You dont have to hike or even get out of your car to appreciate this waterfall, but the most complete view of the falls is from the start of the Yosemite Falls hike, along the route on the left side of the river. You can walk right to the base of the falls wit
3、h minimal effort and feel the mist sweeping over you.Half DomeHalf Dome is one of Yosemites most famous sites and particularly well-known in the climbing world for being one of the first “big climbs”. This granite icon looks much different depending on the angle you arc viewing it from. Looking up a
4、t the sheer rock face from the valley, the enormity of the wall is obvious, and you can appreciate why climbers have been drawn here. The best place to view it is from the lookout at Glacier Point. From here, you get a true picture of the rock and how much higher it stands than the surrounding mount
5、ains.El CapitanPopular among climbers, El Capitan is a 3,000-foot sheer rock face on the north side of Yosemite Valley. Although it may not seem like it, El Capitan is actually 1,000 feet higher than the face of Half Dome. El Capitan gained interest with the free solo climb of Alex Honnold in June o
6、f 2017, and the Academy Award winning documentary film, Free Solo. He became the first person to climb El Capitan without ropes, and completely unaided.Tunnel ViewThe most classic view of Yosemite Valley is from Tunnel View. This vista, which will feel very familiar to most visitors, stretches out t

So I have the unusual body shape, a size 6 everywhere else and a size 12 in my waist.Growing up, Id always loved fashion, but in my later teens, I really discovered my styleclassic modem. Wh
11、en I was 18 years old, I became a part-owner of a racehorse and now I have shares in several horses. As I started going lo the races, I started posting more on social media, including the outfits I was wearing. I was doing it just for fun but then people became more interested. The dressing up, howe
12、ver, got even more extravagant and cost much when I started competing in Fashions on the Field.Finding outfits that fitted my body shape while also keeping with my style became increasingly hard. Eventually, my mum went from just changing my clothes to sewing complete outfits, which also helped us s
13、ave a lot of money. Thanks to her effort, I first won Fashions on the Field last year in a white and black dress. This year I made the top 10 in Myer Fashion.I was the only person with a physical disability to compete in Myer Fashion this year. I was also named in Vogue Australia as one of the best
14、racing styles from Myer Fashions. After that, I got a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in marketing and advertising, at Curtin University, where I discovered my passion for digital marketing.As a result of the remote internship and wanting to work in the digital marketing space, I started a small digi

On 13 September, in a Chi
18、nese reality show, an inventive participant chose to connect themes from Sanxingdui, an ancient Bronze Age culture from Sichuan Province, with todays fashion technology. That included using heat transfer printing techniques and modem materials to create six different pieces.Historic designs are gene
19、rating interest in China. Over the past year, more people have visited museums online than in real life. And the number of visits to museum design stores on Tmall alone has lopped 1.6 billion. Of these mils, 100 million users were “post 1990s”.Museum IP, considered to be an intangible cultural asset
20、, is now attracting great interest from Chinas younger generation. In 2013, the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing first requested product design ideas from the public for a cultural and creative design competition. The end results included luggage tags, folding fans, and many other products. Its coop
21、eration with Chinese beauty brand Pechoin followed to launch the first lipstick. Even in 2017 the museum earned more than 1 billion RMB through cultural and creative products.After witnessing the huge commercial potential of cultural and creative products, many other Chinese museums have followed th
22、e Forbidden City Museums example. In July, Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province removed the cover on Sanxingdui masks, with toy character designs inspired by Sanxingdui cultural relics. Dunhuang Academy launched a Tianlong Babu blind box (a gift box with a random mixture inside) based on its fresco
23、es. The Henan Museum has launched an archaeological blind box complete with mini play drilling tools that consumers must use to access the toys inside.8What can we learn about peoples online visits in Paragraph 2?AMore people have visited museums in real life.BPeople dislike to buy historic designs
24、in museums.CThe number of visits to museums online has topped to 1.6 billion.D100 million Tmall users of “post 1990s” have visited museum design stores.9How does the author illustrate his or her point in Paragraph 3?ABy using quotes.BBy giving examples.CBy giving definitions.DBy making comparisons.1

However, just 17.4 percent of it was fo
27、rmally collected and recycled. Since 2014, the amount of e-waste recycled has grown by 1.8 million tons a relatively small amount, considering that the amount of e-waste generated increased by 9.2 million tons in the same period.Global reserves of some elements, such as platinum (铂), are supposed to
28、 be fully used up within 15 years if the proportion of recycled stocks entering production doesnt increase. E-waste and EV batteries are currently recycled through processes called pyrometallurgy (火法冶金术) and hydrometallurgy (湿法冶金术). However, they involve burning temperatures with a high energy deman
29、d and deep carbon footprint, and poisonous chemicals which are harmful lo the environment. Alternatives are therefore being sought.A team of scientists from the University of Coventry are extending one such alternative. They have been using non-poisonous bacteria to oxidize (使氧化) and recover the pre
30、cious metals a process known as “bioleaching”. They have shown that copper is widely recoverable from e-waste, and that all metals present in EV batteries can be recovered by using microbes (微生物). If extended, bioleaching facilities would mean that manufacturers of EV batteries and other electronic
31、goods would be able to recover metals locally, relying less on costly exports to recycling centers abroad.“At present, a key limitation for e-waste recycling is the lack of certification detailing the types and amounts of metals contained in electronic goods. But with an efficient recycling process
32、appearing, manufacturers have the motivation to use more recycled material in their products, which will change the very design of electronics goods. Its about closing the loop of a products life cycle,” said the leader of the Bioleaching Research Group, Sebastien Farnaud.Ultimately, bioleaching tec
33、hnology is born out of the idea of creating a truly circular process for the things that we consume. We need to shift from a mindset and economy where we see waste as an end product, to one where there isnt even a start or an end at all.12What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?APeople pay no
34、 attention to e-waste recycling.BThe recycling rate of e-waste is comparatively low.CE-waste has caused serious environmental problems.DThe amount of e-waste is sharply increasing every year.13What is the disadvantage of current ways of recycling e-waste?AThey only apply to certain e-waste.BThey are
35、 not environmentally friendly.CThey generate metals with a complex process.DThey cause a sharp rise in local temperatures.14What do we know about the bioleaching technology?AIt has been applied abroad.BIt releases no poisonous gas.CIt recovers metals by microbes.DIt promotes the local export trade.1

Transplanting is easy and often costs less. Yo
37、u get to watch the new growth happen up close. _16_ A garden expert and writer for the Associated Press, Lee Reich, can give you his advice.To get started with transplants, you will need a container and soil. _17_ Fill the containers with a special mix called potting soil and push it down but not to
38、o much._18_ Do this by making a small hole into the mix and put in the seeds. Cover the seeds with the potting soil and press gently again. Place the containers in a pan, or any flat, open, and larger container that could hold some water. Put water into the pan until the water reaches halfway up the
39、 containers with the seeds. After a few hours, remove them from the water.Seeds need warmth to germinate. _19_ A good average temperature for just about all seeds is about 24.Now for the exciting part waiting to see little, green sprouts! Remove all but the strongest sprout from each container. _20_
40、 Your goal now is to grow strong transplants that can survive a move to the outside garden.In four to six weeks, most transplants should be two to three times the height of their containers. They should be strong and ready to be transplanted outside or almost ready. Now. they are ready to go into th
41、e garden!AIf you are new to this type of gardening, do not worry.BYou are also an experienced gardener.CThen plant seeds, three or four in each container.DThey are used to their future environment with a week of being outside.EThe amount of warmth needed is different from plant to plant.FThe contain
42、ers should be between 5 to 10 centimeters deep.GJust be careful not to hurt the roots of the sprout that remains.三、完形填空In one Nebraska teen running race before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutts personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest he
43、art.During the race, he knew he had the potential to _21_ for the upcoming state meet, so he slowed to a comfortable _22_ that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day. Meanwhile, aiming to _23_ his own personal record, after a fast start, Blake Cerveny continued to push himself _24_.
44、With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny got a cramp (抽筋) in his legs and they _25_ him. _26_ to finish, Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to _27_ again after another 150 metere. and again. This time hed _28_ it only 25 meters more before going down. With tremendous effort, the you
45、ng runner pulled himself up and with a(n) _29_ pace, moved forward for one final push. It wasnt enough. Less than 100 meters from the _30_ line, he lay curled on the ground. His _31_ had simply given out.Brandon Schutt, who was at his side, _32_ a helping hand. His first _33_ to get Cerveny up faile
46、d, but like Cerveny, he too refused to _34_. With a second tug (拖拽), Cerveny was on his _35_. With Cerveny holding Schutt for _36_ and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two _37_ the Final 75 meters. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his _38_
47、a faster time.In todays competitive world in which the emphasis in athletics is so often put on breaking records, it was _39_ to see that for an athlete like Brandon Schutt, the value of true sportsmanship still had legs. And for others, like Blake Cerveny, knowing that finishing the race, no matter the odds or adversity, is the true _40_ of a win.21AlookBqualifyCsearchDobtain22AstepBraceCpaceDrun23AwinBbreakCovercomeDkeep24AextraBdownCbestDhard25AmatchedBstruggledCsensedDfailed26AEnthusiasticBDeterminedCDevotedDAnxious27AfallBstopCpauseDpush28AtookBreachedCar
