8、ethods.After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen “vax” as the Word of the Year.Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that “Vax”, the shortened term for “vaccine”, has injected itself into the bloodstream of
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”. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after ones vaccination. “It has made t
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”. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenners pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s.“The words highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then

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
20、illingness to buy the less attractive produce.“Were pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in t
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

25、 produce by its attractiveness.DPrice the ugly produce at a sharp discount.Since pre-industrial times, the worlds oceans have warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. 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
