By calling the Youth Services DeskBA 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters （过滤）out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future'' competition.The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths.Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamoa machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energythe backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.Air pollution was always Eleanor's concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic （患哮喘病的）mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person's health and the spread of diseases. uWe have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,“ Eleanor said.The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something."The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor's design would be far-reaching. "If just a few people start using it, it can be really good fbr the planet/' he explained.24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?A. The award of the competition.B. High expenses of air fillers.C. Stratton Smith's behaviour.D. Her concern for air pollution.25. What do wc know about the backpack?A. It collects polluted air.B. It is powered by wind.C. It is of practical use.D. It sells well at present.26. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?A. Students living in poverty.B. Those suffering from asthma.C. People working in an open way.D. Judges worried about pollution.27. Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?A. Humorous and modest.B. Ambitious and selfless.C. Confident and fearless.D. Creative and considerate.CA broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That's something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it's part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.But research shows there arc pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse （激发， 唤酉星）the desire （渴望）to connect with others.Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy （共情），and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “bcauti仙 but sadn improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you're going through hell （苫难的 经历），keep going." That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.28. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?A. Sad music can make people help others.B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.29. What docs Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?B. Avoid unwise actions.D. Face the discomfort directly.B. By giving directions.D. By presenting research findings.A. Listen to a sad song.C. Find support from others.30. How does the author develop this text?A. By listing figures.C. By comparing examples.31. Which is the best title for the text?A. How to Find Pathways through HeartachesB. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a LotC. What Wc Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in LifeD. Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken HeartDMore than half of the world's oceans have changed significantly in color over the past 20 years, with human-caused climate change as the likely cause, according to the study published in the journal Nature. Oceans around the equator （赤道）,in particular, have become greener, a trend that cannot be explained by natural, year-to-year variability alone, reflecting changes in their ecosystems.The ocean's color changes based on what's found in its upper layers. Bluer oceans tend to have little life, while greener oceans have more phytoplankton （浮游植物）.Phytoplankton are the base of the ocean food web. In a balanced ecosystem, they serve as fuel for zooplankton and fish, which are eaten by larger Esh, seabirds and marine mammals.However, the change in color has indicated a change in the ecosystem. While some areas are likely to have less phytoplankton, others will have more. These kinds of shifts could have ripple effects throughout the entire ocean ecosystem.To determine whether this trend was related to climate change, researchers compared two ocean-color models which simulated how the oceans would respond under two conditions: one with added greenhouse gases and one without. The results predicted in the greenhouse gas model aligned （一 致）almost exactly with what the researchers found from real-world data within 20 years, about half of the oceans significantly shifted in color.Dutkiewicz said she was not surprised at this finding. "But still I found the results very sobering; yet another wake-up call that human-caused climate change has significantly impacted the earth system/' she said. "All changes are causing an imbalance in natural ecosystems. Such imbalances will only get worse over time if our oceans keep heating," she added.32. What does the new study mainly show?A.The color of the oceans varies with the seasons.B.Oceans arc turning greener due to climate change.C.Ocean ecosystems have become more and more fragile.D.Human activities are （he main cause of climate change.33. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.Greener oceans are more beneficial to fish than blue ones.B.Phytoplankton play a significant role in ocean ecosystems.C.The number of phytoplankton is in decline in most oceans.D.Phytoplankton are vital for fighting against climate change.34. How did researchers conduct their experiment?A.By exploring the waters covered by phytoplankton.B.By referring to previous data about greenhouse gases.C.By analyzing the source of greenhouse gas emissions.D.By comparing ocean-color models in different conditions.35. Why does the author mention Dutkiewicz in the last paragraph?A.To offer solutions to ocean heating.B.To show the changes in natural ecosystems.C.To stress the urgency of dealing with climate change.D.To state the importance of the ocean to human beings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。选项中有两项为多余选 项。How to Show RespectWhether you're talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you're kind and considerate.
