SCIENCE NEEDS YOU!
Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working
towards a common goal. Very often, citizen scientists collect, report or analyse data. What makes a citizen
scientist?
Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a
citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. There’s
no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion.
How to get involved?
If you have a particular hobby, interest or expertise there’s almost certainly a project you can join.
Search online for citizen science projects and pick out the ones you like. It could be observing insects, migratory
birds, even plates movements; all you have to do is to record and hand in observations. You can use your laptop or
even your smartphone to do this — easy!
Here is an opportunity from NASA:
Space Cloud Watch
What you’ll do
Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (
◆
夜光云) and shoot them.
Upload your photos and observations to a website to contribute to research on Earth’s middle atmosphere.
◆
Take notes when noctilucent clouds are absent, so you can report that too!
◆
Requirements
Time: 10-20 minutes
◆
Equipment: Camera, smartphone or GPS receiver
◆
Knowledge: No prior knowledge necessary
◆
1. Who can be a citizen scientist?

Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard
had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a
stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she
would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me
differently?”
After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced
herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only
did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a
walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued
to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and
dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line
dancing class.
After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she
was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the
administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012,
Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited.
She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more
than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In
her classes, the students could truly be themselves.
4. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment?
A. She had a lot of housework to do.
B. She had to attend her son at home.
C. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents.
5. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick?
A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it.
B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity.
C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool.
D. She valued it as something special.
6. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first?
A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes.
B. They were concerned about the students’ safety.
C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well.
D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people.
7. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her?
A. Humor and patience.
B. Intelligence and honesty.
C. Imagination and creativity.
D. Self-respect and self-reliance.
C
Cities are often hotter than surrounding areas, a phenomenon known as the heat island effect. Recently, scientists
have discovered a similar phenomenon related to rainfall which is called the “urban (城市) rainfall effect”. It means
that cities tend to receive more rain than nearby rural (农村) areas. “This is everywhere,” said Dev Niyogi, a professor
at the University of Texas at Austin. This difference in rainfall has also grown over the last twenty years as the climate
continues to warm.
This effect influences all cities, especially dense and rapidly growing ones, many of which already struggle with
flooding. Cities can attract rain for several reasons. First, large buildings slow down incoming storms, allowing them
to release rain. In addition, the heat from buildings and roads creates warm, moist air that rises, cools, and then falls
as rain. “All these factors may contribute to the urban rainfall anomaly (异常现象),” said Xinxin Sui, a graduate
student involved in the research. In the United States, cities such as Houston, Miami, and New Orleans are among
the most affected and have experienced severe flooding in the past.
For their study, the scientists used satellite data to examine rainfall in over 1,000 cities from 2001 to 2020. They
found that nearly two-thirds of these cities receive more rain than nearby rural areas. This effect has almost doubled
in the past two decades, partly due to urban expansion and rising temperatures. Warmer air can hold more moisture,
making rainfall heavier. The researchers also found that the bigger a city’s population is, the larger the gap in rainfall
amounts between urban and rural areas.
Niyogi suggests that city planners should take these findings seriously and prepare for the increased rainfall to
prevent flooding. At the same time, cities have an opportunity to better manage water resources by redirecting extra
rainwater underground to refill groundwater supplies for future use. “We should think more about how we want to
manage our water resources,” he said, as “there is an opportunity here.”
8. What do we know about the urban rainfall effect?
A. It only happens in a few large cities.
B. It has remained unchanged in recent years.
C. It means cities receive more rain than nearby areas.
D. It causes cities to become cooler than nearby areas.
9. Why did the author mention Houston, Miami, and New Orleans in paragraph 2?
A. To compare their rainfall with other cities.
B. To explain how these cities prevent flooding.
C. To show that these cities are the largest in the US.
D. To give examples of cities influenced by increased rainfall.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The causes of temperature rise in cities.
B. The research findings on urban rainfall.
C. The differences between small and large cities.
D. The ways the scientists collected research data.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. City planners are ignoring the problem of flooding.
B. Increasing rainfall can be turned into something useful.
C. Groundwater supplies are already enough in most cities.
D. Cities will no longer face groundwater shortages in the future.
D
“I just need you to validate (认可) my feelings.” It’s a phrase constantly heard — and it reveals something
fascinating about our cultural moment. Validation has become the currency of care, the thing we believe we need
most from others. But what if the deepest human need is to know we matter — regardless of whether others see
things our way?
Validation came into psychology as a corrective tool. In the mid-20th century, Carl Rogers advocated
empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, reacting against then mainstream practice, which often
interpreted, corrected, or reframed clients’ experiences. To him, validation meant: your feelings exist, they make
sense within your internal world, and they deserve to be heard.
However, as psychological language migrated into (融入) popular culture, validation gradually detached from
its clinical roots. It changed into a broader moral expectation: if I feel something, others should validate it. This
shift has had profound consequences and validation becomes an exhausting test, a relational chore, a skill to
perform.
In fact, what most of us are really looking for when we fish for validation is being valued. Being valued does
not depend on moment-to-moment agreement, nor does it require constant confirmation. Being valued means being
seen as a whole person and accepted regardless of the experience one is having.
When someone is valued, they can be corrected without being devalued; they can be disagreed with without
feeling rejected. A parent who values their child can say, “I love you, and I’m not buying you that toy.” Validation
may ease an emotional state, but being valued shapes the self. Validation can be spoken; value is felt.
The exit from endless validation-seeking is clear: learn to distinguish between having emotions and being
defined. A mature sense of worth comes from internalized experiences of being valued: by others first, and
eventually by yourself. It grows when you can reflect on your emotions, differentiate past from present, and remain
solid even when your perceptions are challenged. This is what allows both connection and growth.
12. Why did Carl Rogers stand for validation?
A. To follow mainstream opinion.
B. To correct patients’ conclusions.
C. To make validation a destination.
D. To value clients’ inner experience.
13. What does the underlined “this shift” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The unwillingness to reflect.
B. The fear of moral expectation.
C. The enthusiasm for popular culture.
D. The strong desire for full agreement.
14. What does the author agree with about being valued?
A. It helps construct self-concept.
B. It provides constant agreement.
C. It offers psychological security.
D. It avoids various forms of correction.
15. What enables people’s connection and growth?
A. The constant challenge of validation.
B. The pursuit of a realistic sense of self.
C. A rejection of internalized experiences.
D. A changeable and questioning mindset.

Poyang Lake: A Paradise for Migratory (迁徙的) Birds
On a viewing platform at Poyang Lake, a group of students are excitedly watching thousands of birds flying and
resting in the wetlands. This lively scene is the result of China’s great efforts in wetland protection.
Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake, serves as a vital stop on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.
Every winter, about 700,000 birds of nearly 400 species stay here. This includes most of the world’s Siberian white
cranes (白鹤). ____16____ For these migratory birds, the long journey starts in northeast China, passes through
many wetlands, and finally ends at this warm lake.
To protect the lake and its wildlife, many effective measures have been taken. The reserve now uses high-
definition cameras, drones, and AI technology to monitor birds 24 hours a day. ____17____ And this technology
helps rangers spot sick birds or illegal activities quickly.
____18____ A complete fishing ban and strict pollution rules have greatly improved the water quality. The
government has also set aside specific areas for the birds to find food. With more fish and plants in the lake, the birds
now have enough food to survive the winter.
Local communities also play an important role. In the past, some villagers made a living by fishing or farming
near the lake, which disturbed the birds. ____19____ Many former fishermen have become bird watchers or tour
guides. They now realize that a healthy lake brings more visitors and a better life.
International support is also key to this success. Projects supported by global organizations train workers and
show that protection and development can go together. ____20____ The return of rare birds proves that years of
hard work have finally paid off.
A. Now, the situation has completely changed.
B. This lake is not just a resting place, but an important destination for their survival.
C. As a result, the number of tourists visiting the lake has dropped sharply.
D. Many countries along the flyway have joined hands to protect the habitats.
E. This advanced system collects data without disturbing birds.
F. However, technology is not the only solution.
G. Nevertheless, the water quality in the lake is still getting worse.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The day had finally arrived. For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the
annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses.
The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on
“FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya loved herbs. She made candles that smelled like flowers with used
jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets ( 手链) from online courses. I later
contributed painted wooden keychains.
Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down
to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee.
Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan. We jumped for joy in the hallway.
We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed
to sell that many items to repay the loan.
“Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her.
But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth
(摊位) named “Game On” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery”
had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance.
“Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I
disagreed.
The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the
two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go.
Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks
of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke.
