14、research paper.BA science fiction.CA travel brochure.DA geography textbook.On May 21, 2022, Tom Turcich of New Jersey became the 10th person to walk around the world. Over seven years, he walked 48,000 kilometers across six continents and 38 countries, most of which with his dog Savannah. Speaking t
15、o CNN, Turcich explained that after a friend died in an accident at age 17, he started to look at life differently and decided to go on a journey around the world. It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2, 2015, just before his 26th birthday, on
16、 his way to Panama. He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment: a sleeping bag, a laptop, a camera and a box of food. About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the
17、world. The pair walked around 30 40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however, such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica. In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling thro
18、ugh Ireland and the UK. He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018, going through Europe, North Africa and Turkey before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle. From there, he and Sav
19、annah walked back to New Jersey. Turcich said the most difficult place to walk through was “deserted” Wyoming. Now that hes back home, Turcich says he wants to stay in one place for a while, and write a book about his trip.24What led to Turcichs decision to walk around the world?AThe death of his fr

23、g up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relatio
24、nal diversity.”Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational
25、 diversity and overall levels of satisfaction. Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact w
26、ith in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Co
27、llins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with
28、a romantic partner or a couple of chats with strangers, thats going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inne
29、r circle. “Its about this mix. Its about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support, ”she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social connections, the happier you are an
30、d the higher your well-being.”28What is paragraph 2 mainly about?AThe procedure of the research.BThe analysis of the research data.CThe significance of the research.DThe application of the research findings.29How does Collins explain the findings in paragraph 3?ABy citing experts words.BBy presentin
31、g questions.CBy illustrating concepts.DBy making comparison.30What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph?ALive a more positive life.BOffer support to people nearby.CExpand ones inner circle.DConnect with all kinds of people.31Which is the best title for the text?ATalking to Strangers
32、Might Make You HappierBRelational Diversity Decides Your HappinessCHuman Beings Are Social Creatures in NatureDFinding Support Benefits Your Well-beingMosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain
33、 colors more attractive. The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten, but theres little you can do in terms of your skin. Thats because everyones skin gives off a strong red-orange signal thats highly attractive to mosquitoes. “I used to say there are three major sig
34、nals that attract mosquitoes: your breath, your sweat and the temperature of your skin,” said senior study author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. “In this study, we found a fourth signal: the color red, which can be found not only on your clothes,
35、but also in everyones skin. The shade of your skin doesnt matter, we re all giving off a strong red signal.”Researchers found that when a common species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti detects carbon dioxide (CO2) from our breath, it then looks for specific colors-including red, orange and black to
36、 find its meal of blood. But it ignores colors such as green, purple, blue and white. “Mosquitoes appear to use smell to help them distinguish what is nearby, like a host to bite,” Riffell said. “When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan fo
37、r specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them.”That process is similar to when a person smells something good. “Imagine you re on a sidewalk and you smell pies,” Riffell said. “Thats probably a sign that theres a bakery nearby, an
38、d you might start looking around for it. Here, we started to learn what visual elements mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery.”Knowing which colors do or dont tempt mosquitoes may lead to better repellents (驱虫剂), traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.32What
39、does Jeffrey Riffells study find?AMosquitoes tend to have a preference for bright colors.BMosquito biting depends significantly on your skin color.CMosquito biting has something to do with your clothes.DMosquitoes will avoid biting you when you sweat heavily.33Which sense do mosquitoes make use of f

41、七选五I am an editor of an American magazine. The other day, a teenager wrote me an email.

The following is
42、my reply to him: 37 Math is that subject for you as it was for me and countless others. Youve already completed the first step by identifying math as your primary subject to improve. Now you just need to act. First, you can preview the lesson before class or days in advance. 38 So you wont fall behi
43、nd during class. How much do you study? Make math your priority. You can also ask for your classmates assistance. Someone who is getting top marks in your math class may be able to spend some time helping you out. Studying can also include watching videos of math concepts that your dont understand.
44、39 We dont want to blame others for our issues. But it is also possible that your teacher isnt making class as fun as he or she can. 40 It is just the way of student life. In this case, you will have to be proactive(积极主动的). If you can think of any fun games to play to use math concepts you have lear
45、ned, I am sure your teacher wouldnt mind hearing them.AIt may become a little easy for you.BHow do you do your math homework?CI cant even follow the teacher during class.DSome teachers will be more “boring” than others.ESome subjects in school will require more effort than others.FThat way, you can

I got it from my fourteen-month-old daughter Arielle. One day, she sat on the floor with an old baby doll. Without buttons, it could neither 41
47、nor play music. The whole room was silent. Then Arielle began to explore the baby doll. When her hand touched a tiny 42 . she used one finger to trace(勾画)its shape. Then she 43 one of her own ears and then both ears. She kept tracing the dolls ear and her own a few more times until, 44 , she turned her attention elsewhere. At that moment I discovered how human 45 took place. Something stimulated Arielles 46 : Is her body like her dolls? With no outside stimulation, she satisfied her c
