19、o 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary. When he was invited to join
20、the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness. On May 28,
21、 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人), set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a.m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to cl
22、imb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step. At 11: 30 a. m., the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 f
23、eet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”Emerging as the f
24、irst to summit Mount Everest, Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also left a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young cli
25、mber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”24. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition?A. His undisputed reputation. B. His previous training on Mount Everest. C. His remark
26、able physical condition. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold. 25. What does the Hillary Step refer to?A. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered. B. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow. C. A mistake Hillary avoided making. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped. 26. What was Hillarys
27、initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest?A. Overwhelming joy. B. A touch of astonishment. C. Complete disbelief. D. Enormous pride. 27. What was the impact of Hillarys achievement on mountaineering?A. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering. B. It left financial benefits f
28、or climbers to pursue. C. It enabled him to give back to his hometown. D. It opens up possibilities for other climbers. CFarming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is
29、becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2. There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including or
30、ganic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isnt very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 pe
31、rcent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量). Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be
32、 added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein. Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sou
33、rced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka. Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories c
34、ould be situated anywhere in the world and production wont be affected by weather conditions. “With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and wil
35、l help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.”28. What is the authors purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2?A. To demonstrate its influence on crops. B. To compare different farming methods. C. To highlight the urgent need for alternati
36、ves. D. To provide an example of agricultural types. 29. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein?A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition. C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment potential. 30. All of the following are the features of Solein except _.A. it is prot
37、ein-richB. its production is weather sensitiveC. it is resource-efficientD. its production is location-independent31. Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with?A. The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions. B. Solein will dominate the agricultural development. C. Solein can help
38、 achieve global food safety. D. The prospect of Solein remains to be seen. DMany people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. In the study,
39、 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts degree of novelty, and asked t
40、o submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. “We ra
41、n this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when
42、 we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation.”When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room
43、and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing ones whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude,” said Brucks, “so we have to look at the sc
44、reen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldnt walk to another room while talking to someone in person.”Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students wer
45、e more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creativ
46、e when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace. 32. What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. challenge. B. revise. C. strengthen. D. shake. 33. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that _.A. Creative ideas may emerge from cas
47、ual thoughts. B. The feedback from companies seems questionable. C. Participants should make eye contact in an online meeting. D. Videoconferencing cant compare with in-person communication. 34. What can we learn about Brucks students?A. They progressed in focusing attention. B. They relieved anxiet
48、y by speaking up. C. They displayed talent for public speaking.D. They took advantage of virtual learning. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Brainstorming Online Limits CreativityB. Interacting In Person Boosts EfficiencyC. Grouping Randomly Increases ProductivityD.
