9、the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021.A contributing factor to its rise in 2021 aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vacci

10、nation as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as “vax cards”, “vax passports”, and “getting vaxxied”.

11、he most striking impact,” said Fiona MePherson.Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) “vaccinate” and “vaccination” both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from th

12、e Latin word “vacca”, which means “cow”.

16、for sales success, according to a new study.A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven

17、t but until now, researchers hadnt adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmers

18、 market and online, and by examining peoples impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.But its not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers

19、also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears and its not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their w

21、he produce other than attractiveness.” The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly p

Now researchers report that those rising temperatures have led to widespread changes in the population size of marine（海洋的）species. A

26、 new study from the University of Bristol,UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species. The studys senior author,Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist, said: “We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked a

27、t， from plankton（浮游生物）to marine invertebrates（无脊椎动物），and from fish to seabirds. ”Based on these findings,researchers reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing side. The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species ove

28、r the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range. This suggests that marine species havent managed to adapt to warmer conditions. They may continue to move poleward as sea temperatures increase further,impactiing the livelihood of equatorward coastal towns.

29、 “This matters because it means that climate change is not only leading to abundance changes,but affects the performance of species locally,” Genner said. “While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,we will also see continued loss of marine in the near future. ”The researchers said that m

30、ore work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological（生理的）limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact?”12What does the ne

31、w study from the University of Bristol try to discover?AHow many marine species the climate change influences.BDirections in which marine species move in different seasons.CHow the climate change affects the population of marine species.DSimilarities between certain species affected by the climate c

32、hange.13What did the study find?AThere are new marine species in the poles.BAt least 304 marine species were less widely distributed.CThere is a sharp decline in the number of marine species.DThe abundance of many marine species increased on poleward sides.14What does the finding suggest?AClimate ch

33、ange can make the coast inhabitable.BMarine species havent adjusted to warmer temperatures.CMarine species may continue to move toward the equator.DOcean warming improves the environment for marine species.15According to the text, what should future research focus on?AThe interaction among marine sp

34、ecies.BThe physiological limits of marine species.CThe other possible factors behind this trend.DThe changes in the performance of local species.How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself?

37、than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.
