Recovering from the crash nearly destroyed her, but she refused to let her injuries hold her back.To prove to herself just how unlimited her possibilities are, Ennis set a goal: become the first veteran (老兵)amputee to complete the Seven Summits-the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.But Ennis climbing journey isnt just about the mountains.

Every mountain teaches me something different. Now I have to use all of those skill sets to be able to deal with Everest. Should I summit, history will be made as the first woman above knee amputee to do so.

The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant. Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the companys Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2020.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scouts development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location，however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.28. What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests. B. The so-called last mile. C. Robots safety. D. Delivery speed.29. What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler. B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role. D. It will be widely used soon.30. What does the underlined phrase prior to in paragraph 4 mean?A. Before. B. After. C. In front of. D. Due to.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine. C. A newspaper. D. A travel brochure.DScientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles(颗粒)in Arctic snow. Their findings provide more evidence that plastic is entering Earths atmosphere and traveling great distances around the planet.A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland. When the researchers examined the samples in a lab, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. Other studies have found microplastics in the environment. They come from the disposal and breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample(标本)from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.Earlier studies found signs of plastic in Arctic areas. Those microplastics were found in coastal areas, sea ice, the seafloor and the seawaters surface. The new study attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities. including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.The research team discovered many kinds of microplastics. Some were from paints commonly used to coat the surface of automobiles and ships. A rubber-like substance was also found that could have come from vehicle or boat parts or packaging materials.While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals.32. How did scientists feel when knowing the levels of microplastics in Arctic?A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Excited. D. Astonished.33. Which is right concerning microplastics?A. Scientists are examining the exact level of microplastics.B. Scientists are reducing the concerns of microplastics.C. Microplastics have been discovered in Arctic for the first time.D. Scientists have researched about the spread of microplastics.34. What are scientists eager to uncover?A. The degree of influence on Dongguan.B. The influence of microplastic on humans.C. The content of microplastic in the seafloor.D. The measures to rid microplastic effectively.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Microplastics around the World B. Microplastics, a New PollutionC. High Levels of Microplastics in Arctic D. Great Concern about Microplastics in Arctic第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Beach CampingHeading to the beach this summer? Ready for a coastal vacation? 36 .
