A Great Activities for Nature Lovers Hiking One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hikin g generally doesn’t require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it. Backcountry Camping Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced
hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
Gardening
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There’s something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn’t have to break your budget and anyone can do it.
1. What does hiking need for hikers?
A. A world map.
B. A strong desire.
C. Practical skills.
D. Necessary equipment.
2. Where will you go to show your survival potential in the wild?
A. To a backyard.
B. To a forest.
C. To a mountain.
D. To a distant place.
3. Which of the following can take you to travel farthest?
A. Hiking
B. Backcountry Camping
C. Gardening.
D. Mountain and Road Biking
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D

After my girlfriend, Liz, and I had dated for about a year, and a few years before we got married, she joined me, my parents and my sister's family on a ski trip in Stowe, Vermont. I was in my late 30s, it was the first family vacation I'd been on in years, and it was the first such holiday Liz had ever taken with my relatives.
But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like. To make matters worse, our rented cabin was close to the ski hills but far from anything else. There was no Internet, and the only entertainment was a few board games and a single television.
For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice) and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. Cabin fever set in quickly. At one point, my mom literally fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to wrest it from her hands. My brother-in-law was downing a bottle of port and a bottle of white wine nightly. Amazed, but also alarmed, Liz confronted me in our bedroom:
“What is wrong with your family?” I remember well her crazed laughter as she said it.
Then it snowed, but only at the top of the mountain—a very tall and fearsome peak. We scrambled, drove to the lift, and took it up. But as we climbed higher into quiet, dense cloud, Liz began to look unusual. When I asked her what was wrong, she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill, which is for beginners to ski down. When she said that, she took hold of my arm tightly. “A bunny hill!” The lift let us off at the summit of a professional ski run at the top of the mountain.
My family, without a look back, disappeared down the hill. Liz got off the lift and fell at the first attempt. She took off her skis and promptly got back on the lift, taking it back down to the lodge and the relative safety of a large glass of wine.
Did I say it was her first vacation with my family? It was also her last.
4. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was the first time for Liz to attend a family vacation.
B. The ski conditions were very good when they reached Stowe.
C. Maybe it was a bit warm in that January.
D. The author's mother abused his niece for a remote control.
5. What's the meaning of the sentence underlined in the third paragraph?
A. Someone got a high fever in the cabin in no time.
B. They felt bored and restless for staying in the cabin.
C. They made the cabin warm enough.
D. The life in the cabin was alive and interesting. 6. Why did Liz look unusual when they climbed higher to go skiing? A. Because she was too excited to ski. B Because everything looked unusual. C. Because she scrambled and climbed for a long time. D. Because she was frightened at the thought of skiing there. 7. What can we infer from the article?
A. Without a look, the author's family didn’t care for Liz.
B. Liz's skiing experience was limited.
C. Liz went down to the hill without trying skiing.
D. The author and Liz broke up after that family vacation.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B

这是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲述了作者女友第一次和作者家人去滑雪的经历。

那年一月较暖和，他们一直在小屋内等着下雪，但在小屋待着让他们感到无聊和不安。

终于等到下了些小雪，作者女友因为滑雪经验不足，不敢在山顶滑。

作者认为这可能女友是第一次，也是最后一次和他的家人一起度假。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段的“But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like.”（但是滑雪假期只有滑雪条件好才行，而那年一月像春天一样）可知，那年的一月比较暖和。

故选C。

【5题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据划线部分上文“For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice) and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. ”（几天以来，我们在等着下雪的同时看了没完没了的CNN的节目（这是妈妈的选择）和海绵宝宝（我六岁侄女的选择），玩拼字游戏以及喝酒））和下文“At one point, my mom literally fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to wrest it from her hands. My brother-in-law was downing a bott le of port and a bottle of white wine nightly. ”（有一次，我妈妈为了遥控器和我的侄女打了起来，甚至坐在她身上从她手里夺过遥控器。

我姐夫每天晚上都会喝下一瓶波特酒和一瓶白葡萄酒）可知，几天以来作者一家待在小房子里，无聊地看着电视节目和玩游戏，作者妈妈和他的侄女之间还发生了肢体冲突，而姐夫每天喝得伶仃大醉。

由此推知，划线句子的意思是“待在小屋让他们无聊、不安”。

故选B。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段的“When I asked her what wa s wrong, she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill, which is for beginners to ski down. When
she said that, she took hold of my arm tightly. ”（当我问她怎么了时，她才说她只去过一个小山丘，那是给初学者滑雪的。

她说着，紧紧地抓着我的胳膊）可知，作者的女朋友从来没有到这样的高度滑过雪，并且还紧紧拉着作者的胳膊。

由此推知，她看起来和平时不一样，是因为在山顶滑雪让她感到害怕。

故选D。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段的“When I asked her what was wrong,she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill, which is for beginners to ski down. ”（当我问她怎么了时，她才说她只去过一个小山丘，那是给初学者滑雪的。

）和最后一段“Liz got off the lift and fell at the first atte mpt. ”（Liz下了电梯，第一次尝试就摔倒了。

）可知，Liz刚学会滑雪不久，并且这次滑雪第一次尝试就摔倒了。

由此推知，Liz的滑雪经验不足。

故选B。

Studying how people move to music is a powerful tool for researchers looking to understand how and why music affects us the way it does. Over the last few years, researchers at the Center for Interdisciplinary Music Research in Finland have used motion capture (运动捕捉) technology to learn that your dance moves say a lot about you, such as what mood you happen to be in, and even how much you understand other people's feelings. Recently, however, they discovered something amazing.
In fact, we weren't looking for this result, as we set out to study something completely different, explains Dr. Emily Carlson, the first author of the study. “Our original idea was to see if we could u se machines to identify which category of music our participants were dancing to, based on their movements.”
The 73 participants in the study were motion captured dancing to eight different categories. The only instruction they received was to listen to the music and move any way they felt natural. The researchers then analyzed their movements using machine learning, trying to distinguish between the different kinds of music. Unfortunately, their computer algorithm (算法) was able to identify the correct kind less than 30% of the time. They were shocked to discover, however, that the computer could correctly identify which of the 73 individuals was dancing 94% of the time.
Left to chance (that is, if the computer had simply guessed without any information to go on), the expected accuracy would be less than 2%.
“It seems as though a personas dance movements are a kind of fingerprint,” says Dr. Pasi Saari, co-author of the study and data analyst, “Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing.” Some kinds, however, had more effect on individual dance movements than others. The computer was less accurate in identifying individuals when they were dancing to Metal music.
8. What did the researchers originally intend to find?
A. What dance moves could say about people.
B. Whether computers could tell dancers' music category.
C. How dance movements reflected one's personality.
D. What effects music category had on dance moves.
9. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. Dance movements depend on the kind of music.
B. All participants don't have their specific dance moves.
C. Computers are better at recognizing music category.
D. A person's dance style almost remains unchanged.
10. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform readers of the finding of a study.
B. To explain the link between dance and music.
C. To tell the differences in various music dances.
D. To show how powerful the computer is.
11. Which is the text probably taken from?
A. A scientific magazine.
B. A biology textbook.
C. A book review.
D. A health newspaper.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章讲述了，一个人的舞蹈动作就像是一种指纹，不受伴奏的音乐风格的影响。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段中的“Our original idea was to see if we could use machines to identify which category of music our participants were dancing to, based on their movements.”（我们最初的想法是，看看我们是否可以使用机器，根据参与者的动作，识别出他们是在哪一类音乐下跳舞的。

），可知研究人员最初打算看机器是否能区分舞者的音乐类别。

故选B项。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

由最后一段中的“Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing.”（每个人都有一个独特的动作特征，无论演奏什么样的音乐，它都保持不变。

），可知每个人独特的舞蹈动作会保持不变，说明一个人的舞蹈风格几乎不变。

故选D项。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

由其他段落关于“舞蹈动作与音乐风格”的相关研究和最后一段中的““It seems as though a personas dance movements are a kind of fingerprint,” says Dr. Pasi Saari, co-author of the study and data analyst, “Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing.””（“似乎一个人的舞蹈动作是一种指纹，”这项研究的合著者和数据分析师帕西·萨里博士说，“每个人都有一个独特的动作特征，无论演奏什么样的音乐，它都保持不变。

”），可知本文主要介绍了一项研究发现：一个人的舞蹈动作是独特的，不受伴奏的音乐风格的影响，可知课文的目的是告诉读者一项研究发现。

故选A项。

D
One in four people around the world is at the risk of facing dangerous water shortages. Seventeen countries face “extremely high water stress” because they use 80 percent of their available water each year. The situation is made worse by a rise in dry periods linked to climate change, the World Resources Institute (WRI) said.
New information from WRI's Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas showed the countries suffering most are in and around the Middle East and North Africa. The Atlas helps governments, investors, and other users understand where and how water risks arise worldwide. It uses a special method and the best-available data to create customizable global maps of water risks.
Qatar is the most water-stressed country, followed by Israel. India ranks 13th among “extremely high” water-stressed nations. But with a population of more than 1.3 billion, it has more than three times the people in the other 16 countries combined, which means besides plenty of fresh water, much more is demanded for Indian daily life, agricultural development etc., resulting in the higher likelihood of water shortages for the country than the other 16.
India's city, Chennai, was the latest city worldwide to warn it could be without water, as water storage levels fell. “That followed a similar announcement from Cape Town last year. It’s good that there's just one city mentioned,” said Betsy Otto, Director of WRI's Global Water Program. “But more of these kinds of “Day Zeros” are round the comer. And soon, the situation will be different, with more people put in a tight spot.”Many things threaten the worlds water supplies, from climate change to poor supervision, according to WRI. “High dependence on groundwater supplies, which are decreasing, is an added concern,” Paul Reig said. He leads work on the WRI Atlas. Reig noted groundwater supplies are difficult to manage because they're deep below the Earth’s surface. Nearly a third of fresh water is groundwater. “It's poorly understood. We have got to get down studying it deeply and quickly, working for more available fresh water?”
12. What does the WRI Atlas serve as?
A. A database about water storage and supplies.
B. A tool offering information about water risks.
C. A company collecting water-related information.
D. An institute concerning water-stressed countries.
13. What's Otto's attitude to future water conditions?
A. Concerned.
B. Optimistic.
C. Doubtful.
D. Cautious.
14. What do Reig’s words imply?
A. Climate change threatens the world's water supply.
B. High dependence on groundwater is decreasing.
C. Further research is needed on groundwater.
D. New ways should be adopted for fresh water.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The situation of water stress and potential solutions.
B. The effects water stress has on each country.
C. The reason why water stress should be overcome.
D. The cause of global water stress.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A

year. It’s good that there's just one city mentioned,’ said Betsy Otto, Director of WRI's Glo bal Water Program. ‘But more of these kinds of ‘Day Zeros’ are round the comer. And soon, the situation will be different, with more people put in a tight spot.’(WRI全球水项目主任Betsy Otto说：‘此前，开普敦去年也宣布了类似的消息。

只有一个城市被提及，这很好。

但是，更多的‘零日’即将到来。

很快，情况就会有所不同，更多的人将陷入困境。

’)”可推知，Otto对未来水资源状况持关心态度。

故选A。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中“It's poorly understood. We have got to get down studying it deeply and quickly, working for more available fresh water?(人们对它知之甚少。

我们必须迅速深入地研究它，为获得更多可用的淡水而努力)”可推知，Reig的话表明地下水需要进一步研究。

故选C。

【15题详解】

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

作者就“学生如何正确地选择适合自己的大学”给出了一些建议。

【16题详解】
上一句“With the growing pressure to provide various value, most of their leaflets present institutions as being a “leader” in a specific field, like academic research, student satisfaction, graduate employability and so on.(随着提供各种价
值的压力越来越大，他们的传单大多将院校描述为某一特定领域的“领导者”，如学术研究、学生满意度、毕业生就业能力等)”说明了很多大学院校在宣传的时候，将自己描述为某个方面很突出，例如学术研究、学生满意度、毕业生就业能力等，这样就给了即将升入大学的学生多种选择，面对这么多选择，学生们该如何做决定。

因此，C项“With so many choices, how can you make an informed decision?(有这么多选择，你怎么能做出明智的决定？) ”承上启下，引出后续段落中一些如何选择大学的一些建议。

故选C项。

【17题详解】
上一句“So it’s a good idea to, above all, figure out what your dream university is like, and then go to the universities “in the flesh” on the open day to get a feel for the place.(所以，最好先弄清楚自己梦想中的大学是什么样子，然后在开放日“亲自”地去大学感受一下这个地方)”以及下一句“Remember that there is no such thing as the best university — only the best fit for you.(记住，只有最适合你的才是大学。

)”可知，作者建议先去心仪中的大学切身体会和感受一下，感受一下这个大学真实的样子是否适合自己，是自己的需要。

因此，A选项“Compare what you really see with what you actually need(比较一下你真正看到的和你真正需要的)”切题，该选项中的“really”与上文中的“in the flesh”相呼应，故选A项。

【18题详解】
下一句“And then prepare a list of questions about the aspects of university life.”作者建议，“接下来（然后）”准备一份关于大学生活方面的问题清单。

在该空处应该谈到的是“首先”应该做的一些与探访大学相关的建议。

因此，E项“Conduct some online research to decide on a few universities you’d like to visit first.(进行一些网上调查，决定你想先参观的几所大学)”切题。

该句中的“first”与下一句中的“And then”相呼应。

故选E项。

【19题详解】
上一句“Answers may be collected both during your visits and from talks with seniors. You need to make plenty of notes!(你可以在拜访期间与高年级人的谈话中收集答案。

你需要做很多笔记！)”可知，作者建议在探访大学期间做笔记，记录与高年级的人的一些重要谈话，以便于更好地了解这个大学是否适合自己。

因此，G项“Otherwise the conversation and experience you’ve had will mix together after a few visits.(否则，你的谈话和经历会在几次访问后混合在一起)”承上启下，下一句进一步谈到“You’ll
start to forget important things unless you put them down.(除非你把重要的事情放下，否则你会开始忘记它们)”，且该选项中的“mix together”与下文中的“forget”相呼应。

故选G项。

【20题详解】
根据上一句“It doesn’t matter how famous the university is(这所大学有多有名并不重要)”和下一句“If you don’t enjoy your course, then chances are you will fail to maximize your potential. It’s your choice, so make the best of it.(如果你不喜欢你的课程，那么你很可能无法最大限度地发挥你的潜能)”可知，作者建议在选择大学的时候，要将课程放在首位，而不是这个大学多么有名，因此，D选项“Remember to make sure you prioritize your course over the university.(记住要确保你的课程优先于大学)”切题，该选项起到承上启下的作用。

故选D项。
