The backpack you take can make or break your trip when you go traveling. Here are the four best
travel backpacks on the market.
Amazon Basics 70L
It'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 Nepal 65L
The 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 just 1.38kg as opposed to other
backpacks, which can weigh up to nearly 2kg. If you're going to go hiking when you travel, then it is
perfect.

backpack's adjustable back allows you to change how the bag fits according to your needs. Available in
1
both blue and green, this is a great choice if you want a bag that you can depend on.
Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L
Osprey 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

At 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 Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12
student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world
problems.
In 2021, 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 Buddya winner in the 2022 Apple Swift
Challengewhich guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning the
2
award, 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 of 16, 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 Paragraph 3?
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 code B. Bearing growing pains

C. Facing life as it is D. Following role models
C
Some 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 roughly 70,000 years 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 between 1
and 4 percent 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.
4
B. Genes’ influence on early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.
D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.
9.What is paragraph 2 intended 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.
D
I 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 in 72 countries 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 every 1,119 students. 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 paragraph 3 refer 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.

It was dinner time, yet I hadn't finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their
holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few
of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced.

This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. I had left my corporate role and found
freelance(自由职业的)writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 17 With enthusiasm, I
expected my attitude would also change. Instead, the first surprising realization of my travel journey had hit:
despite changing my formal suits to casuals, I was the exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. 18 While you might expect
finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about
most often. After six years abroad, realism is now the primary message I share.
19 Instead of an office room, you'll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny
rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues,
your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. These dreams exist and
are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that's not all that's waiting for new digital nomads. 20 At-home life and life on the road can
at times feel shockingly similar, or, if bad work habits take over, even worse. It's an important expectation
to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your surroundings will change, but you
take you everywhere that you go. No matter how ultra-light you pack.
A. And my surroundings looked different.
B. But this wasn't at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C. This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D. New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E. Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.
F. You'll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G. Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack was new to Woodberry Forest School this year. He carried a secret burden: a stutter(口吃) that
often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose
to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting
in.
Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science
teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She
observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to
speak.
Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery
and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him.
She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter.
Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, You are so great!”
Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him
with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and
fluency.
One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in
front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he
possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the
presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take
turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with
satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he
were sitting on pins and needles.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was finally his turn.
When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause.
