She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science at Michigan State University, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture in Germany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."24.What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A.She received 17 rejections in total.B.29 of her rejections were from journals.C.The rejections were connected into a fan.D.She made some rejection letters into a skirt.25.What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A.Favorable. B.Ambiguous.C.Skeptical. D.Opposed.26.Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A.Creative and considerate. B.Caring and determined.C.Optimistic and humorous. D.Generous and intelligent.27.Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A.Hard work pays off.B.Education is the entrance to success.C.Self-respect earns more respect.D.One needs to normalize failures.CA team from Northwestern University has developed a soft, skin-interfaced sensor that can analyze the molecular (分子的) composition of sweat for things like cortisol, blood sugar, and vitamin C, sending the data to the wearer's smartphone. This data, the researchers hope, will allow people to better control their stress levels throughout the day.Cortisol, also called the stress hormone, can be measured in a person's sweat. Released from the adrenal glands (肾上腺) under periods of physical and mental stress, it can be a powerful performance enhancer—increasing energy production and glucose (葡萄糖) availability for the muscles during a "fight or flight" situation, for instance being attacked by a lion. However, cortisol can also be released because of modern stressors such as money problems, issues at work, and other day-to-day worries that if built up over time, create the chronic anxiety and can lead to an increased risk for diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and obesity.When someone wears the chip sweats, the liquid runs through small channels into a series of chemical test sensors that look for different biological signals which could suggest a rise in cortisol.Previous attempts in years past at creating devices like this were limited by the need to take sweat samples to laboratories for analysis, removing any ability for the individual to act on the data in a way that might prevent buildup of stressful feelings, or even an anxiety attack.Such a device could be paramount in helping people relieve depressive or stressful feelings (not least because exercising hard enough to cause sweating helps with anxiety on its own).Furthermore, the percent of the population of American adults with regular feelings of worry,nervousness, or anxiety is around 11.2%, while there are nearly 60 million doctors' visits where mental or behavioral health is the chief concern. Putting power into patients' hands—in the form of a detailed diagnosis of cortisol levels, could help significantly to lower those numbers.28.What's the function of the newly developed sensor?A.To examine the component of sweat.B.To show when one lacks vitamin.C.To connect wearable devices to smartphones.D.To control people's stress levels the whole day.29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.What may create the profile of chronic anxiety.B.What may cause the release of the stress hormone.C.How cortisol can enhance one's energy production.D.How cortisol can be measured in a person's sweat.30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word?A.Significant. B.Useless.C.Accessible. D.Weak.31.Where is this text most likely from?A.A product review. B.A guidebook.C.A magazine. D.A science fiction.DThere is an "environmental silver lining" as a result of the coronavirus (冠状病毒) —carbon emissions have been reduced by more than 4%, many wildlife markets around the world have been shuttered and air quality in some places has slightly improved, Dave Ford, founder of the environmental literacy organization SoulBuffalo, says.But thanks to an increase in pandemic-related, non-recyclable materials such as take-out plastic containers and masks, 30% more waste has entered our oceans, he notes. "There's 129 billion facemasks being made every month—enough that you could cover the entire country of Switzerland with facemasks at the end of this year if trends continue," he says. "And a lot of thesemasks are ending up in the water." The masks look like jellyfish—in other words, food—to turtles and other wildlife creatures, thus, attractive to those animals and then endangering them, he says.Very little of the plastic we use is actually recyclable. Sharon Lerner of The Intercept told Here & Now last year that "the vast majority of plastic that has ever been produced—79%—has actually ended up in landfills or burned, but not refashioned into new products." Even if the plastics we have can be reused, Ford says recycling programs across the globe are facing drastic budget cuts."We're starting to see recycling programs shuttered, waste picking communities operating at 50% or actually shutting down. They are the last line of defense between plastic and the environment," he says.Last year, Unilever planned to cut its use of non-recycled plastics in half by 2025. In an interview with Here & Now, Richard Slater, Unilever's chief research and development officer, drew on the industry argument that plastic packaging is lighter, which means less shipping and therefore fewer dangerous emissions that cause climate change.Yes, plastics are lightweight and can cut down on fuel spending. But on the other hand, plastic waste is being found in every facet of life—even in the deepest ocean.32.What does "environmental silver lining" in Papagraph 1 refer to?A.An environmental organization.B.The closure of some wildlife markets.C.The decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.D.Benefits on environment from the coronavirus.33.Why are facemasks appealing to some sea creatures?A.They resemble the sea creatures' food.B.They contain certain unique chemicals.C.Many sea creatures like to chase plastic by nature.D.There is a continuous shortage of food in the ocean.34.What can we learn about the plastic waste?A.Most of it is recycled into new products.B.The majority of it is buried or burned.C.129 billion facemasks end up in the ocean.D.There is enough budget for plastic recycling.35.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Plastic can cut down fuel spendingB.Recycling programs are shutting downC.The coronavirus has caused more ocean plasticD.Solutions to ocean plastic pollution are being explored第二节(共5小题)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
