Names are what set expectations and provide first impressions of the camp, so they must
11、 be attractive! After all, camp names indicate community and togetherness.Fun & Playful NamesIf your camp does not have a specific theme or many activities take place there, consider a fun and playful name. These names bring a joyful feeling when you hear or read them, which will have a positive eff
12、ect on your camps reputation.Lively& Nature-Inspired Summer Camp NamesNature is a core component of summer camp, so it only makes sense that youd consider nature-inspired names full of life and energy. These names should produce a sense of earthy and colorful fun.Activity-Centric Summer Camp NamesAc
13、tivity-centric name ideas are perfect for camps that are known for certain fun events, such as water skiing or mountain biking. These events dont have to be related to the outdoors, but they may be well-loved by the campers and their families! Other activities such as art, theater, performance, and
14、magic may all be worked into your potential title.Localization & Heritage in Camp NamesLocalization and heritage are all about forming a connection to a certain geographic area, culture, or community. These names should reflect certain traditions or histories relating to the location of the camp. Ov

17、A sense of achievement.BIn June 1985, two British mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates made the first-ever climb of the West Face of the 21,000 foot snow-covered Siula Grande mountain in Peru. It was exceptionally tough but nothing compared to what was to come. Early in the descent (斜坡), Simpson
18、 fell and broke his right knee. Yates could have abandoned him but managed to find a way of lowering him down the mountain in a series of difficult drops blinded by snow and cold. Then Simpson fell into a crevasse (冰隙) and Yates eventually had no choice but to cut the rope, utterly convinced that hi
19、s friend was now dead.In his subsequent book on the climb entitled “Touching The Void”, Joe Simpson wrote: “As I gazed at the distant moraines (冰碛石), I knew that I must at least try. I would probably die out there amid those rocks. The thought didnt alarm me. It seemed reasonable, matter-of-fact. Th
20、at was how it was. I could aim for something. If I died, well, that wasnt so surprising, but I wouldnt have just waited for it to happen. The horror of dying no longer affected me as it had in the crevasse. I now had the chance to confront it and struggle against it. My leg would hurt when I fell an
21、d when I couldnt get up I would die.”The survival of Simpson himself was extraordinary. That somehow found a way of climbing out of the crevasse after 12 hours and then dragged himself six miles back to camp, going three days and nights without food or drink, would be the stuff of heroic fiction if
22、it was not so true. Indeed, six operations and two years later, he was even back climbing. All because, against all the odds, he tried.4. What happened to Simpson?A. He went blind in the accident.B. He was hurt for lack of the rope.C. He had his knee injured in the descent.D. He was deserted into a

The good seaman is known in bad weather.D. Good company on the road is the shortest cut.CArtificial intelligence has taken the world by storm ov
25、er the course of the last few years. Some people love it, some people fear it, but theres no question that its here to stay, and in some cases, help in unexpected ways.One of those ways is being piloted in Kingston, in an effort to make the planning and proposal stage of road-building smoother. Soft
26、ware company RedBit Development, road safety construction group RSG International, and a Queens University student organization called QMIND, are working together on the project.“Weve decided to do this partnership with all three of us to see if we can do something new in the construction industry,”
27、 says Mark Arteaga, president and founder of RedBit Development. Theyre working on an AI-based assistant to help engineers, architects and contractors prepare proposals for road infrastructure (基础建设) and similar projects. “The AI kind of has all of the information and all the data,” says Arteaga. “I
28、t knows which bid or proposal it needs to do or what its working on, and then the person putting together the proposal will ask it questions.”For the students, its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get hands-on experience with real world companies, using the tech of the future. “Until very recentl
29、y, there was a very high barrier of entry to really get your hands on applied AI, especially when its going to be implemented in the real world,” says Marcelo Chaman Mallqui, managing director of operations for QMIND. “Being able to be at QMIND provides these opportunities for all of the members.”Th
30、e partnership is still in the early stages, what theyre calling the “discovery” stage, which involves heavy research and data collection to help make the AI assistant as efficient and correct as possible. As for the future of this project, Chaman Mallqui says hes excited to see this project through
31、and pass down the knowledge to current and future QMIND members. “Its kind of learning and living through each other,” he says. “Youre able to experience multiple lifetimes before you finish your own.”8. Why is the project being carried out?A. To help promote Artificial Intelligence.B. To ensure the
32、 safety of road construction.C. To assist in preparing proposals for road-building.D To enhance cooperation in the construction industry.9. How does the project benefit the students at QMIND?A. It offers them employment in real-world companies.B. It provides them with real-world experiences of AI te
33、ch.C. It teaches them how to apply AI tech to school education.D. It offers them a chance to learn from an AI-based assistant.10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The future of QMIND looks uncertain.B. The partnership still has a long way to go.C. The AI assistant is efficient at doin
34、g heavy research.D. The project helps its members establish life-long friendship.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Queens University students help cutting edge AI projectB. Artificial intelligence has become a hit again in CanadaC. Partnership of AI companies brings about
35、a new discoveryD. AI-based assistant makes the process of road construction easierDWere it not for my masks rubber covering over my nose, no doubt his warm, fishy breath would have made the experience complete, as an adult male Atlantic grey seal (海豹) inspected me to the waters that bathe Cornwall a
36、nd the Isles of Scilly. This was a close and magical swimming-with-seals encounter filmed for BBC Twos Springwatch four years ago.My job is to get people to love and connect with nature, but the experience still left me feeling both excited and conflicted. Is it possible that we get a little too clo
37、se, and love nature a little too much? Certainly, for anyone working in wildlife media and tourism, the reality is that habitats and many species often cant handle longtime close contact with humans.Marine mammals they may be, but seals must regularly return to dry land, hauling (牵引) themselves out
38、of the water to rest, digest, and reproduce. Haul-out sites are typically inaccessible beaches or rocky tiny islands after the tide falls away. These safe places become a terrifying drop when disturbed, particularly by walkers, dogs and boats full of wildlife tourists. When frightened, seals prefer
39、escaping into shallow seas or, worse still, hard rocks, risking broken jaws or bones.In Scotland in February 2021, a ban came into force that stopped the fisheries industry from shooting seals. Prior to this, seals in Scotland could be shot under licence. Seal groups and charities are revising their
40、 policies to no longer encourage people to seek out encounters with seals either in or out of the water, especially during the winter months when the grey seal pupping (产崽) season is in full swing.No matter how much we love seals, remember they are terrified of us, so we really need to enjoy them fr
41、om a distance. But that is not to say there cant be a connection. Joining organised surveys helps monitor seals as well as the health of our waters. The marine mammals have much to deal with, including climate change, and we have a lot to learn from these envoys (使者) from the sea.12. Why did the aut
42、hor film swimming-with-seals encounter four years ago?A. To get people close to nature.B. To inspect an Atlantic grey seal.C. To challenge himself in the waters.D. To promote BBC Twos TV programme.13. What is the authors attitude to the swimming-with-seals experience?A Contradictory.B. Tolerant.C. U
43、ncertain.D. Supportive.14. What is the authors purpose of writing paragraph 3?A. To define the haul-out sites of seals.B. To introduce the living habit of seals.C. To prove humans disturbance to seals.D. To present the safety problem facing seals.15. What does the author suggest doing?A. Stopping sh
44、ooting seals completely.B. Leaving seals alone especially in winter.C. Reducing the influence of climate change on seals.D. Connecting with seals indirectly by protecting them.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to increase your reading speedIn a world overflowing
