21、ecies list. Much of mankind suffers from “plant blindness”. Defined by botanists Elisabeth Schussler and James Wandersee, plant blindness is the inability to see or notice the plants in ones own environment, which leads to the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere (生物圈) an

22、d in human affairs.Now a paper published by Oxford University Press might have found a cure for that. Having noticed that nature shows increased viewers interest in the animals on the shows, the researchers set out to discover if nature documentaries could do the same for plants. For the paper, they

23、 focused on The Green Planet, the 2022 BBC plant-focused documentary narrated (解说) by Sir David Attenborough. To figure out if the documentary engaged viewers enough to want to learn more, the researchers looked at peoples online behavior around the time of the broadcast. They noted which species ap

29、Great Chance to Stop Wildlife ExtinctionDMost Common Phenomenon: Plant BlindnessScientist Erika Nesvold once asked a company aiming to mine the moon how he planned to address risks that mining equipment might carry microbes (微生物) from Earth and pollute the moon. The response: “Well worry about that

30、later.”Thats an irresponsible mindset when it comes to preparing for people to live and work in space, Nesvold argues in her new book, Off-Earth. “. adopting a worry about it later attitude.strikes me as a path to repeating the tragedies of that history through ignorance.” Nesvold writes. Off-Earth

31、is an extension of her 2017 podcast (播客), Making New Worlds, which asked ethical (伦理的) questions about space settlement. The book takes some of the same questions and expands on them. Most chapters start with three short scenes, usually from different time periods. A chapter outlining debates over w

32、hether to settle space at all starts by asking the reader to imagine being in the 1600s and deciding to uproot your family and head to the New World.

34、ome up in space science: ethics, philosophy, law. This approach is a departure from many books about the future of life on the final frontier, forcing readers to face hard realities and possible points of friction. To have the best chance of avoiding disaster, the time to consider those questions is

35、 now, not later, even though space settlement may be decades or centuries away, Nesvold argues. Off-Earth should be required reading for anyone who dreams about living in space and can help make our earthbound civilizations better too.32What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?ATo clarify a

36、concept.BTo introduce a topic.CTo make a prediction.DTo generate a discussion.33What set(s) Off-Earth apart from others?AIts writing style.BIts text structure.CIts story elements.DIts writing techniques.34Whats Nesvolds attitude to space settlement?ACautious.BUnclear.CIntolerant.DDisapproving.35What

41、ied schedules,commitments, other children, and transplantation constraints (限制), I love to be able to offer an alternative to in-person conferences.
