Four of the best off-grid(不入网的) stays in the UK
Shepherds’ Retreat
Granite peaks,vivid green fields and speeding clouds are your only neighbours at this remote cottage in the Sperrins.Glass doors open straight on to this landscape,and though there’s no phone reception or wifi,there’s a TV with DVDs,and plenty of books to enjoy by the fire.There are stone circles and mountain bike trails(小路) nearby.
Laggan Cottage
On the Ardnish peninsula (半岛) and accessible only by boat—or a three-hour hike—this comfortable off-grid pad is seriously isolated (偏僻的).There’s zero mobile signal and no TV.Paraffin lamps,wood-burning stoves for hot water and a Calor gas cooker are the only modern conveniences you get.It is perfect for a week of watching the wildlife,hiking,and swimming.
Straw Cottage
Candles and lanterns,gas lamps and solar lights create atmosphere at this straw-bale cottage,constructed using centuries-old methods.With no electricity or wifi,this home set on Ty Gwyn Farm offers true escapism.Young explorers can play in the stream,follow a treasure hunt and toast marshmallows by the fire.Dogs are welcome,too.
East Lodge
Other than the lack of wifi,East Lodge is a perfectly contemporary cottage.Arch windows accompany modern conveniences including a TV and DVDs for movie nights,though you may prefer to switch off and focus on outdoor fun,biking on nature trails and watching the wildlife.

I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror.I was wearing white tights,a white leotard,and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair.I was one of the 10 snowflakes in my dance school’s Winter Wonderland show.
“Grandma,I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said.Grandma Lani looked up from what she was sewing.“Why,mo’opuna ” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian.Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii.“You love to dance.” I used to love to dance.Then Ms.Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams.Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled.And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself.The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm.I sighed.“I don’t like our dance.And no one would notice if I wasn’t there.There are so many of us.” “I would notice.So would your parents.”
As Christine walked towards us,Grandma paused and smiled at her.“What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away,her skirt waving behind her.I hung my head.Grandma took my hand.“What’s bothering my Avery ” “And you won’t be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.
Grandma was about to speak.Then something outside the window caught her eye.She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside.It was snowing.Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something.“Grandma,have you ever seen snow before ” “No,mo’opuna.In Hawaii,it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”
I had seen snow lots of times,but now I tried to see it differently.Like it was new.I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions,sparkling and shining at us.So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical.“Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky.Aloha can mean many things,including “love,” “hello,” and “good-bye.” “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said.I took Grandma Lani’s hand and pulled her back inside.
When the stage lights came up and the music started,I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes.I didn’t care if Grandma Lani could see me.I was helping her see a snowstorm.

Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer in Canada’s Banff National Park when a series of screams shocked him awake.Throwing on his shoes and grabbing a lantern his wife had handed him,he ran out to investigate.Despite the darkness,he could make out a neighboring tent.Backing out was a wolf,dragging something in his teeth—a man.
Moments earlier,Elisa and Matt,were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent.“It was like something out of a horror movie,” Elisa recalled.For three minutes,Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys and fought against the wolf.At one point,Matt got the upper hand,but the wolf turned the tables and dragged Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.
It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture.He ran at the beast,kicking it in the hip.The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent.Fee felt like he had hit someone that was way out of his weight class.
Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee,Matt,his arms bloodied,restarted the battle.The men threw at the wolf with rocks,forcing it back.Then the families fled to the shelter of the Fees’ minivan and called an ambulance.
“Attacks are so rare that a person here has a greater chance of being killed by a dog,lightning,a bee sting,or a car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf,” said Matt.
Fee did think about drawing back,if less heroic,during the heat of battle.The moment the wolf locked eyes with him,Fee said,“I immediately regretted kicking it.”
8.What were the two families doing in the park
A.They were making a horror movie.
B.They were camping in the wild.
C.They were studying wolves.
D.They were investigating the park.
9.How did Matt escape from the wolf
A.By Fee’s kicking the wolf from behind.
B.By turning the table on the wolf.
C.By placing his hand tightly on the wolf.
D.By his wife’s pulling his legs.
10.What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A.Many deer are killed by vehicles.
B.Dogs are people’s friends in need.
C.Wolves seldom attack people there.
D.People are often attacked by wolves.
11.Which word can best describe Fee in the story
A.Brave. B.Responsible.
C.Indifferent. D.Clever.
D
In the past few decades,great progress has been made in the field of space exploration,which has enabled mankind to have a deeper understanding of the solar system,our place in it and in the universe.“We sent probes (探测仪) to every planet in the solar system.This is by far the best one,” said Clayton,vice president of Blue Origin.“Let’s focus right now on protecting the Earth environment,and then we’ll go from here.Space science and technology should be people-centric and application-centric,and focus on improving human life.We need to have a strong footing on the Earth,and learn to solve the day-to-day problems of the society.”
“Space technology can help achieve the 17 sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030 set by the United Nations.Satellite monitoring can really help with agriculture,”said Victoria,CEO of a company working on sustainable development.“Through Global Navigation Satellite System,animals’ movement information recorded on self-recharging devices can be transmitted to the company’s server.Farmers can be alerted in real time if anomalies (反常现象) are detected.We can use it to ensure the traceability of the entire meat chain.As a result,it enables consumers to know that the beef they are eating does not come from protected areas or the cattle don’t contribute to deforestation.”
As early as 2007,Michael Griffin,former Administrator of NASA,put forward the concept of the “space economy” in a speech.He is very optimistic about the market prospect of commercial space and said,“According to the latest data,the global space industry could reach $1 trillion in 2040,up from $378 billion currently.I believe more business models and space activities will be created in the future to achieve the economic scale of $1 trillion.”
As an entrepreneur(创业者)herself,Victoria thinks the thriving space market will bring countless opportunities for entrepreneurs.She mentioned future settlements on Mars or on the Moon.“If we are going to develop a new society outside the Earth,we will need all types of applications and all types of startups.But coming back to the Earth,there are so many problems that need to be solved,and space technology can really help with that.”
12.What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 1 refer to
A.A successful space exploration.
B.A probe sent to other planets.
C.The planet people are living on now.
D.The solar system people are exploring.
13.In Clayton’s opinion,what should be the first concern about space technology
A.Providing more financial support.
B.Improving people’s life on Earth.
C.Sending more probes into the universe.
D.The development of related technology.
14.How does Victoria support her statement about satellite monitoring in paragraph 2
A.By making reasoning.
B.By providing accurate figures.
C.By making comparison.
D.By illustrating it from different aspects.
15.What does the text mainly talk about
A.The necessity of space exploration.
B.Breakthroughs in space exploration.
C.The possible application of space technology.
D.Controversial issues about space technology.
