Professional rock climber Emily Harrington has made history after successfully free climbing Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan on 4 November 2020.
Harrington, 34, became the fourth person — and the first woman — to ever scale the 3,000-foot El Capitan without the help of a rope or other equipment. “The people before me who have achieved this are kind of like some of my heroes in rock climbing,” she said, “so it feels pretty special to join that group.”
But Harrington’s climb was not without injury — at one point, she slid and was left with a serious wound on her forehead that required her to take a break. “I took a fall and I couldn’t get my feet out and my head actually hit the wall,” she recalled, “I got this wound on my forehead. I rested a little bit longer, bandaged (包扎) it up, and then tried again,” Harrington said, adding that although she “kind of didn’t really want to try again,” she powered through because “ I felt like I should try again.”
After 21 hours and 13 minutes, Harrington scaled all of El Capitan, achieving a feat (壮举) she failed to finish twice last year. “That was my life dream. I achieved it,” she said.
Harrington said she’s hopeful that her journey has inspired others. “I hope that as a result of my story more people will get to experience climbing, or at least try.”
Harrington previously scaled Mt. Qomolangma, the tallest mountain in the world. As a former member of the USA climbing team, Harrington has competed in five U.S. sport climbing championships and two North American championships.
4．What does the underlined word “scale” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Remove.B．Mount.C．Measure.D．Weigh. 5．What does the writer want to impress on the readers in Paragraph 4?
A．The risk of the climbing.B．Harrington’s determination.
C．The meaning of failure.D．Harrington’s expert skills.
6．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Harrington’s achievements.B．US sport climbing events.
C．The climbing team’s arrangements.D．The secret to Harrington’s success. 7．Where is this passage probably taken from?
A．A travel journal.B．A story book.
C．A news report.D．A science magazine.
Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.
“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, if people were better informed about the pollution they’re breathing, they could pressure the government to do something about it.
Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help — the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.
“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it. “Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.
“So,” he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They live here — actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”
So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.
8．What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2?
A．Londoners are very satisfied with it.
B．The government is trying to improve it.
C．Londoners should pay more attention to it.
D．The government has done a lot to improve it.
9．Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London?
A．Because they fly too high.
B．Because they are expensive.
C．Because they fly too quickly.
D．Because they are not allowed.
10．What is the text mainly about?
A．Clean air in London.
B．London’s dirty secret.
C．London’s new pollution fighter.
D．Causes of air pollution in London.
二、其他
11．将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D 和E) 按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

A．A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle (三轮车) race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. B．Experiments have proved that children can be taught swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk.
C．Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they may encourage those among us who cannot swim five meters before coming up for air.
D．Babies of two months old do not appear to be unwilling to enter the water. It is not long before they can get used to swimming so well that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool.
E. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or pull them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once.
三、七选五
How to manage your time
For many high school students it seems that there is never enough time. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
First, make a to-do list every day. It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities(优先的事物). 12 Use spare time wisely. Do you have time for self-study? Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework.13 If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.
Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. Review your notes every day. 14 If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
15 Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory. When you are tired, everything seems more difficult. It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.
Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you.16 you can call your friends later.
A．Set goals for yourself.
B．Get a good night’s sleep.
C．Do the most important tasks first.
D．Also, do not be afraid to say “no”.
E．You should finish your task on time.
F．Don’t take phone calls during the time you set aside for work.
G．Don’t wait until just before a test to try and remember everything.
