In November 2020, US climber Emily Harrington, 34, took on El Capitan — a 3000 foot (914 meters) rock formation（岩层）in Yosemite National Park, US. She accomplished her feat within a day and became the first woman to free-climb the Golden Gate route.
It used to take weeks for rock climbers to reach the top of El Capitan, even with the help of a partner and climbing aids. In recent years, only three people—all men—had free—climbed the Golden Gate route on El Capitan in 24 hours, according to CNN.
Although rock climbing has long been dominated by men, the number of female climbers has been rising in recent years. Even in the pandemic, many of them have made great achievements and pushed human limits.
“I spent a lot of years feeling like I didn’t belong, like maybe I hadn’t earned my place to be a Yosemite climber,” she told the San Francisco Chronicle. “But throughout this experience I learned that there is no belonging or not belonging, no formula to achievement up there.”
The rising number of female climbing enthusiasts should come as no surprise. According to the website Climbing.com, “Climbing is one of the few sports where it’s possible to level the playing field. Women’s flexibility helps offset anything we may lack in strength, bridging the gap between the sexes.”
Legendary Austrian climber Angela Eiter is another strong female figure in the climbing world. In 2020 Eiter made news as she climbed the unknown face she calls Madame Ching in her home country.
According to the New York Post, the route was free of traces. That means Eiter has to search for the holds and predict how the moves were going to play out by herself. Worse still, the rock there is really fragile and some holds had to be fixed with glue. But after intensive indoor training to visualize（构思）the route and build up her strength, Eiter, who stands 154 cm high and weighs 46 kg, made it.
“I am not the strongest woman and I am very small, and I am happy that I can show other women that they can also do it.” she told the New York Post.
As Climbing.com noted, this battle with oneself embodies（体现）the spirit behind the sport. “Maybe that’s why more women feel more empowered to find their own way, break free of the mold（模式）and climb what we want to climb. Women have decided to follow their hearts.”
24. What did Emily Harrington accomplish?
A. She was the first person to take on El Capitan successfully.
B. She reached the top of El Capitan within a day.
C. She free-climbed the Golden Gate route within weeks.
D. She climbed the Golden Gate route with climbing aids.
25. The underlined word “offset” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.
A. bring about B. make up for C. build up D. make for
26. What difficulty did Angela Eiter meet with when climbing Madame Ching?
A. There were no traces to follow.
B. There were no holds to use.
C. Her prediction about the route was wrong.
D. She didn’t bring necessities like glue.
27. What can we learn from Harrington and Eiter?
A. Work hard to be a role model. B. Find where you belong.
C. Always battle others. D. Be brave and pursue your goal.
C
Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives（蜂窝）—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close on each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall（瀑布）instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial（最初的）results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
28. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of ______.
A. loud noises B. some crops C. video cameras D. angry bees
29. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy ______.
A. works by herself in Africa B. needs to test more elephant groups
C. has stopped elephants eating crops D. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
30. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?
A. To record the sound of bees. B. To make a video of elephants.
C. To see if elephants would run away. D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.
31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.
D
I personally think trains are exciting and romantic. I must admit that trains are not important means of transportation in the US, but I do have some experiences with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little entertainment, we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something exciting about the steaming. roaring string of trains coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and louder and finally after their stop crowds of strangers spilling（漏出）onto the platform.
I took my first train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. The train—so loud and violent on the outside—was gentle and rocking inside. We were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.
As a college student, I used to ride an overnight train to my roommate’s hometown. We could never afford a sleeper, so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked until we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed seat.
My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and l took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and trains are not a very important part of my life. Still, every time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel the impulse in my heart to pack my bags and jump on board, entering a unique world of motions, sounds, sights and experiences which just aren’t matched in the dull environment of an airplane.
32. Why did the author feel a little disappointed during the first train trip?
A. Because the train was loud and violent.
B. Because she finally became a passenger.
C. Because she had a high expectation.
D. Because she missed his parents.
33. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. the author’s childhood memory of trains was frightening and disappointing
B. the author no longer makes a trip by train now as a result of its dull environment
C. the author didn’t fall asleep until she found straight-backed seats with her roommate
D. the author thought trains romantic mainly because of the pleasant moment with her husband
34. Which word best describes the author’s feelings when she hears the train whistle now?
A. Eager. B. Embarrassed. C. Romantic. D. Disappointed.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My Love of Trains B. Watching Trains Coming
C. My Memory of Trips D. Trains: My Best Choice

Animals’ abilities are often used to describe people’s personality characteristic. 36 But is there any validity（正确性）to such a statement? That’s the question we’re talking here at Short Wave as part of a series called Animal Slander（诽谤）.
We’re starting with the phrases “blind as a bat” and “memory of a goldfish” because they are problematic. For one, the phrases are often used in a derogatory（贬义的）manner and it is not cool to make fun of people based on their physical or mental abilities. 37
1. Blind as a bat.
People in the U.S. use the phrase “blind as a bat” to laugh at someone for not being able to see well. 38 In fact, there are over 1,300 species of bats and none is truly blind.
Different species of bats rely on their eyesight to varying degrees—often in combination with their sense of smell and echolocation（回声定位法）. 39 They just need their eyes to figure out where they are. And some bats are able to see even better than this. For example, most fruit bats don’t use echolocation at all. They have big eyes that allow them to primarily rely on vision and sense of smell to find fruit.
2. Memory of a goldfish? Maybe you’re not so forgetful after all.
The phrase is that a goldfish’s memory lasts about three seconds. This has been repeatedly proven wrong. Ryan Wong, a professor of biology helped us out with this one. “There are definitely lots of different studies can show that fish have really complex learning abilities and also have the ability to remember information for long periods of time,” Wong says. “ 40 ”
A. However, the phrase is not right at all.
B. Some bats rely heavily on echolocation.
C. And second, the phrases aren’t even true.
D. The goldfishes’ memory can even last for weeks.
E. He researches fish behavior, learning and memory.
F. For instance, if you’re stubborn, you might be called “pig-headed”.
G. Some bats don’t need their eyes to look up close.

Nowadays, more and more youngsters hope to become an internet celebrity by making short-form mobile videos. Last Friday our English club had a debate on the topic. Opinions fell mainly into two groups.
Some students in favour of the idea thought youngsters could show their talents by making the videos. Besides, they believed it could help them gain more confidence.
On the contrary, others were against it. They argued that it may lead the youth to be addicted to the Internet. What’s worse, some young people might feel that success could come from luck but not hard work.
Personally, I’m in favour of the first view. As long as we use the Internet properly, its advantages outweigh its disadvantage.
