MapMyHike

This app tracks where you're hiking so you have a map of your route at the end of the hike. It can also track other fitness information like the distance traveled, speed, pace, and even calories burned. You can save the data for your hike, so you can always access the route you look as well as track improvements to your workout.

GaiaGPS

You don't always have cellphone service when hiking, but you always want to know where you are. The GaiaGPS app provides that information. Download maps of different parts of the world, and access the GaiaGPS app in the middle of even the most remote trails. The GPS function makes using the maps simple, and the app will also point to areas of interest.

Backpacking Checklist

One of the worst things is being way out on a trail only to discover you left behind something important. That's why checklists are the best. This checklist app helps you build a customized （定制的）list of things to take with you. Organize different lists based on trail lengths or requirements. Track all your essential items by weight and where you can find them.

WildObs

Using WildObs, you can record your observations of plants and animals and add them to the database.

When 36-year-ol（J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realized that was the least of his problems.

Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image （形象）of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding

community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can have representation as well.

To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.

After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and been offered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".

Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes （刻板印象）.“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.

For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say： ”Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”

24. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. The skateboard.              B. His hobby. C. His ability. D. The time.

25. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?

A. To realize his childhood dream. B. To help plus-size people lose weight.

C. To fight for the equal right for fat people. D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.

26. Which word can best describe Duran?

A. Generous. B. Inspiring. C. Adaptable. D. Talented.

27. Which is most likely Duran's belief?

A. Everyone has a gift for sports. B. No one is too fat to enjoy sports.

C. Fat people do deserve social concern. D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.

C

Flying someone one-way from London to New York produces nearly a ton of carbon dioxide or CO2. That's a lot of this climate-warming greenhouse gas. But there are ways to cut the climate impact of flying, one of which is to ask planes to surf high-altitude winds every chance they get.

It's not something they've been allowed to do. But that may change—and soon.

Most jets crossing the Atlantic Ocean follow one of several fixed paths that are widely spaced because radar （雷达，had not been able to track aircraft everywhere above the Atlantic. But a new network of satellites could soon change that.

Wells was part of a team in England that calculated the fastest possible routes for passenger planes. According to them , travel time a plane takes when flying across the Atlantic varies with the winds that a plane meets. For

instance, eastbound（向东的）flights can get a powerful push. Westbound routes miss that benefit. Faster flights burn less fuel. And less burning gives off fewer greenhouse gases.

The airline industry knows it has a high " carbon footprint." But it takes decades and many billions of dollars to design, test and fly new planes. Changing a flight path, in contrast, can cut costs and energy right away.

The new study doesn't show how well such wind surfing would work for all planes, in all skies and the world over. Bui it does suggest that making flight routes more flexible could cut both fuel use and C02 in some places.

However, if flight times vary depending on the wind, scheduling connecting flights and managing runways

and gates would become more complicated. The researchers would have to work out the best flight paths that take such scheduling issues into consideration. They may also want to see if flying at different altitudes gives a wider choice of flexible routes at the times most people want to fly.

National Air Traffic Services(NATS) which provides air-traffic control for the United Kingdom said it would temporarily disband its flight-paths system and work to allow airlines to choose flexible routes that would best limit their fuel use.

28. What happens to east bound flights when crossing the Atlantic?

A. They consume more fuel.     B. They use less time and energy.

C. They produce more greenhouse gases.  D. They are against a stronger wind.

29. What should be done to make adopting flexible flight routes possible?

A. Calculating the flight time    . B. Finding the best flight paths.

C. Adjusting the size of jets.     D. Adding more runways and gates.

30. Which word can best replace the underlined word "disband” in the last paragraph?

A. stop    B. copy    C. handle    D. restore

31. What can we infer from the text?

A. Planes are producing the most carbon dioxide.

B. New fuel is benefiting airline industries greatly.

C. Carbon footprint is a serious problem in the UK. 

D. Surfing the winds can make air travel greener. 

D

A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.

The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.

Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.

Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.

The final step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.

At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.

Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.

32. What are “Link” devices used to do?

A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals. B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.

C. To send out information about the brain's signals.       D. To control movements of the arms and hands.

33. What challenged scientists most in the study?

A. Recording and sending out body signals.                    B.  Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.

C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.                 D. Matching brain signals to body movements.

34. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?

A. To test artificial intelligence. B. To help those without arms or legs.

C. To study how animals play video games. D. To develop more complex video games.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed                 B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys

C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind             D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中 有两项为多余选项。

The Olympic spirit is about sportsmanship, personal sacrifice, and a strong will to reach your goals. 36    Instead, it's a source of motivation to keep going and try to improve every day.

The importance of the Olympic spirit goes far beyond the sports events. And it's not just for professional athletes, either. 37    Its goal is to encourage everyone, as people, and as citizens, to incorporate （使并入） these values into their lives.

It's not easy to describe the Olympic spirit in words. Yet everyone who meets it probably knows what it means. One central aspect is having the knowledge that the greatest reward doesn’t lie in getting to a particular goal or victory. 38    .

Of course, we're not trying to suggest that victory means nothing to an athlete or that goals aren't important. When we speak of personal or professional dreams or goals, we're aware that reaching the objective is always one's greatest wish.

Nevertheless, we shouldn't forget that victory is the result of a long process. It's only possible through the effort that leads up to it. 39 Everyone who manages to gain victory has to travel a long way to get there. And it must necessarily include some failures and disappointments, but must never end with the person giving up.

Let's take a track and field race as an example-just to keep going along the line of this sports thread. 40     But all of the competitors are going to give the best of themselves throughout the competition. And you can expect they'll continue to do so just to improve themselves even after the race.

A. Always try to achieve perfection.

B. The Olympic spirit speaks to all of us.

C. It's about the promotion of certain values.

D. There are no people who are born champions.

E. Instead, the process itself is the greatest reward.

F. Another person's success is no reason to give up or envy.

G. There can only be one winner at the end of every track or trial.
