It isn’t necessary to know everything before heading out into the wilderness, but studying a quality first-aid guide book and familiarizing yourself with the necessary skills can be enough to save someone’s life.
Wilderness Medicine: Beyond First Aid by William W. Forgey
This book does a great job of breaking down how to examine, judge, and stabilize your patient or situation, manage the person’s physical symptoms(症状), and know what questions to ask. It covers a wider range of possible injuries and treatment options than some other wilderness first-aid books. This book costs $12.79 and is easy to read and understand.
Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills by The Mountaineers
In its 9th edition, the book, which costs $21.99, has become a gold standard for anyone planning to spend significant time in the backcountry. Written by climbers for climbers, this book has everything you need to know to stay safer, from basic first aid to staying safe in avalanche terrain(雪崩地形), and learning how to move forward without networking.
Mountaineering: Essential Skills for Hikers and Climbers by Alun Richardson
The book, which costs $13.59, not only contains information about wilderness first aid but also attempts to teach you safety and survival skills from hiking basics to winter adventures. This book stands out because of its detailed visual diagrams that illustrate the right and wrong ways to achieve different techniques.
Medicine for Mountaineering & Other Wilderness Activities by James Wilkerson
The book, which costs $32.95, is a great addition to your collection if you’ve already read some of the other wilderness first-aid books, and maybe even taken a course already but are still wanting to learn more. Many doctors and nurses like this book because they practice basic medical diagnosis(诊断) regularly.
21. What does William W. Forgey introduce in detail in his book
A. The ways of comforting injured climbers.
B. The steps to determine a medical problem.
C. The advice on keeping away from potential dangers.

It’s commonly thought that boys perform better than girls in math and science. Researchers have challenged that stereotype (刻板印象) for a long time, and a recent study, published in the journal Nature Communications in September, found a new way to attack it.
The study found that women are better than men at sustaining (维持) their performance on longer tests, including math and science.
Researchers Pau Balart, from the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, and Matthijs Oosterveen from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, analyzed (分析) data collected every three years from 2006 to 2015. The data came from 74 countries and regions, for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This is a standardized test of 15-year-old students’ performance in reading, math and science.
Their earlier results agreed with earlier findings that boys do better than girls in math and science. But when they compared the two groups’ scores at different stages of the test, girls tended to perform more stably (稳定地) in math and science, while boys started getting fewer correct answers.
Although boys seemed to show advantages from the start in math and science, the authors wrote, “This finding suggests that longer tests shrink it in math and science,” according to Nature. To prove this, the researchers analyzed another database with over 400 math tests, which lasted longer than PISA’s two hours. They found that, at least for math, the scoring gap between boys and girls decreased.
This isn’t the observation of better test endurance (忍耐力) in women. Oxford University used to add an extra 15 minutes to its math and computer science exams. They found female students’ scores improved.
Olga Shurchkov, an associate professor at Wellesley College in the US, told Newsweek: “This study is important because it provides cross-country evidence that suggests these gender (性别) gaps can be reduced.”
In her earlier study, she found that, given more time, women tended to be more careful and make fewer mistakes. They also were less likely to quit a task early. This also supports the finding of the present study.
24. What did the new study find
A. Boys are better than girls at math and science.
B. Girls usually do better than boys in shorter tests.
C. Girls prefer longer math and science tests than boys.
D. The length of a test affects girls and boys’ scores.
25. What does the underlined word “shrink” probably mean
A. Make something smaller.
B. Make something larger.
C. Keep something the same.
D. Make something appear.
26. As to the findings about female students on tests which of the following is true
A. They were more likely to give up on longer tests.
B. They were not as quick at thinking as male students.
C. They tended to perform better at the beginning of a test.
D. They tended to be more patient and careful on longer tests.
27. According to the text what is the importance of the study
A. It answered questions raised by earlier studies.
B. It could help to reduce gender gaps on tests.
C. It could attract girls to study math and science.
D. It is the first cross-country study of gender gaps on tests.
C
What impresses you most when you think back to your years at university For me, it is my first Greek philosophy class from Dr. Degenaar at Stellenbosch University.
Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own definition of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought—it was an almost literally mind-blowing experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.
Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year. I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy, but I remember little of that history and absolutely nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.
I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Like the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement of us all in a process of mutual (共同的) discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the important issues of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.
Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to pliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.
In contrast, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.
28. What did the author think of his first Greek philosophy class
A. Boring. B. Amazing.
C. Confusing. D. Challenging.
29. Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers
A. To prove Dr. Degenaar’s devotion to his career.
B. To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.
C. To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.
D. To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.
30 How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning
A. It combines theory with practice. B. It has no limit on learning places.
C. It encourages independent thinking. D. It focuses more on the result of learning.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce his respected teachers.
B To share his favorite university lesson.
C. To explain the factors of experiential learning.
D. To recommend an effective learning approach.
D
The number of adults worldwide with dementia(痴呆) could rise from about 57.4 million in 2019 to 152.8 million by 2050, driven by factors like midlife obesity. smoking and social isolation, according to a study published Thursday by the Lancet.
While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity. high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.
Risk factors for dementia also include stress, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, heavy alcohol consumption, head injury, exposure to air pollution and low education, researchers said.
The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.
Researchers estimated that dementia cases would increase by roughly 117% by 2050 due to growth of the elderly population alone, a factor forecast to have the severest impact in East Asia. To reduce the risk of dementia, policymakers must support low-cost programs promoting exercise, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, lead author Emma Nichols，a researcher at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told the Guardian.
Dementia is a syndrome(综合症),usually progressive, which harms memory and other functions of thought beyond what would usually be expected from aging. Though dementia can result from Alzheimer's disease or a stroke, it is not an unavoidable consequence of aging, the World Health Organization said. A 2020 study published by the Lancet suggested that low education might be a risk factor for dementia, because improved health education helps decrease the risk of head injury or of too much alcohol drinking. $818 billion is the annual global cost of treating dementia，the WHO estimated in 2017.Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
32. What can we learn from the Guardian report
A. The effects of education on dementia are ignored.
B. There will be 6.8 million cases of dementia in 2050.
C. Education alone can't change the worsening trend in dementia.
D. Obesity, high blood pressure and smoking are the main causes of dementia.
33. Who might have the best lifestyle according to the text
A. Qataris. B. Chinese. C. Americans. D. Japanese.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Dementia can't be avoided as a consequence of aging.
B. Aging has the similar effect on people as dementia does.
C. we can cure dementia if we spend $818 billion every year.
D. Dementia influences people equally regardless of their social status.
35. Where is the text probably from
A. A government report. B. An education paper.
C. A health magazine. D. A product brochure.

【原文】M: A few years ago my wife and I were living in New York. Our apartment was next to Central Park, and every morning I went for a run before I went to work. A lot of people had told me to be careful of thieves in the park, so I didn’t usually take anything with me. But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put $10 in my back pocket. While I was running through the park, a young man knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was a bit strange, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately ran after the young man and took him by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $10. I’m not usually a hot-headed person but I was really angry. This frightened him and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got there, I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me!” I started. She immediately interrupted, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”

It’s commonly thought that boys perform better than girls in math and science. Researchers have challenged that stereotype (刻板印象) for a long time, and a recent study, published in the journal Nature Communications in September, found a new way to attack it.
The study found that women are better than men at sustaining (维持) their performance on longer tests, including math and science.
Researchers Pau Balart, from the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, and Matthijs Oosterveen from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, analyzed (分析) data collected every three years from 2006 to 2015. The data came from 74 countries and regions, for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This is a standardized test of 15-year-old students’ performance in reading, math and science.
Their earlier results agreed with earlier findings that boys do better than girls in math and science. But when they compared the two groups’ scores at different stages of the test, girls tended to perform more stably (稳定地) in math and science, while boys started getting fewer correct answers.
Although boys seemed to show advantages from the start in math and science, the authors wrote, “This finding suggests that longer tests shrink it in math and science,” according to Nature. To prove this, the researchers analyzed another database with over 400 math tests, which lasted longer than PISA’s two hours. They found that, at least for math, the scoring gap between boys and girls decreased.
This isn’t the observation of better test endurance (忍耐力) in women. Oxford University used to add an extra 15 minutes to its math and computer science exams. They found female students’ scores improved.
Olga Shurchkov, an associate professor at Wellesley College in the US, told Newsweek: “This study is important because it provides cross-country evidence that suggests these gender (性别) gaps can be reduced.”
In her earlier study, she found that, given more time, women tended to be more careful and make fewer mistakes. They also were less likely to quit a task early. This also supports the finding of the present study.
24. What did the new study find
A. Boys are better than girls at math and science.
B. Girls usually do better than boys in shorter tests.
C. Girls prefer longer math and science tests than boys.
D. The length of a test affects girls and boys’ scores.
25. What does the underlined word “shrink” probably mean
A. Make something smaller.
B. Make something larger.
C. Keep something the same.
D. Make something appear.
26. As to the findings about female students on tests, which of the following is true
A. They were more likely to give up on longer tests.
B. They were not as quick at thinking as male students.
C. They tended to perform better at the beginning of a test.
D. They tended to be more patient and careful on longer tests.
27. According to the text, what is the importance of the study
A. It answered questions raised by earlier studies.
B. It could help to reduce gender gaps on tests.
C. It could attract girls to study math and science.
D. It is the first cross-country study of gender gaps on tests.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员通过研究，推翻了我们以往认为男孩在数学和科学方面比女孩做的好的观点。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The study found that women are better than men at sustaining (维持) their performance on longer tests, including math and science.(研究发现，在数学和科学等较长时间的测试中，女性比男性更能保持自己的表现。)”及第四段“Their earlier results agreed with earlier findings that boys do better than girls in math and science. But when they compared the two groups’ scores at different stages of the test, girls tended to perform more stably (稳定地) in math and science, while boys started getting fewer correct answers.(他们早期的研究结果与之前的发现一致，即男孩比女孩在数学和科学方面表现更好。但是，当他们比较两组学生在不同测试阶段的分数时，女孩在数学和科学方面的表现更稳定，而男孩的正确答案开始减少。)”可知，测试的时间长短会影响女孩和男孩的分数。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句的后两句“To prove this, the researchers analyzed another database with over 400 math tests, which lasted longer than PISA’s two hours. They found that, at least for math, the scoring gap between boys and girls decreased.(为了证明这一点，研究人员分析了另一个包含400多个数学测试的数据库，这些测试的持续时间比PISA的两个小时要长。他们发现，至少在数学方面，男孩和女孩之间的得分差距缩小了。)”可知，研究人员做了实验来证明较长的测试时间能够缩短男孩在数学和科学方面的优势，所以划线词此处的含义为“缩小”，和A选项“Make something smaller(使某物更小)”意思相近，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In her earlier study, she found that, given more time, women tended to be more careful and make fewer mistakes. They also were less likely to quit a task early.(在她早期的研究中，她发现，给予更多的时间，女性往往更小心，犯更少的错误。他们也不太可能提前放弃一项任务。)”可知，在更长时间的测试中，女学生往往更有耐心、更小心。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“This study is important because it provides cross-country evidence that suggests these gender (性别) gaps can be reduced.(这项研究很重要，因为它提供了跨国证据，表明这些性别差距是可以缩小的。)”可知，这个研究的重要性在于它有助于减少考试中的性别差距。故选B。

What impresses you most when you think back to your years at university For me, it is my first Greek philosophy class from Dr. Degenaar at Stellenbosch University.
Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own definition of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought—it was an almost literally mind-blowing experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.
Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year. I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy, but I remember little of that history and absolutely nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.
I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Like the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement of us all in a process of mutual (共同的) discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the important issues of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.
Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to pliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.
In contrast, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.
28. What did the author think of his first Greek philosophy class
A. Boring. B. Amazing.
C. Confusing. D. Challenging.
29. Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers
A. To prove Dr. Degenaar’s devotion to his career.
B. To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.
C. To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.
D. To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.
30. How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning
A It combines theory with practice. B. It has no limit on learning places.
C. It encourages independent thinking. D. It focuses more on the result of learning.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce his respected teachers.
B. To share his favorite university lesson.
C. To explain the factors of experiential learning.
D. To recommend an effective learning approach.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。作者通过比较大学时代的教授希腊哲学课的Degenaar博士的体验式学习法和其他讲师使用的“视学生为容器”的传统学习法，指出：体验式学习法鼓励学习者思考，是最好的学习方式。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own definition of the ‘soul’. Here was the ‘teacher’ asking us what we thought—it was an almost literally mind-blowing experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom. (Degenaar博士在本学期的第一个周五早上来到讲堂，让我们写下自己对‘灵魂’的定义。这是‘老师’问我们的想法——这几乎是一次令人兴奋的经历。他不是在告诉我们他是怎么想的，而是在问我们是怎么看的。接下来的讨论很有趣。那是我第一次在课堂上真正的学习。)”可知，作者认为他的第一堂希腊哲学课令人兴奋，很有趣，是作者第一次在课堂上真正的学习，这是一堂令作者惊奇的课。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“What impresses you most when you think back to your years at university For me, it is my first Greek philosophy class from Dr. Degenaar at Stellenbosch University. (当你回想起你的大学岁月时，什么给你印象最深？对我来说，这是我在斯泰伦博斯大学上的第一堂德格纳尔博士的希腊哲学课。)”，以及第三段“Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who ‘taught’ me during that year. I remember they ‘taught’ me the history of Greek philosophy, but I remember little of that history and absolutely nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest. (那次经历已经过去近50年了。那一年里教过我的其他讲师。我记得他们‘教’我希腊哲学史，但我对那段历史记得很少，对那些讲师更是一无所知。我对希腊哲学的大部分记忆都是我在Degenaar博士的课上学到的，出于我自己的兴趣。)”可知，通过比较Degenaar博士和其他讲师的课，作者只对Degenaar博士的课记忆深刻，强调了Degenaar博士对他的巨大影响。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In contrast, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself / herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. (相反，在体验式学习中，学习者被鼓励独立思考，而不是重复老师的思维模式。)”可知，体验式学习不同于传统学习，这个学习方式鼓励学习者独立思考，故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In contrast, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher.

The number of adults worldwide with dementia(痴呆) could rise from about 57.4 million in 2019 to 152.8 million by 2050, driven by factors like midlife obesity. smoking and social isolation, according to a study published Thursday by the Lancet.
While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity. high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.
Risk factors for dementia also include stress, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, heavy alcohol consumption, head injury, exposure to air pollution and low education, researchers said.
The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.
Researchers estimated that dementia cases would increase by roughly 117% by 2050 due to growth of the elderly population alone, a factor forecast to have the severest impact in East Asia. To reduce the risk of dementia, policymakers must support low-cost programs promoting exercise, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, lead author Emma Nichols，a researcher at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told the Guardian.
Dementia is a syndrome(综合症),usually progressive, which harms memory and other functions of thought beyond what would usually be expected from aging. Though dementia can result from Alzheimer's disease or a stroke, it is not an unavoidable consequence of aging, the World Health Organization said. A 2020 study published by the Lancet suggested that low education might be a risk factor for dementia, because improved health education helps decrease the risk of head injury or of too much alcohol drinking. $818 billion is the annual global cost of treating dementia，the WHO estimated in 2017.Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
32. What can we learn from the Guardian report
A. The effects of education on dementia are ignored.
B. There will be 6.8 million cases of dementia in 2050.
C. Education alone can't change the worsening trend in dementia.
D. Obesity high blood pressure and smoking are the main causes of dementia.
33. Who might have the best lifestyle according to the text
A. Qataris. B. Chinese. C. Americans. D. Japanese.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Dementia can't be avoided as a consequence of aging.
B. Aging has the similar effect on people as dementia does.
C. we can cure dementia if we spend $818 billion every year.
D. Dementia influences people equally regardless of their social status.
35. Where is the text probably from
A. A government report. B. An education paper.
C. A health magazine. D. A product brochure.
【答案】32 C 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了痴呆症的成因、现状和治疗。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity.high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.(据预测，教育水平的提高将在2050年减少620万痴呆症患者，但研究人员表示，这将被肥胖趋势抵消。据《卫报》报道，高血糖和吸烟，预计将导致另外680万例病例。)”可知，我们能从《卫报》的报道中了解到，仅靠教育无法改变老年痴呆症日益恶化的趋势。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.(据估计，每个国家的痴呆症发病率都在上升，从卡塔尔的1,926%到日本的27%，而美国的痴呆症病例预计将增加约99.67%。)”可知，从三个国家和病例增长率可以看出，日本的增长比例最小，为27%，因此日本人的生活方式最好。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.(被诊断为痴呆症的著名人物包括女演员丽塔·海华斯、演员詹姆斯·斯图尔特、前总统罗纳德·里根和前英国首相玛格丽特·撒切尔。)”可知，许多社会名流都患有痴呆症，因此该疾病并不和社会地位有直接关系，故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了痴呆疾病的原因、现状和治疗，显然和健康相关，因此很可能来自于健康类杂志。故选C项。
