Activities to Get You Outdoors While Traveling
Many of us would enjoy getting outside and escaping our day to day with some fresh air while
traveling. But where do you start? Try out a few of these activities and you're sure to find a new
outdoor hobby to help you enjoy nature on your next holiday.
Horseback Riding
Many people may shy away from this, excusing lack of experience with horses, but most
operators have horses for riders of any experience including none if they meet the physical
requirements. Horses can take you greater distances in a shorter time, covering areas that would
be difficult or inaccessible otherwise.

beautiful places , try fly ﹣ fishing . Fishing is a perfect activity to enjoy with children ,
grandparents or whoever. With enough practice, you may even catch a delicious big fish.
Cycling + Mountain Biking
On the path or the road, spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in
the scenery around you. Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement, while road cycling
may offer a more peaceful and calming experience. Travel with your bike or rent one at your
travelling places, and your possibilities for exploration have already increased.
Rock Climbing

2.(8 分)Granny had just bought a sandwich for her office and was stopped at a red light in the city
center. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the soft wind when a man rushed up to the
driver's side window to rob her. The robber broke into the open window with one hand in his
pocket. He ordered Granny to get out of the car, or he would shoot her. A word like that would
have frightened anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge.
Completely unafraid she said that if he really had a gun, he would have pulled it out. She was
right. The criminal had no gun actually and tried to pull her out of the car. Granny sounded the
horn and started shouting out to draw others' attention. With the door now open, she started
kicking the man anywhere her foot could reach. After a kick to his stomach, the man attempted to
escape. But Granny wouldn't stand for that. It was now her turn to grab onto him. That poor fool
didn't have a chance. She called for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny
leading the charge , a group of strangers came together and took the man to the sidewalk ,
holding him there until the police came.
When asked by a young reporter covering the story why she fought back and wasn't afraid,
Granny's answer was surprisingly simple: She had had her new car for less than two days and a
pack of good sandwiches for her office. And there was no way for the robber to get either of those
. Although we were angry with her because she could have gotten herself killed, we all learned 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/

3.(8 分)Most of Earth's freshwater sits underground. Worldwide, about 70 percent of the
groundwater drawn to the surface goes for farming. But surface waters ﹣ rivers and streams ﹣
come from groundwater, too. Drawing too much groundwater over a short time can be harmful.
Natural waterways can begin to empty. And that can hurt freshwater ecosystems. Scientists
consider this a tipping point when small actions can begin making unusually big differences.
A new study has found that 15 to 21 percent of tapped water (自来水) areas have reached this
sort of tipping point. Most of those tapped rivers and streams are in dry areas. Farmers in these
areas use groundwater to water their crops. At present drawing rates, the study predicts that 42 to 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
79 percent of water areas around the world where groundwater is drawn up for use at the surface
will reach tipping points by 2050.
A healthy groundwater aquifer (含水层) protects ecosystems against seasonal ups and downs
in the use of water . That provides stability for area plants and animals . But if too much
groundwater is drawn up from below, surface waters will begin to flow into the aquifer, which
can harm what are living in rivers and streams.
De Graaf and the study team set up a computer model. It linked groundwater drawing and water
flows within rivers. The model covered fifty years, from 1960 to 2010. Then the researchers
used climate forecasts to help the model predict what might happen in future years. Throughout,
they kept groundwater drawing rates sustainable. More than half of drawn water areas are likely to
cross this ecological tipping point before 2050, the model finds.
"We need to be thinking about this now, not in 10 years," De Graaf says. "Our study shows
us where to target more sustainable efforts."
(1)What does the "tipping point" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. End point.
B. Breaking point.
C. Freezing point.
D. Boiling point.
(2)What is the writer's purpose of writing the text?
A. Warn us that the surface water can pollute the groundwater.
B. Warn us of watering the crop by groundwater.
C. Tell us the relation of groundwater and surface water.
D. Warn us that the overuse of groundwater can destroy the ecosystem.
(3)What is the part the groundwater plays in the environment?
A. Keeping the stability of natural water.
B. Protecting ecosystems from pollution.
C. Clearing surface waters to be drinkable.
D. Providing stability for the local economy.
(4)How did the researchers conduct the study? 天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
A. They predicted the result based on the old data.
B. They happened to work out the result.
C. They measured all the groundwater and surface water.
D. They did questionnaire surveys on the water information.
4.(8 分)Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1,000 babies are born with extra
fingers. If the extras are just small nubs (肿块), they may be surgically removed at birth. But
some extra fingers can prove helpful, a new study shows.
An extra finger can be incredibly handy. People born with six fingers per hand can tie their
shoes, flexibly manage phones and play a complicated video game ﹣ all with a single hand.
What's more, their brains had no trouble controlling the more complex movements of their extra
fingers, the new study finds. Its results also highlight how flexible the human brain can be. That
information can guide people who design brain controlled robots.
Researchers worked with a 52﹣year﹣old woman and her 17﹣year﹣old son, both of whom
were born with six fingers on each hand. Their extra fingers grew between the thumb and index
finger. And they resemble thumbs in how they can move. The researchers studied the subjects'
hands with MRI (核磁共振成像), which can map body structures. They also looked at activity
in the parts of the brain that control the hands.Those scans showed a dedicated brain system that
controls the extra fingers. The sixth fingers had their own muscles and tendons (肌腱). That
means they don't just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers, as some doctors had
thought. The brain had no trouble directing the extra fingers, the researchers showed. It suggests
someone's mind would be able to control robotic fingers or limbs. However, it might be harder
for a person not born with extra fingers.
Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led the mom and son to adapt in
interesting ways. For instance, eating tools are too simple for them, so they constantly change
the posture on the eating tools and use them in a different way. Still, not everyone with extra
fingers may show improved flexibility. In some cases, extra fingers may be less well developed
.
(1)What does the new research find about extra fingers?
A. They are always useless.天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
B. They are very uncommon.
C. They are usually necessary.
D. They are sometimes beneficial.
(2)What can we infer about extra fingers from the text?
A. Extra fingers' muscles and tendons are stronger.
B. Extra fingers are more flexible than normal ones.
C. The extra nubs removed at birth are actually helpful.
D. Brain﹣controlled Robots can be designed to have extra fingers.
(3)What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The mom and son live an interesting life.
B. Some people enjoy the life with extra fingers.
C. Eating tools are quite simple for people with extra fingers.
D. Some people with extra fingers are not more flexible than ordinary people.
(4)What can be the best title for the text?
A. Sixth Finger Can Improve Ability
B. Sixth Finger Can Prove Extra Handy
C. Sixth Finger Should Be Treated Properly
D. Sixth Finger Should Develop in Many Ways

How Not to Annoy Wild Animals at National Parks
National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their
natural habitat. However, as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases, humans
and animals too often find themselves in close distance.(1)
Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild. Wild animals can be unpredictable
and in national parks and many state parks, they are not contained. (2) Never think that
it is safe to approach them.
(3) Stop by the visitor's center and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in
the park and what to expect. The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife. So天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
, if you see the warning signs, take care.
Make sure you give animals space. The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife
, and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears. (4) If you're out hiking
and you encounter wildlife, stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level. If your thumb
covers the entire animal, you're a safe distance away from that animal.
Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won't
hurt. (5) Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting a bite. Plus people food is
not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren't the threat. This becomes a
vicious cycle (恶性循环) that results in people getting too close and getting hurt. Wildlife have
all they need to eat in their environment.
A. But don't do it.
B. You can follow the "rule of thumb".
C. In national parks, there are warning signs everywhere.
D. At certain times of the year, wildlife can be more lovely.
