The view from the top was breathtaking. It was 2023 and I had just climbed the Hvannadals Peak in Iceland, almost seven years after becoming paralyzed from the chest down after a climbing fall. My two teammates and I were on our way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe’s largest ice cap, the mighty Vatnaj kull glacier, unsupported and unassisted.
A year before, when Niall McCann first suggested making the 100–mile trip, I was excited by the prospect of returning to this lost world of crevasses(冰裂缝), mountains and ice, but upset and anxious about whether I’d struggle. Back then, I still would have given anything for my legs to work and to be able to walk again. But I was eager for adventure and signed on to do the trip with McCann, who had broken his back when paragliding, and EdJackson, a former professional rugby player who had broken his neck in 2017.
This was going to be the toughest challenge of my life. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization—and closer to the man I'd once been.
My mind drifted to the last time I was on a mountain before my accident, climbing Monte Rosa in the Italian Alps and feeling the addictive mixture of excitement and trepidation. Those same emotions returned as we battled through powerful storms and hidden crevasses before we reached the ice cap's highest point.
I was at the top when I was hit by an unexpected wave of emotion. I realized that, despite all that I had been through—all the challenges and setbacks I had faced—if someone asked me if I wanted my legs back, I would have said no. That moment affected every aspect of my life and the way I perceived my disability. No longer did I consider myself disabled or injured, because, if I could reach the summit of a remote ice cap, I could overcome the frustrations and setbacks of day-to-day life with resilience and persistence. Yes, I do still have a life-changing injury—but, for me, it's been for the better.
24. What can you know about the team
A. It got assistance from an organization. B. Its members all had a form of disability.
C. It followed the steps of a similar previous team. D. It consisted of people paralyzed down the chest.
25. What might have really caused the writer to hesitate about the trip
A. His paralyzed legs. B. Fear of potential danger.
C. The lost world of ice. D. Lack of proper equipment.
26. What's does the underlined word “trepidation” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Fear. B. Bravery.
C. Happiness. D. Disappointment.
27. What did the writer think of his injury after he made it to the top
A. It left him nothing but all setbacks. B. It caused his unexpected bad emotion.
C. He wouldn't know his potential otherwise. D. He was tortured by the frustrations it caused.
C
A massive crack through Africa is set to split the continent into two and form Earth's sixth ocean, an entirely new sea from Ethiopia to Mozambique, scientists have warned.
The so-called Eastern African Rift(东非大裂谷) formed at least 22 million years ago but has shown activity over the last few decades. Ken Macdonald, a professor, said, “What we do not know is if this rifting will continue on its present pace to eventually open up an ocean basin, like the Red Sea. Or might it speed up At the present rate, a sea about the size of the current Red Sea, might form in about 20-30 million years.”
Eastern African Rift System (EARS) stretches from the Gulf of Aden in the north to Zimbabwe in the south. Researchers believe EARS is growing larger because two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It likely formed because of heat flowing up from the hotter, weaker, upper part of Earth's mantle(地幔). Now, a study found that a massive eruption of super-heated rock coming up from our planet's core is driving the rifting.
Geophysicist D. Sarah Stamps compared a rifting continent’s different deformation styles with playing with Silly Putty(黏土玩具).“If you hit Silly Putty with a hammer, it can actually crack and break,” said Stamps. “But if you slowly pull it apart, the Silly Putty stretches. So on different time scales, Earth's lithosphere(岩石圈) behaves in different ways.”
The recent crack in 2018 is being debated among the scientific community, as some believe it is showing the separation in real time, while others believe such progression is impossible. One resident named Eliud claimed he saw the crack run through his home. And he could only collect some of his belongings before his house collapsed. Damages were seen on a busy road in Kenya.
28. What is the potential outcome if the rifting continues at its current pace
A. Immediate formation of a large ocean. B. Rapid formation of new mountain ranges.
C. Complete closure of the Eastern African Rift. D. Creation of an ocean equivalent to the Red Sea.
29. What contributes to the crack of Eastern African Rift System
A. The stretches of the Gulf of Aden. B. The eruption of super-heated rock.
C. The crashes of moving tectonic plates. D. The split of weaker part of Earth’ score.
30. Why does Sarah mention the Silly Putty in paragraph 4
A. To stress the flexibility of continents more. B. To better introduce the behaviors of players.
C. To further analyze the formation of continents. D. To vividly explain how rifting continent changes.
31. What might be the attitude of the scientists toward the real -time rifting
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Contradictory. D. Optimistic.
D
Have you ever worried that you might smell bad Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations.
In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body's metabolic (新陈代谢) processes and are excreted(排泄) through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them.
VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces(粪便). A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband's scent 12 years before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Known as “the woman who can smell Parkinson's,” Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab test to diagnose the illnesses.
Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these scents are often undetectable to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different scents when something is wrong.
The relationship between VOCs, and our health is still being studied. Professor Morin and her team are investigating whether skin VOC signatures can reveal personal attributes. They have already shown that they can predict a person's age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile.
In one interview, Professor Morin stated, “We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease.”
So, who knows—maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device.
32. What do we learn about the VOCs according to the passage
A. The VOCs are primarily composed of sweat.
B. Our body's metabolic processes are the source of VOCs.
C. Skin VOCs cannot reveal our age and gender up to now.
D. VOCs only released from our skin indicate health status.
33. Why does the author mention animals like dogs in paragraph 4
A. To argue we should rely more on animals.
B. To show the superior intelligence of animals.
C. To highlight VOCs’ potential as diagnostic markers.
D. To illustrate they have the capability to detect cancers.
34. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs
A. Devices that can breathe disease-causing VOCs.
B. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases.
C. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs.
D. Advanced facilities that can change VOC to improve health.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. The Role of Sweat in Human Health. B. Linus Pauling's Contributions to VOCS.
C. Smell of Body Contributing to Diseases. D. Detecting Diseases through Body Scents.

One day, Grace brought cakes to school for the whole class. She said, “My mom made these cakes because she is a ‘gorilla’ (大猩猩) .”
Seeing everyone was confused, Grace handed Ms. King a note. Ms. King wrote the words on the blackboard: Gorilla Goodness. Grace explained that it was a club for adults, with its members regularly practicing acts of kindness . Grace added that her mother had joined the club and practiced the kindness by making cakes for kids and the old people.
Hearing that, one student suggested setting up their own club. That was how the School's Gorillas Goodness started. In the following days, everyone except Todd did something kind to people around.
And when everyone gathered, doing something kind, Todd would dance around, shouting, scratching his body like a gorilla, and saying, “Ooh—ooh! Look at me. I’m a big, stupid gorilla who tries to please everyone!” Hearing this, Grace and her teammates were annoyed.
One Saturday, Ms. King told the kids that Todd's dog had died the day before and that Todd was at home feeling sad. Ms. King encouraged them to visit Todd. Grace wasn't happy. She raised her hand, replying, “But Todd makes fun of us so much.”
“Maybe he’s felt left out,” said Ms. King. “Did any of you ever ask Todd if he’d like to join your newly-built club ” The kids shook their heads and thought Todd a bad boy. “The School’s Gorillas Goodness would see good within everyone,”Ms. King added. Hearing the words, the kids tried to decide what to do. Even though Todd had been bad, they all felt pity for him. The dead dog was his only friend. “I know!” said Grace. “My mom would be happy to take us to the pet shelter to find a new dog for Todd!”
The next day, all members of the School's Gorillas Goodness went to Todd's house. Todd looked sad and lonely. “We come to make you a Goodness Gorilla of our school!” said Grace. “Why ” Todd asked. One kid said Todd had been friendly in the first grade. Another said Todd was funny and he could bring us laughter.
