For more than 10 years,the “SAS Survival Guide,” a book about outdoor tips by John “Lofty” Wiseman,has been a necessity in my camping backpack. The 400-page handbook usually comes with me on camping trips and has helped me search for food or use the sun and stars to find my way. But whenever I fly,I leave the book behind. However,what would happen if my plane crashed on a deserted island? Could I possibly create shelter from whale bones without this guide?
But no fear: the “SAS Survival Guide” comes in an app(應用程序) and it's every bit as terrific as the book.
The user-friendly app includes guidelines from the book,and then some. There are tips for building a fire,treating a snake bite and searching for mushrooms. The first aid guide includes instructions for saving yourself if you are choking. And there are warnings: If you happen to kill a polar bear,Wiseman warns,do not eat the liver(內(nèi)臟) ,because it contains deadly amounts of vitamin A.
Sixteen videos show Wiseman teaching survival techniques,including one in which he kills a chicken. aSave the feathers. They can be useful for insulating (絕緣) clothing ,” he advises. But don't worry,no chickens were harmed in the testing of this app.
In other videos,Wiseman shows how to build shelter from plants with feathery green leaves,how to obtain drinkable water with a bag and how to construct a house from blocks of hard snow or ice.
There is room for improvement. Step-by-step videos would be more helpful than a series of pictures showing varipus knot (結) types. And the search function is complicated. On a recent camping trip,I ran across a black bear. Backing away,I searched the app for “bear,” which gave me more than 50 hits,including “bearings." Worried the bear would attack me as I looked through the results,I instead made a wide arc (弧) around her along the bank of a river. Fortunately,this was the right course,I later learned.
Still,it's a helpfiil app. If only Wiseman had tips on keeping a cellphone's battery life in the wilderness.
28. The author feels the book “SAS Survival Guide” is.
A. out-of-date B. very helpful
C. easy to carry D. too thick to read
29. According to John “Lofty” Wiseman,if you are eating a polar bear,you .
A. should avoid eating its liver
B. can take in enough vitamin A
C. should be careful not to choke
D. can save its fur to make clothes
30. The videos on the “SAS Survival Guide” app.
A. are all about outdoor tips from the book
B. show how to make various knots clearly
C. teach people how to live in the wild
D. are shot by John “Lofty” Wiseman
31. The author shows one of the app’s weaknesses.
A. by example B. by process
C. by comparison D. by classification
(科普知識與現(xiàn)代技術)
本文是說明文。文章介紹了一個關于戶外生存的應用程序。
28.B. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的、 has been a necessity in my camping backpack ... has helped me search for food or use the sun and stars to find my way可知,這本書在作者露營時 用處很大,所以作者露營時總是帶著 這本書。
29. A. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的 If you happen to kill a polar bear,Wiseman warns,do not eat the liver 可知答案。
30. C. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四、五段內(nèi) 容,尤其是第四段中的Sixteen videos show Wiseman teaching survival techniques可知,這些視頻都是關于野外生存的技巧。
31. A. 寫作手法題。倒數(shù)第二段介紹了 這個應用程序的兩個缺點,其中作者 用大量筆墨以自己的親身經(jīng)歷為例 說明了其搜索功能的缺點。

Football players suffer more concussions(腦震蕩) than athletes in any other high school sport. Is this beloved game worth the risks — or should schools do away with it?
YES: Football is a dangerous sport.
Football is a cruel sport that can have lifelong consequences!When your brain is bashed(猛撞) against your skull,it never fully recover.In fact,scientists are learning that repeated concussions may lead to Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,and memory loss. We don't let teens ruin their lungs with cigarette smoke 一 so why do we allow them to damage their brains in the name of football?
Recently,Chris Borland,a promising young San Francisco 49ers player,quit after just one year,because of the risk to his health. That's a strong statement.
And just look at all the cases of violence in the NFL (National Football League) — clearly brain damage isn't the only problem!Football promotes a culture of violence that rewards aggressive behavior. This culture needs to be stopped.
一Vikram Chandramouli,a seventh-grade student from Illinois
NO: Banning football will not solve the problem.
I've seen field hockey(曲棍球) teammates get hit in the face with balls and struck in the head with sticks,so I know firsthand: Concussions do not discriminate among sports!Why take away one of the most popular pastimes,then? At many schools,football is the center of student life. Without it,there would be no school spirit.
I firmly believe that banning football will not solve the concussion problem. Bringing awareness to this issue — so that coaches and players understand how to prevent injuries and provide proper treatment if they occur — just might.
Sports safety needs to be taught at the beginning of each season,so students understand the risks of playing with symptoms of a brain injury. And that goes for all teams,not just football.
—Amanda Vigdor,a high school senior from New Jersey
29. Chris Borland is mentioned.
A. to show how important football is
B. because he is crazy about football
C. to prove that football is too dangerous
D. because he is suffering from many diseases
30. From Vikram's point of view,football.
A. can ruin players’ lungs completely
B. is bad for the social environment
C. has some advantages
D. encourages smoking
31. What does the underlined part mean?
A. Brain damage can be caused by any sport.
B. Racial discrimination does not exist in sport.
C. Discrimination in sport can cause concussions.
D. Football encourages students to compete fairly.
32. What does Amanda stress in the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of playing football.
B. The importance of banning football.
C. The possibility of preventing injuries in sport.
D. The necessity of teaching students sports safety.

Try to imagine a world without noodles and you may begin to realize just how widespread this thin,tasty food has become. Discoveries in archaeology have proven it to be a surprisingly ancient food,dating back at least to 4000 B. C. Not surprisingly,however,given the noodle's widespread appeal and high status in more than a few culinary(烹任的) traditions,the claim to its invention is often a hotly contested subject.
Many peoples have laid claim to its origination. Historically,both Italy and the Middle East have particularly battled for the title. Italian cooking is closely connected with the pasta noodle,but surprisingly the oldest recorded use of noodles in Italy only dates back to the 8th century,during the Arab conquest of Sicily,an island of Italy. This fact,along with the appearance of wheat flour in the Middle East around 5000 B. C., has led some to favor the Arab world as the more likely candidate to have first created noodles. However,recent evidence has cast some doubt on this theory,when the oldest known bowl of noodles was discovered in northwestern China.
In 2002,a sealed bowl was unearthed from beneath ten feet of soil at the Lajia archaeological site,and found to contain a bowl of amazingly well-preserved noodles. After examination,scientists considered them to be about 4,000 years old. It was also determined that the noodles were not made of the wheat flour known at that time throughout the Middle East,but instead of two types of millet grain,which was widely grown tliroughout China as far back as 7,000 years ago.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the find,however,as archaeochemist Patrick McGovern at the University of Pennsylvania points out,is the degree of skill required to fashion long,thin noodles like those found at Lajia. “This shows a fairly high level of food processing and culinary techniques,” he said.
Although the Lajia discovery makes China home to the oldest known noodles,the origin of the noodle itself remains one of ancient history's many secrets.
29. There has been a worldwide debate over.
A. what food is the oldest
B. where the noodle was invented
C. when the oldest food was discovered
D. whether the noodle is the world's most popular food
30. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2 ?
A. Wheat flour may come from Sicily Island.
B. People in the Arab world first made noodles.
C. The first noodles were made in the 8th century.
D. Italy is less likely to be the noodle's birthplace.
31. What can we learn about the noodles found in 2002?
A. They were in good condition.
B. They were made of wheat flour.
C. They were made 7,000 years ago.
D. They were discovered in the Middle East.
32. What did Patrick McGovern wonder at?
A. The long history of the noodles.
B. The unique way of storing food.
C. The way the noodles were made.
D. The value of the archaeological find.
