8、was just five when her parents divorced, dropped her at her uncles and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape.At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. As the only girl in the boys team, Wangs performances were impressive, earning her the

9、nickname “Iron Girl.” And soon, she sensed the sports power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.”However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her h

10、opes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. “They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so.” Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team, aged 17, Wang thought, “Me? Are you sure?” When a world-famous club wanted to s

11、ign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good.” It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as Chinas once-in-a-generation player.China is a pioneer of wo

12、mens football in Asia and has won the continental championship eight times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined. It is hoped that Wang will inspire the womens football of the country to its former height.Coaches ar

13、e almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldnt stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball, she

14、delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the last-four clash (四分之一决赛).“Nobody knows how hard it was,” declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team.”4What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph?A

17、ly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact betwe

18、en the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种).With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids arent better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to se

19、arch for a broader range of food sources, ” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudd

20、en fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat mea

21、ls such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could re

22、sult in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.“Were having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad

23、but necessary compromise given current warming trends.”8Why do polar bears move further south?ATo create hybrids.BTo expand territory.CTo relieve hunger.DTo contact grizzlies.9What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents?ABroader habitats.BMore food options.CClim

Lithium-ion batteries, whose demand continues to go up day by day, are us

26、ed in a wide range of electronic devices. They are made of four main components, and cathode （阴极） is one of them. The cathodes active material type is what determines the capacity of a battery.A recent study, led by Wang Yan, a material scientist of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, finds that lithiu

27、m-ion batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes.“The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade. This high demand has led companies to go to extremes, like increasing deep-sea mining, to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteri

28、es, ” Wang said. “Mining minerals will have environmental impacts. Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out. ”But until now, the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers （制造商） worrying that it could impact performance. Thus, lithium-ion batte

29、ries are still not widely recycled. Aware of decreasing resources and environmental impact, Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling lithium-ion batteries economically practical. Through experiments, they could recover more than 90% of the key metals from spent batteries. T

30、hese recovered metals became the basis of the new recycled batterys cathodes active material.In tests between Wangs teams recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition, the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity. It took 11, 600 charge c

31、ycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity. That was about 50 percent better than the 7, 600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries, the team reported. Those thousands of extra cycles could translate into years of better battery performance, even after repe

32、ated use and recharging.12What can we learn about lithium-ion batteries from the first paragraph?AThey are high in price.BThey are in great demand.CThey are limited in use.DThey are simple in composition.13What does Wang mainly talk about in paragraph 3?AThe target users of recycled batteries.BThe w

33、ays to get minerals for batteries.CThe major reasons for recycling batteries.DThe complex process of recycling batteries.14What are the manufacturers concerned about?ADeclining mineral resources.BDifficult recycling techniques.CSerious environmental problems.DInefficient battery performance.15Which

What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods? Well, though its budget-saving, this option i

36、s too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area, passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.Air trips:Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended, there are still a few people traveling between th

37、e two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking, but of course its rare, and that doesnt include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.* One-way fares from Paris can be as low as 49;* From London, Air France flies with fares as low as 39

42、ed.As a boy, I wanted to go tothe South Pole. As a teenager, I decided Id like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I havent done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to theArctic.I was traveling with a filmcrew from Northern Ireland, following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who, inthe

43、1850s, sailed from Scotland to the Arctic. As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world.As we sailed north, icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat. Finally, we reached our destinationEnglish Bay, where Dufferin landed- and ste

44、pped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach.This was what Id dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. However, for many early polar explorers, the results were far less pleasant. The south, in particular, was source of extremedanger.My childhood interest in theSouth Pole was fueled by the u

45、nsuccessful yet heroic adventures of EmestShackleton. He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. Thestories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known: he and four companions diedon their way back from the South Pole.So why do explorers put themselves at suchrisk?Much of it seems to l

46、ie inthe purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that hadbeen “unreached and unseen by humans.” “With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets ofinconceivableextent, you have the feeling of living over the control of death,” saidFridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer.On

47、the homeward journey theweather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm. Weexperienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power ofnature.
