21、Meredith J. Eberhart completed the 2, 190-plus mile Appalachian Trail on Sunday, becoming the oldest person to hold the honor.
Eberhart has probably hiked over 50,000 miles in his life though he doesn’t keep track. The 83-year-old man started walking when he retired more than 25 years ago, and never stopped.
Eberhart started the 261-day, 15-state trip back in February, with the goal of beating previous record holder Dale “Greybeard”Sanders, who finished the entire Appalachian Trail at the age of 82 in 2017. The trail covers over 2,190 miles from Springer Mountain, Georgia, all the way to Mount Katahdin, Maine. However, Eberhart began his journey far from the trail, at his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama. That added hundreds of extra miles to the route. But Eberhart wasn’t worried about that. He once hiked 4,400 miles from the Florida Keys to Northern Quebec, and another time from Chicago to California on Route 66.
Eberhart admitted that he was feeling his age and the trail got tough at points, even for an experienced hiker like himself. He fell a few times on slippery rocks, and at one point he got his elbow scratched. However, the accidents didn’t stop him.“I’ve got a couple of injuries on me, but I’m okay,”he said.“You’ve got to have incredible determination to do this.”
Eberhart hiked the trail out of order in sections so he could complete each part in fine weather. Mindful of his age, Eberhart walked at a rate of no more than eight hours each day. He finished his journey in Massachusetts, where he celebrated with champagne wine and friends. And while some people think this will be his last hike, Eberhart seems to strongly disagree.
【1】What set Eberhart apart from other Appalachian Trail hikers?
A．The maximum age.
B．The longest distance.
C．The minimum time.
D．The steepest trail.
【2】Which word best describes Eberhart’s journey on the Appalachian Trail?
A．Relaxing.
B．Challenging.
C．Pleasing.
D．Appealing.
【3】Why did Eberhart hike the trails in random sections?
A．To conserve his energy.
B．To catch up with other hikers.
C．To make use of good weather.
D．To avoid getting injured.
【4】What can we learn from Eberhart’s success?
A．Life lies in movement.
B．All roads lead to Rome.
C．He who laughs last laughs longest.
D．It’s never too late to go after dreams.

24、 Attention to the fight against climate change tends to be focused on trees, but 75%of the planet's surface is covered by the ocean, and a natural process taking place underwater has excited scores of investors at the recent World Economic Forum who may want to help.
During the recent wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, journalists often described trees as the “lungs of the world”, but that title most certainly belongs to phytoplankton, which alone refreshes nearly 50%of the atmospheric oxygen on planet earth, the value of four Amazons.
And, in the effort to stop the warming of the planet, our greatest assistants could belong to whales, because of the great amount of their excrement left in the sea.
A new paper published by economist Dr. Ralph Chianti highlights the influence that whales, especially blue whales, and their excrement have on climate change. It is all due to whales' excrement in the diets of phytoplankton.
The tiny marine algae floats at the center of several marine food webs, and they provide food for a host of sea creatures including whales, while also requiring whales' excrement to feed on. They also require CO2 to survive, just like trees.
Whales, after deep-sea dives for krill, return to the surface and release excrement, which is rich in nitrogen and iron, into the top ocean layer, which provides a key food source for phytoplankton.
In his paper, Dr. Chiami suggests that since phytoplankton populations expand wherever whales are,a significant effort should be made to fight against climate change by encouraging the growth and protection of whale populations. “At a minimum, even a 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity thanks to whale activity would capture hundreds of millions of tons of additional CO2 a year, which is equal to the sudden appearance of 2 billion mature trees,” says Chiami.
【1】What makes the investors excited?
A．Trees' function as “lungs of the world”.
B．Phytoplankton's ability to create oxygen.
C．The success of the World Economic Forum.
D．People's continuous fight against climate change.
【2】Why are whales called our assistants in fighting global warming?
A．They refresh much oxygen.
B．They never send out CO2.
C．They kill much phytoplankton.
D．They supply food to phytoplankton.
【3】Which can best describe the relationship between phytoplankton and whales?
A．Complex.
B．Competitive.
C．Interdependent.
D．Distant.
【4】What does Chiami advise us to do?
A．Rebuild food webs.
B．Try to protect whales.
C．Grow more phytoplankton.
D．Restrict population explosion.
