没有得到预期结果的研究被称为“零结果”,如果没有它们,科学的发展可能会放缓甚至受阻。物理学家阿尔伯特·迈克尔逊和爱德华·莫雷在1887年进行迈克尔逊-莫雷实验,试图测量地球相对于“光以太”的速度。在当时,“光以太”被认为是光传播的媒介,就像水波需要在水中传播一样。他们假设,光波在绝对静止的、遍布全宇宙的以太“海洋”中传播,那么当地球在宇宙中运动时,测量迎面而来的光与垂直方向的光,速度将略有不同。他们为这个设计精巧的实验付出了很多努力,但是什么也没有发现。该实验的零结果表明,光速在所有参考系中都是恒定的,爱因断坦随后在狭义相对论中进一步阐释了这一点.

下列选项中最适合作为文段标题的是( )。
教育元宇宙通过衔接虚拟空间与现实空间,消解了教育与社会的“围墙和边界”。美国教育学家杜威提出了“学校即社会”的教育原则,但现实桎梏使该原则难以实现。在教育元宇宙中,基于区块链与虚拟现实技术的支持,学校体系和社会体系可以联通,学校与社会之间不再存在围墙。此外,真正的终身教育和学习型社会愿景将在教育元宇宙的作用下成为现实。知识学习与能力发展将得到更深层次的融合衔接,虚拟空间将极大地促进理论与实践的交互,使知识学习更高效地完成显性与隐性的转化,真正促进知识与能力的全面发展。
上述文字主要阐述了教育元宇宙的哪一特征?( )

What is the author's attitude according to the article?( )
Whenever America's Federal Reserve raises interest rates,investors reflexively worry about a crisis in emerging markets.Today it might appear the usual pattern is playing out.On July 27th the Fed is expected to raise rates by another three-quarters of a percentage point.Meanwhile,Sri Lanka has run out of foreign exchange,Argentina faces another default and many poor countries are in trouble.Look more closely,however,and the world economy has been transformed in ways that mean the nature and consequences of emerging-market turmoil have changed.
The archetypal emerging-market crisis was in 1997-98.As the Fed raised rates,pulling capital back to America,Thailand's currency peg broke,leading to a panic that floored South Korea and Indonesia. It then spread to Brazil and Russia,and to LTCM,a Wall Street hedge fund that collapsed.Calm was restored by the Fed and Treasury cajoling American banks to roll over loans,and by the IMF.Three American officials who led the firefighting were dubbed "the committee to save the world".A decade or so ago there was a faint echo of 1997-98 when the Fed signaled it would tighten policy.triggering a sell-off in emerging markets.
Yet today much has changed. Emerging economies' share of global GDP at market prices has risen from to
.Asia's share of emerging-market output has doubled,to
,led by China and India.The weight of many crisis-prone places is small: Latin America represents
of world GDP and
of stockmarket value.
Another change is that many emerging markets have moved away from currency pegs,dollar debt and foreign borrowing.Today only of their debts are in foreign currencies.Governments increasingly rely on local banks.Instead of sudden crises that spill back across borders and to Wall Street,many places face slower-burn and home-grown dangers: inflationary spirals or zombie banks.
The final change is that even where foreign creditors are important,their profile is different.For example,the "Paris Club" of creditors,which is composed mostly of rich countries and multilateral institutions such as the IMF,accounts for less than of the poorest countries' debts,down from more than
in 2006.China accounts for about a fifth.
The good news is that panics in emerging markets seem less likely to inflict serious damage on the rest of the wold.We calculate the countries most at risk of default today account for only of GDP and
of global public debt.The bad news is that these places have 1.4bn people,or
of the global population,and face a huge humanitarian challenge with higher inflation,debt loads,interest rates and expensive oil and food.

Whenever America's Federal Reserve raises interest rates,investors reflexively worry about a crisis in emerging markets.Today it might appear the usual pattern is playing out.On July 27th the Fed is expected to raise rates by another three-quarters of a percentage point.Meanwhile,Sri Lanka has run out of foreign exchange,Argentina faces another default and many poor countries are in trouble.Look more closely,however,and the world economy has been transformed in ways that mean the nature and consequences of emerging-market turmoil have changed.
The archetypal emerging-market crisis was in 1997-98.As the Fed raised rates,pulling capital back to America,Thailand's currency peg broke,leading to a panic that floored South Korea and Indonesia. It then spread to Brazil and Russia,and to LTCM,a Wall Street hedge fund that collapsed.Calm was restored by the Fed and Treasury cajoling American banks to roll over loans,and by the IMF.Three American officials who led the firefighting were dubbed "the committee to save the world".A decade or so ago there was a faint echo of 1997-98 when the Fed signaled it would tighten policy.triggering a sell-off in emerging markets.
Yet today much has changed. Emerging economies' share of global GDP at market prices has risen from to
.Asia's share of emerging-market output has doubled,to
,led by China and India.The weight of many crisis-prone places is small: Latin America represents

of stockmarket value.
Another change is that many emerging markets have moved away from currency pegs,dollar debt and foreign borrowing.Today only of their debts are in foreign currencies.Governments increasingly rely on local banks.Instead of sudden crises that spill back across borders and to Wall Street,many places face slower-burn and home-grown dangers: inflationary spirals or zombie banks.
The final change is that even where foreign creditors are important,their profile is different.For example,the "Paris Club" of creditors,which is composed mostly of rich countries and multilateral institutions such as the IMF,accounts for less than of the poorest countries' debts,down from more than
in 2006.China accounts for about a fifth.
The good news is that panics in emerging markets seem less likely to inflict serious damage on the rest of the wold.We calculate the countries most at risk of default today account for only of GDP and

What is the main idea of the article?( )
The term ESG(environmental,social and govermance) investing dates as far back as 2004.The idea is that investors should evaluate firms based not just on their commercial performance but also on their environmental and social record and their governance,typically using numerical scores.
Unfortunately,ESG suffers from three fundamental problems.First because it lumps together a dizzying array of objectives,it provides no coherent guide for investors and firms to make the trade-offs that are inevitable in any society.Closing down a coalmining firm is good for the climate but awful for its suppliers and workers.Is it really possible to build vast numbers of wind farms quickly without damaging local ecology?By suggesting that these conflicts do not exist or can be easily resolved,ESG fosters delusion.
The industry's second problem is that it is not being straight about incentives.It claims that good behaviour is more lucrative for firms and investors.In fact,if you can stand the stigma,it is often very profitable for a business to externalise costs,such as pollution,onto society rather than bear them directly.As a result,the link between virtue and financial outperformance is suspect.
Finally,ESG has a measurement problem: the various scoring systems have gaping inconsistencies and are easily gamed.Credit ratings have a 99% correlation across rating agencies.By contrast,ESG ratings tally little more than half the time.Firms can improve their ESG score by selling assets to a different owner who keeps running them just as before.
It is surely time,then,for a rethink.The first step is to unbundle those three letters:e,s and g.The more targets there are to hit,the less chance of bulseye-ing any of them.Regarding s,in a dynamic economy,individual firms will make different decisions about their social conduct in the pursuit of long-run profits within the law.Tech firms may appeal to the values of young employees to retain them; firms in declining industries may have to lay people off.There is no one template.The art of management,or g,is too subtle to be captured by box-ticking.Britain's listed firms have an elaborate governance code-and dismal performance.
It is better to focus simply on the e.Yet even that is not precise enough.The environment is an all-encompassing term,including biodiversity,water scarcity and so on.By far the most significant danger is from emissions,particularly those generated by carbon-belching industries.Put simply,the e should stand not for environmental factors,but for emissions alone.Investors and regulators are already pushing to make disclosure by firms of their emissions more uniform and universal.The more standardised they are,the easier it will be to assess which companies are large carbon culprits—-and which are doing most to reduce emissions.Fund managers and banks should be better able to track the carbon footprints of their portfolios and whether they shrink over time.
