              Tips for Cycle Trips

              Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by humanpower, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with poweredtravel.Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.

              Distance

              On level terrain(地形),without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike cancomfortably cover 60-120km a day.Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anythingmuch beyond 120km willrequire considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoythe places you visit.For many80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as itwill give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.

              Geography

              The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range.A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time.In hilly ormountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as they will be downhilloverall.A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short,direct route over a hill or mountain pass.However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenicroutes often come from hilly terrain(地形).

              Eat

              Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective(各自的) sections for moreinformation about foods. As you will be working hard, it’s important to get enough energy in yourfood. On long trips away from major towns,there may be little quality food available, so beprepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like(and so on)if the need arises.

              Sleep

              While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate(provide … a place to stay)cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.Ifyou are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the accommodationcanspare you the search for anew place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.

              (1) Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?
              A. 50km.    B. 130km.   C. 90km.    D. 250km.
              (2) From the passage, we can learn that_____________.
              A. cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy
              B. hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists
              C. high quality food is easy to get on long trips
              D. it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude
              (3) We can probably read this passage in_______________.
              A. a geography book               
              B. a travel magazine
              C. a science fiction

              There is an island called Kitava，way out there in the Pacific Ocean，in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea．It is one of the four main Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12，000 native residents．Rich with culture，surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest，Kitava is as apealing as it is remote．But it has more to offer than good views．
              As Byrdie reports，Kitava is also home to a people whose diet and nutritional habits remain healthy，untouched by Western influence．A lifetime of not knowing the sweet，sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease； it's also given them a lifetime of smooth，acne（痤疮）-free skin．
              In a study of l'，200 subjects-including 300 teens and young adults-conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days，not one breakout was reported．They also found that genetics played little to no role in the results．
              In fact，the average Kitavan diet is fairly common．It's simple，with no"miracle fruit"or"rare nut"to speak of，and Kitavans don't even exercise much．That diet consists mainly of yams（ 山荮），sweet potatoes，and taro （芋头），local fruits （namely coconut），fish，and vegetables．
              But if you're already pulling out your suitcases and drafting a resignation letter to your boss，you might want to slow your step．For one thing，the closest airport is over 700 miles away from the island，so good luck getting there．And consider this：do you really want to move somewhere where you'll be the only person with acne until the diet kicks in？I don't think so．

              (1) Which are the contributing factors of attracting visitors to the island？ ______
              a．Rich culture．b．Clean white sand c．Thick rainforest
              d．Clear blue water e．Romote tribes
              A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. ade
              (2) What accounts for the fact that the Kitavans own good skin？ ______
              A. They don't like eating salt．．
              B. They enjoy varieties of rare fruits．
              C. They are sick of exercising．．
              D. They follow simple but healthy diet．
              (3) What is unlikely to be included in the Kitavans'diet？ ______ ．
              A. Taro B. Fish C. Potato chips D. Coconut
              (4) What can we learn from the last paragraph？ ______
              A. Think twice before moving to Kitava．
              B. Don't hesitate to quit your job and move there．
              C. One can reach Kitava by plane without difficulty．
              D. Anyone will own acne-free skin on stepping on Kitava．

              The Cuban iguana is a species of lizard（蜥蜴）of the iguana family．It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas，one of the most endangered groups of lizards．This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean．
              The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous； 95% of its diet consists of the leaves，flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species，including the seaside rock bush and various grasses． However，Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter，and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds，fish and crabs，The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident．
              The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes，Puerto Rico．It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac，where a separate subspecies occurs．Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles． To avoid the attack from them，the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）．
              In general the species is in decline，more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands．One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by t he over consuming of farm animals，housing development，and the building of tourist resorts on the beacheswhere the animals prefer to build their nests． Although the wild population is in decline，the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养） and other conservation programs．

              (1) The underlined word"herbivorous"（Paragraph 2）probably means ______ ．
              A. dangerous B. gentle
              		C. plant-eating D. flesh-eating
              (2) Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti？ ______
              A. To keep itself cool．
              B. To get the food easily．
              C. To stay away from people．
              D. To avoid crocodiles'attack．
              (3) How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction？ ______
              A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
              (4) What's the author's purpose of writing the text？ ______
              A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana．
              B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana．
              C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline．

              A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

              Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

                The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

                 As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story， the Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

              Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

                  AVOID BIG EVENTS. Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost pf accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.) cost￡169.15 at Booking. com. A week later, the same room cost￡118.15.

                  If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or youˈre looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com. which allow your to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

                  GET ON A BIKE. Londonˈs "Boris bikes" have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

              Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest，Mount Qomolangma's peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap．
              So far，more than 350climbers have successfully reached the peak．And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks （狭窄路段） on the way to the peak，a situation that isn't just uncomfortable-it's cold and windy up there-but downright dangerous．If bad weather strikes，climbers can and do die．
              As a matter of fact，the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Qomolangma．All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear-and much of them ends up being left on the mountain，sometimes even the peak itself．Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's largest dump．Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma："The two standard routes，the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge，are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere．"
              But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma．Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition，which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008．So far they've collected over 13tons of garbage．
              Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose．As part of the Mount Everest 8844Art Project，a group of 15artists from Nepal collected 1.5tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers．They've transformed the cans and oxygen tanks-and in one case，part of the remains of a helicopter-into 74pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital．Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association，which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain．

              (1) What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma's peak？ ______
              A. They are relatively safe．
              B. They are often crowded．
              C. They are very easy to pass．
              D. They are sites of base camps．
              (2) What does the underlined word"gear"mean？ ______
              A. Equipment for climbing mountains．
              B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain．
              C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks．
              D. Some rubbish found on the mountain．
              (3) The group of 15Nepali artists ______ ．
              A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma
              B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association
              C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5tons of trash
              D. painted 74beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma's peak
              (4) What can be the best title for the text？ ______
              A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful
              B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge Mess
              C. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma
              D. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma．

              As a magnet for foreign companies，Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and businesspeople from different sectors，including tourism，automobiles and electronics．The city's population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands，with tens of thousands each of Japanese，Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese （缅甸人） who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais．
              For those used to the good life，the variety and quality of the city's food is a key attraction，says one US manager，before listing many of his favourite Italian，Mexican and，of course，Thai restaurants．Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London．
              Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok's other attractions，too．For overseas businesspeople who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort，the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls．Some foreigners，however，prefer the charms of Chatuchak Market，where anything can be bought at a good price by the shrewd bargainer．
              When the time comes to talk business many overseas businesspeople prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course．Thailand has thousands of courses，which can provide a welcome break from the bustle of city life．But most businesspeople go to the golf course because it's the perfect place to discuss the next big deal．
