阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Veteran（经验丰富的）rock climbers are calling her one of the most promising climbers in the world. She flies up, grasping the rock and heading gracefully for practically non-existent（不存在的）holds. She’s only 14. Ashima Shiraishi, the New York-born teen, has shaken up the climbing world. At 1.55 meters and 45 kilograms, Ashima might not look like the groundbreaking athlete. But she could be, though still young, the first female climber whose accomplishments go beyond gender.
The evidence: At just 14, Ashima has already made history in the sport. She won the American National Youth Bouldering Championship（美国青少年攀岩锦标赛）every year from 2010 to 2014. And last March, the young climber completed the “Open Your Mind Direct” course in Spain. It’s a very big deal because the course, with a hold broken off near the top, is widely considered one of the hardest in the world. Only one woman and a small number of men have ever conquered it. She first learned to climb on rocks in Central Park when she was only six. Her father, who works as a dancer, is her coach. At age nine, Ashima went on a bouldering（攀岩）trip to Texas. Falling brought tears to her eyes, but she didn’t give up. Now, she finds she “couldn’t live without climbing.”
For the past six years, Ashima has been a climbing legend. Her love for the sport has taken her around the world. There have been articles and photo spreads（横贯两版的照片）in newspapers and sports magazines, films, countless online video clips, and an appearance on Time Magazine’s list of America’s most influential teenagers.
“I think people are shocked if I do something they can’t do or because I’m still very young and I’m a girl,” Ashima says. “In most sports, men lead the way. But with climbing, who knows, maybe women will be leading. Doing something that a guy can’t do is pretty special.”
1.As for Ashima Shiraishi, we know ________.
A. she is a great young rock climber
B. she can always find climbing holds that don’t exist
C. she doesn’t look like an athlete at all
D. she is the first female climber in the world
2.Which of the following is true about the course “Open your Mind Direct”?
A. Climbers can take the course only in Spain and America.
B. It is not difficult to finish the course.
C. Climbers have to finish it without any holds at near the top.
D. Not many climbers have done well in it.
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. she wants to try other events in sports
B. she wonders why people are shocked
C. she expects to do better in rock climbing
D. she decides to try anything men can do
4.The passage mainly focuses on ________.
A. A Rock Star in the Climbing World
B. The First Female Rock Climber
C. A Most Influential Teenager in America
D. The Champion of American National Youth

Every small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket, and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.
Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum - found her again in the sea off the Azores.
Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed（猛力推）its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly（寒冷的）waters.
But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.
British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.
By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.
He said: “We had been following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the longest time.”
“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location（回声定位）clicks of the adults.”
“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surface. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”
He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’ females had just resurfaced and the calf quite literally began jumping for joy.”
Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.
Sperm whales live in nearly all the world’s oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.
1.The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.
A. the whales B. the divers
C. the photos D. the mothers
2.According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.
A. found its family with his help
B. suffered a lot in the cold waters
C. lost contact with its family for days
D. slammed as a means of communication
3.What do we know about sperm whales?
A. The young are independent.
B. They are highly social animals.
C. They tend to live in warm sea waters.
D. Females take turns to care for babies.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Baby whales perform slamming with joy
B. Sperm whales ---fairly intelligent animals
C. Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its family
D. Slamming--- a way of communication among whales
