Olsen is working to get her fans involved with climate ac- tion.On Earth Day,Olsen led a "Going for Green"event,which planted a tree for every workout a fan or player logged in a spe cial app.Other athletes want to make personal changes in their lives and then share how they do it with their fans. "Caring about the Earth shouldn't be a hobby,but a respon sibility that everyone recognizes as their own,"says Olsen. "Once that happens,sustainability will become a value in every day decision making and all those actions will add up.
【答案与解析】 数字秒表可能会产生高达0.11秒的舍入误差,这足以改变势 均力敌的比赛的结果。尽管设备记录时间非常准确,但它们在将 原始数据转换为人类可读值时经常出错 28.A根据第2段最后一句可知,浮点表示法广泛应用于数码设 备。 29.D 根据第3段第1、2句可知,数字秒表的误差是在浮点表示 法的数据转换成秒表显示屏可见的数字时发生的。 30.C根据第4段画线词所在句与上一句的转折关系可知,当被 记录的时间用类似于秒表显示屏显示数字的算法传递时,他们 又看到了(第3段提到的)不精确的数字。 31.D根据倒数第2段第1句可知,为了避免秒表的舍入误差, Faux建议将石英晶振的次数直接用更大的秒表显示屏显示,而 非用算法来转换摆动次数。
Faux says that the obvious solution is for stopwatches to have large data tables for transforming the numbers of oscilla- tions into the time in seconds,rather than using an algorithm. The researchers now hope to investigate whether the errors are found at large sporting events. New Scientist asked the International Olympic Committee if timing at the Olympic Games could be affected by this phenome- non.The IOC passed the request for comment to Omega,the of ficial timekeeper of the Games,which didn't respond.
Digital stopwatches can make rounding(四舍五入的)errors of up to 0.11 seconds,which could be enough to change the win- ner of close races.Although the devices record time extremely accurately,they often make errors when changing that raw data to human-readable numbers. Most digital stopwatches measure time by counting the pre dictable oscillations (of a quartz crystal.The crystal will pulse many thousands of times a second and the final count is transformed into seconds in a format known as a floating-point representation that is commonly used by digital devices. This floating-point number is extremely accurate,but must be transformed again for display on the limited screen of a stop-

B The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Balti- more,Maryland one afternoon:tempura broccoli(面拖花椰菜).
