Best Places to Visit in July

Norway's Fjords

Most travelers prefer to visit Norway*s famous fjords （峡湾）in July because Norway has about 23 hours of daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is also when Norway's weather is at its warmest, about 18°CS so travelers might include a light sweater in their luggage.

Bastille Day in Paris

July 14 is a national day celebrating independence to the French. July 14, 1789, is the day the French stormed the Bastille, a Paris prison, and officially began the French Revolution, overthrowing a royal government that often threw people in prison there for no reason at all. While the day is marked all over France, the biggest celebration takes place in Paris.

Masai Mara National Reserve

The thrill of seeing millions of animals wander the plains in Kenya is not easily forgotten. One of the most popular months to visit the Masai Mara is in July when the famous wildlife migration reaches the Masai Mara and zebras are at their highest number. The best times to view the animals in Kenya's most popular game park are dawn and dusk.

Running of the Bulls in Pamplona

Travelers who pride themselves on being fast runners may want to head to Pamplona in July for the San Femin Festival. A key part of this annual festival is the running of the bulls. Six bulls are released onto a narrow street for a half-mile run, with hundreds of runners seeing if they can run faster than the animals.

Joshua Nelson, 18, from Missouri, is graduating from St. Charles West High School this week and will be attending Southeast Missouri State in the fall. He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's Presidenfs Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need.

"It comes from my family education and faith/5 Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver and having an open hand when it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me."

SEMO's Presidenfs Scholarship is the schoofs most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelson said he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor （顾 问）,Yolanda Curry, to work out a game plan.

“I wasn't expecting it at all!" Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited?5

Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000.

“Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people/5 Curry said. "He's an encourager ~ he's good at building others up and does what he can to help encourage and motivate those around him.,,

California^ August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer, burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.

A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could mfbrm these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can "show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene （干预）if we want to maintain forests/5 says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.

To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with infomation on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity. They also included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216 locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.

The toofs potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at the University of Montana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.

28.    What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?

A. Lack of wood supplies. B. Where to plant new trees best.

C. How to save the burned trees. D. Loss of trees and wild animals.

29.    Whafs the main idea of paragraph 2?

1.    The function of the tool.
2.     The disadvantages of the tool.
3.     The improvement of the tool.
4.    The development of the tool.

30.    What does the underlined word "They" refer to?

A. The study plots. B. The data.

C. Stewart and his colleagues. D. The seeds.

31.    What is Davis5 attitude towards the tool?

B. Ambiguous.

4.    Optimistic.

A company called Neuralink has shared a video which appears to show a monkey playing a video game, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just its mind.

Neuralink is a company owned by Elon Musk, which is working to develop devices that could allow people to control things using just their brains. The monkey in the video is called Pager, having special "Link" devices inside his brain. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager5s brain that control movements of the arms and hands.

Scientists taught Pager to play a video game using a banana juice as a reward when he played the game correctly. Soon Pager was eager to play well in order to get more smoothie. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick （操纵杆）.But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out mformation about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralmk5s scientists recorded all of these signals.

Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence （Al） to help them decode （解码）PagerJs brain signals.

The next step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an ＜（upJ, signal to the video game. Thus Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.

When people are paralyzed （瘫痪的），it's often because the brain has lost the ability to send signals to nerves and muscles in certain parts of the body. Neuralink hopes that one day, its system will be able to send this information in a different way, allowing paralyzed people to use their arms or legs again.

32.    What does Neuralink aim to do?

1.    To make monkeys much smarter.
2.    To solve complex problems with monkeys.
3.    To create a device linking monkeys and people.
4.    To make people control things with their brains.

33.    How does the author introduce the process of the research?

1.    In order of time. B. By making a comparison.

C. By giving examples. D. In order of space.

34.    What played an important role in the success of the research?

1.    The joystick. B. Artificial intelligence.

C. The video game. D. The banana smoothie.

35.    Which is the most suitable title of the test?

1.    Neuralink Posts an Unusual Video
2.    Disabled People Have a Bright Future
3.    Monkey Plays Video Games with His Mind
4.    Neuralink, a Creative and Competitive Company
