the project，equal parts art installation and time capsule，aims to document the physical changes caused by global warming and humanity's geopolitical response to them.
     The installation's name is a nod to a common aviation practice.The commercial airplane and private aircraft are equipped with a "black box"，a mechanism that automatically logs important flight details like altitude，airspeed and equipment functionality.These boxes，which are usually bright orange rather than black，are designed to withstand extreme temperatures as well as immense amounts of force and pressure.They are sometimes the only objects that survive a plane crash intact，allowing investigators to reconstruct a timeline of what went wrong in the aftermath.
     Earth's Black Box draws inspiration from these mechanisms.The vault（穹顶）will be made from specially designed，3-inch-thick reinforced steel，chosen for its resistance to fire and water damage as well as its toughness and firmness.Along with the University of Tasmania and a collective of artists，an Australian communications firm plans to build the 33-foot-long vault in a remote part of western Tasmania.They chose the location for its relative geological and geopolitical stability.Unlike an airplane's flight recorder，however，Earth's Black Box is not meant to withstand total planetary destruction.If Earth were to somehow explode，for instance，it probably wouldn't survive.Instead，the artists and data scientists behind the project think of it as a way to log the progression of Earth's current ecological collapse，which is already profoundly changing the environment.
     "At its core，the box is intended to be a symbol of the disastrous situation we find ourselves in，" says Curtis，an expert on the project. "And more importantly，it's intended to hold our leaders to account by being an unmissable structure that reminds them that their actions or inaction will be recorded for generations to come."
  
  （1）What is the purpose of Earth's Black Box？

  
  A．To keep a record.
  B．To perform monitoring.
  C．To handle downloads.
  D．To make predictions.
  （2）What does the underlined word "intact" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Bright and colorful.
  B．Inactive and disconnected.
  C．Complete and undamaged.
  D．Important and multifunctional.
  （3）How is the steel used to build the Earth's Black Box's vault？

  
  A．Leaky，tough and firm.
  B．Hot，breakable and explosive.
  C．Water-resistant，heat-resisting and solid.
  D．Damp，physically stable and eco-friendly.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Global Leaders Are Aiming at Global Warming
  B．Human-caused Climate Change Is Having a Big Impact
  C．Earth's Black Box Can Save Us from Disastrous Situations
  D．Earth's Black Box Warns of Its End Due to Climate Change

      Last summer vacation，I went to Beijing with my parents to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
      Early in the morning we got up and headed Tian'anmen Square.It was beyond your imagination that there had been a lot of people gathering there，most of whom were teenager.We did nothing but to wait for the event like others after choosing a appropriate watching position.What eagerly I wished there came the grand and inspired moment soon!Ten minutes later，it was the most exciting time that I have experienced ever since.
      From stepping ahead to raising the national flag，the PLA showed dignity or firmness.Seeing the flag flying，we couldn't help sing the national anthem.
