Here’re some of the excellent inventions in 2023. Which one do you like most?
Whiter Paint
The paint on a white building reflects 80 to 90% of the sunlight that strikes it. The rest of the light warms the surrounding area, raising air-conditioning bills. But the Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays. It reflects up to 98% of the sunlight, which could reduce AC use by 40%. “The heat is reflected into deep space,” says Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.
Duolingo app
Now you can take music lessons on a smartphone, using this app, which uses an on-screen piano to teach basics such as harmony and beat. You learn by interacting with more than 200 popular pieces of music. Just match sounds to notes and play along. “You don’t need natural talent to learn music,” says Karen Chow, who’s a learning scientist at Duolingo.
Model A
Model A, developed by Alef Aeronautics, is a two-seat all-electric vehicle with a flight range of 110 miles. And it looks as if it were made to be parked in a garage. In July, 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Alef permission to take the vehicle on test flights. The company hopes to deliver the first Model A by 2026.
Moonwalkers
They’re actually battery-powered shoes with wheels. They let you walk normally—just faster and more easily. Moonwalkers, made by Shift Robotics, use AI to sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down, and adjust themselves accordingly. With it, you can walk at speeds up to seven miles per hour.
1. What is special about Whiter Paint?
A. It powers air conditioners. B. It warms our buildings.
C. It absorbs more sunlight. D. It makes us feel cooler.
2. Which one is being tested?
A Duolingo app. B. Whiter Paint.
C. Moonwalkers. D. Model A.

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic enthusiasm for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”
4. Which word can best describe Yu in art learning?
A. Inactive. B. Passionate. C. Ambitious. D. Slow-witted.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu?
A. His painting techniques. B. His exhibitions around the world.
C. His achievements in painting. D. His contributions to the art school.
6. Which is Yu’s painting feature?
A Combining traditional rules with a realistic style.
B. Highlighting the light and movement in the scene.
C. Focusing on the use of perspective and deep colour.
D. Conveying the imbalance between nature and humans.
7. What does Yu expect of his painting style?
A. It will be passed on. B. It will be more complicated.
C. It will change over time. D. It will reach world-class level.
C
Most people would be terrified of entering waters with crocodiles (鳄鱼), but not Sao Chan. Like others living in a jungle village, the 73-year-old farmer says the Siamese crocodiles found in the waterways may look ferocious, but they should not be treated with prejudice. “If we come close to them, they just run away,” Chan says.
He’s right. There have been extremely few reported attacks by Siamese crocodiles on humans in the world, and reportedly none anywhere in Cambodia. Instead, it’s the crocodiles that have every reason to fear people. Once common throughout Southeast Asia, the particularly shy Siamese crocodile, which can grow up to 10 feet long, was for decades hunted for its skin and meat to such an extent that, in the early 1990s, the species was thought to be extinct in the wild.
Some of them survived in the Cardamoms, however, where populations of the reptiles, likely numbering fewer than 200 individuals in total, were rediscovered in 2000. Since then, local people have conducted regular patrols (巡逻) to protect them from threats. While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles, concerns about the species’ long-term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.
In 2022, conservationists have introduced more Siamese crocodiles into the wild than ever before, not just in the Cardamoms but for the first time into a wildlife reserve in the northern part of the country, where the crocodiles historically were found. Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release, and satellite tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.
“We have a long way to go, but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia’s most successful conservation story,” says Pablo Sinovas, who leads a nonprofit reintroducing the animals. “Its survival isn’t just an ecological necessity, but a symbolic matter of urgency if we have any hope of preserving nature on Earth.”
8. What does the underlined word “ferocious” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Ugly. B. Friendly.
C. Abnormal. D. Violent.
9. Why are protectors worried about Siamese crocodiles?
A. They are regularly disturbed by tourists.
B. Their quantity isn’t increased as expected.
C. The locals lack awareness of protecting them.
D. They fail to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings.
10. What plays a great role in crocodiles’ reintroduction?
A. Frequent patrols. B. Modern technology.
C. Economic advances. D. Genetic transformation.
11. How does Pablo Sinovas find the protection of Siamese crocodiles?
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned.
C. Hopeful. D. Unsatisfied.
D
Drinking milk in adulthood is uncommon compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, especially considering that approximately 68% of the global population is lactose intolerant(乳糖不耐). Despite this, the practice has persisted, and scientists continue to investigate the reasons behind it. Understanding this could shed light on our food cultures and even our DNA.
The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9000 years to modern-day Turkey, where milk fats have been found on ancient pottery. According to Professor Jessica Hendy, milk was part of a diverse diet at that time, as it was mixed with other food. From its origins, the custom of milk consumption spread into the Caucasus and then across Europe. By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow's milk to feed their babies.
For a long time, scientists believed that genetic mutations(基因突变) that allowed adults to digest milk were the driving force behind milk consumption. However, recent research suggests that humans might have been drinking milk well before these genetic adaptation s became widespread. In Europe, old tools of converting milk into cheese or y ogurt can reduce lactose content, thus making it more digestible. Even in Mongolia, where milk is a key food, the population lacks the specific gene for efficient milk digestion. This makes scientists think there could be other ways for people to enjoy milk without relying on these gene changes.
We can be certain of one thing: the story of milk shows that one-size-fits-all diet advice is often wrong. This highlights the need to consider individual differences in diet. Our food habits are complex and linked to our biology and culture. By exploring these links, we understand our past better and make smarter food choices today.
12. What can we learn about milk drinking?
A. It used to be a symbol of identity. B. It initially started with little babies.
C. It was the key diet of ancient people. D. It has been a human tradition for long.
13. What's the purpose of the first sentence in paragraph 3?
A. To give a suggestion. B. To define a phenomenon.
C. To offer some evidence. D. To reveal a misconception.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Milk history shows general diet patterns.
B. Diet advice should be tailored to individuals.
C. Cultural practices determine milk consumption.
D. Milk is the key to understanding human evolution.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Mystery of Drinking Milk
B. The Process of Genetic Mutations
C. The Phenomenon of Lactose Intolerance
D. The Nutritional Guidance on Milk Consumption

When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain. I still remember I was out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself.

It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of’ the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a. m. , following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about 14 degrees, and we wore layers we could easily remove, knowing the physical effort would make us warm. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau at about 10, 000 feet. just before the final push to the top. By this point, the wind conditions were unpleasant. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back. hut Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes (破冰斧), helmets, and crampons (带铁钉鞋底). We were prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 a. m. we reached a patch of ice called an ice step. It was about I meter tall and sloped(at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step.
You gain a sense of the ice when you stick your ax and crampons into it, and it felt good. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly. I heard a crack, and a whole slab of ice broke off the step, right under my foot.

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic enthusiasm for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”

Most people would be terrified of entering waters with crocodiles (鳄鱼), but not Sao Chan. Like others living in a jungle village, the 73-year-old farmer says the Siamese crocodiles found in the waterways may look ferocious, but they should not be treated with prejudice. “If we come close to them, they just run away,” Chan says.
He’s right. There have been extremely few reported attacks by Siamese crocodiles on humans in the world, and reportedly none anywhere in Cambodia. Instead, it’s the crocodiles that have every reason to fear people. Once common throughout Southeast Asia, the particularly shy Siamese crocodile, which can grow up to 10 feet long, was for decades hunted for its skin and meat to such an extent that, in the early 1990s, the species was thought to be extinct in the wild.
Some of them survived in the Cardamoms, however, where populations of the reptiles, likely numbering fewer than 200 individuals in total, were rediscovered in 2000. Since then, local people have conducted regular patrols (巡逻) to protect them from threats. While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles, concerns about the species’ long-term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.
In 2022, conservationists have introduced more Siamese crocodiles into the wild than ever before, not just in the Cardamoms but for the first time into a wildlife reserve in the northern part of the country, where the crocodiles historically were found. Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release, and satellite tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.
“We have a long way to go, but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia’s most successful conservation story,” says Pablo Sinovas, who leads a nonprofit reintroducing the animals. “Its survival isn’t just an ecological necessity, but a symbolic matter of urgency if we have any hope of preserving nature on Earth.”
8. What does the underlined word “ferocious” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Ugly. B. Friendly.
C. Abnormal. D. Violent.
9. Why are protectors worried about Siamese crocodiles?
A. They are regularly disturbed by tourists.
B. Their quantity isn’t increased as expected.
C. The locals lack awareness of protecting them.
D. They fail to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings.
10. What plays a great role in crocodiles’ reintroduction?
A. Frequent patrols. B. Modern technology.
C. Economic advances. D. Genetic transformation.
11. How does Pablo Sinovas find the protection of Siamese crocodiles?
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned.
C. Hopeful. D. Unsatisfied.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于人类的捕杀,暹罗鳄一度濒临灭绝,后来柬埔寨当地人开始对其采取保护措施。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“but they should not be treated with prejudice. “If we come close to them, they just run away,” Chan says.(但是我们不应该带着偏见对待它们。“如果我们靠近它们,它们就会跑开,”Chan说)”可知,暹罗鳄实际上不敢与人接触,Chan认为人们不应该带着偏见对待它们,由此推知,暹罗鳄仅仅是看上去很凶猛,画线词意思与Violent“凶猛的”一致。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles, concerns about the species’ long-term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.(虽然巡逻和其他保护措施帮助防止了暹罗鳄的灭绝,但对该物种长期生存的担忧仍然存在,因为自它们被重新发现以来,种群数量基本保持不变)”可知,保护者担心是因为鳄鱼的数量没有如预期那样增加。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release, and satellite tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.(基因测试的进步已经确定了适合放生的鳄鱼,对重新引入的鳄鱼的卫星跟踪也改善了保护工作)”可推知,现代科技在鳄鱼重新引入中起到了重要作用。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Pablo Sinovas所说的话“We have a long way to go, but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia’s most successful conservation story(我们还有很长的路要走,但暹罗鳄的潜在回归可能是柬埔寨最成功的保护故事)”可知,Pablo Sinovas认为虽然保护暹罗鳄还需要做很多工作,但它们是有望回归的。由此可知,他对保护暹罗鳄持充满希望的态度。故选C项。
D
Drinking milk in adulthood is uncommon compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, especially considering that approximately 68% of the global population is lactose intolerant(乳糖不耐). Despite this, the practice has persisted, and scientists continue to investigate the reasons behind it. Understanding this could shed light on our food cultures and even our DNA.
The earliest evidence of animal milk drinking dates back almost 9000 years to modern-day Turkey, where milk fats have been found on ancient pottery. According to Professor Jessica Hendy, milk was part of a diverse diet at that time, as it was mixed with other food. From its origins, the custom of milk consumption spread into the Caucasus and then across Europe. By the Bronze Age, people may have been using cow's milk to feed their babies.
For a long time, scientists believed that genetic mutations(基因突变) that allowed adults to digest milk were the driving force behind milk consumption. However, recent research suggests that humans might have been drinking milk well before these genetic adaptation s became widespread. In Europe, old tools of converting milk into cheese or y ogurt can reduce lactose content, thus making it more digestible. Even in Mongolia, where milk is a key food, the population lacks the specific gene for efficient milk digestion. This makes scientists think there could be other ways for people to enjoy milk without relying on these gene changes.
We can be certain of one thing: the story of milk shows that one-size-fits-all diet advice is often wrong. This highlights the need to consider individual differences in diet. Our food habits are complex and linked to our biology and culture. By exploring these links, we understand our past better and make smarter food choices today.
12. What can we learn about milk drinking?
A. It used to be a symbol of identity. B. It initially started with little babies.
C. It was the key diet of ancient people. D. It has been a human tradition for long.
13. What's the purpose of the first sentence in paragraph 3?
A. To give a suggestion. B. To define a phenomenon.
C. To offer some evidence. D. To reveal a misconception.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Milk history shows general diet patterns.
B Diet advice should be tailored to individuals.
C. Cultural practices determine milk consumption.
D. Milk is the key to understanding human evolution.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Mystery of Drinking Milk
B. The Process of Genetic Mutations
C. The Phenomenon of Lactose Intolerance
D. The Nutritional Guidance on Milk Consumption
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For a long time, scientists believed that genetic mutations(基因突变)that allowed adults to digest milk were the driving force behind milk consumption. However, recent research suggests that humans might have been drinking milk well before these genetic adaptations became widespread.(长期以来,科学家们认为,使成年人能够消化牛奶的基因突变是牛奶消费背后的驱动力。然而,最近的研究表明,人类可能在这些基因适应广泛传播之前就已经在喝牛奶了。)”可知,科学家们之前认为基因突变是饮用牛奶的原因,但最近的研究表明可能还有其他原因。由此可知,此句的目的是揭示一个误解。故选 D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We can be certain of one thing: the story of milk shows that one-size-fits-all diet advice is often wrong. This highlights the need to consider individual differences in diet.(我们可以确定一件事:牛奶的故事表明,一刀切的饮食建议往往是错误的。这突出了考虑饮食个体差异的必要性。)”可知,饮食建议应该因人而异。故选 B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Drinking milk in adulthood is uncommon compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, especially considering that approximately 68% of the global population is lactose intolerant. Despite this, the practice has persisted, and scientists continue to investigate the reasons behind it.(与动物王国的其他动物相比,成年人喝牛奶并不常见,尤其是考虑到全球约 68%的人口患有乳糖不耐症。尽管如此,这种做法仍然存在,科学家们继续调查其背后的原因。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了人类饮用牛奶的历史和习惯,以及科学家对饮用牛奶背后原因的研究。故选 A。

Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super communicators.
They know what kind of conversation they’re having. Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly. If you’re having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions. ___16___ If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.
They prove they’re listening. There are plenty of ways to appear like you’re listening, like making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycle for understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct. ___17___
They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be follow-up questions like “What happened next?”. Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up. ___18___ They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connection.
___19___ The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone, convince someone or wait for their turn to speak. It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from. ___20___
A. They aim to understand.
B. Experts call them “deep questions”.
C. They are persuasive communicators.

【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:对敦煌丰富多彩的历史感兴趣的人会被莫高窟吸引,莫高窟是这座城市的主要景点之一。空处作句子的谓语,attract“吸引”和主语Those之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,结合“one of the city’s main attractions”及后文对莫高窟的具体介绍可知,此处是对未来的肯定推测,表示“会被莫高窟吸引”,应用一般将来时。故填will be attracted。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:每个洞窟的入口都被一扇上锁的门堵住了,只有专业的向导才能打开。空处表示泛指,意为“一扇上锁的门”,应用不定冠词,且locked的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:洞穴里有成千上万无价的手稿和丝绸画,它们一经发现,就引起了人们对该地区的极大关注。空处作修饰manuscripts and silk paintings的定语,price的形容词形式priceless符合题意,意为“无价的”。故填priceless。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:要看这令人难以置信的景色,你必须早起。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作目的状语,表示“为了……”,应用catch的不定式形式,且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填To catch。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:但当太阳从金色的沙丘上升起,描绘出一幅真正如画的景色时,你所有的努力都得到了回报。空处和rises并列,作谓语,时态为一般现在时,主语the sun是单数名词,paint“描绘”应用第三人称单数形式。故填paints。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:从骆驼上下来,走上一个相当陡峭的沙丘,俯瞰月牙泉。空处连接前后两个谓语动词Get off和walk up,两者之间是顺承关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从这个被认为是最好的位置(看去),不可思议的日落令人敬畏。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作position的非限制性后置定语,regard“视作”和position逻辑上是被动关系,因此用regard的过去分词形式。故填regarded。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:不去敦煌博物馆,你的敦煌之旅就不完整,在那里,你可以把这座城市的所有历史遗迹都置于恰当的历史背景中。空后为动名词短语,结合空处前后内容可推知,此处指“不去敦煌博物馆,你的敦煌之旅就不完整”,应用介词without表示“在没有(发生或做某事)的情况下”。故填without。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:博物馆很广阔,有许多原创艺术品。句子主干成分完整,空处为非谓语,contain“包含”和museum逻辑上是主动关系,因此用contain的现在分词形式,作状语。故填containing。

When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain. I still remember I was out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself. I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen, whom I’d met in a Facebook group. Two years ago, on December 30, when I was 16, she and I drove to Oregon to tackle 11, 240-foot Mount Hood.
It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of’ the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a. m. , following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about 14 degrees, and we wore layers we could easily remove, knowing the physical effort would make us warm. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau at about 10, 000 feet. just before the final push to the top. By this point, the wind conditions were unpleasant. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back. hut Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes (破冰斧), helmets, and crampons (带铁钉鞋底). We were prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 a. m. we reached a patch of ice called an ice step. It was about I meter tall and sloped(at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step.
You gain a sense of the ice when you stick your ax and crampons into it, and it felt good. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly. I heard a crack, and a whole slab of ice broke off the step, right under my foot.

【答案】
In an instant, I fell backward. I could hear Mel calling my name, my heart racing and my mind going blank. After a few seconds, I hit the ground with a bang, my limbs feeling numb. I closed my eyes. Minutes passed, or maybe hours. I wasn’t sure. Gradually, my senses returned, and I became aware of a gentle touch on my arm. Opening my eyes, I saw Mel kneeling beside me, her face filled with worry. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling.
I pointed to my left leg and then Mel yelled for help. Other climbers came. One explained our situation to the emergency service. We waited anxiously before the rescue finally arrived. Then I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to hospital. I stayed there for a week, knowing that I had survived what could have ended tragically. We learned an important lesson: even with the best equipment and preparation, mountaineering can still be extremely dangerous. From then on, we climbed with even more caution and respect for nature's power.
