The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the
opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final
mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the
crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether. I’d climb
Mt.Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not
for an oldfriend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of thegreatest mysteries. In 1999,
he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who
disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s
partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing
world has been wondering whether they might have reached the topin 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced
equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the
planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped
my hat, not just toMallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the driveto push himselfor herself up
this route. My search was in vain, but Ibegan to reconsider Mt.Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared
route information, weatherforecasts, and family photos —all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to
get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always
been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt.
Qomolangma.
24.Whydid theauthoronce hateclimbing Mt. Qomolangma?
A. Becausethe mountainwas overcrowded.
B. Because his original climbinggoal changed.
C. Because climbingit became aprofit-driven industry.
D. Becausehe had to brave theelements onthemountain.
25.What motivated theauthorto climb Mt. Qomolangma later?
A. Theinfluence ofThom Pollard.
B. The resultsof theprevious climbing.
C. The development ofadvanced equipment.
D. Thespiritof George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
26.What does theunderlined phrase “tipped my hat”in paragraph 3mean?
A. Relieved mytiredness. B. Showed my respect.
C. Expressed mygratitude. D. Proved mydetermination.
27.What messagedoes thepassage mainly convey?
A. Thesearch for missingadventurers holdsgreat value.
B. Modern climbing lacks respect forthenatural environment.
C. Spiritsofthe climbers ofMt. Qomolangmaare worth respect.
D. Experienced climbers arequalified to conquer Mt.Qomolangma.

With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people

Compared with tightly scheduled routes and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free,
casual experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with
no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media
platforms.
On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about
citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with
72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from
lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks
increased 30 times from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse into the culture and
landscape indifferent historical stages, as well as itsbeautiful natural scenery,”it said.
Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province,
Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all
about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of
slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that Irelate toso much,” hesaid.

Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have
developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor—using three basic, inexpensive
materials: water, cement, and asoot(煤灰),which can carry electricity.
Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some
important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium ( 锂) battery and don’t
experience the same level of performance decline over time. But supercapacitors also release the
power they store rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops or
electric cars where asteady supplyof energy isneededover an extended period oftime.
Yet according to Stefaniuk, these supercapacitors could make an important contribution to
efforts to reduce carbon emissions and make the global economy more environmentally friendly. “If
it can be scaled up, the technology can help solve an important issue—the storing of renewable
energy,” hesays.
He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors.
One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars
wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would
allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using
supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only
support the structurebut also storeenergy.
"But it's still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can
only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light for 30
hours. The power might seem low compared to regular batteries, but a foundation made from 30-40
cubic meters of this material could meet the daily energy needs of a house," says Stefaniuk. "Since
this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and
useful forenergy storage.
32.What might be an advantage of supercapacitors?
A. They require littlecare.
B. They are lighterin design.
C. They release power in astablemanner.
D. They continueto work effectively over time.
33.How does theauthorhighlight theapplication of supercapacitors?
A. By providing examples. B. By giving instructions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect.

Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall
asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. ____36____. So
people having troublefalling asleep always wonder howthey can sleep well.

worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to
focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the
brain positivelyassociates musicwith sleep.
____39____. Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear
answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used
either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our school holds an annual book fair each January, where new and used books are available
for students to purchase. Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor for it. Traditionally, the
tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that
Mr.Egan consulted our teacher,Ms. Cates, for suggestions as towho would be the student directors,
and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was
even more surprised when hetold methat thestudent Iwould beworking with was Charlie Lyons.
Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since
we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other.
Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. Considering that event, I was
shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match.At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we
divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the
volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were
both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between
us.
With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help
me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr.Egan,
the friends who volunteered to help, and me,we would bejustfine.
Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the
progress hewas making, but each timehisresponse was, "Everything's cool."
On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his
hands, surrounded bya million boxes ofbooks. Iasked him, "Charlie, what's wrong?"
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Heresponded in despair,"Therearealotmorebooks herethan Iexpected."
Afterthe bookfairwas over,I couldn'tstop wondering whyMr.Egan put us together.
