AThe backpack you take can make or break your trip when you go traveling.Here are the four best travel backpacks on the market.Amazon Basics70LIt's much cheaper than many travel bags on the market and does not sacrifice any of the practical uses or space that comes with more expensive bags.The bag may not be as luxury as some of the more high-end bags,but its simple style lets you focus on the main thing you need to focus on when traveling:the moment.Eurohike Nepal65LThe Eurohike Backpack is a great choice because of how adaptable it is.Besides having a great amount of storage,it comes with an internal security pocket.It weighs just1.38kg as opposed to other backpacks,which can weigh up to nearly2kg.If you're going to go hiking when you travel,then it is perfect.Mountain Warehouse Tor65LFirst,its brand is one of the most trusted in the industry,so quality is guaranteed.Second,the backpack's adjustable back allows you to change how the bag fits according to your needs.Available inboth blue and green,this is a great choice if you want a bag that you can depend on.Osprey Europe Farpoint70LOsprey is one of the best brands for backpacks.Its frame(框架)suspension,which can be adjusted to different needs,allows you to travel more comfortably.Whether you're visiting Switzerland in a thick,wool coat or the south of France in shorts and a T-shirt,the bag will match your look.This bag does say it is marketed for men,but,of course,it can be unisex.1.What is the selling point of the Amazon Basics?A.Its luxury style.B.Its fashionable design.C.Its huge space for use.D.Its good value for money.2.What do Mountain Warehouse Tor65L and Osprey Europe Farpoint70L have in common?A.They are rich in color.B.They have the same capacity.C.They can be adjusted as needed.D.They are targeted for male customers.3.Which will you choose if anti-theft function is a concern?A.Amazon Basics70L.B.Eurohike Nepal65L.C.Mountain Warehouse Tor65L,D.Osprey Europe Farpoint70L.BAt just seven years old,Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation.It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade2class.Today,at18,the Grade12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In2021,she co-developed Megaphone,one of her first apps,to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements.Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic,she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps.So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the2022Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动)to regulate breath.After winning theaward,Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook,a highlight in her young career,but one she didn't lose her cool over.“There's no point putting people on a pedestal(神坛),”she says.The next year,Angelina built an app called Lilac,designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing,job opportunities and translation support.She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of16,she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support,which encouraged her to create yet another app,Pilot Fast Track,which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future,besides applying to colleges with great labs,Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science,electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world,"she says.“I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope.But in the end,it is a mindset,and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A.To design games for kids.B.To stimulate teen's curiosity.C.To address problems through technology.D.To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph3?A.She couldn't breathe regularly.B.She was inspired by celebrities.C.She replaced CPR with an app.D.She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A.To direct pilots'career paths.B.To help to-be pilots find funds.C.To pair future pilots with airlines.D.To evaluate pilot training schools.7.What might be the best title?A.Breaking the codeB.Bearing growing painsC.Facing life as it isD.Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago,suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly70,000years ago,some of them mated with Neanderthals,who had already adapted to the colder,darker climates of the north.The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today:Modern humans of non-African ancestry(血统)have between1 and4percent Neanderthal DNA.Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically,the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study,researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups,they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm.And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals,being“morning people”might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes.Instead,scientists suggest,Neanderthals’DNA gave them faster,more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight.This connection makes sense in the context of human history.When early humans moved north out of Africa,they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time.The Neanderthals'circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans'offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers.Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute,including social and environmental influences.The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K.Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans.Next,the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries.If the findings do apply more broadly,they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world,where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A.DNA's dramatic changes.B.Genes’influence on early risers.C.Neanderthals’sleeping patterns.D.Ancestors’environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph2intended to show concerning the new research?A.Historical context.B.Additional proof.C.Sample analysis.D.Studying process.10.What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A.Getting up earlier.B.Having healthier daily routines.C.Being more flexible in their work.D.Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11.What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A.They get proof from other studies.B.They are confirmed by early risers.C.They suggest potential applications.D.They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation.It is going to sell well,because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However,the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic(流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science.Worse,the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract(分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt.Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations.Most data are correlative.When associations over time are found,they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression,but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here.Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message.An analysis done in72countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally.Moreover,studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’mental health,I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers.As a parent of adolescents,I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting.There are,however,no simple answers.The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before.But insufficient services are available to address their needs.In the United States,there is,on average,one school psychologist for every1,119students.We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer.Unfortunately,our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need,and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A.Scary stories affect children's brains.B.Parents are responsible for children's health.C.Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D.The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does“the same message”underlined in paragraph3refer to?A.Many countries do research in mental health.B.Well-being and social media are closely related.C.The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D.Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.Effective actions need to be taken.B.Positive stories should be shared.C.Financial support needs to be provided.D.Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To suggest ways to help those in need.B.To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C.To recommend a newly-published book.D.To give a voice to children's mental issues.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We got Mayday!〞Frank Pisano screamed over the microphone to the air control tower at the airport．One of the two engines on his plane had failed，and he was now going down towards one of the busiest highways in America—Interstate 405，just south of Los Angeles—and there was no stopping it．Driving south on the 405，near the airport’S runway，was John Meffert，a fire department captain．He was heading home from his shift when suddenly a low—flying plane caught his eye．After he took a second glance，a thought crossed his mind：“This plane’s going to hit me．〞He was right．The plane slammed into the road，popped up a few feet，and then clipped the front of Meffert’s car．It finally stopped after hitting the divider(隔栏(ɡé lán))．Meffert pulled over．He was unhurt，and his car had received only a large scratch，so he turned his attention to the plane．He ran towards the smoke，and the n he saw Frank’s wife，Janan Pisano，pop her head up on the passenger side．By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of it was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck．Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided her to safety behind it．Then，he ran back for Frank，who had been knocked out by the initial crash，lying across both seats．Meffert carefully positioned himself under the pilot’s arms and lifted him from the cockpit．Then he dragged the pilot off the wing and carried him to safety，where they could see the plane in flames．The Pisanos spent three weeks in the hospital．Remarkably，Meffert’s car was the only one hit by the plane．Had Meffert been a second or two faster，Frank said，the left propeller(螺旋桨))would have ripped the top off his car and killed him．“I play all the what-ifs—going slower，going faster．It could have been a very different result，〞Meffert said．“We just had a lot of angels．〞4．What does the underlined word“Mayday〞in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．A special day in May． B．The arrival time．C．A message for help． D．The local airport．5．Why was the plane going down to the highway?A．Only one engine was working．B．Frank mistook 405 for the runway．C．The plane caught fire． D．The pilot was seriously hurt．6．What prevented Meffert

were friendsB．Meffert’s car was not totally damagedC．Janan Pisano was one of the crew of the airportD．the plane would take off again when Frank recoveredPlastic sludge(污泥(wū ní))and garbage is a disaster for the world’s oceans． A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish．And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem．“Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom，and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down．〞The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres，the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic，Indian，and Pacifc Oceans，home of what some haveplastic．What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water．And in some parts of theoceans，scientists have found more plastic than plant．〞The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain，sometimes visibly,and more so at the microscopic level，where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants．“There are heavy metals，medicines，industrial waste in the sea，while it acts like magnets(磁铁)．These poisonous substances absorbon the plastic，and then when seafood absorbs the plastics，those poisonous substances enter the fattytissues．〞To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last．China，Indonesia，the Philippines，Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters．The United States，although a leader in recycling，is one of the world’s 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic．There are efforts around the world to address th e problem，including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩)．But Andersen says there is more that people can do．“Cut back on single-use plastics，straws，plastic cups，plastic water bottles，plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials．〞She says healthy oceans are essential to our sur vival．8．What can we learn from the passage?A．There’s all island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific．B．The bad effect of plastic pollution can’t be seen by eyes．C．The United States is the least plastic polluters．D．The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see．9．What does the underlined word“it〞refer to in

problem of plastic pollution．B．The plastic problem hasn’t attracted the world’s attention．C．Andersen is not satisfied with what has been done to solve the plastic problem,D．People should stop using plastic products immediately．11．Which may be the title ‘ofthe passage?A．Plastic pollution in the World．B．Plastic pollution—Oceans’Disaster．C．Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceans．D．Plastic pollution and our health．If conditions get bad enough，almost any kind of weather can become a storm．Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans．It can cause major events to be postponed．And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people，fortune and anima1．If you weather the storm，or ride out the storm，you survive and move on without harm or injury．For example，1et’s talk about Tornado Alley，the name for part of the central United States．During springtime，this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes．People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass．People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm，but it doesn’t involve actual weather．“To weather the storm〞can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times．So，if the stock market(HY)crashes，you might have to weather a financial storm．Often before a big storm，conditions are calm．The calm before the storm can happen anytime．It is the time before something bad happens．For example，at the beginning of a family reunion．the adults were all talking happily．But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm．They’ve seen it happen befor e．The adults talk happily for about an hour．Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it，you are in the eye of the storm．In the world of weather，the eye of the storm is the calmest part，in the center of a hurricane，for example．However，in the English language，if you are in the eye of the storm，you are in the most intense part of a conflict．For example，she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm．However，a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather．To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people．And don’t worry．If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program，we can always brainstorm with you !12．What’s mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A．What the meanings of weathering the storm are．B．How we can weather the storm．C．Weathering a storm doesn’t involve actual weather．D．People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm．13．Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A．To stress the importance of weather forecast．B．To develop the awareness of family．C．To explain the meaning of an expression．D．To praise the older children for being clever．14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．A problem ear’t be solved if you worry too much．B．A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather．C．Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork．D．To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program．15．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction．B．To tell us some expressions about storm．C．To tell us a storm can cause conflicts．D．To tell us we should be ready for a storm．二、七选五Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.16．One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 17． We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强(jiāqiáng)) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.18．Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.19．The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 20．“You keep what matters,〞 Tononi says.A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C．That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.D．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.F. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,〞says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.三、完形填空I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to spread a little love and kindness today.

After both my appointments were 22 , I started walking away from the building and 23 an elderly woman standing at the gate anxiously.
