Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. 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.
31. Which app can provide a whole view of mountain peaks
A. G-GPS. B. P-Finder. C. N-Land. D. A-Trails.
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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
Hansel Enmanuel, a 19-year-old basketball player, has drawn attention after videos spread quickly showing his awesome skills, like making 3-point shots and dunking (灌篮) with ease. All with just his right arm. It looks almost effortless when he plays. However, it’s not. It never has been.
Enmanuel was 6 when he was climbing a wall. It fell over him, bricks and blocks on his left arm. He was rushed to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t save his arm and it was cut off several inches below the shoulder. It was a dark time for Enmanuel and his family.
Slowly, things got better for the little boy. He still remembers the first time he tied his shoes. Just 7, Enmanuel was waiting for his mother to do it for him, but she was busy cooking. “I was like, never mind, I’m going to start,” he said in a recent interview. “I told myself let me try. I was trying. Then I made it.” “So I was excited, excited like crazy,” he added.
Small things became huge victories. Months after that, Enmanuel tried basketball, too. But it’s not an easy path. His missing arm left him lacking balance. Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills.
Enmanuel first dunked at 14, and it wasn’t long before his popularity grew with the views on his videos. But it wasn’t the highlight videos that interested his coach, Corey Gipson. He liked Enmanuel’s attitude and the way he carried himself on the court. “Hansel is a very tough person, “ Gipson said. “When you see him on the floor, you just see an unstoppable force that doesn’t take anything for granted (理所应当). ” “I’m not special,” Enmanuel said. “I’m not different than nobody. The only difference is that I’ve got one arm, but that’s not different.”
35. What first encouraged Enmanuel to recover from the accident
A. The help from his doctor. B. Managing to tie his shoes.
C. Videos on his shots and dunking. D. The attention from his mother.
36. What interested Enmanuel’s coach host
A. His response to difficulties. B. His great sense of balance.
C. His confidence on the court D. His popularity on social media.
37. What does the story intend to tell us
A. He who laughs last laughs best.
B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D. You can make a difference by being different.
C
Sportsmanship is the cornerstone of competitive sports, representing the principles of fair play, respect and honesty. It goes beyond winning and losing, emphasizing the importance of moral behavior, respecting each other, and fellowship.
At the heart of sportsmanship lies the concept of fair play. It fosters (培养) a culture of rule-following, fair judgment, and equal opportunities for all participants. Fair play encourages athletes to compete with integrity, showing honesty and accepting the outcomes gracefully. It fosters an environment where cheating, unsportsmanlike and rude behavior are discouraged. By upholding fair play, athletes develop a sense of morality (道德) and a strong character that extends beyond the field of sports.
Sportsmanship also includes respect and empathy (共情), creating an environment that encourages understanding and camaraderie. Athletes show respect for opponents, officials, and teammates, recognizing their contributions and valuing their abilities. They appreciate the various backgrounds, skills and perspectives that athletes from different teams bring to the game. Through respect and empathy, sportsmanship bridges gaps, promotes inclusivity and fosters a sense of unity among athletes and fans alike.
Sportsmanship is shown by athletes who act as role models, inspiring others with their conduct on and off the field. When athletes display sportsmanship, they send a powerful message to young fans, teaching them the importance of fair play, respect and moral behavior. This positive influence extends to society as a whole, where sportsmanship can shape attitudes, values and behaviors beyond the field of sports. By upholding the principles of sportsmanship, athletes contribute to a healthier, more caring society.
Sports organizations, coaches and educators play an important role in promoting sportsmanship. They should
foster an environment that encourages fair play, respect and honesty. Emphasizing sportsmanship in training programs and competitions helps athletes develop a strong moral compass,empowering them to make moral choices both in sports and in life. Furthermore, fans and audience should also welcome sportsmanship, creating a positive atmosphere that encourages fair competition and respect for all participants.
Sportsmanship is the bedrock of competitive sports, emphasizing the values of fair play and respect. It improves the sporting experience, fosters unity and shapes athletes into responsible and caring individuals. By promoting sportsmanship, we can create a sporting culture where victories are celebrated but fairness, respect and the spirit of the game take center stage.
38. What does the underlined word “camaraderie” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Friendship. B. Leadership. C. Contribution. D. Competition.
39. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about
A. How sportsmanship is understood. B. Why sportsmanship is stressed.
C. When sportsmanship is shaped. D. Where sportsmanship is treasured.
40. What can be learned from Paragraph 5
A. Athletes should be trained to make moral choices.
B. Audience could influence athletes’ performance in sports.
C. Promoting sportsmanship requires everyone’s contribution.
D. Officials should take a lead in creating a positive atmosphere.
41. What is the best title for this passage
A. Sportsmanship:Advantages of Doing Sports
B. Sportsmanship:Spirit of Fair Play and Respect
C. Showing Sportsmanship:Qualities of a Good Player
D. Teaching Sportsmanship:Values of Honesty and Courage
D
If you’re looking for any sort of career advice, it’s likely you’ve heard a certain suggestion before: Pursue your passion! In this economy, you’ll barely make any money no matter what you do, so why not do something you’re passionate about
However, that’s not exactly how the world works. Passion is rarely enough to get you through on its own. Finding a project you love is all well and good on a sunny day when you’re feeling okay. But on those gray days when you’re suffering from the flu or you’re otherwise down, passion is rarely enough to get it done
I know that feeling. At the most basic level, I spend every day writing. I’m passionate about writing and the topics I cover. But today, it’s too cold outside. I didn’t get enough sleep and all I can think about is crawling into a nice warm bed. Yet, I’m sitting here, typing up a post just for you. How do I keep it up
There’s another route you could go. You could take on anything that pays the bills, then find fun projects you’re passionate about on the side. This is exactly the route I took when I was a freelancer (自由职业者) fresh out of college. That approach, as it happens, leads straight to passion burnout.
The reason I’m still planted firmly at my keyboard on a day when I don’t have an immediate deadline is not just because I’m passionate about writing. I also have a sense of purpose. Besides following your passion, you also need to define your purpose. I write to help businesses with their content because I know my writing makes a difference for them.
My purpose keeps my passion. My work is something I’ll stick to whether or not I feel passionate about writing anything today.
You can find your purpose as well as your passion-and then find a place where both intersect (交叉). It may be easier to find a day job you can tolerate. But the only way to find something that works for you is to get involved with different groups and to explore different purposes you care about. You don’t need an all-consuming cause, but you do need something you care enough about to give up sleeping in on the weekends. Only then will you really be capable of pursuing your passion, and your purpose along with it.
42. Who do you think the passage is written for
A. Writers. B. Job hunters. C. Managers. D. Career planners.
43. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with
A. People can work with passion if they earn a lot of money.
B. People work well only on sunny days or when they are well.
C. People need to find as many jobs as possible to discover their interest.
D. People work hard even though they are not passionate about something.
44. What’s the author’s attitude toward his job
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Determined. D. Challenged.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The difference between passion and purpose and how it affects your job search.
B. The importance of passion and how it gets you through when facing problems.
C. The relationship between passion and purpose and how it improves your lifeD. The importance of purpose and how it helps you keep a job.

III. 阅读表达(共4 小题; 每小题2 分, 共8 分)
阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
I have a special rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Sometimes I get lost, but I usually don’t mind. I can practice a new language, meet new people, and learn new customs. And I find out about different “styles” of giving directions every time I ask, “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns, or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for instance, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance in Los Angeles in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it ” They don’t know.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere—in Japan the United States, Greece, Mexico, or any other place. You might not understand a person’s words, but you can probably understand the person’s body language: He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office.

【答案】Dear Jim,
How is everything going I have known that you have questions about working out, so I am writing to give you some suggestions.
I would suggest you taking part in running, which has a lot of benefits. First, running is a great sport for beginners like you. You do not need a gym membership or any special equipment. Just a pair of good running shoes will do. Second, you can adjust your running time and distance easily according to your feeling. But I advise you to go running for 2 times a week and 30 minutes for each, which is good enough for you to lose weight.
I hope my suggestions can help you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear Jim,
I hope you’re feeling better after your recent health check-up. As someone who maintains good health and has excelled in physical fitness tests, I’d like to share my recommendations.
Firstly, I suggest including regular swimming in your routine. Because it’s a full-body workout that’s gentle on your joints and promotes cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and flexibility. Swimming is also low-impact, making it ideal for beginners. Plus, it’s a relaxing activity that can help reduce stress. To see results, aim for at least 30 minutes of swimming, three to four times a week. Remember, consistency is key.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Take care and best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
