That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the th
9、en 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom hed so far shown he had no particular interest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time
10、 in the gym, and proved them wrong. The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150, 000 needed for the record attempt. Then d
11、isaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean. A trip which had intend
12、ed to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been obstructed by melting ice caps. We would get up, battle through these difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than wed started the previous morning, he said. After 14 days tr
13、ying, they admitted defeat. Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against cl
14、imate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that its his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.4How
15、did Liautauds family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic?AThey made fun of it.BThey were puzzled about it.CThey turned a deaf ear to it.DThey tried to talk him out of it.5What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole?AThe lack of funds.BA natural disaster.CThe movement of t
16、he ice.DThe failure of the equipment.6Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North Pole?ATo push his physical limits.BTo support environmental protection.CTo become an experienced North-Poler.DTo finish a research project for his website.7Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as
17、a young man?ADemanding.BGenerous.CResponsible.DCooperative.AI, 5G and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well. China5s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new trend for the e-CNY (电子人民币)trials in the country.
18、 The purpose, Chinas bankers said, is not aimed at taking the place of privately-run payment platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. Instead, this official electronic payment system is being done so that all cash in circulation(流通)can be followed. Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY fe
19、atures anonymity (匿名)and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to users5 personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and their information won5t be revealed to any third-party institutions.
20、E-CNY users privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools. Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After getting the other partys account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to be paid and then enter the password to co
21、mplete the transaction (交易). However, the processes behind these transactions are different. For the existing electronic payments, the money has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the money only when they withdraw it from banks. But e-CNY transactions only need a payer and a rec
22、eiver. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, helps prevent financial crimes and improves the efficiency of transactions. In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered “money”, while electronic payments are like “wallets”. The successful launch of the e-CNY may change the existing market structure,
23、 which is mainly dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay now. The banks may return to a leading position in the digital currency system. But Chinas central bank wont get more money into circulation, since every yuan issued digitally will basically cancel one yuan circulating in physical form.8Why are com
24、mercial banks in China making efforts on e-CNY trials?AThey aim to cut down the use of bank cards.BThey intend to track the cash in circulation.CThey want to get rid of paper currency.DThey plan to replace privately-run payment platforms.9What can users benefit when using e-CNY compared with the exi
25、sting electronic payments?APeople wont worry about their private information exposure.BPeople can finish the transaction without any account.CPeople can do the transaction at a very low fee.DPeople can withdraw money from banks free of charge.10How does Paragraph 3 develop?ABy listing facts.BBy maki
26、ng comparison.CBy giving examples.DBy analyzing cause and effect.11What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?AThe e-CNY will change the existing market structure.BThe e-CNY will shake the position of real paper money.CThe e-CNY in circulation will disturb the normal economy.DThe e-CNY
27、will not change the total amount of money in circulation.Some people can walk into a room and instantly put everyone at ease. Others seem to make teeth clench and eyes roll no matter what they do. A small body of psychology research supports the idea that the way a person tends to make others feel i
28、s a consistent and measurable part of his personality. Researchers call it “affective presence”. This concept was first described nearly 10 years ago in a study led by Noah Eisenkraft, a business professor at Washington University. He put business-school students into groups, had them register for a
29、ll the same classes for a semester, and do every group project together. Then the members of each group rated how much every other member made them feel eight different emotions: stressed, bored, angry, sad, calm, relaxed, happy, and enthusiastic. The researchers found that a significant portion of
30、group members emotions could be accounted for by the affective presence of their peers. Its been known for some time that emotions are infectious. But affective presence is an effect one has regardless of ones own feelingsthose with positive affective presence make other people feel good, even if th
31、ey personally are anxious or sad, and the opposite is true for those with negative affective presence. Unsurprisingly, people who consistently make others feel good are more central to their social networksin Elfenbein, s study, more of their classmates considered them to be friends. Hector Madrid,
32、an organizational-behavior professor, has found that leaders with positive affective presence have teams that are better at sharing information, which leads to creativity. Inferiors are more likely to voice their ideas, too. However, Elfenbein notes that positive affective presence isnt naturally go
33、od. Neither is negative affective presence necessarily always a bad thing in a leaderthink of a football coach yelling at the team at halftime, motivating them to make a comeback. She suspects that affective presence is closely related to emotional intelligence which one can use to cure cancer or to
34、 be a criminal mastermind.12What does the underlined phrase “make teeth clench” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMake people nervous.BMake people glad.CMake people comfortable.DMake people calm.13Why does the author mention Elfbnbeins study in Paragraph 4?ATo suggest leaders are better at sharing information.BT
35、o prove leaders also have negative affective presence.CTo indicate people with positive affective presence are creative.DTo show positive affective presence can promote social interaction.14What does Elfenbein think of “affective presence”?AIt is for motivating others.BIt is a double-edged sword.CIt
36、 is affected by ones own emotion.DIt is the positive emotional influence on others.15Which could be the best title for the text?AAffective Presence: Secret Part of Your PersonalitiesBEmotional Signature: Why Emotions are InfectiousCAffective Presence: How You Make People FeelDEmotional Intelligence:

40、ical (按字母顺序排列的), with names alternating between male and female.
