How to plan your routes to avoid busy places
Whether you are a beginner or already a regular runner, these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.
Strava
Just put in whether you’re running or cycling, how far you’d like to go and whether you’re keen to avoid hills, the app will then suggest a number of routes near you, based on where other runners have been. It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.
Komoot
As you plan the route, it’ll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input
your running speed, allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.
Map my run
Map my run gives runners the option to plan their own route, or the ability to search through popular running routes near you, which is even more helpful for beginners. The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you get lost mid-run.
OS Maps
Another hugely popular map-building platform, OS Maps is pretty high tech when it comes to planning a running route. You’ll need a subscription to get some of the features, but using the free app you can find local running routes. There are almost two million routes stored in the routes database, and many of them are free.
1. What is special about Strava?
A. It can be used to play music.
B. It is pretty high technology.
C. It can plan cycling routes.
D. It works out the distance of your run.
2. Which is the best choice for beginners to plan their own route?
A. Map my run.

One day, Amanda was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer of an early stage. During this time, she was admitted to a college. She planned to save money to meet the college expense and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.
Her father, Clint and her friends didn’t want her to put off her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group named Praynksters, known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormous assistance from the local community.
Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family over $13, 000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope
seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. She is still humbled by it all.
After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them.
4. Why did Amanda postpone her treatment of cancer?
A. She didn't care about her disease.
B. She had to take care of her family.
C. She was in a bad economic situation.
D. She couldn’t find an effective treatment.
5. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Brought about.
B. Made up.
C. Gave away.
D. Set about.
6. Which of the following best describes Amanda?
A. Shameful but caring.
B. Kind-hearted and grateful.
C. Curious and warm-hearted.

D. A GoFundMe campaign is actually a crowdfunding activity.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】

C
Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化).
Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360- degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.
Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So,our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.
Finally, there is often more than one potential “solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.
8. Why do humans have no rear view eyes?
A. They are bad for human survival.
B. They are replaced by other organs.
C. They are less likely to spot the danger.
D. They are abandoned by natural selection.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To explain why animals have other functional
B. To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival,
C. To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.
D. To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection,
10. What does the underlined word“that" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The visible threat behind the head.
B. Sensitive hearing.
C. The Sou sound behind the head.
D. Rear vision.
11. Where does the text most likely com from?
A. A travel brochure.
B. A fiction.
C. A science magazine.
D. A book review.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。

文章主要向我们解释了人类的眼睛没有长在脑后的原因。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第一段内容“Why don’t we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes don’t fit well into the human evolution (进化).”（为什么我们的眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。

眼睛从生物学角度上说是昂贵的东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化）可知，人类没有后视的眼睛是因为它们并不适合人类的进化，被自然选择所抛弃。

故选D项。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

通读第二段内容，根据关键句“Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important.”（即使是兔子等主要生存优势是后视的动物，也只有侧眼。

后视并不是那么重要。

）可知，本段主要通过列举兔子、蜘蛛和鸟类的例子，告诉我们后视并不是那么重要，它并不是生存的必备条件。

由此可知，第二段的主要目的是说明后视并不是生存的必要条件。

故选B项。

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据画线单词上句“Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible.”（只有在潜在威胁是可以看见的时候，后视才有用。

）可知，后视只对脑后发生的可见的威胁是有用的。

由此可知，that代指的是“脑后的可见的威胁”，画线词所在句子表示“在人类进化过程中，脑后的可见的威胁的情况并不经常发生。

”，“The visible threat behind the head”意为
“脑后的可见的威胁”，符合句意。

故选A项。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

通读全文，结合文章第一段内容“Why don’t we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes don’t fit well into the human evolution (进化).”（为什么我们的眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。

眼睛从生物学角度上说是昂贵的东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化。

）可知，本文主要向我们解释了人类的眼睛没有长在脑后的原因，这是一篇科普知识类的文章，因此，文章最有可能选自一本科学杂志。

故选C项。

D
The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.
The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a“climate action summit (峰会)”to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Deter-mined Contributions (NDCs), under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 3℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting global warming to 1. 5℃.
"This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.
The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "“world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.
The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint (共同的) effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically.
It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning
newoil-fueled car sales by 2030，had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.
12. Why did the UK declare its new goal before “climate action summit”?
A. To show its former plans are based on facts.
B. To blame other countries for their low goals.
C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.
D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
13. What is the UK’s new goal for reducing emissions?
A. 15%.
B. 68%.
C. 57%.
D. 53%.
14. What's the author s attitude to the UK's new goal?
A. Disapproval.
B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned.
D. Subjective.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A new goal will be put forward on“climate action summit"
B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris Agreement
C. UK's recent major policies are far from its predetermined goal
D. UK sets an ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。

文章讲述了英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段中的“The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a “climate action summit（峰会）” to encourage other countries to declare tougher clima te plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions（NDCs）, under the Paris Agreement.”（这一新目标是在英国主办“气候行动峰会”的九天前提出的，该峰会旨在鼓励其他国家根据《巴黎协定》宣布更严厉的气候计划，即国家确定贡献（简称NDC）。

）可知英国在“气候行动峰会”前宣布新目标是为了鼓励其他国家根据《巴黎协定》宣布更严厉的气候计划（更大的国家确定贡献），即呼吁其他国家对气候变化采取更大的措施。

故选C项。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

由第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions（排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.”（英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%，比目前的目标有了显著的提高。

）可知英国减排的新目标是减少68%。

故
【14题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后一段中的“It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032.”（显然，如果英国要实现这一新目标，还需要采取更多的行动。

英国政府自己上周的分析显示，最近出台的一些主要措施，比如在2030年之前禁止销售新的石油燃料汽车，也不能使英国走上正轨，即使是在2032年之前实现57%的旧目标。

）可知英国要实现减排68%的新目标还需更多的行动，而且最近的分析显示，实施的主要措施也难以让英国走上减排68%的正轨，可得出作者对英国的新目标持怀疑态度。

故选B项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions（排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.”（英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%，这比目前的目标有了显著提高。

）结合全文内容，可知第一段讲“英国提出温室气体减排68%的新目标”，第二三段“详细地介绍新目标提出的背景”，第四段讲“这一新目标的优势”，第五段讲“英国此前的减排目标”，最后一段讲“作者对英国新目标的实现持怀疑态度”，可知文章主要介绍了英国设定了到2030年减排68%的雄心勃勃的气候目标。

“英国制定了一个雄心勃勃的气候目标，到2030年减排68%”最适合作文章标题。

故选D项。
