Just Cycle And fold away

There’s no excuse not to get on your bike this spring. Get your indoor cycling fix and feel the benefits.

Great for general cardio (有氧的) fitness, exercise bikes can be a brilliant way of training at home. However, choosing the right bike is incredibly important, which is something that Roger Black and his team recognized when creating the Roger Black Folding Bike.

“Excellent value for money. Especially the ability to fold the exercise bike into a vertical (直立的) position and wheel it away for storage. This can also prevent you from throwing your clothes on it at the end of the day! Even if we are limited on space at home and work, we can continue physical activity with a Roger Black folding bike. This bike is helping me achieve my fitness goals following a recent running injury.”

——Brian Smith

“Best Present EVER are the words from my 77-year-old father who received his Roger Black fitness bike for his birthday. He said it is so simple and easy to use. The seat is VERY comfortable, so using it every day is a pleasure. It folds away nearly so it can be stored behind a door when necessary.”

——Anna Farnham

A．A textbook. article.

My grandfather was a rigid (刻板的) perfectionist. Everything had to be orderly, precise and punctual. I was frightened of him until the day he died. Growing up, my mother desperately wanted to please him. She probably thought he might leave if she didn’t.

In fact, I now think the fear of being left alone, abandoned, was a current throughout much of her life. A few years into my father suffering from Alzheimer’s, my mother’s voice on the phone sounded so upset that I had to tell her, “Just be with yourself for a little while. Be calm and everything can be better.”

“No, I can’t do that. I don’t want to do that,” she said suddenly, closing the door on the subject. A while after my father died, she told me that she kept the television on all the time because it made her feel less lonely. “It makes the house seem to have more people living in it,” she said. I had given in to my annoyance and either turned the volume down or turned it off. But after she told me that it filled in some of the loneliness, I never reached for the remote control again.

We have had a long journey together, she and I. Over a half-century of memories, now that the journey has ended, I have a choice which ones to study and which ones to turn over in my hands and dust off (抹去).

I choose to look at the ones that ache with a sweet truth not told often enough. There was love between us. It was just hard to find sometimes. I choose to remember her face on that winter day in Manhattan, when I came to her with a broken heart. I choose to remember walking on the shore with her in summers when we rented a beach house. Somehow the sea always changed us. I choose to remember how she looked on my wedding day when she handed me a bracelet (手镯) that had belonged to my grandmother. “Something old,” she

A．She took her to see her grandmother. B．She arranged a tour in Manhattan. C．She offered her a present. D．She rented a beach house.

We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted (打断). But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.

Using a set of controlled audio clips, Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.

Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two groups: high and low Intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally

试卷第5页，共11页

uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.

The differences in conversational styles became obvious when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.

“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.” 28．What does Hilton’s research focus on?

A．What interruptions mean to people. B．Whether interruption is good or not. C．How to avoid getting interrupted. D．Why speakers interrupt each other. 29．What do participants of the study need to do?

A．Record an audio clip. C．Listen to one another.

B．Answer some questions. D．Have a chat with a friend.

30．What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?

A．It’s important. C．It’s inefficient.

31．What can we learn from Hilton’s research?

A．Conversational styles affect perceptions of interruptions. B．Communication is the very basis of our everyday life. C．Interruptions during conversations contribute to thinking. D．Language barriers will always exist regardless of the content.

The masked shrew is one of the smallest mammals(哺乳动物) in North America, only a few inches long. However, it recently made a giant jump. Over the past few decades, the tiny

shrew has migrated more than 4,000 feet on both sides of the Rocky Mountains. And it’s not the only one.

Studies in other parts of the world have suggested that mountain animals are climbing higher. Lead study author Christy McCain, an ecologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, and her co-authors Sarah King and Tim Szewezyk wanted to show it is true in the Rockies.

The new study looked at 47 different species of small mammals in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. First, the researchers studied the small mammal samples (样本) collected in Colorado over the last few decades and built a database on where these mammals were typically found and how high up. Next, they conducted a series of field surveys in the Colorado Rockies, counting small mammals and recording where each species is found today. They then calculated how much each mammal population has moved over the last few decades.

They found that 26 of the 47 species studied had moved upward over time. Masked shrews were among the species with the largest jumps, climbing a total of about 4,500 feet. McCain noted that species with the largest upward jumps tend to share some important characteristics. Most of them are animals specifically adapted to cold weather. 11 of the 47 mammal species actually shifted downward. McCain noted they may be less sensitive to mountain warming. Six species do not appear to have changed at all. And four species have completely disappeared from the mountains in the period between the 1980s and now.

“This is the first indication,” McCain said, “that large animal communities are responding to climate change.” The findings are consistent with the conclusions of other studies around the world — that mountain ecosystems are sensitive to climate change and wildlife in these places is already responding to the pressure, both of which can urge humans to change the current situation.

32．Why did Christy McCain and her team do the study?

A．To collect data of mountain animals. C．To prove the previous conclusions.

B．To urge humans to change the situation. D．To assess the effects of climate change.

33．What does the study find about mountain mammals?

A．Many species have disappeared.

B．None have shifted downward.

C．Those going higher are sensitive to cold. D．Many are affected by climate change. 34．What can the findings function as?

A．A wake-up call.

B．A climate reminder.

C．A pressure response.

35．What’s the main theme of the text?

D．A situation changer.

A．Mountain mammals climb higher to beat the heat. B．Cold-adapted species suffer a lot in the Rockies. C．Climate change is making the Rockies unlivable. D．Small mammals are vital to mountain ecosystems.

五、七选五

The biggest risk I’ve ever taken was quitting my job and biking alone across western China. 36 So it was a huge physical challenge but I got stronger every day, and eventually, I could easily bike for eight hours each day.

One of the best parts of the whole experience was the people. I met people from across China and once got to attend a an wedding-something I never thought I would do. 37 One time I even met a group of Chinese men traveling by motorcycle, who invited me to cook fish that they caught in the lake over a fire with wood. Another instance was when I met a group of cyclists. They were in their 60s and 70s and still cycling better than I was. 38

The people were some of the best parts of the trip, but mostly each day, I was alone with nature. Throughout the rolling hills and the flowing streams, western China is home to some of the most amazing scenery in the world. 39 With thick forests, icy glaciers, and peaceful lakes, there is so much to see in China.

40 I got to taste local snacks in every place I went. There are so many different options! My favorite was the cooking of Sichuan, a province known for its hot flavors and interesting dishes. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods.

It was indeed an experience I will never forget. If anyone has an interest in traveling, I would highly recommend going by bicycle!

A．It simply took my breath away.

B．My family were shocked and tried to talk me out of it. C．The food was definitely another highlight of my journey. D．I had never biked for more than two hours in one day before.

E．It really inspired me to push myself and go farther every day. F．Traveling by bicycle was actually much cheaper than I thought. G．The whole event was extraordinary, full of dancing, laughter and fun.

It was a cold, rainy day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she 41 that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.

So here I was, 42 making the two-hour journey through thick fog. Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I 43 along the dangerous highway.

Turning down a narrow track, we 44 and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens (常青树) 45 over us. Gradually, the peace and silence of the place began to 46 my mind.

Then we turned a corner and stopped at the top of the mountain and I was entirely held in 47 . There across fields and valleys were rivers of fully-opened yellow flowers from the light one to the most brilliant. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and 48 the mountainside in gold.

49 occurred to my mind. Who created such beauty? How? When? As we approached the house that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that 50 : “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet and Very Little Brain.” The second was:“ 51 at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”

As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen that I could 52 speak. “She changed the world,” I finally said, “one small plant at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the 53 of an idea, but she kept at it.”

The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream and it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “ 55 yet, start today.” 41．A．asked 42．A．unwillingly 43．A．walked

七、用单词的适当形式完成短文

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词括号内单词的正确形式。 China has countless 56 (attract). The Great Wall is probably one that is most familiar to the Western tourists. The Great Wall is like a giant stone dragon, 57 (run) across the country from the ocean on the east 58 the desert on the west. It is the longest wall that 59 (build) ever, 1,500 miles in length. Along the wall 60 (be) watch towers, where soldiers were on the watch for threats. The wall was initially built 61 (prevent) invasion(入侵) of neighbouring states, and the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty. From the top of the Great Wall, people can enjoy an 62 (impress) view of continuous mountains, green trees and blooming wild flowers. If we were to build such a wall now, we would use modern machines. 63 , the ancient Chinese had to build the wall by hand. The reason the Great Wall attracts tourists from all over the world every year is that it represents the highest wisdom of ancient China. A day tour or a long hike along the Great Wall allows you 65 (travel) back in time to feel the thousands of years’ ups and downs of the ancient Kingdom of China.
