8、nroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to si

9、de, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most bas

10、ic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But its also the most important to communities faced with

11、coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. Thats why Monroe and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to p

12、repare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most re

13、cent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking its real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the programs developers. The goal,

14、” he says, is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them.”4Who is Monroe?AAn architect.BA climate researcher.CA VR program developer.DA coastal community citizen.5What does the underlined word vexing

The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort,

17、 optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our heart

18、s, minds and souls. Actually, thats your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept wha

19、t you really feel youd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of

20、 jealousy and insecurity about yourself.You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized f

21、or what you have done is enough to create conditions on your attention. Think about it!Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you

22、take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radia

26、 intentions and thoughts in our mindDwarn us about the bad effects of negative attitudesMost new runners assume that the best way to improve is simply to run greater and greater distances. While its true that going farther and faster will improve your running skills, most coaches and trainers will a

27、dvise some level of strength training as well. Focusing on your core is a common suggestion. A recent study seems to back this up. In the Journal of Biomechanics, researchers investigated a symptom that has long confused runners from beginners to experienced ones. A good number of runners, 14 percen

28、t to be exact, experience gradual lower back pain. The results of the new study seem to suggest that weak deep core muscles might be to blame. When these muscles arent strong enough, the study found, muscles on other areas of the body kick in to keep the runner up-right, eventually leading to back p

29、ain.To understand the role that these muscles play, the researchers had eight volunteers with minimal running experience run along an indoor track. High-speed cameras and 3D motion detectors analyzed which muscles moved, and how much. Once they created a working computer model for each runner, the s

30、cientists imitated what would happen if certain deep muscles were weaker, or shut off completely. As it turns out, when a person cant use their deep core muscles very well, their bodies still want (and need) to maintain a good running form, and uses surface muscles to do so.Whats wrong with that? A

31、muscle is a muscle, right? Not exactly. While the surface muscles are often targeted in workouts - they give you a six-pack (六块腹肌), after all - they are pretty useless when it comes to supporting your spine (脊柱). The deeper core muscles, which essentially lie beneath and cant be seen from the outsid

32、e, do all the heavy spinal lifting.Its important to note that even when youve made these muscles super strong, you wont likely notice visible results. But they will probably help you run better and definitely help prevent potential back pain. Perhaps throwing a nice long plank (平板支撑) may work.12Why

33、do most new runners want to run farther and faster?ABecause they think it can improve running skills.BBecause some coaches and trainers advise them to do so.CBecause a recent study proves it to be helpful.DBecause its a kind of useful strength training.13What does the new study show us when people d

34、o the running?A14 percent of the runners have weak muscles.BThe muscles on other areas lead to back pain.CStrong deep core muscles can prevent back pain.DThe beginning runners usually have weak core muscles.14What happens when people do the running?AA working computer model can be created.BCertain d

35、eep muscles become weaker.CThey use both deep and surface muscles.DDeep core muscles probably function first.15What can we infer from the text?ADoing a long plank can benefit the runners.BThe spine is supported by the deep muscles.CTraining the six-pack is useless.DSuper strong muscles cant be seen.

36、二、七选五There is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as medical condition. _16_Stop thinking that you have a “bad memory”. Convince yourself that you do a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here

37、and convince themselves their memory is bad, that they are just no good with names and that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. _17_Use association to remember facts. _18_ For example, if you have a hard time remembering that JFK was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasi

You can stimulate (刺激) more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information. _19_ For example, the process of writing information by hand stimul

41、ember a word or an image.FThis concrete image in your mind will help you link the president with this event.GWhen a larger part of your brain is active, your ability to arouse your memory will increase.三、完形填空Its often said that you can judge a person by looking at whats on their bookshelves. Well, w

42、hen I asked myself this question a few years ago, I made a(n) _21_ discovery. Pretty much all the _22_ on my bookshelves were written by British authors, and there was almost nothing in translation from other _23_. What a shame! So, I decided to begin my _24_ reading project.But how could I find boo

43、ks from much of the rest of the world? I had to ask for _25_. So in October 2011, I started my blog, and I _26_ a short appeal (呼吁) online. Within hours, people began to _27_. At first, it was friends and colleagues. Then it was friends of friends. And soon, it was _28_.Four days later, I got a(n) _

I _31_ accepted, and a few weeks later, a package _32_ containing nothing but two books Rafidahs choice from Mal

45、aysia, and a book from Singapore that she had also _33_ for me. At the time, I was _34_ that a stranger more than 6,000 miles away would go to such lengths to help someone she would probably never _35_.But Rafidahs kindness _36_ to be the pattern for that year. Time and again, people went out of the

46、ir _37_ to help me. And books often came from _38_ sources. A writer even emailed me an unpublished translation of his novel to me, allowing me to become one of the _39_ people ever to read that book in English.That year, thanks to kind strangers from the four _40_ of the world. I read books from ov
