On the back of a motorbike of the fellow violinist, Hoffman weaved through the back streets of the city and then learned his first lessons in Andalusian music, the classical music of North Africa.

28、f short documentaries, showing him learning to play the violin in a variety of styles, including the folk music of south India, Sweden, Greece, Romania, and West Virginia.That would add to his extensive repertoire (全部曲目), which already includes Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Turkish styles. “The big jo

29、ke is whats the difference between the fiddle and the violin? Its the person who plays it,” says Niall Keegan, a traditional flute player. “Its the music you make on it that makes it Irish or English or French or classical or jazz or whatever else.

More than eight million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year, comprising between 80 and 85 percent of all marine trash, but with inadequate data, there are concerns that these figures could be underestimates.Currently, most of the data we have on microplastics are accidentally captu

35、red by research ships, which use plankton nets to collect marine-microorganism samples. However, researchers Christopher Ruf and Madeline Evans from the University of Michigan have discovered an innovative way to identify and track concentrations of microplastics in the ocean.The technique relies on

36、 NASAs Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a constellation of eight micro-satellites used to predict hurricanes that calculate wind speeds above the ocean by measuring the roughness of surface waters. As the satellites are continuously recording, Ruf and Evans realised that they col

37、lect a great deal of additional data. It was while analysing these data that they noticed some differences times where the surface of the ocean appeared to be much smoother than it should, given the prevailing wind (盛行风) conditions.Knowing that water isnt roughened as much when it contains a lot of

38、floating material, Ruf and Evans identified a pattern that linked areas of unusual smoothness and predicted microplastic distributions. They found that the difference between their measurements, and how much rougher the 高三年级（英语） 第 5 页（共 10 页） surface would be if winds of the same speed were blowing

39、across clear water, was “highly correlated with the presence of microplastics, and the degree of the difference also correlated with the concentration of the plastics.”The research reveals that there are seasonal variations, where the concentrations of microplastics tend to be higher in the summer a

40、nd lower in the winter in a very clean, periodic way, which Ruf explains mirrors the way in which the ocean circulation changes throughout the year. It also confirms, as was previously thought, that rivers are the main source of ocean microplastics. Raising awareness of the issue of ocean microplast

42、igns.So far, only one years worth of data have been processed since CYGNSS was launched in 2016. By looking at a longer time period, Ruf and Evans aim to determine whether the seasonal pattern is repeatable, and whether the concentration of microplastics in the ocean is getting worse.27What is Parag

DThe previous research on ocean microplastics.28According to the passage, CYGNSS . Ahas offered data about the repeatable seasonal

DThe new way of tracking microplastics has helped prevent ocean pollution.30What is the main purpose of the passage? ATo introduce the technology of CYGNSS. BTo

46、 present a way to study ocean microplastics. CTo test an assumption on ocean microplastics. DTo propose a new means of protecting the ocean.高三年级（英语） 第 6 页（共 10 页） DAmericans clearly love their museums. One of the most famous, New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), saw a record 6.5 million v

47、isitors in 2015. But record attendance doesnt necessarily translate into record revenue (收入). Last month, the Met said it was trying to erase a US$10 million budget deficit (赤字). Meanwhile, one of its rivals, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), was abundant in cash, but only about three million people

48、stopped by in 2015. Why do some museums flourish while others flounder? My research leads me to believe there are three reasons: fashion, billionaires and demographics.First, underlying the Mets financial challenges is the problem with the acquisitions policy. Recent directors of the Met did not add

49、 much to the museums modern collection. The argument was that museums such as the MoMA were already providing such works in their collections and that the acquisition of contemporary art by living artists was problematic and risky. However, given the fact that museum-goers increasingly favor contemp

50、orary art, the revenue of the Met will likely fall if it isnt able to keep up with the tastes of the customers. And by the time it might recognize this, its already too late to do much about it because the costs to acquire the in-demand art is sky-high. This leads to a second critical issue the chan
