But for one Virginia family, this wasnt the case. Josh and Cassie Sutton recently completed a full-length hike of t
8、he Appalachian Trail with their son, Harvey. At just 5 years old, Harvey, who earned the nickname “Little Man” from fellow hikers, is one of the youngest people known to have completed the roughly 2, 100-mile trail that stretches across 14 states in 209 days. When Harvey was 2 years old, his parents
9、 began training him for hiking by going on mini walks. They slowly increased their mileage day by dayeventually making him adapt to his big adventure. “A lot of people are surprised at how well he did. Theyre like, How did you get your 5-year-old to do that because my 5-year-old wont even walk half
10、a mile without com-plaining?” Mom Cassie Sutton said. The Suttons said that while the adventure of the 2, 100-mile hike was fun as a family, it did have its challengesespecially when it came to keeping Harvey entertained. “We learned that he is gifted in hiking, but as long as were playing make-beli
11、eve with him all day long, then he moves quickly and hikes a lot faster than a lot of us imagine,” Josh Sutton said. While the Suttons have plans for more hikes and family adventures ahead, the family is getting adjusted to life at home again as Harvey begins his latest adventure: kindergarten.4What

However, thanks to improved early warning systems and d
15、isaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less. According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this per
16、iod were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s. “Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” s
17、ays WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. “That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affe
18、cted the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are bette
19、r than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.8What do we know from the first paragraph?ADisasters connected with weather have gone up.BThe number of weather-related disasters has decreased.CThe number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.DEarly warning systems have made disasters decline m

22、verns the bodys biological (circadian) clock acts differently in males versus females and may protect females from heart disease. The study is the first to analyze circadian blood pressure rhythms (节奏) in female mice.The bodys circadian clock-the biological clock that organizes bodily activities ove
23、r a 24-hour period-contributes to normal variations in blood pressure and heart function over the course of the day. In most healthy humans, blood pressure dips (下降) at night. People who do not experience this temporary drop, called “non-dippers”, are more likely to develop heart disease. The circad
24、ian clock is made up of four main proteins (encoded by “clock genes”) that regulate close to half of all genes in the body, including those important for blood pressure regulation.Previous research has shown that male mice that are missing one of the four clock genes (PER1) become non-dippers and ha
25、ve a higher risk for heart and kidney disease. A research team studied the circadian response and blood pressure of female mice that lack PER1 and compared them with a healthy female control group. On both low-and high-salt diets, both groups “retained an apparent circadian rhythm” of blood pressure
26、, the researchers explained. Unlike the male mice in previous research, the females without PER1 showed normal dips in blood pressure overnight.These results suggest that the lack of PER1 acts differently in males and females. The findings are consistent with research showing that women are less lik
27、ely to be non-dippers than men of the same age. This study represents an important step in understanding sex differences in the regulation of cardiovascular (心血管) function by the circadian clock, the researchers wrote.12What does the new research find?ABiological clock may protect males from heart d
28、isease.BBiological blood pressure rhythms in female mice acts normally.CBiological clock organizes bodily activities over a 24-hour period.DA gene controlling biological clock works differently between sexes.13What role can circadian clock play according to the text?AHelping males cure heart disease
29、.BHelping blood pressure vary normally.CContributing to abnormal variations in blood pressure.DMaking up four main proteins regulating almost half of all genes.14Which word can best replace the underlined word “retained” in paragraph 3?Atreated.Bwarned.Ckept.Dwatched.15What would be a suitable title
30、 for the text?AOne clock gene is importantBWomen may benefit from body clockCNew study analyzes blood pressure rhythmsDBlood pressure of healthy humans dips at night二、七选五Volunteering means to carry out a duty or a job without expecting repayment or reward.
