Jain is amongthe latter.In 2018,13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AItechnology to help pancreatic(胰腺的)cancerpatients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge,a nationwide middle-school science competition,and its$25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest,Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心)in St.Paul,Minnesota.Leading up to the big meet,each

found himself alone.So he got onthe train in front of him to search for hisbrother.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.He lived on the streets,andthen in an orphanage(孤儿院),where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now,and in his new book,A Long Way Home,he wrote he couldnt help butwonder about his hometown back inIndia.He remembered landmarks,but since he didnt know his towns name,finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the programssatellite pictures.In 2011,he came across something familiar.He studied it and realized he was looking at a townscentral business district from a birds-eye view.He thought,“On the right-hand side you should see thethree-platform train station”and there it was.“And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”andthere it was.Everything matched!Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child,he saw a lady standing at the entrance.It tookhim a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says,“My mother came forth and walked forward,and I walked forward,my eyesfilled with tears and my brain blank.I just didnt know what to say,because I never thought seeing my motherwould ever come true.And here I am,standing in front of her.”4.Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?A.To go back to his home.B.To look for his brother.C.To travel toTasmania.D.To follow a

of a small forest,it creates a considerable cooling effect.According to a study published today in theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study,the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as muchas 10 degrees Fahrenheit.And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood,even down tothe scale of a single city block.“We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside,but we foundthat temperatures vary just as much within cities,”says Monica Turner,a professor in the department ofIntegrative Biology,Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer,city planners are working onhow to prepare.Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts.Onepotentially powerful tool,the studys authors say,are organisms that have been around long before humancivilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits.And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we livelivable.Essentially,says Turner,roads,sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowlyrelease that heat at night.Trees,on the other hand,not only shade those surfaces from the suns rays,they alsorelease water into the air through their leaves,a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service,the study found that tree cover must be more than 40percent.In other words,an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafygreen network of branches and leaves.8.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B.People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C.Cities are warmer than the countryside because they dont have trees.D.An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.9.Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A.Severe damage of city facilities.B.Serious human health problems.C.Residents growing demands for plants.D.Unnecessary waste of energy resources.10.Why are trees crucial to cities?A.They help shade and cool the cities.B.They make urban scenery beautiful.C.They build up city cooling systems.D.They essentially block and release heat.11.What can city planners conclude from the study?A.They should publish the study in a newspaper.B.They should educate citizens to protect forests.C.They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D.They should cover nearly half the city with trees.DIf you struggle to fall asleep quickly,youre not alone!Fortunately,thereare plenty of solutions you can try.With a few changes,you can fall asleep fast every night!Keep your room dark.Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed.Any bright light can makeyou believe it is too early in the day for sleep.If you want to read or write before bed,try using a small book light.Now that blue lights can keep you awake,red ones are a great choice.If you can,keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night.If you have an old clock that ticks loudlyand keeps you awake,replace it with a silent one.If you share your home with anyone else,request that they keepnoises like talking,music,or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep.It is difficult to fall asleep if youlive near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime.You could get a white noise machine or playrecordings of nature sounds,like waves or whales singing.You could also listen to soft,relaxing music.Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep.Staying in bed doing nothing when youre havingtrouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake.While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes,it candistract(分散)you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy.But remember to read from a print book ratherthan something with a screen.The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep,so set the room temperature between 15.5-21could dothe trick.12.What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed?A.Red.B.Blue.C.White.D.Orange.13.What is the authors attitude towards reading in

better.C.Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.D.Playing recordings like birds singing can improve your sleep.15.How does the author organize the text?A.By givingexamples.B.By asking questions.C.By offering suggestions.D.By listing research results.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项Four habits of happy peopleWhile
