Before her first summit on July 10, Brittney Woodrum had never climbed one of Colorado’s fourteeners—the 58 mountain peaks in Colorado with an altitude of 14,000 feet of higher. But, less than 80 days later, the University of Denver graduate student would reach the top of all 58 peaks as part of her “Fourteeners Project” to raise money for ShelterBox, a global aid organization. “I had never done a fourteener before this project, but I felt confident I could do it,” Woodrum said. Woodrum is working toward a degree in humanitarian assistance at University of Denver after studying nonprofit administration and Spanish at the University of Kentucky. Upon moving to Denver, she immediately set out to find a way to give back and wanted to combine it with her love of the outdoors. ShelterBox was the first to reach out to Woodrum. Noted for its big, green box, which it sends out to those across the globe in crisis, its ambassadors have a reputation for going on great adventures with the box to raise awareness for its mission. Woodrum decided to cope with the fourteeners all while carrying one of these boxes, hoping to raise $ 1,400 per mountain, or a little more than $80,000. Capitol Peak, located not far from the Snowmass Ski Area, is arguably one of the state’s deadliest fourteener. That reputation had Woodrum a bit concerned. Not to mention, the day she began her hike toward Capitol happened to be the same day the Grizzly Creek Fire broke out near Glenwood Springs, making for one of the most unique nights of her project. “I was really scared to do it,” she said. After reaching the top of her final peak-Crestone Needle in the Sangre de Cristo Range-or Sept: 26, Woodrum said she had raised about $85, 000 for ShelterBox’s COVID-19 emergency relief fund. 【1】How did Woodrum feel about her new adventure before the project? A.Astonished. B.Confident. C.Grateful. D.Doubtful. 【2】What can we learn about ShelterBox? A.It is able to deal with the global crisis. B.It often sets a tight schedule for its ambassadors. C.It is an international disaster relief organization. D.It requires its ambassadors to donate green boxes. 【3】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4? A.To introduce a new site to readers. B.To add the background knowledge. C.To emphasize Woodrum’s achievements. D.To present the pleasure of the project 【4】What can be the best title of the text? A.Brittney Woodrum, Climbing for a Cause. B.Climbing Is Inspiring for Every Mountaineer. C.Denver Graduate Student Became an Ambassadress. D.ShelterBox USA, Raise Money for Families in Need. |

Today’s young people frequently deal with multiple streams of information and entertainment media while doing schoolwork, a trend that researchers call distracted learning. While numerous researchers found that simultaneous (同时的) use of electronic devices has a harmful impact on learning, a researcher, professor Shelly J. Schmidt of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign said many students dismiss warnings about the negative consequences because they consider themselves such good multitaskers. While the faculty (全体教员) restrict or ban students’ unapproved use of cellphones and other devices in the classroom, these policies can be difficult for instructors to enforce and cast technology as “the enemy”. “Banning technology use in the classroom suggests to our students that they are children who can’t learn to appropriately handle it, rather than young adults we are helping to grow into professionals,” Schmidt said. While it’s virtually impossible to make students limit all distractions in class or out, Schmidt said teachers and parents can encourage youths to develop an internal locus of control (内控点). Researchers found that media multitasking during schoolwork disturbs students’ attention and working memory. Students may understand less and have difficulty recalling what they have learned and applying it in new contexts. Their reading comprehension, note-taking ability, test performance and grade point averages all decrease, according to the studies Schmidt reviewed. Some researchers suggest that mobile devices can worsen a form of social anxiety called the “fear of missing out” that forces people to interrupt their studies and work projects constantly to read and respond to social media posts and messages, negatively affecting their performance. When working on the projects that require lasting concentration, Schmidt said intentionally removing irrelevant devices from their workspaces can help people limit distractions and resist the urge to respond to every buzz or ping sent by their phone. 【1】What does Schmidt find in the recent research? A.Students are good at multitasking while studying. B.Students are not affected by the use of electronic media. C.Students attach great importance to using electronic media. D.Students don’t care about the expert opinion on distracted learning. 【2】What does Schmidt think of the restrictions on electrics in class? A.They bring in better learning conditions. B.They produce inequality among students. C.They may make students doubt their self-control. D.They disturb the friendly learning atmosphere in the school. 【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A.The negative effects of distracted learning. B.How can students fight with distracted learning? C.Why some students perform badly in learning. D.The role the brain plays in learning. 【4】What can be inferred about “fear of missing out” in the last paragraph? A.It is caused by social media use. B.It requires long-term focus on media. C.It makes many people suffering stress. D.It can be overcome by powering off phones. |

Every year, companies like GoPro manage to pack more and more functions into smaller and smaller action cameras that are less noticeable to wear. But a team of researchers from the University of Washington have managed to build a live-streaming wireless camera that’s so small that even an insect can wear it. It’s not quite small and light enough to be held to a fly, but at around 250 milligrams, the camera was successfully carried by a beetle. Although the camera inside a modern smartphone is certainly tiny, it’s too large and heavy for an insect to carry once the batteries are added. Capturing millions of pixels（像素）with every shot requires a lot of image processing, which in turn requires a lot of power. Taking an alternate route, the researchers copied nature’s approach to how flies see the world. Their large compound eyes can not only detect motion across a wide field of view（it’s why they’re so difficult to hit）but also feature a small, high-resolution（分辨率）region that can focus on their targets, which helps reduce the load on their tiny brains. Given its size and low-power approach, the camera’s streaming abilities are similarly limited, with a Bluetooth connection that maxes out at a distance of roughly 120 meters, requiring a remote operator to be fairly close to the camera at all times. However, battery life is surprisingly decent. The camera can run for up to two hours, but to extend that, the researchers included an accelerometer so that it’s only capturing and broadcasting images whenever the beetle is moving That can increase the camera’s battery life to over six hours. The researchers acknowledge that their design certainly raises some privacy concerns, given how easy it is for insects to find their way into your home. But the camera could provide entomologists（昆虫学者）with new insights into how insects cross their environment, respond to threats in the wild, and even provide a closer look at their social structures. 【1】What is the feature of the new camera? A.It’s small-size and low-weight. B.It takes much clearer pictures. C.It can perform tasks in the open air. D.It protects beetles from their enemies. 【2】What do the researchers learn from flies for the new camera? A.How to enlarge its vision. B.How to capture the target. C.How to save power of its battery. D.How to make sharp turns during flying. 【3】What can best replace the underlined word “decent” in Paragraph 3? A.casual B.adequate C.beneficial D.unsatisfactory 【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the design of the new camera? A.Critical. B.Doubtful. C.Favorable. D.Objective. |

Exercising When Sick: A Good Move? You have been so great about your new exercise routine, rarely missing a day since you started up again. 【1】 . What should you do? Should you skip the running machine or forsake that yoga class for a late afternoon nap? Will it be hard to get started again if you skip a day or two? 【2】 . Let’s follow what experts tell WebMD. “Fever is the limiting factor,” says Lewis G. Maharam, MD, a New York city-based sports medicine expert. “ 【3】 , because that can make you even sicker,” he says. “Do what you can do, and if you can’t do it, then don’t.” Most people who are fit tend to feel worse if they stop their exercise, but if you have got a bad case of the flu and can’t lift your head off the pillow, 【4】 . Personal trainer and exercise physiotherapist Geralyn Coopersmith said, “The general rule is that if it is just a little sniffle and you take some medications and don’t feel so sick, it’s OK to work out. But if you have any chest tightness, it’s not advisable to work out.” 【5】 . “If you are feeling kind of bad, you may want to consider a walk instead of a run. Take the intensity down or do a regenerative activity like yoga because if you don’t feel great, it may not be the best day to do your races,” says Coopersmith, the author of Fit and Female. A.You really need to know your limits B.Then all of a sudden you catch a cold or flu C.Many experts use the “above the neck” rule D.The answer depends on what makes you sick E.a speedy recovery is always the goal when you are sick F.chances are that you won’t want to go run around the block G.The danger is that exercising can raise your body temperature |
