Saring t 29, 035 feet, the famus Munt Everest had lng been cnsidered unclimbable due t the freezing weather, the bvius ptential fall frm cliffs and the effects f the extreme high altitude, ften called “muntain sickness.” But that was t be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited t jin the British Everest expeditin in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-cvered peaks in his hmetwn in New Zealand prved a perfect training grund fr the Himalaya. It was his furth Himalayan expeditin in just ver tw years and he was at the peak f fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Nrgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人), set ut and reached the Suth Summit by 9 a.m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell befre rising suddenly in a rcky spur (尖坡) abut 17 meters high just befre the true summit. The frmatin is difficult t climb due t its extreme pitch because a mistake wuld be deadly. Scratching at the snw with his ax, Hillary managed t vercme this enrmus bstacle, later t be knwn as the Hillary Step.
At 11: 30 a. m., the tw men fund themselves standing at the tp f the wrld. “Nt until we were abut 50 feet f the tp was I ever cmpletely cnvinced that we were actually ging t reach the summit.” Hillary later recunted, “Of curse I was very, very pleased t be n the summit, but my first thught was a little bit f surprise. After all, this is the ambitin f all muntaineers.”
Emerging as the first t summit Munt Everest, Hillary cntinued by helping explre Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), thrugh which he prvided a number f beneficial services t the Himalayan peples. He als left a sizeable legacy that muntain climbers have chased ever since. As a yung climber said, “It was nt just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit f Munt Everest. It was all f humanity. Suddenly, all f us culd g.”
24. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber n the 1953 expeditin?
A. His undisputed reputatin. B. His previus training n Munt Everest.
C. His remarkable physical cnditin. D. His exceptinal ability t adapt t the cld.
25. What des the Hillary Step refer t?
A. A steep spur f rck Hillary cnquered. B. An ax Hillary used t scratch snw.
C. A mistake Hillary avided making. D. A sudden fall f a ridge Hillary skipped.
26. What was Hillary's initial feeling upn reaching the summit f Munt Everest?
A. Overwhelming jy. B. A tuch f astnishment.
C. Cmplete disbelief. D. Enrmus pride.
27. What was the impact f Hillary's achievement n muntaineering?
A. It led t friendly regulatins fr muntaineering.
B. It left financial benefits fr climbers t pursue.
C. It enabled him t give back t his hmetwn.
D. It pens up pssibilities fr ther climbers.

Farming is destrying the planet, but there culd be a much mre envirnmentally friendly way t feed urselves: using renewable energy t turn carbn dixide int fd. “This is becming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Slar Fds, a cmpany that is building the first cmmercial-scale factry that will be able t make fd directly frm CO2.
There can be n dubt that immediate attentin t find greener ways t grw fd is required. Cnventinal agriculture, including rganic farming, causes damage t the envirnment in many ways. It requires a lt f land, leading t habitat lss and defrestatin. It is als the surce f a third f all greenhuse gas emissins and releases ther pllutants. It isn't very efficient, either. Crps typically transfrm less than 1 percent f light energy int usable bimass (生物量).
Instead, Slar Fds plans t avid phtsynthesis (光合作用) altgether, and grw bacteria that use hydrgen as their surce f energy. At the factry, renewable electricity will be used t split water t prduce hydrgen and xygen. The hydrgen will be added t large cntainers, where the bacteria grw, alng with CO2 and ammnia (氨气). The end result will be a yellw pwder called Slein.
Slein is made f bacterial cells and is up t 70 percent prtein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds f fds. “We are aiming at replacing animal-surced prteins, which we think have the highest envirnmental impact,” says Vainikka.
Cmpared with plant crps, Slein will use 100 times less water per kilgram f prtein prduced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, accrding t Slar Fds. There are ther benefits, t: factries culd be situated anywhere in the wrld and prductin wn't be affected by weather cnditins.
“With Slar Fds and ther cmpanies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era f agriculture,” says Drian Leger at Cnnectmix Bi in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbn curve as well as lead t imprved glbal fd supply security.”
28. What is the authr's purpse in mentining cnventinal agriculture in paragraph 2?
A. T demnstrate its influence n crps. B. T cmpare different farming methds.
C. T highlight the urgent need fr alternatives. D. T prvide an example f agricultural types.
29. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 cncerning Slein?
A. Its prductin prcess. B. Its strage cnditin.
C. Its ingredient materials. D. Its investment ptential.
30. All f the fllwing are the features f Slein except _____________.
A. it is prtein-richB. its prductin is weather sensitive
C. it is resurce-efficientD. its prductin is lcatin-independent
31. Which statement wuld Drian Leger prbably agree with?
A. The use f Slein may help reduce carbn emissins.
B. Slein will dminate the agricultural develpment.
C. Slein can help achieve glbal fd safety.
D. The prspect f Slein remains t be seen.

Many peple have participated int lts f virtual meetings these years. Sme research shws this adjustment might nt impact wrkplace prductivity t any great degree. A new study, thugh, suggests therwise.
In the study, 602 participants were randmly paired and asked t cme up with creative uses fr a prduct. They were als randmly selected t wrk tgether either in persn r virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their ttal number f ideas, as well as thse cncepts' degree f nvelty, and asked t submit their best idea. Amng the grups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that smething abut face-t-face interactin generates mre creative ideas. The findings culd stiffen emplyers' reslve t urge r require their emplyees t cme back t the ffice.
“We ran this experiment based n feedback frm cmpanies that it was harder t innvate with remte wrkers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike ther frms f virtual cmmunicatin, like phne calls r e-mail, videcnferencing cpies the in-persn experience quite well, s I was surprised when we fund meaningful differences between in-persn and vide interactin fr idea generatin.”
When randm bjects were placed in bth the virtual and physical rms, the virtual pairs f participants spent mre time lking directly at each ther rather than letting their lk wander abut the rm and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing ne's whle envirnment and nticing the randm bjects were assciated with increased idea generatin. On platfrms, the screen ccupies ur interactins. Our lk wavers less. “Lking away might cme acrss as rude,” said Brucks, “s we have t lk at the screen because that is the defined cntext f the interactin, the same way we wuldn't walk t anther rm while talking t smene in persn.”
Like mst educatrs, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did ntice sme benefits f the apprach as well. Her students were mre likely t take turns speaking and her shyer students spke up mre ften, rid f the anxiety that cmes frm addressing a large classrm. Brucks fund that ne slutin t imprving virtual idea generatin might be t simply turn ff the camera, fr her students felt “freer” and mre creative when asked t d s. And this may be sund advice fr the wrkplace.
32. What des the underlined wrd “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean?
A. challenge. B. revise. C. strengthen. D. shake.
33. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ____________.
A. Creative ideas may emerge frm casual thughts.
B. The feedback frm cmpanies seems questinable.
C. Participants shuld make eye cntact in an nline meeting.
D. Videcnferencing can't cmpare with in-persn cmmunicatin.
34. What can we learn abut Brucks' students?
A. They prgressed in fcusing attentin. B. They relieved anxiety by speaking up.
C. They displayed talent fr public speaking.D. They tk advantage f virtual learning.
35. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Brainstrming Online Limits CreativityB. Interacting In Persn Bsts Efficiency
C. Gruping Randmly Increases PrductivityD. Maintaining Teamwrk Imprves Innvatin

In the spring sun, my aunt and I headed fr her flwer shp. Nrmally I wuld be delighted t help in her shp, but nt recently because f Rsa. Rsa was my sister, just ne mnth ld wh was settled in my ld bedrm. Fr ten years, the small rm was full f my tys and bks. But nw it was transfrmed int her baby rm, decrated like a garden with pinks and yellws. My space, my ld life, was gne.
“Here we are!” We arrived at the shp, a wave f clur and sweet smell washing ver me. My aunt said I culd pick sme flwers fr Mum and Dad. I used t lve this, but tday I was s vercme with tiredness and envy. Why bther t bring them flwers when they were enjying Rsa at hme withut me?
Silently I helped my aunt arrange flwers. “Yur mum tld me there hasn't been much shut eye recently fr any f yu.” “Nt much, since Rsa the alarm clck was installed (安装).” I cmplained with a huge yawn (哈欠).
“I remember having t creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) arund like a wrn-ut muse when yur mum was a baby. I spent the first mnths hating her s much.” “But yu and Mum seem s clse,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy f Rsa.
“Nw we are. But it tk me years t grw int the rle f big sister. Few flwers blssm (绽放) vernight, yu knw.” She pulled me in fr aside hug, glancing up at the clck, and suggested I take a walk utside.
Behind her shp was a field dtted with spring flwers. Stepping int the field, I began t pick little flwers. It was like gathering my childhd memries. I remembered hw I'd sit with Dad, making flwer chains, crwning (授予) each ther with the silliest titles: Queen f Junk Fd and King f Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellw flwers reminded me f the clr in Rsa's baby rm. Was she awake? I wndered.

Dear David,

Suddenly I saw tw familiar figures walking twards me. “Lk wh's here!” my dad exclaimed with a smile, hlding Rsa with a baby basket. The yellw flwers in my hand seemed t glw even brighter as I gazed at the beautiful little girl. I culdn't help recalling what my aunt tld me. I knew that it wuld take time fr me t adjust t sharing my parents' attentin and my ld rm, but I was determined t be the best big sister I culd be. Then I carefully arranged the yellw flwers int a small buquet and handed it t my mm with a smile. “These are fr yu and Dad, and als fr Rsa,” I said, feeling a warmth in my chest that had been missing earlier.
Rsa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket. Her big blue eyes were pen, taking in the wrld arund her. As I watched my little sister, I culdn't help but feel a sense f wnder and amazement at hw perfect she was. I gently picked her up and held her clse, feeling her warmth and breathing in the sweet scent f her hair. I knew that frm nw n, my life wuld never be the same. I wuld n lnger be the center f attentin, and I wuld have t share my parents with this beautiful little creature. But as I lked int Rsa's eyes, I knew that it was all wrth it. She was my family, and I lved her mre than anything in the wrld.
