4 Most walkable cities in Europe
Seville, Spain
Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest
walking route between the top four tourist attractions.Visitors can explore the impressive Plaza de
Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and
Seville Cathedral. After that, it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz
neighbourhood.
Venice, Italy
Venice is well-known as a heaven for pedestrians( 行人), so it’s no surprise it ranks as the
second best location for walkable city breaks. There are endless alleyways to explore, as well as
plenty of beautiful bridges over the crisscrossing canals that the city is famous for. Just under half
an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St
Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles.
Porto, Portugal
Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all
covered by a 30-minute walking route. Meander along the Dom Luís I Bridge over the Douro
River, head to the Clérigos Church Bell Tower and enjoy a riverfront walking place along the Cais
da Ribeira. The Stock Exchange Palace is also just a short walk away.
Florence, Italy
Florence, Italy, secures its place as the fourth most walkable city in Europe thanks to its
stunning attractions that can be seamlessly explored on foot. A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-
inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the famous Uffizi Gallery; the Piazza del Duomo where you will
be amazed at the magnificent Florence Cathedral; and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to

Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey
found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances
changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests
and wanting to experience something new.”
Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a
degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and
as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming
a possibility: "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that
I could do anything, so I should."
Fahey rode across Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had
a life-changing impact. Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself
to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on
the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is.”
Post-degree, Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project)
in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment.
“It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and
I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own
company.
In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world
by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand,
but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.
24. Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada?
A. She was bored with the job.
B. She was disappointed with life.
C. She wanted to add new dimensions to her life.
D. She found it hard to adjust to the circumstances.
25. Which can best describe Fahey's ride experience in Africa?
A. Demanding. B. Liberating. C. Eventful. D. Dangerous.
26. Why did Fahey launch Apidura?
A. To encourage bicycle traveling. B. To make her investment profitable.
C. To help cyclists carry traveling stuff. D. To increase the pleasure of riding bikes.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A tough path to fame. B. An adventure across Africa.
C. The benefits of green travelling. D. The story behind the birth of Apidura.
C
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition ( 认知)? What about our
body? Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our
brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC
theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely,
the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good
or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their
senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs —
they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their
mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold
and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the
brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and
mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body
are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your
reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects
were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm
evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other
way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being
“included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking.
A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone
who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this
kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you’re
having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re
physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
28. According to the author, what is the significance of EC?
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
29. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from?
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
30. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5?
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
D
Asteroids (小行星) are believed to have formed early in our solar system’s history — about
4.5 billion years ago----when a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula ( 太阳星云)
collapsed and formed our sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth objects to study the
material that came from the solar nebula, we can look for answers to some of humankind’s most
arresting questions, such as: How did the solar system form and where did the Earth’s water
and other organic materials such as carbon come from? In addition to unlocking clues about our
solar system, asteroids may provide clues about our Earth. By understanding more about
asteroids, we may learn more about past Earth impacts and possibly find ways to reduce the
threat of future impacts.
If we don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs someday, we need to protect ourselves
against the threat of being hit by a big asteroid. According to NASA, typically about once every
10,000 years, a rock y or iron asteroid the size of a football field could crash into our planet and
possibly cause tidal waves big enough to flood coastal areas.
But what we really have to fear is asteroids about 328 feet across or bigger. Such an impact
would cause a firestorm and fill the atmosphere with sun-blocking dust, which would wipe out
forests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn’t immediately kill.
That’s why it’s vital to develop a way to neutralize such a threat to Earth. NASA’s Double
Asteroid Redirection Test, launched in late November 2021, was the first mission to
demonstrate a technology called asteroid redirection by manmade impactor. A robotic spacecraft
will be crashed into an asteroid named Didymos, in an effort to show that it’s possible to
slightly change the path of an asteroid. That would enable NASA to redirect potential threats to
miss Earth.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Why asteroids are to be explored. B. How solar system came into being.
C. How long asteroids have existed. D. When asteroids will impact Earth.
33. Why does the author mention dinosaurs in paragraph 2?
A. To make the text more interesting. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To grab readers’ attention to asteroids. D. To show the disaster from an asteroid impact.
34. Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. strengthen B. avoid C. beautify D. realize
