one that meets your needs.
1.G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (tools designed for remote
mountainous areas.For some hikers,dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database
are a must for a hiking app.G-GPS has both,which makes it a great option for beginners and
expert hikers alike.It provides data like pace,distance and increased height.Moreover,it
works fine when you're offline and without cell service.
If you're a fan of cold-temperature hiking,this app's paid version($40)has a winter map
choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.

Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak,looking at another
mountain and wondering“What peak is that?”
If you'd like to avoid the problem,P-Finde might be the app for you.It takes the

peaks and their names from your current location,requiring no Internet connection.Plus,all

nation,language,or treaty,where you can view some sources,give feedback,and learn a little
more.You can even do this if you're offline.This app is an ongoing project,and maps of new

Teenagers who talk on the cellphone a lot,and hold their phones up to their right ears,
score worse on one type of memory test.That's the finding of a new study.That memory
impairment might be one side effect of the radiation that phones use to keep us
connected while we're on the go.
Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory.This type helps us remember
abstract symbols and shapes,explains Milena Foerster.The teens took memory tests
twice,one year apart.Each time,they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes.
Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five
choices.The study volunteers also took a test of verbal (memory.That's the ability to
remember words.The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test.The researchers also
surveyed the teens on how they use cellphones.And they got call records from phone
companies.The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using
their phones.This allowed the researchers to work out how big a radiation exposure (
each person could have got while talking.
A phone user's exposure to the radiation can differ widely.Some teens talk on their
phones more than others.People also hold their phones differently.If the phone is close to the
ear,more radiation may enter the body,Foerster notes.Even the type of network signal that a
phone uses can matter.Much of Switzerland was using an older"second-generation"type of
cellphone networks,.the study reports..Many phone carriers(通讯公司)have moved away
from such networks.And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few
years.
The teens'scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the
next.But those who normally held their phones near the right ears,and who were also exposed
to higher levels of radiation,scored a little bit worse after a year.No group of teens showed big
第3页共8页
changes on the verbal memory test.Why might one type of memory be linked to cellphone use,
but not another?Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in
the brain.The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
15.The underlined word"impairment"in Paragraph 1 most probably means"
A.damage
B.association
C.pattern
D.improvement
16.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.Phone users can make more money with new networks.
B.How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.
C.The cellphone network type has little to do the cellphone use.
D.Radiation levels are affected by the cellphone network types.
17.According to the study,teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse
in
A.matching numbers
B.reading signals
C.remembering shapes
D.learning words
18.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Cellphone use and safety warnings
B.Facts about cellphone use at school
C.Dangerous levels of cellphone use among teens
D.Teen's cellphone use linked to memory problems
C
Technology is forever changing the way we get our news.Many people now get a lot of
their news on electronic devices,instead of traditional media,such as newspapers,television or
radio.Now,there is a new way we get the news:computer-created news readers.
Recently,China's Xinhua launched()the world's first AI news presenters with the
Chinese search engine Sogou.The news readers created by machine learning technology are
based on two real-life newsmen.One is able to present newscasts in English;the other,in
Mandarin Chinese.
Machine learning is used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen,which
look and sound like real people.Some machine learning experts said the system showed off
China's latest progress in voice recognition,text-to-speech technology and data analysis.But
several experts suggested that the term AI does not correctly describe abilities of the robotic
news readers.
On social media,many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real.People
blamed them for not being more lifelike.Others wondered about the effects robots might have
on employment and workers.Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy
labor will be easily replaced by robots.Others praised the technology as a way for companies
to make money from low-cost labor machines.
Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news
operations.Britain's BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look
like one of its news readers speaking different languages.The London-based company that
developed the system says its goal is to"remove the language barrier"for many different kinds

of video across the Internet.
19.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A.Introduce the topic of the text.
B.Summarize the different opinions
C.Add some data about the AI presenters.
D.Compare different ways of getting news.
20.What is the machine learning technology used to do?
A.To bring newscasts up to date every hour.
B.To help AI presenters speak more fluently.
C.To keep AI presenters from making any mistakes.
D.To ensure images and sounds are like those of real persons.
21.What are some people worried about when AI presenters were launched?
A.Robots will rule over the world in the end.
B.Robots may threaten some people's employment.
C.Robots may endanger most people's health.
D.Robots will eventually replace human all over.
22.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.BBC has removed the language barrier in newscasts.
B.BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does.
C.BBC shows interest in Xinhua's AI news presenters.
D.BBC's news readers can explore different technologies.

In China,more and more vacationers want to spend their spare time at lesser-known
vacation lands to have unique,relaxing holiday experiences.23
According to data from the online travel agency Qunar,as cited by Beijing Daily,during
the National Day,the number of rooms booked at hotels in less traveled cities during the
holiday was up 30%year on year.24 Some young people who have little time for
themselves simply stayed at a hotel to make the holiday more relaxing.
Dai Bin,president of the China Tourism Academy,told Beijing Daily,25"As
people become more mature travelers,they don't want to follow the crowd.Some of them
simply want to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days to experience the local culture
deeply.
In addition,lesser-known attractions are not as“commercial”and“standardized”as
developed ones.26 And unlike popular destinations,some under explored
开发的)places with little online showing can also offer more surprises.
"The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,"said an opinion piece in Zhengzhou Daily.
“27

popular"search engine"for the Internet.People use the search engine to find information about
almost any subject on the Internet.The people who started the company named it Google
