On a Saturday mrning, five teenage reprters filed int a busy New Yrk ffice, red pens in hand, fr a tw-hur wrking sessin. They carefully imprved articles fr The Ditch Weekly — a seasnal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-t-17-year-lds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives t perfect their first issue f the year.
Fifteen-year-ld editr Billy Stern mnitred prgress using a clr-cded planning dcument n his cmputer, which tracked cmpleted articles including features n lcal summer camps and the cnstructin f a new hspital n a frmer baseball field. Turning t his 15-year-ld friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best clumnist (专栏作者), he sught ideas fr an upcming restaurant review. ‌“We still haven’t dne ht dgs,” Teddy suggested with a smile.
The peratin has grwn significantly smther since the bys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sught a summer jb mre challenging than his usual wrk at a fd truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team cntinued this year — pltting their cmeback during English class discussins and late-night FaceTime calls.
Nw with a staff f 20 teenagers, their ambitius gals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly cpies funded entirely thrugh lcal advertising. Determined t maintain cmplete independence frm parental invlvement, they have a deeper missin: t encurage yung peple t discnnect frm screens and revive (复苏) the print jurnalism.
Thugh launching a print publicatin amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem uncnventinal, Billy cnducted thrugh research befre launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach fd vending, he asked printers fr prductin csts and studied The Star’s advertising rates t create a practical business mdel. ‌“The numbers wrked ut,” he nted cnfidently.
Despite nging industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable prfits. While declining t reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing csts averaging $9,000.
4 The authr uses the example f ‌“tracking cmpleted articles with a clr-cded dcument” in Paragraph 2 mainly t ______.
A. highlight Billy’s rganizatinal skills
B. criticize inefficient editing prcesses
C. cmpare teenage and adult wrk habits
D. explain the newspaper’s digital transitin
5. Which f the fllwing best describes Billy Stern based n the passage?
A. Impractical.B. Ambitius.C. Cautius.D. Stubbrn.
6. What d the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly?
A. Parental financial supprt fr printing csts.
B. Digital expansin ver print distributin.
C. Cmplete independence and cmmunity impact.
D. Maximizing prfits fr persnal gain.
7. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. The decline f traditinal print media in New Yrk.
B. Challenges faced by yung businessmen in media.
C. The histry f student-run newspapers in the United States.
D. Teenagers’ innvative apprach t independent jurnalism.

With a maximum life f mre than 200 years the bwhead whale lives lnger than ther animals. But hw they survive s lng has never been fully explained. Nw scientists have fund clues f an answer and plan t see whether the same bilgical trick can be perfrmed in humans.
All living animals suffer DNA damage thrughut their lives. Cells attempt t mend the damage, but the repairs are nt always effective. This leads t mutatins (变异) building up , which can raise the risk f cancer and drive ageing by weakening cell functin.
Vera Grbunva, a bilgist, and her clleagues fund that bwhead whales were particularly gd at repairing a frm f DNA damage in which bth strands (链) f the DNA duble helix (DNA双螺旋) are brken. As a result, the whales have fewer mutatins. “What we’re finding is that these kinds f repairs are very imprtant fr lng life,” she said. Thrugh a series f experiments n whale cells, they shwed that DNA repair is enhanced by a prtein called CIRBP, which is started by cld expsure. Bwhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and prduce 100 times mre CIRBP than humans. “This strategy, which des nt eliminate (消除) damaged cells but faithfully repairs them, may be cntributing t the exceptinal lng life and lw cancer rates in the bwhead whale,” the researchers wrte in Nature.
The team went n t explre what happened when they increased levels f CIRBP in human cells. Bsting the prtein dubled the efficiency f the repair wrk that cells d t duble-strand breaks. Further experiments n flies (苍蝇) shwed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them mre resilient t mutatins.
Hw big a rle DNA repair plays in the bwhead whale’s lnger lifetime is unclear. They hpe t test whether cld-water swimmers, r thse wh take cld shwers, have raised levels f the prtein.
8. What type f DNA damage are bwhead whales particularly gd at repairing?
A. Single-strand breaks in DNA.
B. Damage t a prtein called CIRBP.
C. Mutatins caused by cld expsure.
D. Duble-strand breaks in the DNA duble helix.
9 What can be inferred abut the prtein CIRBP frm the passage?
A. Its prductin is influenced by envirnmental temperature.
B. It is unique t bwhead whales and nt fund in ther species.
C. It eliminates damaged cells t prevent cancer in whales.
D. It functins mre efficiently in human cells than in whale cells.
10. The underlined wrd “resilient” is similar in meaning t ______.
A. sensitiveB. sustainableC. resistantD. respnsive
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title?
A. D Bwhead Whales Live Lnger than Humans?
B. Can Bwhead Whales Help Us Live Lnger?
C. Can CIRBP Repair Stp Us frm Dying?
D. Des Cld Expsure Increase CIRBP?
D
Travel isn’t always enjyable, especially with yung children. Airprts with endless security lines, never-ending car rides with nisy kids, and public meltdwns (哭闹) in snack shps can easily turn a much-anticipated trip int mments f regret. Yet these challenges are eventually wrthwhile — travel transfrms ur wrldview by placing us in smene else’s “nrmal”. When we encunter freign street signs, taste unfamiliar cuisines, r hear cnversatins in unknwn languages, we’re vividly reminded that ur way f life is just ne f the rich human lifestyles.
Fr teenagers, this shift in perspective develps sympathy, tlerance, and intellectual curisity. They begin questining cultural nrms: Why d peple queue differently here? Hw has this sciety’s histry shaped their daily habits? Even seemingly small challenges — explring a cmplex subway system r understanding a menu written in anther language — build strng persnalities and prblem-slving abilities. These experiences teach them t adapt, cmmunicate acrss differences, and trust their wn judgment in unfamiliar situatins.
Yunger children gain simpler but equally greater benefits: patience while waiting in lines, flexibility when plans change unexpectedly, and curage t try new things. A child wh helps pack their suitcase, carries their wn backpack, r selects a daily activity learns practical respnsibility. Shared family mments — whether watching a breathtaking sunrise ver a muntain r finding their way back t the htel tgether after getting lst — create lasting memries that strengthen emtinal bnds. The true value f travel lies nt in checking ff turist attractins but in being fully present. Chse ne cre purpse fr yur trip — explring histry, cnnecting with nature, r simply enjying family time — and build yur itinerary (行程) arund that. Remember, meaningful travel desn’t require a plane ticket; day trips t nearby twns, cultural festivals in yur city, r even visits t different neighbrhds can ffer similar grwth. The real jurney begins nt at a distant destinatin, but at the edge f yur cmfrt zne.
12. What d teenagers gain frm small travel challenges?
A. Prblem-slving abilities.B. Cking skills.
C. Language fluency.D. Driving skills.
13. What can be inferred abut meaningful travel?
A. It needs lng distance.B. It requires plane tickets.
C. It can be lcal trips.D. It must be expensive.
14. What strengthens family bnds during travel?
A. Shared mments.B. Turist attractins.C. Strict itineraries.D. Expensive gifts.
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The challenges f traveling with yung children.
B. Why internatinal travel is superir t lcal explratin.
C. The imprtance f planning detailed itineraries fr family trips.
D. Hw travel bradens perspectives and develps persnal grwth.

With a maximum life f mre than 200 years, the bwhead whale lives lnger than ther animals. But hw they survive s lng has never been fully explained. Nw scientists have fund clues f an answer and plan t see whether the same bilgical trick can be perfrmed in humans.
All living animals suffer DNA damage thrughut their lives. Cells attempt t mend the damage, but the repairs are nt always effective. This leads t mutatins (变异) building up , which can raise the risk f cancer and drive ageing by weakening cell functin.
Vera Grbunva, a bilgist, and her clleagues fund that bwhead whales were particularly gd at repairing a frm f DNA damage in which bth strands (链) f the DNA duble helix (DNA双螺旋) are brken. As a result, the whales have fewer mutatins. “What we’re finding is that these kinds f repairs are very imprtant fr lng life,” she said. Thrugh a series f experiments n whale cells, they shwed that DNA repair is enhanced by a prtein called CIRBP, which is started by cld expsure. Bwhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and prduce 100 times mre CIRBP than humans. “This strategy, which des nt eliminate (消除) damaged cells but faithfully repairs them, may be cntributing t the exceptinal lng life and lw cancer rates in the bwhead whale,” the researchers wrte in Nature.
The team went n t explre what happened when they increased levels f CIRBP in human cells. Bsting the prtein dubled the efficiency f the repair wrk that cells d t duble-strand breaks. Further experiments n flies (苍蝇) shwed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them mre resilient t mutatins.
Hw big a rle DNA repair plays in the bwhead whale’s lnger lifetime is unclear. They hpe t test whether cld-water swimmers, r thse wh take cld shwers, have raised levels f the prtein.
8. What type f DNA damage are bwhead whales particularly gd at repairing?
A. Single-strand breaks in DNA.
B. Damage t a prtein called CIRBP.
C. Mutatins caused by cld expsure.
D. Duble-strand breaks in the DNA duble helix.
9. What can be inferred abut the prtein CIRBP frm the passage?
A. Its prductin is influenced by envirnmental temperature.
B. It is unique t bwhead whales and nt fund in ther species.
C. It eliminates damaged cells t prevent cancer in whales.
D. It functins mre efficiently in human cells than in whale cells.
10. The underlined wrd “resilient” is similar in meaning t ______.
A. sensitiveB. sustainableC. resistantD. respnsive
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title?
A. D Bwhead Whales Live Lnger than Humans?
B. Can Bwhead Whales Help Us Live Lnger?
C. Can CIRBP Repair Stp Us frm Dying?

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Vera Grbunva, a bilgist, and her clleagues fund that bwhead whales were particularly gd at repairing a frm f DNA damage in which bth strands (链) f the DNA duble helix (DNA双螺旋) are brken.(生物学家薇拉·戈尔布诺娃和她的同事发现，弓头鲸特别擅长修复一种DNA损伤——DNA双螺旋的两条链都断裂的损伤)”可知，弓头鲸特别擅长修复DNA双螺旋中的双链断裂损伤。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thrugh a series f experiments n whale cells, they shwed that DNA repair is enhanced by a prtein called CIRBP, which is started by cld expsure. Bwhead whales spend their lives in Arctic waters and prduce 100 times mre CIRBP than humans.(通过对鲸鱼细胞的一系列实验，他们发现一种名为CIRBP的蛋白能增强DNA修复能力，这种蛋白是由低温暴露激活的。弓头鲸一生都生活在北极水域，其体内产生的CIRBP是人类的100倍)”可推断，CIRBP蛋白的产生受环境温度影响，低温会激活并促进其产生。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Further experiments n flies (苍蝇) shwed that extra CIRBP increased their lifetime and made them mre resilient t mutatins.(对苍蝇的进一步实验表明，额外的CIRBP延长了它们的寿命，并使它们对变异更具resilient)”可知，额外的CIRBP对苍蝇有积极作用，结合“延长寿命”可推测，resilient意为“有抵抗力的”，与resistant意思相近。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“With a maximum life f mre than 200 years, the bwhead whale lives lnger than ther animals. But hw they survive s lng has never been fully explained. Nw scientists have fund clues f an answer and plan t see whether the same bilgical trick can be perfrmed in humans.(弓头鲸的最长寿命超过200 年，比其他动物都长。但它们如何能存活这么久，从未被完全解释过。现在，科学家们找到了答案的线索，并计划研究这种相同的生物学机制是否能在人类身上实现)” 可知，文章开篇就点明核心：弓头鲸长寿的原因未知，科学家找到线索并计划探索其机制能否应用于人类，帮助人类延长寿命。B选项“弓头鲸能帮助我们延长寿命吗？”贴合文章核心主旨，可作为标题。故选B项。

Travel isn’t always enjyable, especially with yung children. Airprts with endless security lines, never-ending car rides with nisy kids, and public meltdwns (哭闹) in snack shps can easily turn a much-anticipated trip int mments f regret. Yet these challenges are eventually wrthwhile — travel transfrms ur wrldview by placing us in smene else’s “nrmal”. When we encunter freign street signs, taste unfamiliar cuisines, r hear cnversatins in unknwn languages, we’re vividly reminded that ur way f life is just ne f the rich human lifestyles.
Fr teenagers, this shift in perspective develps sympathy, tlerance, and intellectual curisity. They begin questining cultural nrms: Why d peple queue differently here? Hw has this sciety’s histry shaped their daily habits? Even seemingly small challenges — explring a cmplex subway system r understanding a menu written in anther language — build strng persnalities and prblem-slving abilities. These experiences teach them t adapt, cmmunicate acrss differences, and trust their wn judgment in unfamiliar situatins.
Yunger children gain simpler but equally greater benefits: patience while waiting in lines, flexibility when plans change unexpectedly, and curage t try new things. A child wh helps pack their suitcase, carries their wn backpack, r selects a daily activity learns practical respnsibility. Shared family mments — whether watching a breathtaking sunrise ver a muntain r finding their way back t the htel tgether after getting lst — create lasting memries that strengthen emtinal bnds. The true value f travel lies nt in checking ff turist attractins but in being fully present. Chse ne cre purpse fr yur trip — explring histry, cnnecting with nature, r simply enjying family time — and build yur itinerary (行程) arund that. Remember, meaningful travel desn’t require a plane ticket; day trips t nearby twns, cultural festivals in yur city, r even visits t different neighbrhds can ffer similar grwth. The real jurney begins nt at a distant destinatin, but at the edge f yur cmfrt zne.
12. What d teenagers gain frm small travel challenges?
A. Prblem-slving abilities.B. Cking skills.
C. Language fluency.D. Driving skills.
13. What can be inferred abut meaningful travel?
A. It needs lng distance.B. It requires plane tickets.
C. It can be lcal trips.D. It must be expensive.
14. What strengthens family bnds during travel?
A. Shared mments.B. Turist attractins.C. Strict itineraries.D. Expensive gifts.
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The challenges f traveling with yung children.
