21、   We asked teachers from the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the kindest thing a student has ever done for them. Here are some of their most lovely responses...

22、   In 2018 biologist Jann Vendetti published a paper that described the discovery of five species of non-native snails and slugs（蜗牛和鼻涕虫）in Southern California. The research would not have been possible without some 1,200 volunteers who uploaded nearly 10,000 photos to the SLIME project (Snails and Slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments) on an app called iNaturalist.

“So the entire existence of that paper is dependent upon these citizen scientists. How do you credit those people?” said Greg Pauly from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. “There are some very specific requirements that a lot of journals and a lot of academic societies use. And those requirements largely would exclude nonprofessional scientists. And to me, that’s absurd.” That’s why Pauly, together with Vendetti, and several Australian biologists are arguing that criteria must change to recognize citizen scientists as authors on scientific journal articles.

They propose what they’re calling “group co-authorship.” The author list on Vendetti’s snail-and-slug paper includes the phrase “citizen science participants in SLIME.” But the phrase is absent when you look up the paper on Google Scholar. The publication software simply isn’t equipped to handle that kind of authorship, and so it erases the group’s vital contribution.

In another case, several years ago in Australia, a team of researchers tried to condition native lizards not to eat the poisonous cane toads. The only reason it was successful was because they partnered with the traditional landowners in northwestern Australia, and this group was called the Balanggarra Rangers.

Several journals flat-out refused to allow for the inclusion of the Rangers as group co-authors. Eventually, the researchers did convince the editors of some journals to allow it, but the group’s title was shortened, as if it was a first and last name, in online indexing software: “B. Rangers.”

The researchers argue that these errors and omissions don’t only make the critical contributions of a native community as invisible, they could also be seen as showing prejudice.

“If the person who had made that contribution was a graduate student who was trying to pursue a career in the sciences, we would all say, ‘Oh, of course that person should be a co-author’. But we don’t necessarily extend that same line of reasoning to citizen scientists.”

Allowing for group co-authorship is not a new idea. In 2004 the journal Nature published a paper titled “Initial Sequencing and Analysis of the Human Genome.” It listed as the sole author the “International Human Genome Sequencing Association.” “So let’s just choose this group-authorship model and turn it into group co-authorships. This really shouldn’t be that hard.”

【1】What can be learned about Vendetti’s snail-and-slug paper?

A．It is the first paper to credit citizen scientists on the title page.

B．It describes snails and slugs living in metropolitan environments.

C．It is available on the publication software Google Scholar.

D．It includes 10,000 photos of snails and slugs in Southern California.

【2】What can be inferred about Balanggarra Rangers?

A．They are familiar with native animals and plants.

B．They make a living by hunting native lizards.

C．They are good business people.

D．They are world famous as B. Rangers.

【3】Why is the example of a graduate student mentioned in the 7th paragraph?

A．To point out the omissions in the line of reasoning.

B．To highlight the contribution of a native community.

C．To argue against showing favor for a particular group.

D．To prove that not crediting citizen scientists is unfair.

【4】The author’s purpose of writing the article is to ________.

A．expose the unfair practice in the scientific community

B．call for the wide recognition of group co-authorship

C．call on more people to become citizen scientists

D．explain the origin of the term group co-authorship

23、Rainforests are disappearing at a surprisingly fast speed, largely due to human development over the past few centuries. Once covering 14% of land on Earth, rainforests now make up only 6%. Since 1947, the total area of rainforests has probably been reduced by more than half, to about 6.2 to 7.8 million square kilometers.

Many biologists expect rainforests will lose 5-10% of their species every ten years. Rapid deforestation could cause many important rainforest habitats to disappear completely in the next hundred years.

Such rapid habitat loss is due to the fact that 100 acres of rainforest are cleared every minute for agricultural and industrial development. In the Pacific Northwest’s rainforests, logging companies cut down trees for wood used in building while paper industries use the wood for pulp. In the Amazon rainforest, large agricultural industries clear large parts of forests for growing crops. In the Congo rainforest, roads and other infrastructure (基础建设) development have reduced habitat and cut off living areas for many rainforest species. Throughout both the Amazon and Congo, logging operations clear-cut to build roads or for other purposes. Some rainforests are threatened by large hydroelectric power projects. Development is encroaching on rainforest habitats from all sides.

Economic inequalities increase this rapid deforestation. Many rainforests are located in developing countries with economies based on natural resources. Wealthy nations drive need for products, and economic development increases energy use. These needs encourage local governments to develop rainforest at a slow speed. Poor people who live on or near these lands are also motivated to improve their lives by changing forests into farmland.

【1】What feeling does the author want to convey by listing figures?

A．Frustrated.

B．Disgusted.

C．Inspired.

D．Concerned.

【2】What caused the reduction of habitat for many rainforest species in Congo?

A．The demand for numerous products.

B．The motivation from local governments.

C．The construction of fundamental facilities.

D．The cooperation with developing countries.

【3】What does the underlined part “encroaching on” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Tearing up.

B．Relying on.

C．Holding back.

D．Benefiting from.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Changes of Rainforests

B．Threats to Rainforests

C．Comments on Rainforests

D．Projects in Rainforests
