allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travelcycle travel is a cheap form of transportationdistanceon level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a daydistances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visitfor many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activitiesgeographythe gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your rangea basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey timein hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhilla long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain passhowever, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terraineatfood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. as you will be working hard, its important to get enough energy in your food. on long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.sleepwhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. however, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. if you are exploring an unfamiliar word, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.21which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?a50km. b90km. c130km. d250km.22form the passage, we can learn that_.ahigh quality food is easy to get on long tripsbhotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsccycling over a mountain is challenging but worthydit takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude23we can probably read this passage in_.aa geography book ba research reportca science fiction da travel magazinebthe spread of western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. these findings come from a new report in the journal nature.david tillman, a professor of ecology at the university of minnesota, america, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. he noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. he found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the western diet.the western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. by eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. david tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in asia. china is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialized over a 20-year period. and that is happening all across the world, in nigeria and so on.and , a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. as the worlds population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. we are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now. mr. tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a problem offering a difficult choice. he says one possible solution is leaving the western diet behind.24. david tillman believes that _.a.diet, the environment and human health are closely connected b.the western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializesc.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease d.traditional diets are more balanced than the western diet25. according to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from_.a.transportation b.developing countries c.agriculture d.developed countries 26.we can infer from the passage that _.a.nigeria has the largest munber of diabetes casesb.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases c.the examined information comes from developing countries d.industrialization contributes to the spread of the western diet 27.the main purpose of the passage is to _.a.call on us to protect the environment b.warn us of the danger of the western dietc.remind us of the importance of health d.advise us to have a balanced diet ctime travelif you could travel in time, where would you go? perhaps you would watch an original performance of a shakespeares play in elizabethan england? what about hanging out with laozi in the spring and autumn period? or maybe youd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. the possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel the time machine, which was written by h.g. wells and published in 1895 for the first time. it was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. it is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. the term “time machine”, coined by wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.but could time travel actually be possible? some scientists say yes, in theory. they propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periodseinsteins theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstancesand british physicist stephen hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceshipgoing at nearly the speed of lightthough building such a spaceship would of course be no simple taskeven if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”it asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being bornif the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time？and would you really like to visit the future？in hgwells book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabshe then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）if thats whats in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all28the novel the time machine mentioned in paragraph 2 aims to show_apeoples interest in time travel bthe special feature of the bookcthe long history of time travel dthe contribution of hgwells29einsteins and hawkings theories_ahave similarities in many waysbpush the invention of the first spaceshipchave proved wrong by some time travelersdsuggest the possibility to invent the time machine30in paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that_athe traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherbthe traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfathercthe grandfathers death makes the travelers birth impossibledthe reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness31according to the passage, what is probably the authors attitude towards time travel？aunclear bskeptical csupportive dunconcerneddspeed-reading is a necessary skill in the internet agewe skim over articles, e-mails and wechat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain textsurrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by linebut a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulationa recent story from the wall street journal reported on a book club in wellington, new zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphonesthey sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hourunlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isnt exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment according to the journal, the wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the internet and smartphonesslow readers, such as the atlantics maura kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens themind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize another study published last year in science showed that reading novels helpspeople understand others mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationshipsyet technology has made us less attentive readers screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and informationleft-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. the internet may have made us stupider, says patrick kingsley from the guardian because of the internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each otherslow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions aim for 30 minutes a day, advises kelly from the atlantic “you can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” kelly said “reach for your e-reader, if you like kindles make books like war and peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure youll never lose your place”32the book club in wellington mentioned in paragraph 2 shows_athe new trend of slow reading bthe decline of electronic devicescthe importance of exchanging ideas dthe increasing number of club readers33according to patrick kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_aa non-stop reading pattern bthe straight, left-to-right screenca wide range of interesting news dthe lack of reflection34according to the passage, slow reading_acontributes to understanding among peoplebpromotes the current technology advancescprovides people with a quiet environmentdcures the memory loss of elderly people35whats the best title for the passage?abenefit of reading clubs breturn of slow readingcreading of the internet age dinfluence of speed reading第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 building trust in a relationship againtrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 that is a risk. but you cant be successful when theres a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal. whether weve been suffer from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 37 its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. 38 having confidence in yourself will help you make

room for positive growth and forgiveness.a. learn to really trust yourself.b. it is putting confidence in someone.c. stop regarding yourself as the victim.d. remember that you can expect the best in return.e. theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again.f. this knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.g. seeing the positive side of things
