27、 A good training partner can be a great asset(有用的人)to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one,it could lead you down the road to frustration. 【1】Here are a few things to look out for: Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain(消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.
Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something impossible or that they can't or you can't do something,you may end up believing them. 【2】
Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time,will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner. 【3】The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.
Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them,there's not much point in having them around to help.
【4】If you are a beginner,try to find someone who knows what they are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.
While there are a number of advantages of having training partner,there are also advantages of working alone. 【5】
A.Training level.
B.Similar strength levels.
C.Be selective when choosing a training partner.
D.Find someone with a similar training goal as you.
E.In every partnership,one person will tend to be the leader.
F.Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.
G.In the end,it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.
28、Most trips will involve some walking, even if the main activity is cycling or horse riding.【1】 However, if you are going to walk 16-19 km or more a day with a pack on your back, daily for several days, your feet and body will suffer if you have not prepared yourself beforehand.
1. Preparation
【2】 Start with gentle walks of 3-5 km a day on easy-going areas. Build this up to 16-19 km, walking on local footpaths once or twice a week, wearing your boots and carrying your pack.
Think about your overall physical fitness if you are overweight, or if you have been ill or are recovering from an injury. You need to be sure that this won't cause health problems or severe discomfort.
2. Care of your feet
Never underestimate the importance of comfortable feet on a walking trip; uncomfortable or sore feet can make your trip truly miserable, so it is worth taking care of them properly.
【3】 Keeping your feet clean will make you more comfortable and washing them every day is advisable. Dry feet well after washing.
3. Deciding on footwear
【4】 Badly fitting boots can cause discomfort and blisters(水泡),and this will be enough to ruin your day. Boots should give good ankle support, and this is especially important for mountain walking. 【5】 For extreme conditions, such as snow and ice, jungle or desert, you will need specially designed boots.
A.A short hike is within most people's capabilities.
B.The most important criterion(标准)with walking boots is that they fit you properly.
C.Take a short walk daily for several days, and your feet and body will improve a lot.
D.Remember that the same boots will not necessarily be suitable for every trip.
E.During the expedition, keep your toenails cut short, so that your boots don't press on them.
F.If you are not an experienced walker, get in some training walks as part of your preparation.
G.To prepare for your walking trip, you have to wash your feet every day for several days.
29、 For the first time, a causal link has been established between climate(气候) change and the timing of a natural event-the appearance of the common brown butterfly.
Although there have been strong connections between global warming and changes in the timing of events such as animal migration and flowering, it has been hard to show a cause-and-effect link. This is what Michael Kearney and Natalie Briscoe of the University of Melbourne, Australia, have now done.
The researchers compared temperature changes in Melbourne-where the butterfly is common-with recorded observations of the first brown butterfly to be seen in the spring since the 1940s.With each of the past ten years, the butterflies appeared 1.6 days earlier and Melbourne heated by 0.14℃. Overall, the butterfly now appears on average 10.4 days before it did in the 1940s.
The pair are confident in the relationship for two reasons. First, they placed eggs of the butterfly, in special boxes where temperature could be controlled and found that each larval stage had a different response to warmer-than-normal conditions. The egg, which is laid in late summer, and the first larval stage do well at high temperatures, says Kearney. The second to the fifth stages occur in winter and can't survive high temperatures. The knock- on effect is that the larval pupates earlier and the butterfly appears sooner. Second, they made a mathematical model combining these physiological effects of temperature on development with climate data. The model precisely matched the observed changes in butterfly emergence date.
The researchers used several climate models to find out what is likely to have caused the rise in Melbourne's temperature, and ruled out the possibility that natural weather events could account for the warming.
【1】What is the relationship between the rise in temperature and the butterfly appearance?
A.They are linked in a difficult way.
B.They are related in a cause-and-effect way.
C.They have a direct relationship with each other.
D.They have no connection with each other.
【2】Why were the researchers confident about their finding?
A.They had used the most advanced equipment in the world.
B.Their finding got support from the textbooks.
C.The results of their study is based on expert judgement.
D.Their experiment proved their previous guessing.
【3】What does the underlined part "The knock-on effect" in paragraph 4 mean?
A.The effect caused by the thing that happened before.
B.The effect of things that happened at the same time.
C.The effect of one thing causing the other long after.
D.The effect of one thing causing the other quickly.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The exact reason for Melbourne's temperature rise is very clear.
B.Climate models cannot exactly show climate change in history.
C.The timing of the butterfly appearance will be earlier with increased warming.
D.The rise in temperature decides the possibility of natural weather events.

Through this educational website, aimed at networking 10,000 African ______ worldwide, all Sisters commit to sending information to their villages. This can be to ______ financial freedom, advance information ______ to health issues and provide knowledge about social networking behavior.
“Hey Sister, Get Clued-Up” is only ______ to those girls who can access the Internet, which highlights the huge challenge in ______ the divide between the haves and have-nots. But our plan is that these girls will ______ what they learn to other girls through the “power of their voice”.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
