A
You've probably tried easy center-city Beijing rides if you enjoy riding. Now it's time to
level up your rides, so they will take you out into the countryside and attractive mountains.
Death Valley
Approximate distance:100km loop (环线)
It may sound terrifying, but Beijing's cyclists named this northern route “Death Valley” on
account of the huge tomb it passes, not the number of on-road accidents it has witnessed. In
reality, it's the closest, mostly car-free loop to the city center.
Tuesday/Thursday TTT
Approximate distance: 54km loop
This Team Time Trial is very popular among the Beijing cycling community as an early
morning ride before work. While it's not particularly scenic, there are few traffic lights, and the
roads are not too busy and have adequate bike lanes ( 车道) on each side, making it a relatively
trouble-free ride. If you'd like to ride with a group, seek out early morning Beijing rider groups
and join them on Tuesday or Thursday mornings at 5 am or 6 am depending on the season.
The Verse
Approximate distance: 120km loop
It passes a café with good (although expensive) food and even high-end accommodation, but
the best part is their super welcoming attitude towards cyclists. It's a bit of hike to get there but
well worth the effort, as you are rewarded with amazing views of the Great Wall upon arrival,
and a ride back that is mostly downhill.
Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park
Approximate distance: 70km loop
This park is the closest place for riders to enjoy the Grand Canal in Beijing. The Tongzhou
Grand Canal is a true wonder in China, and one of the greatest civil engineering projects in
history. The oldest parts of it date back hundreds of years BC. It will be a fun ride here.
21. Why was the northern route named“Death Valley”?
A. It has deadly loops for cars. B. It is located in a distant place.
C. There is a large tomb on the route. D. Numerous accidents had happened along the road.
22. Which of the following covers the shortest distance?
A. Death Valley B. Tuesday / Thursday TTT
C. The Verse D. Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park
23. What do the last two routes have in common?
A. They both offer a view of historical sites. B. They both have an adequate bike lanes.
C. They both pass a second-to-none café. D. They both offer a downhill ride.
B
I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that
when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I
was blown away. I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great
excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the
Shu- Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu
Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also
talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of
slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out.
Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits,
and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some
gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of
their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking
with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on
ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me
to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking
for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with
our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between
each other, and sharing each other's cultures.
24. How did the writer first respond to Paul's travel plan?
A. Puzzled. B. Scared. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
25. What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2?
A. He had a knowledge of China. B. He was a western journalist.
C. He came to China several times. D. He was Joseph Rock's acquaintance.
26. What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul?
A. They built bonds with people. B. They satisfied the locals' curiosity.
C. They set off in high spirits. D. They honored the ancestors.
27. What is the main purpose of the writer's writing the text?
A. To suggest a new way of travel. B. To share and reflect on a journey.
C. To advocate protection of biodiversity. D. To introduce and promote Chinese culture.
C
One key element of human language is semantics(语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike
our words, animal vocalizations (发 声 ) were involuntary, reflecting the emotional state of the
animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous
studies have shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.
Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one
call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and
another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary
their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking—and
each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.
Two recent studies suggested that the order of some birds' vocalizations may impact their
meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules
governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax
(句法), as illustrated by the classic "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" example.
Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about
what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on
describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior.
Determining if the underlying cognitive(认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar
is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely
reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another?
28. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations?
A. They conveyed no emotion. B. They were semantically related.
C. They varied greatly with species. D. They expressed no intended meaning.
29. How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By providing definition. D. By making comparison.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. What birds’ vocalizations mean. B. How rules govern human language.
C. What the two recent studies indicate. D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.
B. Focus of most animal communication research.
C. Underlying cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.
D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionally.
D
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of
making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is
now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It's
called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include
pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home
run calls. If you've been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video
Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a
horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay
confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the
traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it's not the way the game was invented, and that the
video replay is tainting the sport. But don't you want to see the proper application of the rules
throughout the games? I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If
technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those
same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most
recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams
and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles
Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the
field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime
victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just
missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But
for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
32. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
33. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
34. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?
A. They relied a lot on the video replay. B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out. D. They were terribly disqualified.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean?

选项。
Nutritional advice comes from every corner of our world. 36__________. Moreover, we are
encouraged to take a multivitamin to fill in any gaps in our diet.
The subject of popping a pill to get the recommended daily allowance ( 定量) of the various
vitamins essential to overall good health may be somewhat controversial. After all, different
nutrients may be absorbed at different rates by our bodies. Surely we shouldn't expect one small
pill to cover it all. 37_______________.

vitamin D. 38_________ . So it can be easy to get into the misconception ( 误解) that Mother
Nature is taking care of this aspect of our balanced nutrition.

Sun exposure near the equator (赤道) is far different from that an Eskimo might receive at the
North Pole. 39___________. Even in sun-rich areas of the world, people tend to spend much
more time indoors to escape the uncomfortable heat produced in sunnier climates.
40 ___________. You can get it from your diet, like fish, orange juice and beef liver. But
when you doubt whether your diet can meet your needs, a good multivitamin may be a good first
step in supplying additional vitamins and minerals.
A. It is often associated with exposure to sunlight.
B. Darker skin also absorbs less vitamin D than paler skin.
C. We get many tips on how to add nutrients to our everyday menu.
D. Often attention to our nutritional balance can improve the situation.
