Growing up on the Guanzhong Plain, He Jing didn't start mountaineering until 18. Her first climb, in 2006, was in the Qinling Mountains, and it sparked a passion for the sport.
In 2012, feeling sad for the loss of her grandmother, He attempted her first mountain over 5, 000 meters Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province. The experience provided her with a sense of peace and relief. “As I approached the summit(顶峰) and saw the rosy light on the snow, I found peace and a release from my inner confusion,” she recalled.
Since then, He has been devoted to climbing high-altitude peaks. She summited her first 8,000-meter peak, Mount Cho Oyu, in 2016, using just one bottle of oxygen. Realizing she could handle the extreme altitude(海拔), she decided to attempt future climbs without oxygen, a move partly motivated by cost savings. Climbing without oxygen carries significant risks due to the thin atmosphere at high altitudes. To prepare, He trained strictly, running at least five times a week, climbing 200 flights of stairs with a 20-kilogram load twice weekly, and using an oxygen-restricting mask to simulate high-altitude conditions.
“At altitudes above 8, 000 meters, the human brain experiences extreme lack of oxygen, and the body becomes sleepy. I kept telling myself not to fall asleep, as I might never wake up again,” she said. Her first successful summit without bottled oxygen came on Sept.25, 2017, when she reached the top of Mount Manaslu in Nepal.
On Oct.9 this year, she reached the summit of the 8, 027-meter Mount Shishapangma in China's Xizang autonomous region, becoming the first person from China and the third woman in the world to scale all 14 of the world's peaks over 8, 000 meters without the use of additional oxygen.
24. What motivated He to attempt her climbing in 2012
A. Her enthusiasm for climbing.
B. Her desire to challenge herself.
C. Her sorrow for losing her grandmother.
D. Her determination to handle the extreme altitude.
25. How did He prepare herself for climbing without additional oxygen
A. By running four or five times a week.
B. By training in high-altitude conditions.
C. By climbing stairs with loads regularly.
D. By wearing a mask with adequate oxygen.
26. Which of the following words best describe He
A. Energetic and sociable. B. Determined and passionate.
C. Demanding and humble. D. Strong-willed and friendly.
27. What does He's experience tell us
A. Look before you leap. B. More haste(匆忙), less speed.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Grass-powered gas is set to heat thousands of homes for the first time in the coming weeks. Energy firm Ecotricity is expected to begin supplying gas to 5,300 homes from its plant near Reading through the distribution company Southern Gas Networks in April. Research has estimated that the gas can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) release by nearly 90 percent. It is hoped that the plan can be expanded to supply fuel to more homes around the country.
The 11 million plant uses bacteria to break down grasses and herbs, which absorb CO2 while growing, in certain containers. This produces biogas which is then upgraded to biomethane (生物甲烷) for use in the gas network. An organic fertiliser, which is intended to help grow more grass, is also produced.
Ecotricity owner Dale Vince hopes to expand across the country, building plants which reduce the use of conventional fuels while avoiding damage to the environment, and boost energy security.
Green gas has previously been made from food waste or “high-energy” crops such as corn, but both face sustainability issues and problems with a lack of size. “Our mix of grass and herbs makes carbon neutral (中性的) gas, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere,” said Mr. Vince. “It’s a cycle of carbon rather than net zero release.”
Asked about Ecotricity’s biomethane project, a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesman said: “Initiatives like this show how the UK is leading in the development of innovations in green technologies that can help increase our energy security, tackle climate change and bring down people’s bills.”
A spokesman for Southern Gas Networks said: “We’ve partnered with Ecotricity to deliver the biomethane to a project at a site in Farley Hill near Reading. The project will supply 5,300 nearby properties with renewable green gas for heat and power, helping to reduce each household’s annual carbon release by about 2.2 tonnes.”
28. What is the feature of the gas from Ecotricity’s plant
A. It is eco-friendly. B. It is cost-effective.
C. It is free of carbon. D. It is easy to produce.
29. Which aspect of the plant is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its financial state. B. Its technical process.
C. Its expected outcome. D. Its breakdown system.
30. What is the disadvantage of previous green gas
A. Insufficient security. B. Contribution to food waste.
C. Dependence on old fuels. D. Unsustainable development.
31. Why are the spokesmen’s words cited in the last two paragraphs
A. To prove the project’s success. B. To emphasize the broad support.
C. To explain the project’s potential. D. To discuss environmental benefits.
D
There have been fires in every Australian state, but New South Wales has been hardest hit. Fires have torn through bushland (未开垦的丛林地带), wooded areas, and national parks. Some start and are controlled in a few days, but the biggest fires have been burning for months.
Each year there is a fire season during the Australian summer, with hot, dry weather making it easy for fires to start and spread. Natural causes are responsible for fires most of the time, like lightning hits in drought-affected forests. Dry lightning was to blame for starting a number of fires in late December, which then traveled more than 20 kilometers in just five hours. Humans can also be responsible. Police have charged(指控) at least 24 people with starting bushfires on purpose, and have taken action against 183 people for setting fire since November.
The fire season in Australia is always dangerous — the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires killed 173 people in Victoria, making it the deadliest bushfire disaster on record. But conditions have been unusually bad this year, making fires burn more strongly and making firefighting conditions particularly difficult. Australia is experiencing one of its worst droughts over the years. Meanwhile, a heatwave in December broke the record for the highest nationwide average temperature, with some places under temperatures well above 40 degrees Celsius. Strong winds have also made the fires and smoke spread more rapidly, and have led to deaths.
About half a billion animals have been affected by the fires across NSW, with millions possibly dead — and that’s lower than what is probably the real number. That number of total animals influenced could be as high as one billion nationwide. Almost a third of koalas in NSW may have been killed in the fires, and a third of the places where they live have been destroyed.
Some animals, like koalas, aren’t in any immediate danger of extinction (灭绝) because they are spread out across the country. But others that live in more suitable environments with lower populations, including certain types of frogs and birds, could be destroyed entirely if their home is hit by the fires.
32．What do we know about fires in Australia
A．They may last a long time. B．They often happen in winter.
C．They only happen in NSW. D．They are easily controlled in a few hours.
33．What does the underlined word “heatwave” probably mean
A．Big fire. B．Strong wind.
C．Serious drought. D．A period of hot weather.
34．Why aren’t koalas in danger of extinction at once
A．They can run fast. B．They live far and wide.
C．Their home is well protected. D．They have a lower population.
35．What does the author intend to tell in the passage
A．Deadly bushfires affect the life of humans and animals.
B．Many causes have contributed to the bushfires in Australia.
C．Some species are endangered because of the frequent fires.
D．More firm measures should be taken to control the fires.

It was a thrilling basketball game, with the stadium filled with crowds from two schools. During the match, Jack’s team faced a tough challenge. They were behind by a wide margin (差距). But with Jack’s leadership and the team’s spirit of unity, they managed to make a comeback and win the game in the last minute. It was a moment of teamwork and perseverance.
After the exciting game of basketball, Jack and his teammates were eager to celebrate their victory. As they gathered around the court, Jack noticed a small, shining object in the grass. Curious, he bent down to pick it up and realized it was a gold ring with a letter “H” on it.
Jack’s heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anything so valuable before. His teammates noticed his excitement and crowded around to see what he had found. Some of them whispered excitedly, while others looked at each other, uncertain what to do. Should they keep the ring as a souvenir of their victory or return it to its rightful owner. As the students hesitated on the playground, the ring shone brightly in the sun, as if it possessed some mysterious power that guided him towards the right path.
He and his teammates began to search for the owner on the busy playground, but with so many people around, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead, they decided to take the ring to the school’s Lost and Found, hoping that the owner would come to look for it.
On their way to the Lost and Found, Jack unexpectedly bumped into a visiting player (客队球员) who was looking around anxiously. Jack walked up to the boy and asked if he was looking for something. He said that he had lost a gold ring during the basketball game. He also explained that the ring was a gift from his grandfather and that it was a symbol of honor. It’s a meaningful gold ring with a letter “H” on it.
