The Four Most Famous Bike Trails in the World

For vacation seekers who love to ride their bikes, these are the most famous cycling trails in the world.

La Route Verte, Canada

Recently completed, this incredible route runs the length of Quebec Province from east to west and features more than 2,485 miles of bicycle trails that have been carefully marked. The ever-changing terrain (地形) makes this the best route to cycle from the St. Lawrence River to the mountains of the Laurentides.

The Karakoram Highway, China-Pakistan

Easily the highest international road in the world, the Karakoram is also one of the most breathtaking in terms of incredible views of mountainous countryside. The snow-capped Karakoram Mountains are your constant companion as you travel this amazing countryside. There are many villages along the way as well, and some of the glaciers reach the roadway.

Mont Ventoux and Luberon Provence, France

While the hills of Luberon are a challenge for cyclists, the rewards of visiting ancient Roman ruins are certainly well worth the trip. The mixture of sun, pine forests and blue fields of lavender that stretch on for miles is a splendid sight. The legendary Mont Ventoux, the sight of many great runs during the Tour de France, is the highlight of a trip to this region.

The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia

The Great Ocean Road is one of the engineering wonders of this country. The 243-kilometer road is windy most of the time, but offers beautiful views of the ocean and amazing geographic features such as the famous Twelve Apostles. If you don’t have time for the full run, the 60-kilometer journey between Torquay and Bells Beach can be ridden in a single day.

Lillian, 17, had just started working as a lifesaver at a beach in Australia on New Year’s Eve when beach-goers started to point and shout at the water. The workers quickly examined the situation and saw that a kangaroo had jumped out of the bushes (灌木丛) — straight into the sea.

The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! The poor thing bobbed(摆动)around in the waves and went underwater several times before Lillian decided to take action.

As with any other animal rescue, it’s important to approach the situation with prudence. Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run. “It just didn’t want to come on to the beach because it was kind of scared,” she said. “I was trying to figure out how to get it on the board. But considering that it’s a wild animal, even though I was helping, I wouldn’t want to be hurt by it or make it more stressed out.”

As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones,Lillian paddled (用浆划船) behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach. As soon as Lillian’s feet touched the sand, the beach erupted in cheers for her!“It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting there up in the bushes staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes,” Lillian said. “I didn’t think that was going to ever be my first rescue, I may have more rescues in the future, but none would be as memorable as this one.”

4. What happened to the kangaroo?

A. It jumped off the rocks by mistake,

B. It jumped into the sea by accident,

C. It was forced to leave the bushes.

D. It was washed away into the sea.

5. What does the underlined word “prudence” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Inspiration. B. Hope. C. Care. D. Shock.

6. How did the kangaroo react to its rescuer?

A. It couldn’t wait to leave her.

B It was worried about her safety.

C. It was confused about her action.

D. It seemed grateful for her help.

7. Which of the followings can best describe Lillian?

A. Far-sighted and independent. B. Talented and positive.

C. Brave and cautious. D. Determined and ambitious.

C

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. These include eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.

The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体), which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain.

Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia (诵读障碍) have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.

Casutt’s goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. “In a digital world dominated (支配) by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.

8. How does Bionic Reading work?

A. Users can read faster with less thinking.

B. Users keep their brains much less active.

C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.

D. Users guess the meanings of some key words.

9. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia?

A. Selecting suitable reading contents.

B. Keeping up with reading contents.

C. Limiting reading time.

D. Reducing stress from reading.

10. What can we learn about Bionic Reading?

A. It has not been put into use so far.

B. It has already been fully developed.

C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking.

D. It helps users skip the new words in reading.

11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading

B. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People’s Brain

C. Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile

D. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be Improved

D

A new study discovers that sharks do sleep, and they often sleep with their eyes open. Since some sharks have to swim constantly to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills (鱼鳃), people have long thought that they don’t sleep at all.

Researchers from Australia have now recorded a species of shark sleeping for the first time, finishing the long-standing debate about whether sharks sleep. To see if sharks were in fact asleep, the team analyzed the metabolism (新陈代谢) and pose of seven draughtsboard sharks (猫鲨) over 24 hours. When the sharks were resting for five minutes or longer, their oxygen consumption dropped, which suggested the animals were sleeping. And the researchers also noticed that the sharks changed their posture by lying flat and closer to the ground.

The sharks sometimes slept with their eyes shut as well, though, mostly during the day. At night, they tended to keep their eyes open more often, leading researchers to suspect that the sharks’ eye closure might have more to do with light than the sleep state itself. “Not only are sleeping sharks less responsive to their surroundings, but they also have lower metabolic rate,” said Michael Kelly, an ecophysiologist at La Trobe University.

“Sharks are an important group as they are the oldest living jawed vertebrates (颌类脊椎动物) — a character they share with us,” Michael Kelly said. “Sharks have been swimming in the sea for over 400 million years and have evolved very little in that time. Understanding how and why these animals sleep will provide important understanding into the function of sleep and how the animal has evolved over time.”

The team points out that more research will be needed to see if other species sleep like the draughtsboard sharks. Next they plan to continue to analyze the sharks’ brain activity while they sleep, to learn more about their waking and resting states.

12. What is the previous misunderstanding about sharks?

A. They sleep with their eyes closed.

B. They breathe in flowing water.

C. They swim frequently at night.

D. They always stay awake.

13. What do researchers find about draughtsboard sharks?

A. They need to rest every five minutes in the sea.

B. They consume much less oxygen during the day.

C. They have the same pose when awake and when asleep.

D. They might close their eyes not to sleep but to avoid light.

14. What does paragraph 4 talk about?

A. The process of the research.

B. The negation of the research.

C. The significance of the research.

D. The introduction of the researchers.

15. What do the researchers think of their research in the last paragraph?

A. Insufficient. B. Unrealistic. C. Meaningless. D. Inefficient.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Grandma Goodie, warm-hearted and caring, goes to see her granddaughters every Sunday afternoon. Every visit starts with the same steps. First, she rings the doorbell. Then Vera and Gina run to open the door excitedly. Every time, Grandma Goodie brings wonderful gifts. Sometimes they are toys. Sometimes they are candies. After receiving the gifts, the whole room is full of the laughter and screams of the two.

One Sunday, Grandma rang the doorbell. Vera and Gina, who had been waiting since lunch, hurried down the stairs to open the door. “Darling, look what I have brought to you,” Grandma said. She pulled out a pack of cards and they couldn’t wait to rush into their room and began to play the cards cheerfully. They enjoyed themselves so much that the whole afternoon had passed before they realized it.

At the end of the day, Grandma kissed everyone and said her goodbyes. As she drove away, Vera and Gina heard their parents say that they would hold a birthday party for Grandma next Sunday. “Grandma has a birthday?” they thought, looking at each other in surprise. Both felt a little confused, “Grown-ups have birthdays?”

“We have to get her a present,” Gina decided. “But what?” asked Vera, “Grandma Goodie undoubtedly has everything!’’

They spent all week thinking, but nothing came into their mind.

On Sunday afternoon, the doorbell rang. Just as what usually happened, Grandma Goodie brought them beloved amazing gifts, which were some candies with good-looking covers. They extended their sincere gratitude to Grandma Goodie and quickly went back to their room to think about the gift for Grandma.

All through the dinner, the kids were silent. “What’s wrong with you? What makes you two so down and quiet?” asked Grandma.

“Grandma, we really wanted to give you something special for your birthday,” Gina said. “But nothing we thought of would do,” added Vera. Grandma Goodie smiled and held the kids in her arms. Then she said, “Oh, kids, don’t you know you two are the best gifts I could ever ask for?”

注意：

1.续写词数应150左右;
