Years of unbalanced investment in public parks has left 100 million Americans without access to decent nearby green spaces during the coronavirus lockdown, a new report reveals.

Local parks have been a godsend to many people during the disease as schools, gyms and walking trails have closed to minimize physical contact and check the spread of the virus. But the annual parks score index by the Trust for Public Land (TPL) has revealed wide gap in access. For instance, 98% of residents in Washington and Minnesota are within a ten-minute walk of a park, compared to less than 50% of those in cities like Arizona and Oklahoma City.

Even within cities, access to green spaces – like access to healthy food, healthcare and good schools – is also unfair, with low-income households and people of colour least likely to live close to parks with basic facilities like toilets, playgrounds and basketball courts.

As summer edges closer, it's clear that public parks will play a crucial role in providing safe, affordable leisure spaces for millions of people unable to work or travel. Yet, evidence detailed in the report suggests park services could face dramatic cutbacks as local governments face unprecedented economic challenges as a result of the shutdowns.

A survey of 300 park officials in mid-April by the National Recreation and Park Association found that about half had already been instructed to cut budgets by 10% to 20% for the current financial year. Nationwide, the parks system took years to recover from budget cuts after the Great Recession that upset planned improvements and expansions. The economic consequences of the coronavirus disease are expected to be both deeper and longer.

For environmental justice activists, there is some hope. The unprecedented crisis could enhance appreciation for parks – and encourage a wave of local activism to fight for fair access. Rue Mapp, the founder and CEO of Outdoor Afro, said, "This is an opportunity for us to rethink public lands and to get people out of the mindset that nature is somewhere that you have to drive to."

  1. (1) Why are local parks described as a "godsend"?
    A . Because they are a treat for the eyes. B . Because they can limit the spread of the coronavirus. C . Because residents in most cities in the US have access to a park. D . Because schools, gyms and walking trails are not accessible during the lockdown.
  2. (2) Access to green spaces is often problematic for low-income households and people of colour in that ______.
    A . they are unlikely to live close to parks B . those green spaces often lack basic facilities C . they are more likely to come down with the coronavirus D . they have less access to healthy food, healthcare and good schools
  3. (3) What effect could coronavirus have on US parks?
    A . Parks would be forced to charge visitors to enter. B . People are discouraged from playing and exercising in the parks. C . Parks became safe leisure places for people to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. D . Their budget could be sharply reduced, and this will affect improvements and expansions.
  4. (4) What possible benefit might the coronavirus crisis have?
    A . It might encourage local activism. B . It might encourage people to drive to parks. C . It might make people recognize the worth of parks better. D . It might increase the budget for improvements and expansions.
A (全球的) environmental meeting is going to be held here.
The seeming logic of addressing the issue has fallen apart that ________ economy develops, interpersonal relationships worsen, for people are willing to take due responsibility.
A . unless B . before C . what D . where

    Have you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their drinks in, but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? In the U.S, they've created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.

    This tradition — if that's what you want to call it — dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already common for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy's to treat yourself to a block of ice?

    Putting ice in the drink started to become somewhat of a fashion trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne(香槟酒)and sip at their iced drinks at high-class parties But, like any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.

    So, next time you travel overseas, don't feel offended(冒犯)when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.

  1. (1) What can we infer about Brits?
    A . They treat their guests to cold drinks. B . They always follow what Americans do. C . They don't know where to get ice. D . They have ice boxes later than Americans
  2. (2) Why do Brits take their drinks at room temperature?
    A . Because they have no fridges. B . Because they have warm taps. C . Because they are used to it. D . Because they can't afford ice.
  3. (3) What does the text mainly talk about?
    A . Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don't. B . When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals. C . Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks. D . How Europeans and Americans make different drinks.
If there are any such adjustments it would suggest that investors had interpreted the information in a biased fashion and hence in a(n) _____ manner.
A . efficient B . unefficient C . non-efficient D . inefficient

Do you know what a big dream is?   36   Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to.    37    Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.

   38  

Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world.   39   In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.    40  

A. Family and Friends

B. How Big Dreams Die

C. Does a big dream show one’s future?

D. They simply fail until they succeed.

E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong

F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

I’m glad to write to you. It has been near a month since you leave our hospital. I’m still worried about you.What are you getting along these days? I think you may be much better now.

Since the 1970sscientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computersBraincomputer interfaceBCI technology could help people with disabilities to send orders to machines

Recentlytwo researchersJose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in LausanneSwitzerlandshowed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person's thoughts

In the laboratoryTavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right handHe could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts

"Our brain has billions of nerve cellsThese send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to moveBut spinal cord injuries or other cases can prevent these weak signals from reaching the muscles"Tavella says"Our system allows disabled people to communicate with the outside world and also to control machines"

The researchers designed a special cap for the userThis cap picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computerThe computer interprets the signals and commands the robotic wheelchairThe wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its pathThey help the computer react to commands from the brain

ProfMilanthe team leader says his team has set two goalsOne is testing with real patientsso as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit fromAnd the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time

12How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory    

ABy controlling his muscles

BBy talking to the machine

CBy moving his hand

DBy using his mind

13Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5    

Ascalp→computer→cap→wheelchair   

Bcomputer→cap→scalp→wheelchair

Cscalp→cap→computer→wheelchair   

Dcap→computer→scalp→wheelchair

14The team will test with real patients to    

Amake profits from them             

Bprove the technology useful to them

Cmake them live longer              

Dlearn about their physical condition

15Which of the following would be the best title for the text

BNew Findings About How the Human Brain Works

CBCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled

DRobotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

I was born in a town called Blackburn, in the northwest of England, and lived there till I left home   61 the age of eighteen. My parents had moved to England from India during   62 1970s.  

As a child, I went to my local school and, of course    63(speak) English with a local accent. But home was very different: we lived in a kind of little India, with a huge extended family of uncles and aunts. I remember   64(feel) part of this big thing called family, and an even   65(big) thing called India. I suppose my family   66(real) influenced me while I was growing up. They used to talk about India as home”—even   67at that time I had never been there!   

To me, it doesn’t seem at all strange to grow up as part of two cultures. I am always thinking that growing up with two cultures is a gift, not a   68(advantage). Now as a mother, I want my child   69(get) in contact(接触) with her Indian roots too, so we are planning to visit there later this year. All her Indian   70(cousin) are expecting to meet her!
