A 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 dynamo—a machine that converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy—the 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. “We 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 for the planet,” he explained.
24. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.
C. Stratton Smith's behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution.
25. What do we 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.
C
A 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 are 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，唤醒)
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 “beautiful but sad” 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 （苦难的
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 does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
30. How does the author develop this text?
A. By listing figures. B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples. D. By presenting research findings.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
D
More 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 fish, 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 are turning greener due to climate change.
C.Ocean ecosystems have become more and more fragile.
D.Human activities are the 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.
