Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you?
If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach.
1. Who are the intended readers?
A. Red-blooded males B. White-collar staff
C. Blue-blooded tourists D. Green-hand campers
2. What can you learn from the passage?
A Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply.
B Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature.
C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment.
D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking.
3. In which column will you find this passage?
A. Feature B. Style C. Travel D. Entertainment
B
I settled into my seat on a plane to Cuba feeling frustrated. When I planned the trip, I had assumed that my Cuban partner and I would go to the field directly to collect water samples from rivers. That’s how I’d done fieldwork in Namibia and Bolivia. But not in Cuba, it seemed. Five days earlier, a Cuban scientist had emailed to inform me that we would only be meeting to talk about our planned project. Sampling would happen during a later trip.
At the airport, one of my partners greeted me. We drove to the research center where he worked, and then toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, students and even the cook. I was impressed that I was introduced to each person. The lack of hierarchy (等级制度) was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia (学术界).
The next day, we met again to brainstorm. Together, we looked at maps to plan how we were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that the map I had left out some new reservoirs (水库) Local involvement and knowledge were key — making me wonder what I’d missed working without such a team in other places.
Six months later, I flew back to Cuba and this time, we headed to the field. I was impressed again by the lengths to which my Cuban partners went to ensure that all team members were treated equally. We drove around Cuba in bright yellow minibuses, and each minibus had a mix of members at all seniority levels. In the field, all members sweated together.
On the last night of the trip we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table. When a restaurant couldn’t accommodate the team without separating us, my partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table.
In 26 years as a professor, I have never been a fan of academia’s hierarchy. I want everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true teamwork makes for better science.
4. Why did the author feel frustrated in paragraph 1?
A. He was asked to host a meeting in Cuba.
B. He was told to change his planned project.
C. He couldn’t do his work in his usual way in Cuba.
D. He spent a long time waiting for his plane to Cuba.
5. What was wrong with the author’s map?
A. It was torn up. B. It was outdated.
C. It was too old to read. D. It was about another water area.
6. What can prove that the Cuban team didn’t have hierarchy?
A. They drove minibuses to the field. B. They were friendly to the author.
C. They worked in different groups. D. They had dinner at one table.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A A fruitful trip in Cuba B. Impressed by a Cuban team
C. Respect seniors in the team. D. You’ll never know until you try
C
“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior.
8. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning?
A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals.
9. What is special about pigs’ fights?
A. They aim to show power. B. They have audiences.
C. They last a little bit longer. D. They happen more often.
10. What does the underlined word “reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Caught up. B. Kept in touch. C. Made up. D. Changed in tune.
11. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence?
A. Offering comfort to victim pigs. B. Forming special bonds with strangers.
C. Sticking to their behavior. D. Caring for others with selfless devotion.
D
In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year.
A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110 degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.
Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat.
The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
12. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to our hearts.
B. Burning fossil fuels contributes to the hottest-ever June and July.
C. El Nino is the dominant cause of soaring global temperature.
D. The temperature at night has reached a record high in Phoenix, Arizona.
13. What is a heat dome according to the passage?
A. It’s a weather phenomenon that contributes to high temperatures.
B. It’s a peak that the low pressure should reach.
C. It’s the damage caused by too much exposure to heat.
D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air.
14. According to the passage, what’s the influence high overnight temperature has on humans?
A. It is the top one killer in America. B. Exposure to heat contributes to heart diseases.
C. Human organs might be impaired. D. People accommodate to 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night.
15. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A. Soaring temperatures are hitting the headlines. B. Anew eye popping overnight low record is set.
C. Hot overnight temperatures threaten human health. D. Global heat waves are causing concerns.

If you look at a carpenter, they have a toolbox; a dentist, they have their drills. In our era and the type of work most of us are doing, we also have our tool. The tool we most need is centered around being able to give and receive feedback well. However, a recent Gallup survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is brain-friendly and useful to their work. Those numbers are pretty depressing. ______16______
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. ______17______. You can ask “I have some ideas for how we can improve things. Can I share them with you?” This micro-yes question can serve as a pacing tool. It lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.
Give data point.
______18______. Instead of saying, “You aren’t reliable,” you are supposed to say, “You said you’d get that email to me by 11 a.m, and I still don’t have it yet 4 p.m.” The reason for that is that you want to be able to specify exactly what you want the other person to increase or diminish.
State the impact.
______19______. For example, you might say, “Because I didn’t get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn’t move forward” or “I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster.” It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers incline to ask something like, “Well, how do you see it?” Or “This is what I’m thinking we should do, but what are your thoughts on it?”. ______20______. Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation. Now that you know this four-part approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
A. Name exactly the difference data point makes to you.
B. Four methods can be employed to make your feedback brain-friendly.
C. It lets the brain know that feedback is actually coming.
D. Make the conversation no longer a monologue (独白).
E. There’s a mistaken tendency that we use vague, or not specific words
F. Here comes a four part approach that you can adopt to say any difficult message well.
G. It creates a moment of buy-in for the speaker.

The year 2013 marked a turning point in my life. In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter (广告文字撰写人), I, without any hesitation, made the decision to relocate with him.
While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant me the same privilege. But that’s okay. I didn’t know what to do anyway. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was a bungalow near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly.
It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my lite finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shuddering, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I scooped him up and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels, mimicking a nest, and stayed up all night researching how to care for him.
The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now boldly pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Tenderly stroking his feathers, I chirped a lullaby, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes drooped and he drifted off. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother.
Para 1. “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. At that moment I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch’s care, something within me changed.

【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了针对于露营新手的几种露营方式和建议。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.(这篇文章是写给露营新手的，这些人从年轻时就没有在星空下睡过觉，也没有搭过帐篷，但他们正在认真考虑在野外过夜)”可推知，这篇文章的目标读者应该是新手露营者。故选D项。
【2题详解】

I settled into my seat on a plane to Cuba feeling frustrated. When I planned the trip, I had assumed that my Cuban partner and I would go to the field directly to collect water samples from rivers. That’s how I’d done fieldwork in Namibia and Bolivia. But not in Cuba, it seemed. Five days earlier, a Cuban scientist had emailed to inform me that we would only be meeting to talk about our planned project. Sampling would happen during a later trip.
At the airport, one of my partners greeted me. We drove to the research center where he worked, and then toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, students and even the cook. I was impressed that I was introduced to each person. The lack of hierarchy (等级制度) was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia (学术界).
The next day, we met again to brainstorm. Together, we looked at maps to plan how we were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that the map I had left out some new reservoirs (水库) Local involvement and knowledge were key — making me wonder what I’d missed working without such a team in other places.
Six months later, I flew back to Cuba and this time, we headed to the field. I was impressed again by the lengths to which my Cuban partners went to ensure that all team members were treated equally. We drove around Cuba in bright yellow minibuses, and each minibus had a mix of members at all seniority levels. In the field, all members sweated together.
On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table. When a restaurant couldn’t accommodate the team without separating us, my partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table.
In 26 years as a professor, I have never been a fan of academia’s hierarchy. I want everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true teamwork makes for better science.
4. Why did the author feel frustrated in paragraph 1?
A. He was asked to host a meeting in Cuba.
B. He was told to change his planned project.
C. He couldn’t do his work in his usual way in Cuba.
D. He spent a long time waiting for his plane to Cuba.
5. What was wrong with the author’s map?
A. It was torn up. B. It was outdated.
C. It was too old to read. D. It was about another water area.
6. What can prove that the Cuban team didn’t have hierarchy?
A. They drove minibuses to the field. B. They were friendly to the author.
C. They worked in different groups. D. They had dinner at one table.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I settled into my seat on a plane to Cuba feeling frustrated. When I planned the trip, I had assumed that my Cuban partner and I would go to the field directly to collect water samples from rivers. That’s how I’d done fieldwork in Namibia and Bolivia. But not in Cuba, it seemed. Five days earlier, a Cuban scientist had emailed to inform me that we would only be meeting to talk about our planned project. Sampling would happen during a later trip.”（在飞往古巴的飞机上，我坐在座位上，感到沮丧。当我计划这次旅行时，我以为我的古巴伙伴和我将直接去实地从河流中采集水样。我就是这样在纳米比亚和玻利维亚进行田野调查的。但在古巴似乎不是这样。五天前，一位古巴科学家发电子邮件通知我，我们见面只是为了讨论我们计划中的项目。采样将在以后的旅行中进行。）可知，作者感到沮丧是因为他不能在古巴以他通常的方式工作。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that the map I had left out some new reservoirs (水库) Local involvement and knowledge were key — making me wonder what I’d missed working without such a team in other places.”（如果不是古巴人，我可能不会意识到我在地图上漏掉了一些新的水库。当地的参与和知识是关键——这让我想，在没有这样一个团队的情况下，我在其他地方会错过什么。）可知，作者在地图上漏掉了一些新的水库，由此可推知，作者的地图过时了。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table. When a restaurant couldn’t accommodate the team without separating us, my partners insisted that we move on and find a place with a large enough table.”（在旅行的最后一晚，我们找了一家能让我们14个人坐在一张桌子上的餐馆。当一家餐厅无法容纳我们的团队时，我的合作伙伴坚持要我们离开，找一个有足够大的桌子的地方。）可推知，他们在一张桌子上吃饭能证明古巴没有等级制度。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及“I was impressed that I was introduced to each person. The lack of hierarchy (等级制度) was unlike anything I had experienced before in academia (学术界).”（我被介绍给每个人，这让我印象深刻。没有等级制度是我在学术界从未经历过的。）和最后一段“In 26 years as a professor, I have never been a fan of academia’s hierarchy. I want everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true teamwork makes for better science.”（在26年的教授生涯中，我从来不喜欢学术界的等级制度。我希望每个和我一起工作的人都觉得他们是团队的一部分。但我的古巴伙伴将团队合作提升到了另一个高度。他们清楚地表明，所有的团队成员都受到重视，每个人都是平等的，真正的团队合作有助于更好的科学。）可知，文章主要讲的是作者去古巴的两次工作经历让他印象深刻。故文章最适合的标题是“古巴团队给我留下了深刻的印象”。故选B项。

“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm. Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts end in seconds, but some last a minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, the fighters reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the development of behavior.
8. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning?
A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals.
9. What is special about pigs’ fights?
A. They aim to show power. B. They have audiences.
C. They last a little bit longer. D. They happen more often.
10. What does the underlined word “reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Caught up. B. Kept in touch. C. Made up. D. Changed in tune.
11. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence?
A. Offering comfort to victim pigs. B. Forming special bonds with strangers.
C. Sticking to their behavior. D. Caring for others with selfless devotion.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了猪打架后如何和解，这证实了猪是非常聪明的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear.”（据说温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经说过：“我喜欢猪。”“狗尊敬我们。猫看不起我们。猪对我们是平等的。”与丘吉尔同时代的乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)是否也喜欢猪就不那么清楚了。）并联系下文对猪的探讨可推知，作者一开始就提到丘吉尔和奥威尔是为了引出本文要探讨的话题。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist, observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.”（大多数动物的争斗都是这样的。然而，生物学家Norscia博士观察到，在猪之间的许多冲突中，除了打架者之外，还有其他利益相关方。因此，他想了解这些旁观者在解决冲突中的作用，以及这对猪的认知能力有何影响。）可知，猪打架的特别之处是它们会有旁观者。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly relations rapidly is less necessary for them.”（打架者的亲缘关系越远，这种情况发生的频率就越高。Norscia博士猜测，近亲之间的关系一开始就更安全，因此迅速重建友好关系对他们来说就不那么必要了。）可推知，此处为Norscia博士发现，打架者会自行和解。故可猜测划线单词reconciled为“和解”的意思，结合选项C项Made up“和解，和好”意思一致。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.”（然而，在其他情况下，第三只猪会介入。有时，这个旁观者与攻击者互动，这减少了随后的攻击次数。有时，旁观者会与受害者互动。这似乎使受害者平静下来，因为它减少了与焦虑相关的行为。）可知，旁观者在解决冲突中起到了一定作用，安慰受害者，与攻击者互动，这反反映了猪的社会智能。故选A项。
D
In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death.
The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year.
A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110 degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures.
Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat.
The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart disease.
12. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to our hearts.
B. Burning fossil fuels contributes to the hottest-ever June and July.
C. El Nino is the dominant cause of soaring global temperature.
D. The temperature at night has reached a record high in Phoenix, Arizona.
13. What is a heat dome according to the passage?
A. It’s a weather phenomenon that contributes to high temperatures.
B. It’s a peak that the low pressure should reach.
C. It’s the damage caused by too much exposure to heat.
D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air.
14. According to the passage, what’s the influence high overnight temperature has on humans?
A. It is the top one killer in America. B. Exposure to heat contributes to heart diseases.
C. Human organs might be impaired. D. People accommodate to 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night.
15. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A. Soaring temperatures are hitting the headlines. B. Anew eye popping overnight low record is set.
C. Hot overnight temperatures threaten human health. D. Global heat waves are causing concerns.

If you look at a carpenter, they have a toolbox; a dentist, they have their drills. In our era and the type of work most of us are doing, we also have our tool. The tool we most need is centered around being able to give and receive feedback well. However, a recent Gallup survey found that only 26 percent of subjects strongly agree that the feedback they get is brain-friendly and useful to their work. Those numbers are pretty depressing. ______16______
Ask micro-yes questions.
Propose your feedback by asking a question that is short but important. ______17______. You can ask “I have some ideas for how we can improve things. Can I share them with you?” This micro-yes question can serve as a pacing tool. It lets the other person know that feedback is about to be given.
Give data point.
______18______. Instead of saying, “You aren’t reliable,” you are supposed to say, “You said you’d get that email to me by 11 a.m, and I still don’t have it yet 4 p.m.” The reason for that is that you want to be able to specify exactly what you want the other person to increase or diminish.
State the impact.
______19______. For example, you might say, “Because I didn’t get the message, I was blocked on my work and couldn’t move forward” or “I really liked how you added those stories, because it helped me grasp the concepts faster.” It gives others a sense of purpose and meaning and logic between the points.
Wrap the feedback with a question.
Great feedback givers incline to ask something like, “Well, how do you see it?” Or “This is what I’m thinking we should do, but what are your thoughts on it?”. ______20______. Instead, try to make it a joint problem-solving situation. Now that you know this four-part approach, you can mix and match it to make it work for any difficult conversation.
A. Name exactly the difference data point makes to you.
B. Four methods can be employed to make your feedback brain-friendly.
C. It lets the brain know that feedback is actually coming.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The year 2013 marked a turning point in my life. In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter (广告文字撰写人), I, without any hesitation, made the decision to relocate with him.
While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant me the same privilege. But that’s okay. I didn’t know what to do anyway. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was a bungalow near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly.
It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my lite finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shuddering, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I scooped him up and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels, mimicking a nest, and stayed up all night researching how to care for him.
The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now boldly pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Tenderly stroking his feathers, I chirped a lullaby, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes drooped and he drifted off. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother.
Para 1. “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2. At that moment I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch’s care, something within me changed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. The bond between us grew stronger with each passing day. I named him Sunny, as his bright yellow feathers brought a ray of sunshine into my life. Sunny became my constant companion, and I poured all my love and attention into nurturing him back to health. I researched tirelessly, learning about finch behavior, diet, and habitat. Every moment spent with Sunny was a precious gift, and I found purpose in providing him with the care and love he needed.
At that moment, I realized that as I dedicated myself to the finch's care, something within me changed. I discovered a newfound sense of fulfillment and purpose that had been missing from my life for so long. As I watched him grow stronger, his broken wing healing, I felt a renewed sense of hope and joy. The experience of nursing Sunny back to health inspired within me a desire to make a difference in the lives of animals and share their stories through my photography.
