Ever since I read Clearys series about Ralph, the motorcycleriding mouse, Ive never looked at a pingpong ballor the worldthe same way. Amazing to t

24、hink that its been more than forty years since I checked out The Mouse and the Motorcycle from my school library in Northport, and yet that one particular image is as clear to me as ever. And why shouldnt it be? Its perfect. How I wanted a mouse of my own to ride a toy motorcycle around my house! Th

25、anks to Clearys genius, a talking mouse friend seemed not only possible but probable. While much of childrens literature attempted to explain the world from the point of view of a wise and gentle adult, Cleary created characters who saw the world as only children can. With great interest, I read eve

26、ry book that bore Beverly Clearys name. She seemed like a friend who understood me in ways I didnt yet understand myself. Ive written eight childrens books and have always kept Beverlys sense of wonder in mind. I dont remember at exactly what age I decided I wanted to write books, but I know that by

27、 second or third grade, my teacher assigned a project that allowed us to focus on whatever we wanted. My best friend picked dolphins; I chose childrens authors, with a large chunk of my project being about who else? Beverly Cleary! I told that story recently to a school group. One of the students sa

28、id, Thats fantastic! You did your project on childrens authors and then you became one!” “Yes,” I said. And my best friend who did her project on dolphinsbecame a dolphin!，, Really?” the students said in chorus. And that perfectly sums up why I love writing for children: the belief that fantastic, m

29、agical things can happen. Best friends can become dolphins; mice can ride toy motorcycles and become our friends. Thats what Beverly Cleaiy taught me. In the hands of a gifted storyteller, anything is possible. and so very funny. 24. The Mouse and the Motorcycle impressed the author mainly because .

32、e Swiss Alps Mount Eiger in 2017, part of the long deep sound it produced was too low for human ears to detect. But these vibrations held a key to calculating the ice avalanches （崩塌）critical characteristics. Low-frequency sound wayes called infrasound that travel great distances through the atmosphe

33、re are already used to monitor active volcanoes from afar. Now some researchers in this field have switched focus from fire to ice: dangerous blocks snapping off glaciers. Previous work has analyzed infrasound from snow avalanches but never ice, says Boise State University geophysicist Jeffrey Johns

34、on. This was different,Johnson says. A signature of a new material has been detected with infrasound. Usually glaciers move far too slowly to generate an infrasound signal, which researchers pick up using detectors that track slight changes in air pressure. But a collapsea sudden, rapid breaking of

35、ice from the glaciers main bodyis a prolific infrasound producer. Glacial collapses drive ice avalanches, which pose an increasing threat to people in mountainous regions as rising temperatures weaken large fields of ice. A glacier ucan become detached from the ground due to melting, causing bigger

36、break offs,” says University of Florence geologist Emanuele Marchetti, lead author of the new study. As the threat grows, scientists seek new ways to monitor and detect such collapses. Researchers often use radar to track ice avalanches, which is precise but expensive and can monitor only one specif

37、ic location and neighboring avalanche paths. Infrasound, Marchetti says, is cheaper and can detect breakoff events around a much broader area as well as multiple avalanches across a mountain. It is challenging, however, to separate a signal into its components (such as traffic noises, individual ava

38、lanches and nearby earthquakes) without additional measurements, says ETH Zurich glaciologist Malgorzata Chmiel. The model used by Marchetti is a first approximation for this,” she says. Isolating the relevant signal helps the researchers monitor an ice avalanches speed, path and volume from afar us

39、ing infrasound. Marchetti and his colleagues are now working to improve their detectors to pick up more signals across at-risk regions in Europe, and they have set up collaborations around the continent to better understand signals that collapsing glaciers produce. They are also refining their mathe

40、matical analysis to figure out each ice cascades physical details. 26. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. Infrasound has a major role to play in discovering new materials. B. Ice avalanches are a bigger threat to people than volcanic eruptions. C. Researchers are trying to use in

41、frasound in detecting ice avalanches. D. Scientists employ infrasound more in mountain areas than in other places. 27. Which is an advantage of infrasound over radar? A. The combination with other relevant signals. B. The accuracy in locating a certain avalanche. C.The ability in picking up signals

42、in wider areas. D. The sensitivity in tracking air pressure changes. 28. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to . A. distinguishing different components of a signal B. detecting multiple avalanches at the same time C. calculating the speed and path of ice avalanches D. monitoring the sp

43、ecific location of ice breakoffs 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. From Fire to Ice B. Glacier Whispers C.Nature is Warning D. Secret of Ice Avalanches D In over 25 years, DeSimone has spun his research findings into commercial gold by launching several businesse

44、s. As a faculty member at the University of North Caiolina, he provided scientific advice and held equity in the businesses. But he has never actually managed his companies. His employers bar him from simultaneously holding an academic post and an executive position. The dual roles can present huge

45、conflicts. Conflicts of interest （COIs） occur when an individuals personal interestsfamily, friendships, financial, or social factorscould compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace, and it makes sound career sense to think about how to manage them. Researchers should dis

46、close potential or existing conflicts across all aspects of academic life. In most places, COI management runs on an honor system. Researchers decide which financial holdings and relationships to disclose to university administrators. Journals and funders adopt a similar system when they ask authors

47、 and peer reviewers about potential conflicts related to manuscript or grant approvals. Most research institutions offer training to help faculty members to understand what constitutes a potential or existing conflict. Administrators then decide whether the interest presents a conflict, and whether

48、that conflict can be handled. If so, they create a management plan to address it. If not, researchers must abandon the work, partner with researchers at other institutions, or leave their university. Perception plays a part in defining a potential conflict, warns Walt, a chemist at Tufts University.

49、 Investigators who develop a technology in the laboratory and then transfer it to their company could create a conflict of interest in the eyes of their students, Walt says. But the potential conflict can be avoided by drafting a licensing agreement that bars discoveries from automatically being tra

50、nsferred to the investigators company. Walt created such an arrangement to assure his students that they werent actually working for his private companies. Relationships can pose conflicts when conference organizers are choosing speakers. Members of the American Society for Human Genetics program co
