Tips for Cycle Trips

Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．

Distance

On level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day．Distances 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 visit．For 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 activities．

Geography

The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill．A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．

Eat

Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's 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.

Sleep

While 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 world, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.

【1】Which distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?

A．50km. B．90km.

C．130km. D．250km.

【2】Form the passage, we can learn that_____________.

A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips

B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists

C．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy

D．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude

【3】We can probably read this passage in___________.

A．a geography book B．a research report

C．a science fiction D．a travel magazine

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文阐述了骑自行车旅行的诸多好处并提出一些有益的建议。

【1】B 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句For 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 activities．可知对很多人来说，80至100公里一天是比较合适的距离。故B项符合题意。

【2】C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．可知最美丽的骑行路线通常是丘陵地形的骑行路线。故C项说法正确。

Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. That is because its visual processing abilities and fingers work together faster than any human brain. A video of the undefeated robot has been watched by more than 3 million viewers on YouTube since going online at the end of June.

Tokyo University engineering professor Masatoshi Ishikawa has a good-natured response to frustrated human losers who accuse him of essentially creating a robot that cheats. “It is not cheating. Every one millisecond the image processor decides and recognizes the shape the human hand is going to make. And then the robot can make a winnable shape one millisecond later than a human being. Only one millisecond, but a human cannot see this difference because the human eye is very slow,” explained Ishikawa.

At the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory there has been amazing progress which shows the near perfect accuracy of robotics. Such as a robot that can catch a falling egg without breaking it, another one that can tie a knot, and a robot that may not be quite ready for the NBA, but is able to dribble (连击) a ball.

In sports such as baseball and cricket, the misses outnumber (比……多) successes for even the most skilled athletes. That is not so in this award-winning school laboratory. For instance, an intelligent robot is the result of five years of research and a lot of trial and error. And the cost of just one finger on the robot is equal to that of a mini car.

The technology obviously has uses beyond fun and games. Corporations are eager to take advantage of the lab’s technology for industrial and other practical uses. And there is talk of applying it to assist disabled people and improve human capabilities.

【1】What brings the robot so much attention on the YouTube?

A. It never loses in the game against humans.

B. Its eyes and fingers can work at the same time.

C. It can do anything whatever people tell it to do.

D. It plays online games much better than any human.

【2】Ishikawa’s explanation suggests that the robot .

A. proves to be dishonest

B. is lucky to win the game

C. works slower sometimes

D. responds faster than humans

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. The school laboratory is the world first class.

B. The research of robot can’t afford failures.

C. The most skilled athletes seldom fail in sports.

D. Intelligent robots are mostly used in ball games.

【4】Which section of a website is the text probably taken from?

A. Sports and games.

B. Human and society.

C. Science and technology.

D. Relaxation and entertainment.

News reports warn us that the smog is expected to stay with us for a couple of months. Air quality is 10 times worse than the World Health Organization’s recommended levels. You may think that there is nothing you can do about the air you breathe【1】

Wear an N95 mask.

Surgical masks won’t do, my friends. You need a proper N95 mask. 【2】The purpose is to filter out the little particles (颗粒) in the air that can be very unhealthy if breathed in. It’s not attractive, but your health is more important than looking attractive.

Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.

Hot temperature and high humidity are often connected with high smog levels. This makes it important to stay in the shade and drink lots of water to stay hydrated, especially before, during, and after exercise. 【3】

Stay indoors.

If possible, stay indoors. While you might want to visit your favourite open-air hawker stall (小贩摊档), now it’s not the time to do so. 【4】 Better still, for those at work, pack your own lunch. What’s more important, avoid exercise outdoors, especially from mid-morning to early evening, when smog levels are higher.

【5】.

Often neighbors or family members smoke in the hallways or just outside of apartment buildings, which makes the air much worse. And this air still comes into the apartments. So, keep the windows closed and use air purifiers to protect your home.

When your city’s smog gets bad, now you have the tips to keep on trucking. Best of luck.

A. Protect your home.

B. Keep the doors open.

C. If you want to go out, go to malls, and eat in enclosed spaces.

D. Consider exercising indoors in a smoke-free, air-conditioned environment.

E. However, there are easy ways to protect yourself against smog and air pollution.

F. Besides, water will not only quench your thirst, but help clear your breathing passages.

G. Its straps should be securely fastened behind your head, to hold the mask against your face.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.

Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as“the entertainment industry”or“show business.”

The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.

The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many.

【1】The United States is a typical country ________.

A. which encourages free trade at home and abroad

B. where people’s chief concern is how to make money

C. where all businesses are managed scientifically

D. which normally works according to the federal budget

【2】The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that ________.

A. most newspapers are run by big businesses

B. even public organizations concentrate on working for profits

C. Americans of all professions know how to do business

D. even arts and entertainment are regarded as business

【3】Henry Ford’s statement can be taken negatively because ________.

A. working people are discouraged to fight for their fights

B. there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists

C. there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor

D. public services are not run by the federal government

【4】A company’s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ________.

A. reduction in the number of employees

B. improvement of working conditions

C. fewer disputes between labor and management

D. a rise in workers’ wages

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”

They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy．Apart from this，studies are being carried out to harness(利用) usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies．

One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train，which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity．

According to Pradhan’s proposal，with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai，the largest city in India，at least 10，000 megawatts(兆瓦) of electricity could be harvested each day．

Building on this principle，designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device(装置) called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains．

T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks．It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers(水泥枕木)，which does not disturb the normal train operating at all．According to Yanko，around 150 T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1，000-meter railway track．

A train running at a speed of 200 kph can produce winds blowing at 15 miles a second．Based on this calculation，150 T-Boxes can produce 2．6 KWH of electricity per day．The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in last year’s Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei，Taiwan Province．

Though the figures look impressive，it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn’t taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance(维护) of the device．

We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues．If so，rail travel，one of the greenest forms of travel，will become greener and 【1】What can we learn about T-Box?

A．It will be fitted on the trains．

B．It is based on Pradhan’s idea．

C．It can turn electricity into light．

D．It was invented by an Indian scientist．

【2】How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km?

A．260 KWH． B．2．6 KWH．

C．150 KWH． D．1．5 KWH．

【3】It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that ______．

A．T-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind

B．the maintenance of T-Box will be costly

C．there is much to do about T-Box

D．T-Box will come into use soon

【4】According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train．

B．The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year．

C．Rail travel has become one of the energy-efficient technologies in the world．

D．The India harvests 10，000 megawatts of electricity each day on average．

【5】The passage is mainly written to _______．

A．encourage more people to travel by train

B．explain the advantages of electricity

C．tell readers how to save energy and money

D．introduce a new invention to readers
