8.So you want to be a civilian scientist?The National Science Foundation(NSF)has got you covered.NSF supports civilian science across all area of science,whether your passion is to scan the night sky,or explore your own backyard.Join a group of birders.
eBird is an online platform that allows bird-watchers to go online and record their sightings to a database.With more than 100,000 active users,eBird's system is a treasure of information on bird population,distribution and habitat,with users can explore in real time.
Count every drop.
The Community Collaborative Rain,Hail and Snow Network(CoCoRaHS) is the largest provider of daily precipitation(降水)observations in the United States.Volunteers set up rain gauges(测量仪器)and record data every time rain or snow passes over.Data is organized and shared on the CoCoRaHS website,and used by scientists,farmers and more.
Search for stars with your computer.
Einstein@Home uses your computer's spare time to search for space signals.The project has already had major successes; Volunteers discovered about 50 stars,using data from Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory and Australia's Parkes Observatory.Einstein@Home also searches for gravitational-wave signals using data from NSF's Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory.
Be part of a supercomputer.
To link all those home computers,Einstein@Home uses the software called the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing,better known as BOINC.The software choreographs(编排)the technical aspect of volunteer computing and help you use radio telescope signals to search for creatures outside the earth.
Join the Plankton Party.
Without plankton,life in the ocean would not exist.These tiny organisms form the base of the food chain,and play an important role in the global carbon cycle.Plankton Portal enlists(征募) civilian scientists to identify images of plankton,snapped by In Situ Icthyoplankton Imagine System(ISIIS),an underwater robot engineered at the University of Miami.ISIIS has taken millions of images in oceans around the world;classifying the images helps researchers understand plankton diversity,habitat and behavior.

分析 短文主要介绍一些项目,这些项目是我们日常生活中能实现的研究实验.
解答 36.B,细节理解题,根据句子With more than 100,000active users,eBird's system is a treasure of information on bird population,distribution and habitat,with users can explore in real time可知,eBird系统能帮助人们找到鸟类的分散区域,故答案为B.
37.B,细节理解题,根据句子The Community Collaborative Rain,Hail and Snow Network(CoCoRaHS) is the largest provider of daily precipitation(降水)observations in the United States可知,"Count every drop"是测量日常的降水量,故答案为B.
38.C,细节理解题,根据Search for stars with your computer.中的Volunteers discovered about 50stars以及Be part of a supercomputer中的The software choreographs(编排)the technical aspect of volunteer computing and help you use radio telescope signals to search for creatures outside the earth.可知,这两个项目是跟探索太空有关的,故答案为C.
39.A,推理判断题,根据句子Without plankton,life in the ocean would not exist可知,浮游生物对于海洋的生命是重要的,只有sharks"鲨鱼"是属于海洋生命,故答案为A.
40.B,主旨大意题,短文主要讲了如何成为一名平民科学家所提供的一些项目,故答案为B.
点评 解答任务型阅读理解题,首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意.因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料.其次,细读题材,各个击破.掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性.对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准.
