Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you
If you're an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven't pitched(搭建) a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder(阻碍) your quest of communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a quiet shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach.
21. Who are the intended readers
A. Red-blooded males. B. White-collar staff.
C. Green-hand campers. D. Blue-blooded tourists.
22. What can you learn from the passage
A. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking.
B. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply.
C. Car camping is the most economical way to experience nature.
D. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment.
23. In which column will you find this passage
A. Business. B. Entertainment. C. Style. D. Travel.
B
For over a decade, Zubin Kanga, a pianist, composer and technologist, has changed the limits of the forms of musical performances. He has both organized and performed shows that have pushed barriers, with motion sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), live-generated 3D visuals and virtual reality among the technological advancements used to unlock new possibilities of music and performances.
Kanga’s approach to employing cutting-edge technology was first informed by the relative limitations of his chosen instrument. “The piano is a very accurate technology,” he says. “From the early 20th century till now it hasn’t really changed at all. It’s an amazing instrument, but it does have certain limitations in terms of the types of sound you can create.”
One of the early works is Steel on Bone, composed by Kanga himself. He performs the piece using MiMU multi-sensor gloves. “I can put up one finger, and that’ll produce a particular sound,” Kanga explains. “And then I can control that sound just by moving my wrist through the air — I can do that with lots of different gestures.”
“For Steel on Bone, I’m actually playing inside the piano with these steel knitting (编织) needles, and getting all these interesting effects on the strings. Then I’m using samples of them. Sometimes I’m using live delays and operating them. The sound can change depending on how my hands are moving. It allows me to make a very theatrical piece, and people can see this immediate connection between how I’m moving — these very big, almost conductor-like gestures through the air — and the way the sound is changing,” said Kanga.
This is just the start, and Kanga goes on to be keen on the use of motion sensors to make music, the possibilities that AI offers composers as a tool, and how virtual reality could transform performances and more.
24. What do technological advancements do for music and performances
A. Remove music barriers. B. Make performances professional.
C. Popularize musical performances. D. Bring new performance forms.
25. Why does Kanga talk about the piano in paragraph 2
A. To indicate its stability. B. To prove its rare accuracy.
C. To clarify why he uses technology. D. To show it has a long history.
26. How does Kanga perform Steel on Bone
A. By moving his hands in the air. B. By pressing the piano keys.
C. By beating the steel knitting needles. D. By making very small gestures.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Technology: When It Replaces Music
B. Zubin Kanga: When Music Meets Technology
C. Virtual Reality: Future of Performances
D. AI Music: From Composing to Performing
C
Lots of animals live and move in groups — elephants in herds, wolves in packs, birds in flocks, and fish in schools. Research has shown that where an individual is located in the group can affect the benefits it gets from hanging out in a crowd. However, Shaun Killen, an eco-physiologist at the University of Glasgow in the UK says, researchers haven't yet fully explored the role of physiological processes such as digestion in driving animals' collective behavior.
Killen and his colleagues recently studied schools of Eurasian minnows(鲦鱼) swimming in a tank against a current. Pieces of food were constantly moving past the fish, and the team recorded how many each minnow ate and the fishes' positions before and after eating. After calculating the metabolic(新陈代谢的) costs of digesting each fish's meal and comparing it to the fish's position, the team observed a trend: fish that had just gulped down a big meal moved to the back of the school, even when they'd swum at the front at most other times.
“It makes sense that feeding would influence individuals' positions in a group,’’ says Damien Farine, who studies collective behavior in birds at the University of Konstanz in Germany, “If a fish is hungry, it's competing with others in the school to eat, and being at the front gives it access to more food. But once the fish is full, it doesn't necessarily need to be at the front.” In addition, “being at the back of the group is less energetically costly for a range of reasons,” Farine notes. “An individual at the back doesn't have to contribute to navigating, and by relaxing the brain load it saves more energy.”
Killen says he's been thinking about the pros and cons of being at the back of the pack, such as protection from attackers and a boost from schoolmates slipstream. Changes in position, especially during the basic trade-off between feeding and movement, appear to influence group leadership information transfer, and group decision making. But the consequences of the trade-offs for group power and survival are not yet understood.
28. What does Killen and his colleagues' study focus on
A. How behavioral traits influence position change of individuals in fish schools.
B. How location influences nutrition states of individuals in fish schools.
C. How digestion influences distribution of individuals in fish schools.
D. How location influences benefits of individuals in fish schools.
29. What do the underlined words “gulped down” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Swallowed. B. Located. C. Witnessed. D. Missed.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A.A full fish competes to eat at the back.
B. A hungry fish has easier access to more food.
C. Being at the back saves the energy of a full fish.
D. Being at the front costs a hungry fish less energy.
31. What is Shaun Killen's attitude to his study
A. Cautious. B. Confident. C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
D
Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-skilled Workers
Forty years ago, Americans who didn’t go to college could move to cities and get good jobs in manufacturing or office work. But starting in about 1980, these jobs began to disappear, thanks in part to offshoring(离岸外包) and automation.
Workers without a college education were increasingly moved to low-skilled service jobs. Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well. High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered (聚集) in cities, while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas — workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay increase by moving into town. Thus, a major route to middle-class prosperity has been closed off.
Some of this can be explained by virtue of the two basic economic reasons for cities to exist in a modern economy — agglomeration and clustering. Agglomeration refers to the tendency of businesses of all types, but especially manufacturers, to locate near each other. This happens because employers want to be near to employees, who want to be near to the businesses they work for and buy goods from. The result is a city with lots of different industries.
Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to want to be near each other. Clustering effects are much stronger in knowledge-based industries like tech and finance, because ideas are their lifeblood, and workers who live near each other tend to share ideas with each other. Clustering also arises because of the need for employers to have access to a deep pool of skilled workers.
As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services, agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering. The smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers.
So what’s to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live decent, middle-class lives And how can the emerging divide between small towns and big cities be stopped One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically depressed regions by dispersing (分散) knowledge workers to less-populated areas.
But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the services class. Wage subsidies, portable pensions and various other incentives for higher wages can be deployed to make today’s low-skilled jobs more like the good office and factory jobs of the past. The alternative may be to watch non-college workers and small towns fall further behind.
32. Which of the following is NOT the reason why more low-skilled workers are shut away from middle-class prosperity
A. The education opportunities are unequally distributed.
B. Low-skilled service jobs are gradually limited to the suburbs.
C. Few jobs related to offshoring and automation are vacant.
D. Low-skilled workers can hardly get a higher pay in city centers.
33. _________ is a case of clustering.
A. A center where many colleges and universities gather
B. An area where there are a lot of computer companies
C. A land where agricultural production is highly automated
D. A town where industries are highly commercialized
34. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the smokestack cities of the last century to ________.
A. explain why agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering
B. reveal how U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it
C. indicate that we cannot emphasize the importance of manufactures too much
D. imply that old industrial cities have been transformed into knowledge-based ones
35. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. More houses will be built to make life in cities more affordable.
B. Research needs to be done in less-populated areas to revive its economy.
C. The government plays an irreplaceable role in helping those disadvantaged workers.
D. Non-college workers and small town have no alternative but to fall further behind.
第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
We are masters of distraction especially when we feel an uncomfortable emotion surfacing. And our society makes it easier than ever. ____36____. Those range from videos on TikTok to online shopping.
But does distraction really help deal with emotions Or does it merely worsen the problem ____37____. In some ways it can help, and oftentimes distraction avoids the root of the problem.
In the loud world in which we live nowadays, avoiding an emotion is easier than processing it. During the sequencing of an emotion, distraction occurs when we first notice it. The emotion in question causes physiological changes and often causes action. ____38____. It isn’t always a bad thing. There’s pretty good evidence that distraction can help down regulate the anxiety around a negative emotion.
____39____. There are longer mood states that last days or months, although most emotions only last a few minutes before they pass. That’s why, if you’re seeking long-term solutions, learning to process emotions is the only way. When you slow down and make space for your emotions, you can start to process them.
Jacobs Hendel, a psychotherapist, uses a process, which involves connecting your feet to the floor, deep belly breathing, slowing down and then identifying where different emotions are felt in the body. ____40____ -- once anxiety goes down, you can identify the other emotions that are coming up in your body. If the same emotions keep coming up and causing you stress, learning to sit with them and work through them. Facing your emotions may help you see that they aren’t as scary as you thought.
A. Grabbing your phone isn’t necessarily bad
B. According to experts, the answer is a mixed bag
C. And feeling them in the body is a good place to start
D. We feel like emotions are going to get bigger when we focus on them
E. For example, if you’re sad, you draw back; if you’re angry, you approach
F. Once a negative emotion arises, we may reach for various digital distractions
G. However, distraction isn’t a true fix either, because it only works in the short term

第二节 读后续写 (满分25分)
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。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch Who would I talk to Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then came the first class--Chinese painting.___________________________________________________

Para1：
（版本一搞糟）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students got down to work. However, it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the brush and made it go as I wished Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots! So embarrassed was I that I felt blood rushing to my face.
（版本二无从下手）Then came the first class-Chinese painting. To tell the truth, I made every bit of effort to catch up with the teacher’s words, but still couldn’t understand what he was instructing at all. Then all the students were required to finish a piece of work on their own. Seeing those strange drawing tools and the blank paper on the desk, I felt really stressed because I had no idea where to start, also afraid of others laughing at me. I sat rooted in my seat, my face flushing with embarrassment
Para2:
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, my deskmate, gave me a warm smile. He seemed to understand my awkward situation, so he turned to me and carefully explained what I should do with fluent English. With his patient guidance, I managed to finish my first Chinese painting! Simple as it was, the teacher praised my work in front of the class. I couldn’t conceal my pleasure, and joy danced all the way to my heart, for I knew this would be a wonderful beginning of a new school life, just starting with a warm and friendly smile.
