【题目】 In March, days before her 15th birthday, Ashima Shiraishi successfully climbed Horizon on Mt. Hiei in Japan. She became the first woman and youngest person ever to solve the “V15” boulder( 攀岩) problem, considered the most difficult type of problem in the sport.

Shiraishi is also the world’s youngest person to solve the V10,V13,and V14 boulder problem, which she did at ages 8, 10, and 13.

“Once I have a project in mind, I don’t really give up,” she said. “And even if my skin is looking really bad from bouldering, I’ll just get back on it.”

The New York City native first got to know the sport at age 6 when she saw park-goers climbing Rat Rock in a city park in New York City. Attracted, she started climbing it every day after school and began training at an indoor climbing gym soon after.

She won her first competition at age 7, competing against grown women climbers.

“It was mostly the movement that really attracted me because it was almost like dancing. It felt like I was dancing on the rock,” she said.

Watching Shiraishi climb is like watching a dance of mental and physical courage. At 5-foot-1 and 100 pounds, she could be considered at a physical disadvantage compared to taller climbers who can reach holds more readily. But she makes up for it with smooth movements that only a climber of small size could make.

“The most important part of climbing is not really thinking at all. Once you start thinking, you doubt yourself, and that’s the worst that could happen to you,” she said.

Shiraishi hopes to compete on the most important stage for sports, the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, where climbing will make its first official appearance.

1When did Shiraishi start climbing?

A.After visiting an indoor climbing gym.

B.After seeing people climbing in a city park.

C.After watching a climbing competition.

D.After reading a news report about climbing.

2What is key to successful climbing according to Shiraishi?

A.Thinking about nothing.B.Encouraging yourself.

C.Receiving a lot of training.D.Entering a lot of competitions.

3Which of the following is Shiraishi’s wish?

A.She can solve the “V15” boulder problem.

B.Climbing will become an Olympic event.

C.She can take part in the Olympic Games.

D.Bouldering will attract more young people.

4What is the text mainly about?

A.A difficult boulder problem.B.The personal life of a teenager.

C.The popularity of bouldering.D.A successful young climber.

【题目】Setting aside for a rainy day

It’s a common regret in life that we spend more than we save---money that could go into a savings account or into a pension. Whatever age you are, it’ s never too late to start thinking about saving for your future. Here are several ways to get you going.

1

It’s hard to know what you can afford to save if you don’t have an accurate budget, so doing this is a key first step. Once you’ve made a record of everything you spend each month and everything you earn, you’ll be able to see how much money you have left.

Get into a regular habit

2 Payday is great as you won’t be tempted (诱惑)to spend the cash. You can also set up a standing order to move money automatically into a savings account each month, so you won’t forget.

3

There are different places you can put your savings, from tax-free ISAs(Individual Saving Accounts) to high-interest current accounts. Wherever you choose, keep an eye on the interest rate. Many have high rates for the first year and drop down afterwards. 4

Set yourself a goal

If you know exactly what you’re saving for, it’s far more likely you’ll keep putting money away. 5It’s also worth thinking about building an emergency fund for unexpected expenditures.

A.The earlier the better.

B.Earn as much interest as you can

C.Find out what you can afford to save

D.If that happens, look to move your money elsewhere.

E.Choose a fixed day each month to put money into savings.

F.If you don’t have much left after bills and essentials, you can use your budget to find ways to cut back.

G.It could be to make sure you’re comfortable in the future and have a relatively high standard of living

【题目】 Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.

Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.

The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer (聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.

While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.

Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.

Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.

1What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Cheapness.B.Durability.

C.Sustainability.D.Transparency.

2Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?

A.Dip the wood into a polymer.B.Reduce the amount of the polymer.

C.Make the wood lignin-free.D.Bake the wood for some time.

3What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?

A.To protect privacy.B.To scale out applications.

C.To get more natural light.D.To observe more clearly.

4What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.The bright future of the transparent wood.

B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.

C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.

D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.
