Everything changed on June 23, 2012 when Kirstie Ennis was in a helicopter crash that finally led to an above-the-knee leg amputation(截肢). 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 isn't just about the mountains. On each climb, she raises money in support of a different nonprofit. 'I realized that it was a pretty unique platform…whether it's the younger generation, men, women or wounded veterans, they can look to me in a different way, ' Ennis told Connecting Vets. 'It's just the highlight of everything I always wanted to do. ' Ennis has climbed up five of the seven mountains. She's been on Everest for more than a month, adapting to the altitude and planning routes, and her team plans to summit (登顶) on May 15, 2019. It's a climb she has been preparing for three years, including a trip in 2017. 'Everest is the most important part of everything I have trained for, ' Ennis told Pensacola News Journal. '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. Each individual, especially those with disabilities, should be able to determine what they're able to do. ' Ennis shares detailed updates on her blog, and will post again after the summit attempt. 【1】Why did Ennis decide to conquer the Seven Summits? A.To inspire others. B.To challenge herself. C.To show her strong will. D.To make her life colorful. 【2】What does Ennis do on her climb? A.She recovers from her injury. B.She communicates with fellows. C.She collects money for a nonprofit. D.She promotes environmental protection. 【3】When did Ennis start to prepare for Everest? A.In 2016. B.In 2017. C.In 2018. D.In 2019. 【4】What can we infer from paragraph 6?

For the past 3000 years, when people thought of money, they thought of cash. From buying food to paying bills, day-to-day dealings involved paper or metal money. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off—tapping your credit card on a machine or having the QR Code (二维码) on your smart phone scanned has become normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich countries. That will make the economy more efficient, but it also brings new problems. Countries are getting rid of cash at different speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transactions (交易) per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. Cash accounts for just 6% of purchases by value in Norway. Britain is probably four or six years behind it. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. However, in China, digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017. Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want to enjoy their digital lives with payment systems. But equally important, suppliers such as banks and tech firms are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. In general, the future of a cashless economy is excellent news. When cash payments disappear, people and shops are less likely to be stolen. Besides, digitalisation greatly expands the playground of small businesses by enabling them to sell beyond their borders. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow. Yet it is not without problems. Electronic payment systems may suffer technical failures, power blackouts and cyber-attacks. What’s more, in a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. 【1】What do we know about digital payments in paragraph 1? A.They've been used in daily dealings for 3000 years. B.They have become popular in the past ten years. C.They can only be made on the smart phones. D.They are leading to cash's dying out worldwide. 【2】Which country is the slowest in getting rid of cash? A.America. B.Britain. C.Sweden D.Norway. 【3】Which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A.Cash payments are less likely to disappear. B.Digitalisation enables small businesses to sell nationally. C.Customers can have their credit history built through digital payments. D.Digital payments may benefit the poor, the elderly and country folks. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The future of a cashless society. B.The rising of digital payments. C.The reasons for cash being endangered. D.The development of payment technologies. |
