Cycling (骑车) holidays in the UK are one of the best things you can do with friends or as a family. We have researched the best routes (路线) for the perfect cycling holiday on TripAdvisor.

The 60-foot-tall rocket took off in West Texas, sending a group of six people into space and giving them a few minutes of weightlessness before they landed by parachute (降落伞).
Most of the passengers paid a secret sum of money for their seats. But Katya Echazarreta, an engineer and science communicator, was selected by a nonprofit organization to join this travel from a pool of thousands of applicants (申请 ). The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who say that viewing the Earth from space gives them a great change in their view.
“Looking down, you see everyone is down there, all of our past, all of our difficulties, everything — everything is there,” Echazarreta said. “When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want to do.”
Echazarreta is the first Mexican-born woman to travel into space. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled (回忆说) that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she was the main breadwinner in her family. She had sometimes up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.
She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has a following of more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.
24.Why was Echazarreta chosen to travel into space
A.She made great efforts to set up a nonprofit organization.
B.She supported the project with a big sum of money.
C.She was considered to be an excellent woman.
D.She was an expert in space science.
25.What was in Echazarreta’s mind after she returned from space travel
A.To make women scientists known to the public.
B.To share the beauty of space on social media.
C.To encourage the public to learn science.
D.To help more people travel into space.
26.Which of the following can replace the word “fueled” in Paragraph 4
A.Beat. B.Drove. C.Confused. D.Attracted.
27.What kind of person is probably Echazarreta
A.Inspiring and hardworking. B.Humorous and outgoing.
C.Talented and creative. D.Calm and confident.

In October, 2019, Beijing Daily warned the youth that they shouldn't let Internet slang(俚语)deepen the generation gap(代沟),after People Daily started a discussion on Chinese microblog Weibo on how to “explain” the youth’s Internet slang terms to parents. The post got 40,000 likes. People were commenting that they couldn’t keep up with the rapidly developing Internet lingo(术语)in China.
People also fear that Chinese Internet slang will negatively influence broader linguistic(语言的)trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin, the romanization of traditional Chinese characters using the Western alphabet. As pinyin gets widely used when people text or write on mobile phones or computers, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them, which is called “character amnesia” in China.
2019’s latest slang terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms. “Awsl” in pinyin, for instance, means Ah, wo si le (Oh, I'm gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable. “Nsdd” stands for ni shuo de dui (you’re right).
Certainly, as an age-old written language, Chinese has been evolving and developing over the years. But the Chinese Internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese, but will rather be enriching it by adding another layer.
Acronyms aren’t new. They have appeared with the limited space available in early-generation cell phone messaging. Some of them have become a part of the English language, such as BTW (by the way) and LOL (laugh out loud), while others had a rather short lifetime. That's likely to be what's going to happen with China’s Internet slang terms. Some are going to be old in a few weeks, while others might make it into mainstream use, and as they do, young net users are coming up with new slang words to differentiate themselves.
In China, using Internet slang means belonging to a certain generation that likes to watch the same talk shows, play the same games, etc., and therefore, creates unity. Older generations don't have to feel left out, and certainly don’t have to fear a degradation (没落) of the Chinese language. While language development is unavoidable, Internet slang is not going to let 6,000 years of Chinese written language completely change overnight.
28.The public are worried about Chinese Internet slang abuse because
A.It's used by children to keep secrets from parents.
B.It can cause confusion even among young people.
C.It was invented in response to the limited messaging space.
D.It will rarely have a positive effect on linguistic trends of Chinese.
29.How do Chinese Internet slang terms affect the Chinese language
A.They add variety to the language.
B.They are replacing its traditional vocabulary.
C.They make the language more global.
D.They only have temporary effects on Chinese.
30.By using Internet slang in China, people may get.
A.a sense of purpose
B.a sense of group identity
C.a sense of cultural pride
D.a sense of safety
31.Which could be the best title for the passage
A.Is Media Helping Older Generation Understand Internet Slang
B.Is Chinese Language Too Powerful to Be Largely Affected
C.Is Mandarin Chinese Useful to Bridge the Generation Gap
D.Is Internet Slang Deepening the Generation Gap, Ruining Chinese
D
No matter how many steps you take each day, your health benefits add up. But those who take 7,000 steps a day may be adding years to their lives.
New research found that middle-aged adults who took that many steps daily were up to 70 percent less likely to die at a younger-than-expected age than were those whose movement total fewer than 7,000 steps a day. The study, which involved 2,110 middle-aged adults who wore a step-counting device and then were tracked for nearly 11 years, was published in the journal JAMA Network Open. How fast participants walked (referred to as their step intensity) did not affect their mortality risk. Rather, those who walked more lived longer. The researchers found, however, that taking more than 10,000 steps a day - the number often cited as a daily goal for health - produced no further drop in mortality risk.
Physical activity like walking is considered one of the most important things people can do to improve their well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A former CDC director described physical activity as the closest thing we have to a wonder drug. Among its benefits, walking can reduce risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression and it can help control weight and improve sleep. It is considered good for your bones, muscles heart and brain. Although walking is considered safe for most people, those who have any concerns should check with their doctor before launching any new physical activity routine. For adults generally, national guidelines focus on time spent on an activity rather than number of steps, recommending 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking.
32.Based on the information in the passage, what might be a potential reason for the researchers’ focus on middle-aged adults
A.Middle-aged adults are more concerned about their health.
B.Middle-aged adults are at a higher risk of developing diseases.
C.Middle-aged adults are more likely to engage in regular physical activity.
D.Middle-aged adults have a higher mortality rate compared to other age groups.
33.What does the underlined phrase “their mortality risk” refer to
A.How long they could live.
B.What health benefits they got.
C.Whether physical activities worked for them.
D.Their chance to suffer from health problems.
34.What can we learn from the passage
A.Walking speed matters as much as how many steps one has taken.
B.The research spanned through the whole life of 2,110 middle-aged adults.
C.Walking more than 10.000 steps a day brings similar health benefits as 7,000.
D.National guidelines offer the adults the recommendation on number of steps.
35.Which of the following is the appropriate headline for this passage
A.How to Extend Your Lifespan B.Walking and Its Restrictions
C.The Benefits of Physical Activities D.7000 Steps Lengthens Your Life
