Adventure-seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and

spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot

．

When she was sent home to

recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight

，

she became so fearful of crutches

that she didn't move for three weeks

myself

So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day

，

．

She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run-a quarterly event that she hasn't missed

since 2014

．

，

one in each season

，

you get Alpha

Wolf status

，

．

and I was really upset that I'd lose my status

．

through the course-even with her injured ankle

．

，

and he persuaded me to give it a

go

．

Having something to aim for really kept me going

．

iWALK2

，

which is a medically-approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech

artificial leg

，

allowing users to walk freely

．

I decided to get one and it completely changed

my recovery

．

I could move around the house and start getting out and about again

，

which had

a real impact on my mental well-being

．

On the day of the race

，

Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her

motivated

．

Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up her 23 rd

Wolf Run in five years

Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr

．

Paul Gauthier

，

a plant physiologist

specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about

vertical farming

．

Humans have 12

，

000 years of experience growing food

，

but only a generation or so worth of

experience growing crops indoors

．

We are still progressing up the technology learning curve

What's more

，

traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are

（学习曲线）

．

not applicable to vertical farming

．

Therefore

，

without taking time to understand the science

，

vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises

．

The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must

overcome

．

Dr

．

Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as

businesses

．

He famously calculates

，

for instance

，

that the cost of a loaf of bread would be

$$ 24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high

．

Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high

but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in

crop photosynthesis

（光合作用）

，

so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less

light

．

Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high

，

vertical farming does create

high efficiencies in other areas

．

Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same

water can be recycled time and again

．

Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for

pest control are unnecessary

．

It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society

．

The future is probably mixed

．

In some environments--the Middle East

，

for instance--a move

to vertical farming is a no-brainer

．

An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia

，

for instance

，

can use

solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland

．

In other

geographies

，

though

，

the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and

profitability

．

A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small

profit eight years into its nine - year life

．

8.

What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2

？

______

A.

It will replace traditional farming one day

．

B.

It relies on research of more basic science

．

C.

It can be applicable on different conditions

．

D.

It actually came into being 12

，

000 years ago

．

9.

What does Dr

．

Albright think of vertical farms

？

______

A.

They use less light than traditional ones

．

B.

They may seem very unlikely to succeed

．

C.

They can overcome many problems in farming

．

D.

They do not need any natural sunlight any longer

．

10.

What is the fourth paragraph mainly about

？

______

A.

The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning

．

B.

The secrets of developing vertical farming

．

C.

The recent trend of vertical farming

．

D.

The benefits of vertical farming

．

11.

Why is the example of

？

______

A.

To show vertical fanning can work well in some places

．

B.

To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia

．

C.

To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high

．

D.

To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer

．

D

Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth

，

but it's not Atlantis

．

They found it while

reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology

，

which rises with

mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran

．

The continent is called Greater Adria

．

It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North

Africa

，

only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago

．

And chances

are you've been there without even knowing it

．

，

said Douwe

，

study author

and professor at Utrecht University

．

，

vast numbers of tourists spend

their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria

．

geologists

，

so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as

第< /p>

3

页，共

页

Greater Adria

．

Most of Greater Adria was underwater

，

covered by shallow seas

，

coral reefs and sediments

（沉淀物）．

The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these

areas

：

the Alps

，

the Apennines

，

the Balkans

，

Greece and Turkey

．

The researchers found

that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago

．

This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found

．

In January 2017

，

researchers

announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana

，

which began breaking apart 200 million years ago

．

The leftover piece

，

which was covered

in lava

（岩浆）

，

is now under Mauritius

，

an island in the Indian Ocean

．

And in September

2017

，

a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in

the South Pacific

．

It's two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea

．

Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found

．

But if research in past years shows

anything

，

it likely won't be the last discovery

．

12.

How did the researchers find Greater Adria

？

______

A.

They found it accidentally

．

B.

They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis

．

C.

They discovered it after years of seaching

．

D.

They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges

．

13.

What do we know about Greater Adria

？

______

A.

It is hidden under the sea level

．

B.

It is much smaller than Greenland

．

C.

It has existed for about 240 million years

．

D.

It has been known to many tourists before

．

14.

Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4

？

______

A.

To describe how the researchers explored continents

．

B.

To show some other lost continents have been found

．

C.

To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria

．

D.

To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried

．

15.

What is the best title for the text

？

______

A.

Atlantis Discovered Finally

B.

Undersea World Explored

C.

A Hidden Mountain Undiscovered

D.

A Lost Continent Found Under Europe

Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start It doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to

turn a fresh page on each new day

，

a day

or a week

．

(4) You should be able to put

some space between yourself and digital routines

the future or even the present
