My Biggest Challenge

As a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’dalways fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.

I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.

Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.

All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.

And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless. 1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______. A. disappointment in the coming adventure. B. expectation of writing about his experience.

C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered. D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity. 2. What did the author realise during his climb training? A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing. B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak. C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected. D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.

3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain? A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again. B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it. C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it. D.He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.

Shanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.

In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.

TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.

Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical building.

In recent years,China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildingsrazedto clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.

Shanghaihas beenChina’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a

number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to beShanghai’s most complex relocation project to date. 4. How did the primary school get moved? A. By reducing the weight of it. B. By using movable supports. C. By dividing it into several parts. D. By using robotic legs.

5. What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A. Replaced. B. Burnt. C. Protected. D. Destroyed.

6. What can we infer about the heritage preservation inChina? A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern. B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage. C.A number of old buildings have been given new life. D. Many historic buildings will be relocated. 7. What is the passage mainly about?

A. New preservation campaigns are launched inChina. B. New technology gives new life to historic buildings. C. A building inShanghai“walks” to a new location. D. “Walking machine” makes heritage protection simpler.

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived atHeathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our

own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.

When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch theskaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caughta few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”

“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.

C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?

A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry! 10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days 11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children's health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children.

Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.

Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”

“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.

Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.

Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up. 12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?

A. It is an icy comet. B. It looks like a long photo.

C. It is actually some sort of rock. D. It may come from another alien civilization. 13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Goes against. B. Relies on. C. Turns to. D. Searches for. 14. What do you think of Loeb?

A. He is foolish. B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.

C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth. D. He is uncertain about his career future. 15. What's the best title for the text?

A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships? B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory? C. Scientists Are Working on High Technology D. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
