25、fun.On our second night in the hut, I heard my 10-year-olds shallow(浅的) cough. I moved him to the living area and tried to help him settle. Thats when I noticed his racing heartbeat. As he got back to sleep, I watched his breathing become increasingly shallow and felt his heart still racing. I immed
26、iately suspected altitude sickness(高原反应). I know the best treatment for altitude-related illnesses is to simply go to the lower ground. But when I looked outside at the massive snowy mountains, it was maybe 1am, and I wondered if that might actually be riskier than staying put.I woke my husband up w
27、hen Sams breathing became more labored, and then he began making a gurgling sound. Around 3: 30 am, we decided it was time to descend. We loaded our packs and made plans for our sleeping 7-year-old to leave with our friends later that day. I watched Sam struggle to breathe as I dressed him in warm c
28、lothes. My tiny headlamp brightened the snowy track. Sam improved with every few feet. He was even better after dropping 800 feet to the car. On the drive, he started to recover. He breathed normally. His heart rate was normal. A follow-up doctors visit confirmed hed recovered: his lungs were clear;
29、 his heart rate and pulse oxygen were normalNow that Sam is safe, some of my anxiety is displaced by gratitude. Im grateful to my friends who helped us and kept me calm. Im grateful I knew and recognized the signs of altitude sickness. Be aware, prepared, and ready to solve problems. And I m most gr

33、aving a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world c
34、ouldnt possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with
35、 the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals
36、every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By
37、 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same degree as climate
38、 change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers(否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone
39、can do it. We know how to dispose(处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.43. Why

What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left
43、viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.DWe all need to eat. So, meals could be a chance for us to stop what were doing and spend time with the people in our lives. But sometimes they are not. However, could eating too many meals alone be a bad for our health or affect
44、our future success? Several studies show that it might be for some people. A recent study suggests that frequently eating alone may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high bloo
45、d pressure and diabetes(糖尿病).For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes -it is also about developing good ones. Several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on a child. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong link.A report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD ) points out that teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about whats goi
