But where do you start? Try out a few of these activities and youre sure to find a new outdoor h
2、obby to help you enjoy nature on your next holiday.Horseback RidingMany people may shy away from this, excusing lack of experience with horses, but most operators have horses for riders of any experience including none if they meet the physical requirements. Horses can take you greater distances in
3、a shorter time, covering areas that would be difficult or inaccessible otherwise.Fly-FishingFor an excuse to stand in a river enjoying the sounds, smells and scenery of some of the most beautiful places, try fly-fishing. Fishing is a perfect activity to enjoy with children, grandparents or whoever.
4、With enough practice, you may even catch a delicious big fish.Cycling + Mountain BikingOn the path or the road, spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in the scenery around you. Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement, while road cycling may offer a more peace
5、ful and calming experience. Travel with your bike or rent one at your travelling places, and your possibilities for exploration have already increased.Rock ClimbingFor a more physical and challenging experience outdoors, try your hand at rock climbing. You can get a feel for climbing in a gym, but i

8、el to have an enough rest.CGetting the travelers to have the biggest excitement.DOffering a more peaceful and comfortable experience. Granny had just bought a sandwich for her office and was stopped at a red light in the city center. She had the window rolled down to enjoy the soft wind when a man r
9、ushed up to the drivers side window to rob her. The robber broke into the open window with one hand in his pocket. He ordered Granny to get out of the car, or he would shoot her. A word like that would have frightened anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge.Completely unafraid she said th
10、at if he really had a gun, he would have pulled it out. She was right. The criminal had no gun actually and tried to pull her out of the car. Granny sounded the horn and started shouting out to draw others attention. With the door now open, she started kicking the man anywhere her foot could reach.
11、After a kick to his stomach, the man attempted to escape. But Granny wouldnt stand for that. It was now her turn to grab onto him. That poor fool didnt have a chance. She called for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and
12、 took the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came.When asked by a young reporter covering the story why she fought back and wasnt afraid, Grannys answer was surprisingly simple: She had had her new car for less than two days and a pack of good sandwiches for her office. And ther
13、e was no way for the robber to get either of those. Although we were angry with her because she could have gotten herself killed, we all learned an important lesson from her that day.4Why did Granny think the incident as a challenge?AShe was afraid of the robber,BShe has never experienced the robber

BHe had a poor memory.CHe was not strong enough. DHe was foolish and unlucky.6What was the main reason that the
15、robber attempted to escape?AGranny kicked his stomach violently.BGranny kicked him anywhere her foot could reach.CGrannys reaction was beyond his expectation.DGranny managed to grab onto him.7Grannys families thought her behavior to be _.Aillegal BannoyingCadmirable Dconfusing Most of Earths freshwa
16、ter sits underground. Worldwide, about 70 percent of the groundwater drawn to the surface goes for farming. But surface waters rivers and streams come from groundwater, too. Drawing too much groundwater over a short time can be harmful. Natural waterways can begin to empty. And that can hurt freshwa
17、ter ecosystems. Scientists consider this a tipping point when small actions can begin making unusually big differences.A new study has found that 15 to 21 percent of tapped water (自来水) areas have reached this sort of tipping point. Most of those tapped rivers and streams are in dry areas. Farmers in
18、 these areas use groundwater to water their crops. At present drawing rates, the study predicts that 42 to 79 percent of water areas around the world where groundwater is drawn up for use at the surface will reach tipping points by 2050.A healthy groundwater aquifer (含水层) protects ecosystems against
19、 seasonal ups and downs in the use of water. That provides stability for area plants and animals. But if too much groundwater is drawn up from below, surface waters will begin to flow into the aquifer, which can harm what are living in rivers and streams.De Graaf and the study team set up a computer
20、 model. It linked groundwater drawing and water flows within rivers. The model covered fifty years, from 1960 to 2010. Then the researchers used climate forecasts to help the model predict what might happen in future years. Throughout, they kept groundwater drawing rates sustainable. More than half
21、of drawn water areas are likely to cross this ecological tipping point before 2050, the model finds.“We need to be thinking about this now, not in 10 years,” De Graaf says. “Our study shows us where to target more sustainable efforts.”8What does the “tipping point” in paragraph 1 mean?AEnd point. BB
22、reaking point.CFreezing point. DBoiling point.9What is the writers purpose of writing the text?AWarn us that the surface water can pollute the groundwater.BWarn us of watering the crop by groundwater.CTell us the relation of groundwater and surface water.DWarn us that the overuse of groundwater can
23、destroy the ecosystem.10What is the part the groundwater plays in the environment?AKeeping the stability of natural water.BProtecting ecosystems from pollution.CClearing surface waters to be drinkable.DProviding stability for the local economy.11How did the researchers conduct the study?AThey predic

Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1,000 babies are born with extra fingers. If the extras
25、 are just small nubs (肿块), they may be surgically removed at birth. But some extra fingers can prove helpful, a new study shows.An extra finger can be incredibly handy. People born with six fingers per hand can tie their shoes, flexibly manage phones and play a complicated video game all with a sing
26、le hand. Whats more, their brains had no trouble controlling the more complex movements of their extra fingers, the new study finds. Its results also highlight how flexible the human brain can be. That information can guide people who design brain controlled robots.Researchers worked with a 52-year-
27、old woman and her 17-year-old son, both of whom were born with six fingers on each hand. Their extra fingers grew between the thumb and index finger. And they resemble thumbs in how they can move. The researchers studied the subjects hands with MRI (核磁共振成像), which can map body structures. They also
28、looked at activity in the parts of the brain that control the hands. Those scans showed a dedicated brain system that controls the extra fingers. The sixth fingers had their own muscles and tendons (肌腱). That means they dont just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers, as some doctors had
29、 thought. The brain had no trouble directing the extra fingers, the researchers showed. It suggests someones mind would be able to control robotic fingers or limbs. However, it might be harder for a person not born with extra fingers.Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led th
30、e mom and son to adapt in interesting ways. For instance, eating tools are too simple for them, so they constantly change the posture on the eating tools and use them in a different way. Still, not everyone with extra fingers may show improved flexibility. In some cases, extra fingers may be less we

DThey are sometimes beneficial.13What can we infer about extra fingers from the text?AExtra fingers muscles and tendons are stronger.BExtra fingers are mo
32、re flexible than normal ones.CThe extra nubs removed at birth are actually helpful.DBrain-controlled Robots can be designed to have extra fingers.14What can we know from the last paragraph?AThe mom and son live an interesting life.BSome people enjoy the life with extra fingers.CEating tools are quite simple for people with extra fingers.DSome people with extra fingers are not more flexible
