After

and
other
health
issues
for
years
before
he
was
diagnosed(

with
two
tick-borne(

illnesses
,
Murie
l
Metko
,
a
biology
graduate
in
University Of Wisconsin
Eau Claire (UWEC), knew she wanted a career in
medicine.
Metko also
knew
,
with its strong biology
program
,
UWEC would give her
the foundation and
guidance
she
needed
to
pursue
her
dreams
of
studying
medicine
and
specializing
in
infectious
disease.
As
she
prepares
to
graduate
,
her
plans
still
include
medical
school
,
but
thanks
to
a
newly
discovered
passion
for
research,
she
also
now
plans
to
earn
a
doctorate
along
with
her
medical
degree. Thus she can practice medicine
and engage in research.
During
her
second
year
in
college, Dr. Phillips,
professor
of chemistry,
asked her
to
join
his
research
team.
She
enjoyed
it
so
much
that
when
that
first
project
ended,
she
joined
Dr.
Dahl's
chemistry lab. As a student researcher,
Metko has presented their research at a national
conference
and is working with Dahl on
an academic paper for publication.
Last
summer
,
Metko
worked
in
Mayo
Clinic,
where
she
watched
clinicians
and
researchers
cooperate to develop the best
diagnostic tools and treatment plans for patients.
Her experience here
solidified her
future career path. “Prior to going to Mayo
Clinic,
this was just a career I had
read
about,”
Metko
says
of
physician
-
researchers.
“I'd
met
medical
doctors
and
Ph.D.s
,
but
never
someone
who
was
both.
Here
were
living
examples
of
such
people,
who
practiced
medicine
and
spent time in their lab
advancing the field
,
doing
exactly what I want to do.”
Bright as her future
is
,
Metko's overcome many
challenges like endless health
issues
,
but with
a
positive attitude to
life
,
she's actively received
treatment and got
through.
“
With a major in
biology
and two minors in chemistry and
pre-professional health
sciences
,
all the courses
taken at UWEC
have given me a solid
foundation to pursue graduate studies and earn my
M.D. -
Ph.D.
,
”
Metko
says.
24. What contributed to Metko's
initial idea to pursue a medical career?
A. Her desire to become the breadwinner
of her family.
B. Her university's
latest education-aid program.
C. Her
poor living conditions in childhood.
D.
Her father's sufferings from diseases.

Andean
Condors(
秃鹰),
weighing up to
13 kilograms with a 10-foot wingspan, are one of
the
world's
heaviest
and
largest
flying
birds.
Spending
their
days
circling
the
Andes
mountains
and
nearby Pacific coasts in
search of food
,
they manage
to stay afloat (
悬浮)
for
hours.
Though researchers have long
suspected that the massive creatures conserved
energy by using
rising air currents to
surf the skies
,
nobody had
ever documented how infrequently the birds used
their wings afloat.
Now
,
a new study has found
that the incredibly energy-efficient condors use
their
wings just 1 percent of their
time - mostly during takeoff and landing.
The
extensive
research,
conducted
in
Patagonia
from
2013
to
2018,
involved
attaching
high-
tech flight recorders
to the birds’wings. The collected information was
too much to send back
via the phone or
satellite network. Hence, the researchers had to
physically take back the devices,
which
were designed to fall off the birds after a week.
While a GPS tracker allowed the scientists to
confirm
the
recorders'
exact
locations,
getting
to
them
was
no
easy
task
given
Patagonia's
rough
surface features.
After
losing
seven
recorders
for
every
one
they
took
back
,
the
team
shifted
their
focus
to
younger condors, who tend to fly over
gently rolling hills rather than the mountain tops
frequented
by adults. The 250 hours of
collected flight data revealed that the birds flew
for an average of three
hours
but
flapped(
拍打)
their
wings
for
less
than
two
minutes
of
the
time.
One
efficient
pilot
managed to cover 172
kilometers over five hours without a single flap!
The researchers say the
large fliers consume the most energy during
takeoff. However, once in
the
air,
they
can
fly
for
long
periods
of
time
without
turning
on
their
“
< br>engines
”
.
The
scientists
suppose that
adult condors may demonstrate an even more
impressive flight record than the younger.
28. What's the new study mainly about?
A. Feeding habits of condors.
B. Function of condors' wings.
- 1 -
C. Frequency of condors flapping wings.
D. Ways of condors' drawing on air
currents.
29. What does the author
intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.
Indicate difficulty of getting recorders back.
B. Highlight condors' ability to fly
high.
C. Present a research outcome.
D. Introduce condors' habitats.
30. Where did the researchers usually
find the recorders afterwards?
A.
Mountain peaks.
B. Gentle hillsides.
C. Wide valley.
D. Rough
sea.
31. In which column of a website
can we read the text?
A. Environment.
B. Nature.
C. Education.
D. Geography.

SpaceX's first-ever passenger flight to
the International Space Station (ISS) ended
successfully
on August 2
,
2020
,
when Crew
Dragon Endeavour landed into the Gulf of Mexico.
After a series of
safety
checks
,
the recovery teams
unlocked the capsule's hatch and moved NASA
astronauts Bob
Behnken and Doug Hurley
to shore. During their total 64 days in
space
,
they completed 1,024
orbits
around Earth and traveled 27
,
147
,
284
miles.
In a press conference the
astronauts described the crucial final minutes of
the historic mission
when Crew Dragon
fired its rocket pusher to slow its descent for
re-entry into the outer
atmosphere.
“
It came
alive
,”
Behnken told of the
12-minute pusher burn.
“
It
sounds like an animal coming
through
the atmosphere.
”
Hurley told reporters that following
the successful landing
,
the
astronauts had to complete one
final
task
—“
making satellite phone
calls to whoever we can get a hold
of
”
. The scientists said the
fun attempt had a serious
purpose
—
to ensure that
future crews could use the emergency phone to
contact mission control in case the
spacecraft landed in an unexpected part of the
ocean.
Crew Dragon Endeavour was
launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on May
30, 2020.
After19
hours
,
the
spacecraft
autonomously
pulled
up
at
the
forward
port
of
ISS.
Hurley
and
Behnken
spent
their
62
days
aboard
the
station
conducting
scientific
experiments
alongside
Expedition
63's
crew
and
participating
in
numerous
public
engagements.
Behnken
also
accompanied ISS Commander Chris Cassidy
on four spacewalks to upgrade two power channels.
The
journey
marked
the
first
time
astronauts
have
been
launched
to
orbit
aboard
a
privately-built spacecraft. It was also
the first crewed orbital piloted launch from
American soil since
the US Space
Shuttle program ended in July 2011.
With
the
final
test
flight
complete,
NASA
will
spend
the
next
few
weeks
analyzing
all
performance data. If everything is
satisfactory
,
SpaceX will
become the first private company to be
