My Biggest Challenge

As a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’dalways fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.

I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.

Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.

All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.

And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless. 1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______. A. disappointment in the coming adventure. B. expectation of writing about his experience.

C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered. D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity. 2. What did the author realise during his climb training? A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing. B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak. C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected. D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.

3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain? A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again. B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it. C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it. D.He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.

Over the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.

The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.

Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.

If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.

4. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______. A. strong and heavy B. heavy and fast C. light and fast D. strong and slow 5. How many times will the helicopter fly?

A. Three times B. Four times C. Five times D. Six times 6. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. It’s interesting to fly in another world. B. I' s important to fly in another world. C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well. D. The helicopters first flight is successful. 7. What may be the best title for the passage?

A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020 B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020 C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphere D. To send back records to scientists

C

What will future schools look like in 100 years? Imagine future schools in which students are totally engaged in a class. They are concentrating on working together to solve real-world problems. They are self-driven and are coming up withamazing ideas on the spot. They are concerned with each other’s well-being as part of a team. Their concerns reach far beyond the classroom to others all over the globe.

The school of the future will be an amazing melting pot of different peoples coming together to solve real-world problems.

Will they even be called “schools” in the future?

The teacher-student relationship is changing. Teachers are acting more as helpers rather than keepers of all knowledge. Students are driving their own education to the path that they feel best fits them. In the future, employers may not be as concerned with a diploma. They’ll look more at cases and examples of how students contribute to solving real-world problems. They’ll want to know how well they work in a team.

What will problem-solving look like in the future?

Information from the Internet is accessible everywhere and at unimaginable speeds. Kids are connected to news around the world in real time. Imagine someone could put out a request to the global community to help solve an issue in their own community! Classes can adopt an issue and work with other classes around the world in real time to create solutions.

What will information look like in the future?

It’s already everywhere. Users can get flooded by the constant flow of information. The need to understand what is true and what is not is important. The flipped classroom (翻转课堂) has already completely changed lecture-based lessons. It presents interesting content to students before they even come to class. They can access the Internet as many times as they want to review the lessons. 8. What is the key message of the first paragraph? A. The things students will do in the future school. B. The situation where students will be in the future. C. The attention students will pay to in the classroom. D. The methods students will use to study in the classroom.

9. What will be thought highly of when students solve real-world problems?

A. Respect. B. Patience. C. Teamwork. D. Concern. 10. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. Teachers encourage students to develop leadership. B Students are really relaxed with their heavy study. C. The employers value students’ diplomas most.

D. Students have the right to choose the most suitable lessons. 11. What’s the purpose of the flipped classroom? A. To help students to improve the problem-solving ability. B. To provide the lessons for students to study before or after class. C. To help students to keep in contact with the outside world. D. To help students to understand the most difficult content.

D

Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.

Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.

I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.

Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.

I'm back where I started from.

Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.

Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.

I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.

I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.

When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically. 12. What does this excerpt main describe?

A. Delicate mental activities. B. Unique story environment. C. Everchanging story events. D. Complicated character relationship. 13. What is Sam's first worry?

A. How to get back quickly B. How to get enough venison.

C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful. D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself. 14. What do we know about Frightful?

A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away. C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily. D. He has given birth to babies in the university.

15. Which of the following can best describe Sam? A. Humorous. B. Aggressive. C. Responsible. D. Unrealistic.

I once was a student with poor grades. The low grades gradual decreased my interest of learning. I felt ashamed and disappointing all the time and didn't know what to do with our life. One day, a teacher comes up to me and encouraged me with so persuasive words that I determined to work hard again. Since then, my grades have never dropped below a B, and I've found again the fun in learning and become confident than before.
