Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs. 1. G-GPS G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) 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. 2. P-Finder 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 guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike. Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name. You can buy the app for $5 on its official website. 3. N-Land N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地). By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that 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 territories are regularly added. You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help. 11. Which app can provide a whole view of mountain peaks? A. G-GPS. B. P-Finder. C. N-Land. D. A-Trails. 12. What do the three apps have in common? A. They suit all levels of hikers. B. They should be used with other apps. C. They are free of charge in the app stores. D. They can be used without Internet connection. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. G-GPS is a must for hikers due to its database. B. P-Finder can automatically take a photo for users. C. N-Land can increase users’ knowledge of the land. D V-Ranger can attach the correct name to each location. 14. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To recommend apps for hikers. B. To introduce various hiking trails. C. To encourage people to go hiking. D. To compare different kinds of apps. B 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 (放射线) 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 (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13pairs 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 (言语的) 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 (接触) 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 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. association B. damage C. pattern D. improvement 16. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies. B. Phone users can make more money with new networks. 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 (推出) 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. 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 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.
