12、s that appear in fiction and non-fiction. JRR Tolkien, a fantasy novel writer, said, “The fact that many books choose to contain one map is evidence to the importance of maps. I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit.” Brutalist London Map, 8 (enjoying a 5% discount) You either love it or

18、 Canada for a4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph.D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked, “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to rev
19、eal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize
20、 with people who understand what youre going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, Id keep my eyes glued to my comput
21、er while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldnt exactly copy the results of another study. I didnt want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missin

26、e.C. To explain the difference between cultures.D To recall his personal experience in France.CBikes are the most common means of transportation in our daily life, but have you ever noticed that a mans bike is quite different from a womans bike? The traditional difference between a mans bike and a w
27、omans bike is the top tube design. A mans bike would have a top tube going straight from the top of the head tube to the top of the seat tube, while a womans bike would have a top tube that connected to the seat tube somewhere lower down. This was originally to make it possible to ride a bike while
28、wearing a skirt without exposing any morally offending body parts while mounting the bike. A consequence of this is that traditional womens frames are weaker than mens, which is why performance-oriented bikes all look the same regardless of the gender of the rider. If youre looking for a performance
29、-based difference, then women often have shorter upper bodies and arms than men, so some manufacturers adapt to that by building frames with shorter top tubes. Others merely think a “cute” paint scheme (组合) on the smaller sizes of their standard frames will be called a womans bike. Do note that the
30、difference from one person to another can easily be bigger than the differences between the mans bike and the womans bike standard. There are also a few other ways of fitting a bike to the rider. For example, handlebars can be replaced for some adjustments of riding position. While its nice to have
31、a well-fitting bike, for an ordinary rider its not as important for a MTB (山地车) as it is for a road bike. On a MTB the rider spends more time out of the saddle (鞍). While riding a road bike the rider spends more time on the saddle, so the position has to fit better. And if its just for wandering aro
32、und the block, then most riders would prefer a “womans” bike. They will usually provide a more upright riding position, which is more comfortable for casual riding.28. What is the traditional difference between a mans bike and a womans bike?A. The design of paint.B. The design of saddle.C. The desig

35、 Environment by Riding Bikes Every DayDDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in
36、many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier. Even though DEET remains the most commonly usedand most powerfulmosquito repellent (防护剂) ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils
37、. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic (合成的) repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the mark
38、et. In my lab at Iowa State University, my team and I have been conducting research on natural products as possible insect repellents for the past 20 years. In the past few years, three of my Ph.D. students havecontributed greatly to our research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing
39、 and testing more than 300 closely related chemicals coming from the best of natural repellents like citronellol, menthol and thymol. These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. The
40、se chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, houses, barracks and horse barns. The other group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents;
41、some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones. The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegrada
42、ble (可生物降解的), with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is st

46、 nothing worse than sitting for an exam and your mind going completely blank. 36 Dont worry because everything will eventually come back to you if you keep calm. Remaining calm is the most important thing at this time, because the more you panic the harder it will be for you to recover. 37 The fact
47、that your mind has gone blank indicates that you are suffering under pressure so the first step towards recovery is to stop worrying about the exam. Think of things other than the exam. Think about a joke, a TV programme or a friend. 38 When youve calmed down you will be in a position to start getti
