• 1．This year，most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them，but it's not too late to reverse that trend.Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.
     Road trip to a local farm
     Visiting a farm is "number one" travel pick right now.Price plays a big role in that suggestion.Apple picking，for example，is usually very affordable，with some orchards（果园）offering products by the pound，for ＄1 or ＄2，and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about ＄30.
     Visit a national park
     There are 421 national parks in the U.S.，so odds are you've got one in driving range.If you're up for a challenge，you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado.The parks are also affordable.An annual pass，which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family，is just ＄80.
     Plan a camping trip
     It doesn't cost much more than camping.Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites，while you can also find cabins in the ＄50-＄100 per night range.There's no shortage of activities，either -whether it's fishing，hiking，biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
     Rent an RV （露营车，房车）
     RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation.Using an RV for a vacation means you're paying for your transportation and lodging all in one.Also，considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as ＄175-＄200 per night，you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.

• 2．A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process（衰老过程）.Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick.Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer，but also healthier.
     For their study，the researchers looked at two groups.The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women.We will call this group the "cyclists".
     Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group.Within this group，75 people were aged from 57 to 80.The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy，but they did not exercise regularly.We will call this group the "non-exercisers".Smokers，heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
     Then，researchers gave both groups a series of tests.They tested their muscle mass（肌肉质量），muscular strength，percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune（免疫的）systems.Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
     Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process.For example，they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength.Also，their body fat did not increase with age.
     The researchers also found something they had not expected.The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age eijye.air.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.
  
  （1）How did the researchers carry out the study？

  
  A．By comparing.

  C．The cyclists' muscles remained strong with age.
  D．The non-exercisers usually had health problems.
  （3）Which is an unexpected result for the researchers？

  
  A．The cyclists had normal aging process.
  B．The cyclists' immune systems didn't age.
  C．The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.
  D．Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

• 3．Ride-sharing services are thought to help to reduce pollution since fewer people use private vehicles and cause carbon dioxide.However，a new study has found that these services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation.Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally-friendly methods of travel，like public transportation，walking or biking，the study found.
     Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities，which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership.
     The new study，carried out by the nonprofit group Union of Concerned Scientists，represents an attempt to center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution.The research examined the effects of ride-sharing services on seven of America's largest cities.Overall，the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now "result in about 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace".The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus，train，bike，scooter（小型摩托车）or on foot.
     One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car.This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests，are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving between pickups.
     This situation，known as"deadheading" takes up about 42 percent of the ride-sharing driving activity，the study found.The researchers said that "deadheading" results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle.
     The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centers.The two companies already operate businesses that offer electric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems.In some cities，they have also promoted vehicle electrification.
  
  （1）According to the text，it is generally thought that car-sharing services

  .
  A．lower the price of private cars
  B．guarantee a healthier lifestyle
  C．greatly cut down travel expenses
  D．are environmentally-friendly
  （2）What is the biggest cause of more ride-sharing pollution？

  
  A．The so-called "deadheading".
  B．The old way vehicles travel.
  C．The huge number of passengers.
  D．The unfamiliar ride-sharing trips.
  （3）What can we say about the study？

  
  A．It is opposed by ride-sharing services.
  B．It is actually of practical significance.
  C．It requires improving in the long term.
  D．It earns much money for Uber and Lyft.
  （4）From which part of a newspaper is the text most probably taken？

  
  A．Travel.
  B．Technology.
  C．Economy.
  D．Environment.
