Cycling lovers from across the country identify the best routes the UK has to offer.

Oisin Sands 

Editor of sportive.com 

Route:

Rostrevor to Carlingford,County Down (30-42 miles) 

   “My favourite bike ride would start in Rostrevor,County Down,where I grew up,”says Oisin Sands.

   The ride takes in some breathtaking views on the way to the pretty harbour town of Carlingford. From Carlingford,head back to Newry. Or save on tired legs by taking the ferry from Omeath on the south side to Warrenpoint in the summer,and cycling the short distance back to the start.

Route:

Hadrian's Cycleway,Ravenglass to South Shields (174 miles) 

   This route follows the length of Hadrian's Wall and takes in coastal views and old-fashioned market towns.

                The guy who tried to edit English 

   The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also fiill of words that mean practically the same thing. Get,obtain,acquire. Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle. 36 

   That was the thinking of a British writer named C. K. Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed(提議) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 37 

   Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” — words like come,go, get,take,have,make,be, and do — Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal." is “go from memory."

   Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English,and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 39 Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his “blood,toil,tears,and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."

   40 Churchill didn't use it either. When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.

   A. Do we really need them all?

   B. How many words are there in English?

   C. Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.

   D. Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.

   E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.

   F. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.

   G. Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

   Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible(不可思議的) acts of athleticism,but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014,and T ve 42 two that inspired me.

   One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbing(蹣跚而行) along the track,far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis was*broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n)45 ski. Wadsworth didn't want Gafarov to finish slowly,hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 .The Canadian skiers were already out of the race,giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski,or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski,48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49,he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.

   The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won,2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines,cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazilian defender David Luiz walked over to him,pointed at him,and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriguez 56.

   As an athlete,I know it's easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as winning and losing.

   Monique Udell,a researcher with Oregon State University,got the help of ten domesticated(馴養(yǎng)的) dogs,ten dogs that live in shelters,and ten wolves raised by humans. Each of the animals was presented with a tasty sausage which they could smell,but not eat. The sausage was then placed inside a plastic container with a cover connected to a short length of rope. In order to open the container and eat the sausage,they had to pull on the rope while holding down the container,a task considered fairly simple for dogs and wolves. The experiment was conducted in two ways,one in which the animals were alone,and the other one in which they were with their owners.

   Surprisingly,none of the pet dogs was able to complete the task,and only one of the shelter dogs did so. However,eight out of ten wolves succeeded.

   The presence of a human made no difference. When the owner offered encouragements,four of the shelter dogs were able to access the sausage,but still only one pet managed to do it.

   Udell also made an interesting note: pet dogs have lived alongside humans for a long time,and therefore,when feeling confused about a new situation,they tend to look at their owners for help. The dogs were asking for help,while the wolves didn't give up and tried to solve the problem themselves.

   This experiment seems to show that something about being pets made dogs lose a big part of their motivation and this affects their problem-solving ability. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that shelter dogs did somewhat better than house dogs — which indicates that being a pet makes dogs “softer” and less motivated to solve problems. However,things are not as simple as saying that wolves are “smarter” or “more creative” than dogs.

28. The sausages used in the experiment.

   A. had a disgusting smell

   B. came from some shelters

   C. were directly tied to a rope

   D. could be reached with very little effort

29. As for the pet dogs in the experiment,the presence of their owners .

   A. produced a negative result

   B. made them totally confused

   C. had little effect on their performance

   D. gave them the greatest encouragement

30. What does the underlined part “do it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

   A. Pull on the rope. B. Smell the sausage.

   C. Open the container. D. Make a difference.

31. The experiment shows that .

   A. dogs hate being kept as pets

   B. pets have lost part of their wild nature

   C. shelter dogs seldom turn to others for help

   D. wolves are smarter and more creative than dogs

   I was on my way school,this afternoon when I met with a young American couple. They looked worrying,so I went up to them and asked if only they’d like any help. They said that they wanted to go to the railway station,but they didn’t know the way. Heard this,I offered to lead them here. They were so thankful to me that they said “thank you” again and again but I felt very proud of me. But when I arrived at the school,I found myself later for class.
