Backpackers are all too familiar with the uncomfortable burden of a heavy bag, but scientists are
investigating methods to lighten the load. A recent study by a Chinese research team introduced a
backpack design that significantly reduces the amount of energy required by the user to carry it.
Typically, as a person takes a step, the load inside their backpack often shifts up and down,
pushing against the inside of the backpack with extra force, which can make the bag feel heavier than
it actually is. "A backpack capable of minimizing these forces addresses a real pain point for many
people who carry heavy loads during commuting,hiking, or running," says Yanhe Zhu, a researcher
at the Harbin Institute of Technology. "A product that can reduce this burden while enhancing
comfort and flexibility would likely be very appealing."
Unlike existing suspension backpacks that use energy- consuming motors, Zhu and his team
developed one that requires almost no external power. The backpack uses springs and sticks to
balance the load, while a motor-controlled dampener (阻尼器) prevents the load from hitting the bag's
walls. When the load moves close to the walls, the dampener adjusts to cancel out the movement, and
the energy it uses is sent back to the motor. This means only a small amount of power is needed to
control the system, making it much more energy-efficient than other designs that need extra power
for the motor.
In experiments, volunteers wore both a regular backpack and the new design while walking on a
walking test platform. The results demonstrated that the new design reduced energy use by over 11%
compared to a conventional backpack.
Zhu believes this technology holds significant commercial potential, and is interested in
exploring ways to introduce it to market. "Our following task will involve integrating intelligent
algorithms(算法:) to enable the suspension backpack to adjust to a broader range of movement
patterns, such as jumping,"says Zhu.

An alarming phenomenon has sprung up over the past few years: Many students are arriving at
college unprepared to read entire books. Professors said they've seen a generational change in how
their students engage with literature. Students feel stressed at the thought of reading multiple books a
semester.
Why is this happening? The attraction of smartphones and social media came up, and it appears
that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books. But a deeper cause is a change in
values, not ability. The problem does not appear to be that "kids these days" are incurious or
uninterested in reading. Instead, young people might be responding to a cultural message: Books just
aren't that important.
The professors didn't think thcir students were lazy. If anything, they were shocked at how
overscheduled and anxious college kids are today - and they saw that their students' schedules are
crowded with activities that are less about personal development and more relevant to future
employment. "There are too many demands on their time and focus to devote themselves easily or
fully to works of literature that might take 20 hours to consume,” James Shapiro, an. English
professor at Columbia, said.
In 1971, 37 percent of students said that a central objective of their college years was to become
well-off financially. 73 percent said it was to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. By 2015, those
numbers had almost completely switched. 82 percent of students said that it was essential for them to
use college to become well- off financially, while 47 percent said they wanted to develop a
_
meaningful philosophy of life. Experts and parents alike have emphasized preprofessional courses
and downplayed the importance of humanistie study. In this environment, spending hours reading a
novel may seem unproductive.
In some ways, this is a hopeful conclusion: If we've shifted what we value, then it stands to
reason that we could, as a society, shift back. The responsibility doesn't lie only with Gen Z.
Everyone who's upset about the change has a role to play in turning it around.
32. What is the main concern raised in paragraph 1?
A. Students' struggle with literature.
B. Professors'dissatisfaetion with students.
C. Universities' failure to prepare students.
D. Students' declining interest in classie works.
33. What ean be inferred from James Shapiro's words?
A. Students can't manage time properly.
B. Students prefer to read shorter materials.
C. Students have no ability to focus on lengthy texts.
D. Students are too occupied to fully appreciate literature.
高三英语(二模)一5
34. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To show students' stress and anxiety.
B. To illustrate the shift in students' priorities
C. To highlight the significance of personal growth.
D. To argue for the value of preprofessional courses.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. What Are the Challenges of Modern Education?
B. Why Are College Students Avoiding Literature?
C. Can Society Restore the Value of Reading Literature?
D. How Has Technology Redefined Reading for Students?

Vertical farming, a method of growing plants in layered arrangements, is becoming an
increasingly popular solution to urhan food production challenges. 36 By using vertical space,it
allows more food to be grown in smaller areas, making it ideal for cities with limited land.
The first step in establishing a vertical farm is to choose a suitable location. Indoor spaces like
warehouses, abandoned buildings, or even repurposed shipping containers are often used. 37 In
such spaces,factors like light, temperahre, and humidity can be precisely monitored and adjusted
This ensures that plants receive the right amount of light, water, and nutrients, regardless of outdoor
weather conditions.
Once the location is secured, a water-based or air-based growing system is set up to deliver
water and nutrients direcily to the plants' roots. These systems not only use significantly less water
than traditional farming methods but also get rid of the need for soil and reduce the risk of pests.
38_
Choosing the right crops is also crucial. Some plants, like leafy greens and herbs, have short
growth cycles and require minimal space. 39 For instance, lettuce and basil are frequcntly
grown in vertical farms, as they grow rapidly and are highly sought after in urban markets.
40 The initial setup costs for lighting, irrigation systems, and climate control can be high.
However, the long-term benefits, such as reduced transportation costs and year-round production,
often outweigh these expenses.
A. These environments provide controlled conditions.
B. It is an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture.
C. Vertical farming has advantages but also faces challenges.
D. This technology is still in its early stages of development.
E. As a result, traditional farming methods are being replaced.
F. These characteristics make them perfect for vertical farming.
G. This makes vertical farming more efficient and eco-friendly.

As someone who takes a bus to work on a regular basis, I often catch people drawing or writing
on the seats and even windows of the bus. It's an annoying sight, especially when I see the marks left
behind on what should be clean and shared public spaces. However, I usually hesitate to stop them.
unsure of how to approach the situation without causing unnecessary conflict.
The other day, when I got on my usual bus home, I noticed it was unusually quiet. The bus was
mostly empty, with only a few primary school students and their parents seated in the largely unoccu-
pied rows. Among them, a little girl carrying a drawing board eaught my eye. Her mother, holding a
school bag, followed closely. They made their way to the back of the bus and setled into the seat next
to mine. The girl, no older than eight, had an air of innocence about her, her eyes wide with curiosity
Her mother, with a kind and warm expression, listened attentively to her daughter's lively talk, nod
ding and smiling as the girl spoke excitedly.
The girl's voice was filled with excitement as she talked about her day."Mom, today we learned
how to draw trees with shading! Look, I can show you!" she said, her words flowing out eagerly. Her
mother smiled, her eyes wrinkling at the corners, and replied,"That's wonderful! Why don't you
draw it again for me so I can see how much better you've gotten?" The mother. then took out a pencil
and asked the girl to draw what she had learned in class. The little girl, pencil in hand, glanced
around for a place to draw.
My heart sank. I prepared myself for what I thought would be another act of damage - a pencil
scratching against the back of the seat and leaving yet another mark on public property.
