He’d spent seven hours climbing up Mount Qomolangma through ice and snow and now an exhausted Daniel Mazur sensed that success was near. It was 7: 30 a. m., Daniel climbed onto a narrow ledge (岩架) to rest with his teammates. Suddenly, Daniel saw a flash of bright yellow to his left. Was it a tent He thought. The yellow blur moved again, and it was a man sitting cross-legged trying to change his shirt.
Hall, who had been alone on the mountain since 7: 30 the night before, had no supply with him now. He and his teammates had reached the summit at nine that morning. When they started on their descent (下山), Hall’s feet had stopped moving and he was overcome by a deep exhaustion at 28, 000 feet. He appeared to be dead. Checking one last time for signs of life when there was no response, his teammates gathered his backpack, food, water, and extra oxygen and left him.
Daniel’s team got Hall away from the cliff’s edge. They helped him back into his snowsuit and shared their food and water. Daniel radioed down to high base camp, and asked people for help. It was almost noon when a team finally arrived to help take Hall down the mountain.
“It’s such a personal challenge--once you’re up there, you feel as though you could do anything,” he says. “Sure, I wish I could have reached the summit again. But there’s no way we could have left Hall on that ridge (山脊). If we’d done that, chances are that he wouldn’t be alive today. And I would have to live with that for the rest of my life.”

As the novel coronavirus outbreak interrupts businesses and everyday life for billions around the globe, massive conferences have moved online. The new form creates numerous technical and organizational challenges, but it also offers opportunities--for reaching wider audiences, reducing the carbon footprint of meeting travel and improving diversity. For some meetings, the switch may be lasting.
The scientific community is “making lemonade out of lemons,” an expert says. “Scientists are making use of a situation that’s really quite horrible and providing people a way to connect.”
In many ways, virtual conferences offer a better experience, says Altman, associate director of the Stanford Institute for AI. Altman’s institute had planned an in person conference in April, but COVID-19 forced organizers to change it. They threw together a virtual conference to discuss how AI can help scientists fight the ongoing pandemic. The event was a great success. The original conference would have drawn a few hundred attendees, but 30,000 people watched the online version.
Altman says the virtual environment allowed hosts to better control the flow of discussion and questions from the audience. By privately messaging one another behind the scenes, they were able to make adjustments. During the audience question period, the hosts didn’t open up the virtual floor for anyone to speak. Instead, they asked the audience to type their questions and screen the most insightful ones.
Scientists acknowledge that virtual conferences can’t completely replace the conference experience. Virtual meetings might lose some of their appeal once stay-at-home requirements loosen. Even so, the success of some scientists further strengthens the society’s march toward virtual meetings.
8．What does the underlined phrase “making lemonade out of lemons” refer to
A．Working tirelessly to fight the pandemic.
B．Taking advantage of the difficult situation.
C．Doing research on how to make lemonade.
D．Committing themselves to their conferences.
9．What could prove the virtual conference mentioned in paragraph 3 successful
A．A larger audience. B．Better arrangement.
C．Environmental friendliness. D．Beating the ongoing pandemic.
10．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A．Provide some advice for the hosts.
B．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C．Introduce a new topic for the audience.
D．List some advantages of virtual conferences.
11. In which section of a newspaper does this text probably appear
A. Business B. Opinion C. Culture D. Travel
D
Humans across the planet were once hunter-gatherers, with insects widely featuring on the menu. Studies have shown that early humans used tools made of bone to dig into termite mounds(白蚁丘).
Later, it quickly became obvious that, when it came to the needs of a growing human population, keeping animals on farms was far more beneficial than catching and eating insects. Farm animals delivered high yields of meat and milk products; provided skins, wool and fur for clothing; and were useful as a means of transport. They were also far more reliable in comparison to the unpredictability and seasonality of insects—particularly in colder countries, such as the UK, where many species hibernate(冬眠)or die in winter. Insects were soon degraded as pests that threatened food production, rather than being considered a source of food themselves.
Our current eating habits are harming the planet. Food production is responsible for almost 60 percent of global biodiversity loss, and contributes to overfishing, climate change and water shortages. Insects offer a promising alternative to a low-ecological-footprint diet: They are genetically very different from humans, so viruses are unlikely to make the jump; they produce only small amounts of greenhouse gas, compared to livestock; they can be fed on organic waste, such as vegetable peelings; and they require only tiny quantities of water. We simply need to accept that eating them is OK.
But a dislike of eating bugs is a largely western phenomenon. Two billion people across South America, Asia and Africa currently eat insects regularly and generally always have done that. Their choice to consume something with six legs rather than four has nothing to do with a lack of alternative food options or income—many are even considered delicious food. Ants, for example, are highly sought after in many parts of the world, and dozens of grasshopper species are consumed across the globe.
While there isn’t enough science yet to conclude the environmental impact of large-scale insect consumption, there is certainly research to demonstrate the huge environmental benefit that eating insects has in comparison to our over consumption of meat and dairy.
12. Which is NOT the advantage of keeping animals on farms
A．Changing with the seasons. B．Serving as means of transport.
C．Providing materials for clothes. D．Giving high output of meat and dairy.
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. Insects are more reliable than farm animals.
B. Humans are less likely to get virus infection by eating insects.
C. People currently eat insects because of a lack of alternative food options or income.
D．It has been concluded that insect consumption has a great effect on environment.
14. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Bad Effects on the Planet B．A Dislike of Eating Insects
C．Putting Insects on the Menu D．Benefits from Keeping Animals
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards eating insects
A．Disapproving. B．Supportive. C．Ambiguous. D．Sympathetic

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”. 16 So are you one of them
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 17 What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I’m not available for chatting at the moment.”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make a breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this exact moment, the slightest disturbance would interrupt(打断) your work. 18 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
19 It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do, their “Yes. Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 20 And they are changing our social habits along the way.
A．Outside life is shut out.
B．Our high-tech tools are changing quickly.
C．I also have wires hanging from my ears.
D．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
E．I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.
F．After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
G．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
