一、完形填空

Oleita, a 26-year-old environmentalist from Detroit, thinks she may have a partial

solution for two problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. She is

encouraging snack lovers to donate their ____1____ chip bags rather than throw them away,

so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

The idea came to Oleita two years ago when she came across a woman in

England____2____ viewers how to put chip bags together to make sleeping bags on

Facebook. ____3____, she decided to use that video as a blueprint to start the Chip Bag

Project.

Oleita and her volunteers get chip bags of all brands and sizes. After cleaning them in

soapy hot water, they ____4____ them open, lay them flat and iron them together. They use

the material from old coats to ____5____ the insides. Each sleeping bag requires 150 chip

bags and takes around four hours to complete.

Since 2020, the project has ____6____ more than 800, 000 chip bags and, as of last

December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to ____7____ money to buy

new sleeping bags. But that’s not enough. “We are committed to providing ____8____ for

those in need, making an impact not only socially, but environmentally, ” Oleita says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would ____9____ land in

the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that pollution and

poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita said, “I think it’s time to show_____10_____

between all of these issues. ”

三、阅读理解

Summer of KidsPost 2022 continues with our readers sharing their summer vacation

adventures. This week’s edition features national parks and an old railroad tunnel (

隧道

).

Moubon Kurukumbi, 13, and Masoom Kurukumbi, 10, of Fairfax visited Washington

state. They hiked in three national parks: North Cascades, Mount Rainier and Olympic

National Park. While on Hurricane Ridge Mountain in Olympic National Park, Moubon and

Masoom were approached by several black-tailed Howard, 8, of Ashburn visited

the Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee. Nathan hiked, played

in streams and saw two bears. He is a junior ranger and wants to be a ranger to look after the

Smoky Mountains National Park when he grows up.

Bella Lamb, 13, Ari Lamb, 8, of Virginia Beach, and Violet Lamb, 9, of Centreville

visited the Claudius Crozet Blue Ridge Tunnel in Rockfish Gap, Virginia. The historic

railroad tunnel was built in the 1850s. They walked through the tunnel with flashlights while

enjoying the cooler temperatures.

We expect more of our readers to include us in their summer vacations, so take a page of

KidsPost and share the fun. We’ll feature a selection of readers’ photos in the print KidsPost

and on this summer. In September, three randomly selected participants will

receive books and KidsPost presents. Here are the rules:·Get a recent copy of the printed

KidsPost or print out a page online (/kidspost2022PDF). Take it on your vacation.

·Get someone to take a photo of you-and brothers, sisters or other family members-

holding KidsPost. Make sure at least one person in the photo is between the ages of 5 and 13.

·Have a parent fill out the entry form at /summerofkidspost2022 and attach your

photo. List the full name, age and hometown of everyone in the photo and explain where you

are and what’s going on.

·Families can submit only one photo, and it must have been taken after May 23, 2022.

Entries are due by September 1.

Harvest

Tabby walked on her way to school. She felt a sense of anticipation because this year she

would be one of the graduates being honored at the town festival.

These days, she was waiting to hear back about an admission application she sent to her

top- choice college. It had the program that she was most excited about. Today she stayed late

at school to get feedback on another college essay from Ms. Mueller, her high school teacher.

Ms. Mueller told Tabby that her essay was very moving and that she knew Tabby would miss

her hometown, but her degree would be worth it. Tabby responded gratefully.

On the way home, the sight of the festival decorations made her feel guilty. She knew

that most of her classmates could happily enjoy the festival knowing that they would be going

on to do exactly what was expected of them-carrying on the town’s traditions by staying close

to family and farm. Spending many years at a large university in a city somewhere far from

home wasn’t supposed to be part of their plan.

When Tabby got home, her family was preparing packages with homemade cookies to

sell at the festival.

“Let’s make an assembly line (

流水线

),”said Tabby.

“Always trying to improve the process, aren’t you?” her brother laughed. Tabby knew

what he was referring to. Last summer, Tabby discovered a technique for improving grain

storage without costly equipment, which was adopted by local farmers.

After completing packing, Tabby went to her room. On her bed, she saw a large

envelope from the college she was waiting to hear from. She had been accepted into the

famous college-the one with the world-renowned agricultural science program!

The first person Tabby shared the news with was her grandfather. He gave her a big hug.

“I guess my scientist girl still has farming in the blood, ” he said. “Yes! And I will come back

and do some research right here in a few years,” she said. “Well, this old farm could certainly

use some improvements! I’m proud of you, Tabby!” he said.

Millions of migratory(

迁徙的

)birds occupy seasonally favorable breeding(

繁殖

)grounds

in the Arctic, but scientists know little about the formation, maintenance and future of the

migration routes of Arctic birds and the genetic determinants of migratory distance. In a new

study, a multinational team of researchers under the leadership of Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang from

the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences integrated two state-of-the-art

试卷第5页，共12页

techniques-satellite tracking and whole genome sequencing(

基因排序

)-and established a

continental-scale migration system of peregrine falcons in Eurasian Arctic.

The researchers tracked 56 peregrine falcons from six Eurasian Arctic breeding

populations and sequenced 35 genomes from four of these populations to study the migration

of this species. They found that the birds used five migration routes across Eurasia, probably

established between the last Ice Age 22, 000 years ago and the middle-Holocene 6, 000 years

ago. “Peregrine falcons initiated their autumn migration mainly in September, and arrived at

their wintering areas mainly in October, " said Professor Mike Bruford, an ecologist at Cardiff

University. “Peregrine falcons that depart from different breeding grounds use different routes,

and winter at widely distributed sites across four distinct regions. Individual birds that were

tracked for more than one year exhibited strong path repeatability during migration, complete

loyalty to wintering locations and limited breeding dispersal(

扩散

). ”

The researchers quantified the migration strategies and found that migration distance is

the most significant differentiation. They used whole genome sequencing and found a

gene-ADCY8, which is known to be involved in long-term memory in other animals in

previous research- associated with differences in migratory distance. They found ADCY8 had

a variant at high frequency in long-distance migrant populations of peregrine falcons,

indicating this variant is being favorably selected because it may increase powers of

long-term memory thought to be essential for long-distance migration.

“Previous studies have identified several candidate genomic regions that may regulate

migration-but our work is the strongest demonstration of a specific gene associated with

migratory behavior yet identified, ”Professor Bruford said. The researchers further looked at

models of likely future migration behavior to predict the impact of global warming. If the

climate warms at the same rate as it has in recent decades, they predict peregrine populations
