Once the chice f ryal husehld, the watermeln has gained ppularity rapidly ver the years, and an nline grcer reprted that the fruit’s sales n the platfrm had increased sixfld frm 2020 t 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand fr watermeln quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer mnths. Just by hlding the watermeln near his ear and kncking n the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sund if the fruit is ripe enugh t be eaten r nt. He wrks fr a rural cperative set up by a grup f watermeln farmers, and puts thusands f watermelns thrugh the “knck test” daily, befre they are shipped t dwntwn warehuses where the platfrm surces its supplies.
The practice f kncking n watermelns t determine their ripeness can be fund acrss cultures. In China, it is cnsidered a natinal habit. Smart buyers tap n the fruit befre purchase t ensure their mney is well-spent. Sme buyers knck n the fruit despite nt knwing what the hllw sund means just t negtiate a better deal frm the seller.
As fruit sales have mved t nline platfrms in a big way, thse wh make a living by checking the quality f the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is ne amng the grwing grup. Their task is t cnduct knck tests n behalf f e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected t be sld nline are unifrm in size and quality.
Lee, wh was nce an award-winning sccer player, nw describes himself as a “galkeeper fr watermelns”. He quit sccer abut fur years ag and learned abut meln-kncking as an emerging prfessin and decided t becme an apprentice t an experienced farmer.
After a year’s trial and errr, Lee wrked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I ften cracked pen melns t cnfirm my judgment. There are just n shrtcuts, ” he said.
What is the main purpse f the text?
T intrduce an emerging prfessin.
T describe Lee’s career transfrmatin.
T discuss the imprtance f fruit quality testers.
T explain the cultural rle f watermeln-kncking.
What has led t the high demand fr watermeln quality testers?
The ppularity f watermelns. B. The big harvest f watermelns.
C. An increase in watermeln prices. D. A rapid rise in nline watermeln sales.
26. Why des Lee describe himself as a “galkeeper fr watermelns”?
A. He was nce an award-winning sccer player.
B. He dreams f being a prfessinal meln-kncker.
C. He was taught by an experienced watermeln farmer.
D. He ensures that custmers enjy watermelns f quality.
27. What can we learn frm Lee’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Every man has his value.
C. Great effrts and practice matter. D. Excellence can be fund in any prfessin.
C
Fr peple wh aren’t fans f winter, animals that hibernate seem t have the right idea: It’s the equivalent f burying yur head under the cvers until spring cmes — isn’t it? Nt quite.
“Mst f the physilgical functins are extremely slwed dwn,” says Marina Blanc, a pstdctral assciate at the Duke Lemur (狐猴) Center in Durham, Nrth Carlina. Fr example, when lemurs hibernate, they reduce their heart rates frm ver 300 beats per minute t fewer than six, says Blanc. And instead f breathing abut every secnd, they can g up t 10 minutes withut taking a breath. Their brain activity “becmes undetectable.” This is very different frm sleep, which is gentle resting state where uncnscius functins are still perfrmed.
Put simply: “Hibernatin is a means f energy cnservatin,” says Kelly Drew, a neurpharmaclgist at the University f Alaska Fairbanks wh studies the brain chemistry f hibernating Arctic grund squirrels. While hibernatin is ften seen as a seasnal behavir, it’s nt limited t cld-weather animals. There are trpical hibernatrs that may d s t beat the heat. And “sme species hibernate in respnse t fd shrtages,” ntes Drew. Fr example, echidnas (针鼹) in Australia will hibernate after fires, waiting until fd resurces rebund t resume nrmal activities.
T slw their metablism (新陈代谢), animals cl their bdies by 5 t 10 °C n average. The Arctic grund squirrels Drew wrks n can take this much further, supercling t subfreezing temperatures. Drew’s research has shwn that cling is likely regulated by levels f adensine (腺苷) in the brain. Nt nly des adensine increase in winter in grund squirrels, the receptrs fr the mlecule becme mre sensitive t it.
But species dn’t stay in their cld, sleeping state fr the duratin f their drmant perid. Abut 80 percent f their energy is spent intermittently (间歇地) waking and warming up. Why they d this is “ne f the greatest mysteries” f the field, says Thmas Ruf, a prfessr f animal physilgy at the University f Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. Sme think they need t turn back n their immune systems t fight disease, while thers think they may simply awaken s they can sleep.
One bird and a variety f amphibians(两栖动物), reptiles and insects als exhibit hibernatin-like states. There is even at least ne fish — the Antarctic cd — that slws dwn its metablism in winter, becming 20 times less active. And, f curse, there are lts f mammals. While bears might be the first that cme t mind, mst mammalian hibernatrs are n the smaller side. “The average hibernatr weighs nly 70 grams,” says Ruf. That’s because little bdies have high surface area t vlume ratis, making it mre taxing fr them t stay warm in cld weather — s they need the seasnal energy savings mre than larger animals.
Hw des the authr distinguish between hibernatin and sleep?
By highlighting reasns.B. By presenting definitins.
C. By intrducing arguments. D. By cmparing the data.
29. “Echidnas” in Paragraph 3 is intrduced t shw ______.
A. animals cl their bdies by 5 t 10°C n average
B. trpical hibernatrs may hibernate t beat the heat
C. sme species hibernate in respnse t fd shrtage
D. hibernatin is mst ften seen as a seasnal behavir
30. The last paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A. when certain animals hibernate B. what kinds f animals hibernate
C. why sme animals hibernate D. hw animals hibernate
31. The passage implies that ______.
A. It is harder fr smaller animals t keep warm in winter.
B. The cling f bdies may influence the levels f adensine.
C. Scientists dn’t agree n the reasns f intermittent hibernatin.
D. Bdy functins are still uncnsciusly perfrmed during hibernatin.
D
Tnal languages use pitch (音调) t distinguish wrds that therwise might sund the same. In Mandarin, fr instance, mă means hrse whereas mã means mther. Nntnal languages like Spanish smetimes include pitch changes t suggest emtin, fr example, but nt t change a wrd’s meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and musician, Jingxuan Liu wndered abut the crssver (融合) between language and music. While studying at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities f nearly half a millin peple frm 203 cuntries. Her clleagues had launched an nline game in which participants cmpleted several musical tasks, including identifying matching meldies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit sngs’ rhythms.
On average, native speakers f the 19 represented tnal languages were better at the meldy task cmpared with speakers f 29 nntnal languages. And the effect wasn’t small a tnal first language strengthened meldic understanding by abut half the amunt that music lessns did, which was als surveyed. But tnal languages speakers tended t be wrse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be chsy abut what they pay attentin t. Pitch patterns are quite imprtant in tnal languages, which might explain the balancing act in music. “Yu’ve gt a finite resurce f attentin, and yu’ve gt t divide up that smehw,” says study cauthr Curtney Hiltn, a scientist at the University f Auckland in New Zealand.
Prir research n language and music ften cmpared just tw tngues, usually English and Mandarin. But ther cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, culd have affected results. By examining a wide range f peple, the new study included languages never estimated in this way and reached mre generalizable cnclusin.
“Our result here is shwing that the language smene speaks which is an imprtant part f culture — als shapes cgnitin,” Hiltn says.
Why did Liu’s clleagues launch the nline game?
A. T attract mre students t d the research.
B. T learn abut different peple’s musical abilities.
C. T cnfirm the rle f music in peple’s language learning.
D. T find the difference between tnal languages and nntnal nes.
33. What were native speakers f tnal languages better at than thse f nntnal languages?
A. Finding beat tracks. B. Suggesting emtin.
C. Distinguishing wrd meanings. D. Figuring ut matching meldies.
34. What des the underlined wrd “finite” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Valued. B. Limited. C. Special. D. Ptential.
35. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Liu’s study?
A. Grund-breaking. B. Brain-washing. C. Inefficient. D. Unreliable.
