The Bicycle Adventure Club (BAC) is a non-profit, bicycle touring club for serious cyclists with a current membership outnumbering several thousand. Members volunteer to create and lead a variety of bicycle tours. Our club goes back over 40 years to the Bicycle Touring Society. We have a large number of members who have been with the club for many years. We enjoy the fellowship of exploring the world with our cycling friends on tours developed by club members for other members.
Membership in BAC is open to experienced touring cyclists over 18 years old. The membership fee to join is $ 30 for an individual and $ 60 for a couple; renewal fees each year after that are $20 for individuals and $40 for couples and is due on the anniversary of your join date. Members that allow their membership to stop will need to rejoin the BAC at the full rate. Only BAC members can sign up for and participate in rides. New BAC members are required to have email access in order to receive club communications and to apply for club rides.
Each rider brings his/her own bicycle or rents one suitable for the ride. The bicycle should be in good condition and each rider is responsible for performing his or her own bike maintenance (维护) as necessary. It is up to each participant to determine that he or she is able to do any ride for which they sign up. However, the ride leader makes the final determination as to who is accepted for each ride.
If you’re a serious cyclist and this sounds like your type of club, please join us.

The classic 1951 science fiction film “The Day the Earth Stood Still” includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. What does this mean I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.
24. What did the author probably meet with
A. Hearing loss. B. Cultural shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot.
25. What makes the author fall behind in language
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
26. What does the author think of language change
A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid.
27. What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph
A. Lessens. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
C
Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”
Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).
“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
28. How does the new VR experience try to educate children
A. By introducing a virtual friend to them. B. By finding the causes of a fire event.
C. By letting them solve virtual problems. D. By guiding them to ask a dog for help.
29. What did the result of the research about VR experiences show
A. Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
B. They helped children deal with fire postively.
C. They benefited children with knowledge of animals.
D. Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
30. What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
31. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B. VR experiences make learning easier for kids
C. VR education appeals to the young generation D. VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.
D
Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own understanding of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought — it was really an exciting experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.
Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year, I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.
I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Lake the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement (参与) of us all in a process of common discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the key points of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.
Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to pliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.
In comparison in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.
32. Which word best describes the author’s first Greek philosophy class
A. Boring. B. Amazing. C. Confusing. D. Depressing.
33. Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers
A. To praise Dr. Degenaar’s attitude to his job.
B. To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.
C. To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.
D. To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.
34. How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning
A. It has no specific learning places. B. It applies knowledge to medical care.
C It encourages independent thinking. D. It focuses more on the result of learning.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. A respected teacher. B. A favorite university lesson.
C. The factors of experiential learning. D. An effective learning method.

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：角落里有一幅油画，它已经在那里好几天了。第一个句子是there be句型，空格处需要非谓语动词，动词lie与an oil painting构成主动关系，故使用现在分词短语lying in the corner作后置定语修饰an oil painting，第二空根据句意和for several days可知，第二空动作先于was，使用过去完成时，lie (位于，处于)是一个不规则动词，过去式和过去分词为(lay, lain) ，故C正确。

The classic 1951 science fiction film “The Day the Earth Stood Still” includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. What does this mean I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.
24. What did the author probably meet with
A. Hearing loss. B. Cultural shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot.
25. What makes the author fall behind in language
A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse.
26. What does the author think of language change
A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid.
27. What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph
A. Lessens. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者随着年龄增长不能适应英语语言进化的经历和担忧。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused. (但当我无意中听到我的学生彼此交谈时，我也经常感到困惑)”和第三段中“Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. (最近，当我走进教室时，我的学生们正在愉快地聊天。他们的一个评论引起了我的注意：“Venmo it to me”。我不知道“Venmo”是什么意思，所以我问了)”可知，作者遇到了语言障碍，时常无法理解学生们交谈的内容。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. (其中一个“问题”是，随着时间的流逝，我变老了，但我的学生们还是一样的年龄——18到22岁。早些时候，当我二三十岁的时候，这不是一个问题，因为我们年龄相仿，说着同样的语言。但最近我清楚地意识到，一艘语言之船似乎已经启航，而我却不在船上)”可知，日益扩大的年龄差异使作者在语言上落后，无法理解年轻的学生们所说的内容。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language. (我并不反对变化，但当变化的速度让我紧张不安时，我就会感到不舒服。如果我从五年的小睡中醒来，我根本不知道人们在谈论什么。我就是听不懂他们的语言)”可推知，作者认为语言变化得太快了，让自己无所适从，五年的变化便足以让自己跟不上。故选D项。
【27题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations. (我庆幸自己至少对他们谈论的内容感兴趣，也庆幸自己有能力——在很大程度上——理解他们的解释)”和“But”可知，此处有转折，当前作者依然有了解学生们谈话内容的兴趣，但是担心有一天这种兴趣减退了，自己就完全无法理解他们的话了。因此，wanes的意思应该是“减退，减少”，与lessens意思相近。故选A项。
C
Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.
Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”
Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet the ability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).
“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.
28. How does the new VR experience try to educate children
A. By introducing a virtual friend to them. B. By finding the causes of a fire event.
C. By letting them solve virtual problems. D. By guiding them to ask a dog for help.
29. What did the result of the research about VR experiences show
A. Many children found it hard to adapt to them.
B. They helped children deal with fire postively.
C. They benefited children with knowledge of animals.
D. Most children had a misunderstanding about them.
30. What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
31. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B. VR experiences make learning easier for kids
C. VR education appeals to the young generation D. VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型虚拟现实体验可以帮助孩子们学会如何在火灾中避险求生。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.(针对10-12岁的儿童，新的虚拟现实体验提出了一种情况，即儿童被要求在火灾开始蔓延之前照顾朋友的狗。他们参加一系列的解决问题的活动，以帮助拯救和保护自己和狗。)”可知，VR体验通过让孩子们在虚拟情境中解决问题来教育他们如何应对火灾状况。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire.(调查结果显示，超过80%的儿童报告说，他们感到更有信心冷静地评估情况，并作出明智的决定，以保护自己免受火灾。)”可推断知，这种虚拟现实体验可以积极地帮助孩子们应对火灾。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据第四段中Weber的话“Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools. (精心设计的虚拟现实技术可以为孩子们提供一个应用新学到的知识的机会，加强他们所学到的概念，并使他们能够立即作出反应——这些都是非常有价值的学习工具。)”可推知，Weber对这种新型虚拟现实体验持支持的态度。故选D。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR) experience educated primarychildren about the fire disaster was done.(近年来，人们开展了一项新的虚拟现实(VR)体验对小学生进行火灾知识教育的研究。)”及全文可知, 本文主要介绍了一种新型虚拟现实体验可以帮助孩子们学会如何在火灾中避险求生。所以A项“VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire(虚拟现实教育孩子如何在火灾中生存)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
D
Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own understanding of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought — it was really an exciting experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.
Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year, I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.
I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Lake the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement (参与) of us all in a process of common discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the key points of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.
Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to pliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.
In comparison, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.
32. Which word best describes the author’s first Greek philosophy class
A. Boring. B. Amazing. C. Confusing. D. Depressing.
33. Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers
A. To praise Dr. Degenaar’s attitude to his job.
B. To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.
C. To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.
D. To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who ‘taught’ me during that year, I remember they ‘taught’ me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.(那次经历已经过去近50年了。在那一年里‘教’我的其他讲师，我记得他们‘教’我希腊哲学史，但我对那段历史和那些讲师几乎没有印象。我对希腊哲学的大部分记忆都是我在Degenaar博士的课上学到的，出于我自己的兴趣)”可知，通过比较Degenaar博士和其他讲师的课，作者只对Degenaar博士的课记忆深刻，强调了Degenaar博士对他的巨大影响。故选B。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In comparison, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a ‘teacher’ or ‘lecturer’ says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it.(相比之下，在体验式学习中，学习者被鼓励独立思考，而不是重复老师的思维模式。学习的发生不是因为‘老师’或‘讲师’说了什么，而是因为学习者做了什么。从这个意义上说，我认为这是最好的学习方式，每个人都应该尝试并从中学习)”可知，作者通过比较Degenaar博士的体验式学习法和其他讲师使用的传统学习法，指出：体验式学习法鼓励学习者思考，是最好的学习方式，故本文主要是关于一种有效的学习方法。故选D。

I’m Li Hua, president of the Student Union. I have found that many students spend very a little time on physical exercise due to the heavy burden of schoolwork. Now, it’s time to call on students to fit exercise into our busy schedule.
It is universally recognized that exercise is of great importance to physical and mental health. Besides, taking regular exercise improves our concentration and reduces academic stress. To encourage everyone to live a more active life, I recommend jogging and skipping rope, which are cost-effective ways to strengthen endurance and maintain a healthy weight.
Come on! Let’s make exercising our life habits, and we will surely benefit from it both physically and mentally.
