A Google search for “bicycle tour Patagonia” led my friend Rachel and me to the Carretera Austral: a 770-mile stretch of mostly unpaved highway.
17、We packed our bikes into hoxes and flew to Puerto Montt, a port city some 650 miles south of Santiago. From there, we continued south for several days and set foot on the Carretera.It took about two weeks to cycle the route through wild forests, windswept plains, and snow-capped mountains. On our la
18、st full day along the Carretera-and three days into a constant rainstorm-we found ourselves at a loss for where to sleep. We were cold and wet.We were still 30 miles from Villa OHiggins, which marked the end of the Carretera and the promise of a hot shower. From there, wed ride about 600 miles furth
19、er along somewhat better roads to Ushuaia.There was no way we were going to make OHiggins by nightfall. We hadnt passed a nice campsite in hours. Wed just stopped beside a small stream when we spotted a cowboy-looking man walking out of the trees. And we saw that the stream led to a small house. The
20、 man came to the road. “Do you know a dry place to camp?” Rachel asked.The man invited us into his home. We shared hot chocolate and conversation in his warm, rough kitchen. He brought out an old copy of Patagon Journal, and we were amazed to see a photo of our host, Erasmo Betancourt, on the cover.
21、 It turns out that our new friend was a well-known cowboy-turned-activist who had been an outspoken opponent of the damming(筑坝)of Patagonias rivers. In recent decades, local farmers, fishermen, and conservationists have fiercely resisted the construction of hydroelectric(使用水力发电的)dams on the regions
22、mighty rivers. Our adventure wouldnt have been possible if not for their fierce love of this beautiful land and devotion to its protection.The next morning, we thanked our host and hit the road.

25、Patagonias rivers.D. We encountered kindness in one of the wildest places on Earth.CIsaac Newtons book, the Principia, transformed human understanding of the forces of nature, providing a mathematical basis for the movement of planets, moons, and comets (彗星), as well as objects on Earth. Recently, a
26、 new survey has more than doubled the known number of first editions of the book, including the first ones found in Asia. Nearly 200 first editions of Principia were newly identified in the survey, bringing the total known number to 386. The volumes cover 27 countries on five continents, including A
27、frica and Australia.Until now, the size of the Principias first edition had been thought to be small around 250 based on a 1953 survey that put the number of copies at 189. That figure partly reflects a long-held idea that the book, formally titled the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, w
28、as virtually incomprehensible outside of a small circle of expert mathematicians. But the new survey suggests that the great volume, at 500 pages and written in Latin, may have been popular in many parts of the world.Behind the pages of the Principia, in which Newton laid out his three laws of motio
29、n, is an interesting history that involves the astronomer Edmond Halley and other great figures. Most famous today for the comet that bears his name, Halley sought Newtons input on the shape of planetary orbits, a question that Halley and his colleagues had been puzzling over. Excited by Newtons ans
30、wer an ellipse (椭圆) , and even more so by a paper he later sent to show his calculations, Halley pushed Newton to write the Principia, then funded its publication and was key to promoting it.Such a precious book of knowledge carries enormous value. “In a sense, the Principia combined all the work th
31、at was done for the previous hundred years,” says Mordechai Feingold, a science historian at the California Institute of Technology. “It took Newton to put together the ideas, that Kepler, Galileo, Descartes and other scientists had put forth insofar as heavenly bodies (天体) are concerned, to realize
32、 that Earth is a planet like any other planet and theres a mutual (相互的) attraction between all those heavenly bodies.”8 What does the new survey say about first editions of the Principia?A. They were written in different languages.B. They failed to be seen in Africa.C They included 586 copies altoge
33、ther.D. They reached a wide audience.9. How was the Principia traditionally regarded?A. It was not very easy to understand.B. The number of its pages totaled 600.C. It was not written by Isaac Newton.D. The title of the book was inaccurate.10. What interested Halley most according to paragraph 3?A.
34、Three laws of motion.B. The comet named after him.C. Newtons answer to the shape of planetary orbits.D. Newtons intention to write and publish the Principia.11. Which of the following can best describe Newtons work according to Feingold?A. Arguable.B. Inclusive.C. Meaningless.D. Independent.D“If the
35、 self or person of today, and that of tomorrow, are not the same, but only like persons, the person of today is really no more interested in what will befall (降临到头上) the person of tomorrow, than in what will befall any other person,“ Joseph Butler, a well-known philosopher wrote in 1736.The theory c

37、elf-continuity”. He settled on a simple graphic that presented pairs of circles representing the current self, and a future self (see below).The circles overlapped (重叠) to varying degrees，and the participants had to identify which pair best described how similar and how connected they felt to a futu
38、re self 10 years from now.He then compared these responses to his participants real-life hehavior. Hershfield first looked at his participants real-life savings and he found that the more the participant felt connected to their future self, the more money they had already squirrelled away. Whats mor
39、e, people who score highly on the future self-continuity measure have higher moral standards than the people who struggle to identify with their future selves.Hershfield confirmed that someones (in) ability to identify with their future self can have long-term consequences for their overall wellbein
40、g and that our sense of connection to our future selves can be strengthened. You might consider a simple imaginative exercise in which you write a letter to yourself 20 years from now, describing what is most important for you now and your plans for the coming decades.It might seem strange to start
41、a “conversation“ with an imagined person but once your future self becomes alive in your mind, you may find it much easier to make the small personal sacrifices (牺牲) that are essential to preserve your wellbeing.12. What do we learn about the assumed person described by Joseph Butler?A. He is a self
42、-centered person.B. He is curious about his future life.C. He is bored with the same old routine day after day.D. He is seldom worried about the long-term consequences of his actions.13. What were the participants required to do in Hershfields experiment?A. Draw a simple graph.B. Select a pair of ci
43、rcles.C. Predict their overall wellbeing.D. Compare their real-life behaviours.14 Which of the following best explains “squirrelled away” underlined in paragraph 4?A. Cost.B. Taken out.C. Donated.D. Set aside.15. What is a way to lead a happier life according to the text?A. Considering your future s
