中国大学MOOC: Effective reading of a scientific abstract involves identifying its structure. Though different disciplines and journals may show slight differences in their requirements for the format of abstracts, the major components of a scientific abstract remain almost the same and are presented in the same sequence. Read the following disordered statements and reorder them into a well-organized abstract. Explain the reasons for your arrangement of the statements.A. Participants first learned stimuli by either restudying or engaging in retrieval practice. Twenty-four hours later, we induced stress in half of the participants and assessed subsequent memory performance.B. We aimed to determine whether a highly effective learning technique could strengthen memory against the negative effects of stress.C. More than a decade of research has supported a robust consensus: Acute stress impairs memory retrieval.D. Participants who learned by restudying demonstrated the typical stress-related memory impairment, whereas those who learned by retrieval practice were immune to the deleterious effects of stress.E. These results suggest that the effects of stress on memory retrieval may be contingent on the strength of the memory representations themselves.F. To bolster memory, we used retrieval practice, or the act of taking practice tests.（请按照你的排序，直接输入大写字母，字母之间没有空格或标点符号）

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. A World in Transition A) This year opens in the wake of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference (COP21) and the launch of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The former sets out to reach an agreement on carbon emissions, whereas the latter aims to combat poverty and inequality while protecting the environment. Both address critical sets of challenges with profound implications for the way the world operates. And both require serious considerations about energy. B) It's clear that dealing with climate change calls for deep (and, likely, total) decarbonization of our energy system, which entails a fundamental transformation of our infrastructure. It also demands immediate and rapid action, as our window for avoiding the disastrous consequences of carbon emissions is ever shrinking. Yet at the same time, global energy demand continues to rise, particularly in emerging and developing countries, raising concerns about energy security even in the developed world, where one rarely considers that the lights may not come on when the switch is flipped. How do we meet demand and still achieve the required rapid changes when making decisions about energy supply can take years, and the development and construction of energy sources can take even longer? C) Science and technology undoubtedly play a vital role. Research efforts continue to furnish us with fresh insights into fundamental phenomena that help us develop better devices and processes for generating or storing energy. For example, new studies of photovoltaics are enabling more efficient cells to be constructed, and presenting cheaper, more flexible approaches to building them; new findings into interfacial or catalytic phenomena generate advances in storage technologies that could bolster deployment of intermittent renewables and reshape the grid; a deeper understanding of materials and chemistry can offer more efficient routes to the generation of fuels. Technology innovation brings a wealth of new applications, overcoming issues of supply or energy efficiency, allowing us to address many of the challenges we face today and hopefully many of those we aren't yet aware of. D) Yet to believe that technology alone will save us is to forget that technologies must be used by people. It is not enough to just build and implement new technologies: the way we use, interact with, and think about them is critical as well. Given several options of equal scientific merit, the choice of which to pursue depends on social, cultural, economic and political factors. Thus, we shouldn't forget that science and technology form part of a bigger and more complicated system, full of important feedbacks and loops. If we can better understand the way that individuals and societies engage with energy on different levels, we can design better tools or deploy them in more appropriate ways, reaping greater rewards. E) Consider photovoltaics. Understanding how to improve the efficiency of a solar cell is just one step in the process of increasing the use of solar power: we must also know how to build modules that are long-lasting and durable; that are cheap to produce at scale and easy to install; or that can fulfil functions that other designs can't. To make solar power competitive in the marketplace, we have to think about subsidies and what level of economic support might be required over what period. There are also issues around where to install solar panels: where are good locations, why do people object to building solar farms near to them, what motivates some people to install solar power and others to refuse to adopt it? Solar power (as well as other renewable sources like wind) also enables individuals, communities, towns and cities to power themselves independently of centralized providers and to become producers of energy as well as consumers, selling excess electricity back to the grid. This gives rise to a number of further challenges for grid operation, business models, regulation and governance. And this is all to say nothing of the additional opportunities that open up when photovoltaics are linked to other technologies, like storage or smart grids. By thinking more carefully at a systems level, combining natural and social science considerations, we can move towards a more integrated, flexible energy system that better fulfills our goals. F) No one discipline can truly claim to have all the answers to our energy challenges. What is needed is a multiplicity of voices---a combined effort from many disciplines all trying to understand how we can facilitate the energy transition but also all interacting with one another, sharing the benefits of their wisdom for the mutual good. Of course, this multitude speaks many different languages. Multi- and interdisciplinary studies ---of which there are an ever-growing number---help here by playing an increasingly important role in removing the traditional boundaries between groups and broadening the conversation. G) By orienting itself around a subject, not a discipline, Nature Energy hopes to be a home for the many different voices needed, publishing the best research and opinion on energy issues across the natural and social sciences. It also presents perspectives and opinions on different aspects of the energy system, from carbon capture and storage projects to grid balancing and storage for renewables. It wants to publish the research that matters the most to each field but that will also be of interest and influential for people working elsewhere in energy. H) Energy is an enormous but exciting field. The transition to the cleaner, greener, fairer energy system of the future is underway. Nature Energy looks forward to helping speed it along. ______1.Nature Energy hopes to serve as a forum for the spread and discussion of pressing energy questions. ______2.Energy is an important part in the development plans made for the world. ______3.Scientific researches give us great ideas of exploring new energy sources. ______4.Many factors should be taken into consideration as we plan to use new energy. ______5.How to use the solar power well is a good example of incorporating both natural and social science considerations. ______6.Carbon emissions have caused serious problems to mankind. ______7.Energy transition calls for joint efforts from many disciplines. ______8.The energy issue poses a challenge not only for the developing countries but also for the developed ones. ______9.With support, the energy industry is changing for a better future. ______10.Solar energy differs from traditional sources in that individuals can join in the production of energy.
