Here are four destinations that have already signed up to a more sustainable way of life. Costa Rica So, you want to escape? Imagine a country that’s one -quarter national park, a place where you could hike in a rainforest in the morning and surf tropical waves in the afternoon. Imagine an adventure Eden where all kinds of unique animals run before your eyes. That country is Costa Rica Conservation has been developed here since the 1970s, with measures to protect areas, close z00S and reverse deforestation. About 80% of the Osa Peninsula is protected; much of it is in Corcovado National Park, where visitors can follow guided trips with local groups. Activity options range from rainforest hikes to whale-watching, diving at Isla del Cano and surfing at Cabo Matapalo. Finland It’s a nation where 80 percent of the territory is covered by forests Meanwhile, Finland’s air and water is claimed to be the clearest. The Finish Tourist Board has launched the Sustainable Finland programme to help visitors plan the most eco-friendly travels and engage with nature and local culture, knowing every step of their trip has been looked at from an economical, ecological, social and cultural perspective. Bhutan Until 1974, the Kingdom of Bhutan remained closed to tourism. Then one day, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck declared Bhutan open to visitors. Today, only those who have booked guided tours through approved travel agencies can enter Bhutan. Permits are charged at a peak- season nightly rate of ＄250 per person, which includes a 37 percent tax that goes towards improving infrastructure (基础设施) and strengthening the healthcare and the education systems. This strict policy means tourism is controlled, with local life largely untouched by its impact. Botswana As one of the most convenient locations to spot the “Big Five”, Botswana’s infrastructure has long been under pressure to meet the demands of the world’s safari (游猎) market. Thankfully, the team at Great Plains Safari has been taking measures to minimize impact and invest in community-based opportunities to help local villages develop. One such measure is a kids’conservation camp, where children are invited to week-long courses to learn about their surroundings, the value of conservation and the role of environmental tourism. 1. What can tourists do in Costa Rica? A. Camp and swim. B. Hike and hunt. C. Watch and catch whales. D. Dive and surf. 2. What challenge is Botswana faced with? A. It is no longer a location to spot the “Big Five”. B. Children don’t care about environmental tourism. C. The government invests little in local development D. Its infrastructure has been impacted by the safari market. 3. Of the four ecotourism destinations, which has a strict tourism policy? A. Costa Rica B. Finland C. Bhutan D. Botswana B Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making. All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.” After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies. Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous. “Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says. Does she still feel like an outsider? “I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.” 4. How did Dickins feel about her debut? A. Nervous. B. Anxious. C. Encouraged. D. Relieved. 5. Why was Dickins lacking in a sense of belonging? A. Her early stay at the care home. B. Her inexperienced writing skills. C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her poor relationship with her husband. 6. How does writing benefit Dickins? A. It helps her land a good job. B. It develops her sense of humor. C. It makes her overcome her learning disabilities. D. It enables her to get on well with her life. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Mary Dickins’ First Performance B. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60 C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D. Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets C Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time. Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a “small-scale, man-made cloud”. Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”. Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity- enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air. The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity before, but those methods didn’t work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special “nanowires” made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores (纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source. Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space. 8. The Air-gen is invented ________. A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria. C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture. 9. How does the Air-gen device generate electricity? A. By using large charges in lightening. B. By changing sunlight into electricity. C. By using the electric charge in water droplets. D. By turning water into a usable energy source. 10. What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen? A. It might not produce enough electricity. B. It has a negative impact on the environment. C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture. D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air. C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source. D Flash droughts develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region’s agriculture. They’re also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study published in the journal Communications Earth& Environment, we found that the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in just a few weeks, is on the rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades. In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of change will also rise. A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana 2017 caused $2.6 billion in agricultural damage in America alone. All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What’s interesting about flash droughts is how fast they strengthen themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses moisture rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaporative (蒸发的) demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes. Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts. In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon. Slowing emissions can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low emission conditions. 12. What is the feature of flash droughts? A. Seldom happen and greatly beneficial. B. Frequently happen and low risky. C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive. D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful. 13. Which of the following statements may the author agree with? A. Crops and vegetation die more quickly during long term droughts. B. Slowing emissions can completely solve the problem of flash droughts. C. In Europe cropland will suffer from more flash droughts by the end of this century. D. Flash droughts won’t have any effect on food production energy, and water supplies. 14. What may be a factor that strengthens flash droughts? A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate. C. The cold and wet weather. D. Long-term droughts. 15. How can humans help reduce flash droughts? A. By studying climate models. B. By speeding up global warming. C. By changing cropland into forests. D. By decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parkour Around a City There are many ways to travel within a city.___16___ But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners laid down for us. ___17___ To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs they jump, climb and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything they find in their path.___18___ The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour (跑酷) today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance.___19___ But parkour enthusiasts themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea.

A The city is their playground. B. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. C. Parkour is more interesting than you ever know. D. Parkour began in France, back in 1988, in the suburbs of Paris. E. However, Parkour enthusiasts sce the city in a completely different way. F. For them, it is a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport, G. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Gameil William-Allen is a teacher in Glenmuir High.

She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making. All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.” After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies. Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous. “Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says. Does she still feel like an outsider? “I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.” 4. How did Dickins feel about her debut? A. Nervous. B. Anxious. C. Encouraged. D. Relieved. 5. Why was Dickins lacking in a sense of belonging? A. Her early stay at the care home. B. Her inexperienced writing skills. C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her poor relationship with her husband. 6. How does writing benefit Dickins? A. It helps her land a good job. B. It develops her sense of humor. C. It makes her overcome her learning disabilities. D. It enables her to get on well with her life. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Mary Dickins’ First Performance B. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60 C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D. Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.”(但当她62岁时在伦敦南部传奇的“枪炮之夜”上首次以表演者的身份亮相时，她说：“这太疯狂了，我以前从未见过。”)”以及““It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.(“我觉得这是一种变革。我想，‘我得多点这样的表演，’” Dickins说。成为一名表演诗人让她在自己创造的舞台上占据了一席之地)”可知，Dickins首次作为表演者登台时观众的反应很疯狂，这种体验是她从未经历过的，但她很喜欢，成为表演诗人让Dickins在舞台上有了自己的一席之地。由此推知，当Dickins第一次上台表演诗歌后，观众的反应使她大受鼓舞。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”(在大学里，她学习教育，遇到了相恋40年的丈夫，但在三年的研讨会上，她一句话也没说。其中一些是她在儿童之家工作多年的结果。她说：“这让我明白了被排斥的感觉。我从来没有融入过任何地方。”)”可知，Dickins在儿童之家生活多年的经历让她觉得自己被排斥在外，在任何地方都格格不入，很没有归属感。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.(她说：“把事情用语言表达出来，塑造你的情绪，是接受生活中发生的事情的重要组成部分。”)”可推知，写作使她更好地接纳生活中发生的一切，让她与自己的生活讲和。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.”(但当她62岁时在伦敦南部传奇的“枪炮之夜”上首次以表演者的身份亮相时，她说：“这太疯狂了，我以前从未见过。”)”是对Dickins在62岁时首次登台演出的描写，以及最后一段“Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”(最后你必须等到62岁才有自信！”她说。“但我知道自己是谁，我为此感到骄傲。我现在不会成为其他人了——我花了很长时间才这么说。”)”她提到自己通过写作和表演克服害羞、找到自信可知，本文主要讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。由此可知，A项“Mary Dickins在60岁后的新开始”为最佳标题。故选B。 C Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time. Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a “small-scale, man-made cloud”. Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”. Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity- enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air. The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity before, but those methods didn’t work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special “nanowires” made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores (纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source. Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space. 8. The Air-gen is invented ________. A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria. C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture. 9 How does the Air-gen device generate electricity? A. By using large charges in lightening. B. By changing sunlight into electricity. C. By using the electric charge in water droplets. D. By turning water into a usable energy source. 10. What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen? A. It might not produce enough electricity. B. It has a negative impact on the environment. C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture. D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air. C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了科学家发明了一种新的方法——利用空气中的湿气发电。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air.(他们的方法是利用超微小的孔从空气中的湿气中发电)”可知，Air-gen主要是利用空气中的湿气发电。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷).(空气中的水分有助于发电。空气中的水滴带有电荷)”可知，Air-gen用空气中的水滴所携带的电荷发电，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy.(但一些科学家认为，Air-gen可能很难产生足够电力来真正发挥作用，尤其是与太阳能等能源相比)”可知，科学家一个潜在的担忧是Air-gen很难生产足够多的电。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.(马萨诸塞大学阿姆赫斯特分校的科学家们发明了一种新的发电方法。他们的方法是利用超微小的孔从空气中的水分中发电。科学家们希望这种方法有一天能带来随时随地廉价、清洁的电力)”结合文章主要介绍科学家发明了一种新的方法，利用空气中的湿气发电。B选项“从空气中产生电力”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Flash droughts develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region’s agriculture. They’re also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study published in the journal Communications Earth& Environment, we found that the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in just a few weeks, is on the rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades. In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of change will also rise. A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana 2017 caused $2.6 billion in agricultural damage in America alone. All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What’s interesting about flash droughts is how fast they strengthen themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses moisture rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaporative (蒸发的) demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes. Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts. In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon. Slowing emissions can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low emission conditions. 12. What is the feature of flash droughts? A. Seldom happen and greatly beneficial. B. Frequently happen and low risky. C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive. D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful. 13. Which of the following statements may the author agree with? A. Crops and vegetation die more quickly during long term droughts. B. Slowing emissions can completely solve the problem of flash droughts. C. In Europe cropland will suffer from more flash droughts by the end of this century. D. Flash droughts won’t have any effect on food production, energy, and water supplies. 14. What may be a factor that strengthens flash droughts? A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate. C. The cold and wet weather. D. Long-term droughts. 15. How can humans help reduce flash droughts? A. By studying climate models. B. By speeding up global warming. C. By changing cropland into forests. D. By decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了骤发性干旱的特点、对农业的影响以及解决措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Flash droughts develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region’s agriculture.(突发性干旱发展迅速，当它们在错误的时间发生时，可能会破坏一个地区的农业)”可知，突发性干旱的特征是突然发生且极具破坏性。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century.(在北美和欧洲，几年前每年发生突发性干旱的几率为32%的农田，到本世纪最后几十年发生突发性干旱的几率可能会更大)”可推知，作者认为到本世纪末，欧洲的农田将遭受更多的突发性干旱。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What’s interesting about flash droughts is how fast they strengthen themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses moisture rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaporative (蒸发的) demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes.(突发性干旱的有趣之处在于，在气候变暖的帮助下，它们会以多么快的速度自我加强。当天气炎热干燥时，土壤迅速失去水分。干燥的空气会从土地上吸收水分，而不断上升的气温会增加这种蒸发需求。突发性干旱期间缺少雨水可以进一步促进反馈过程)”可知，气候变暖加剧了突发性干旱。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Slowing emissions can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low emission conditions.(减缓排放可以显著降低风险，但我们发现，在低排放条件下，全球突发性干旱仍将增加约6%)”可知，减少温室气体排放可以帮助减少突发性干旱。故选D。 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parkour Around a City There are many ways to travel within a city.___16___ But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners laid down for us. ___17___ To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs they jump, climb and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything they find in their path.___18___ The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour (跑酷) today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance.___19___ But parkour enthusiasts themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”.___20___ Indeed, many do parkour just to escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
