Question

ascent 【ascent】n. 攀登；上升Chinese mountain climbers made a successful ascent of Mt. McKinley in North America.中国登山者成功地攀登了北美的麦金利山。

Accepted Answer

[ə'sent] 
ascenta movement upward
If you are moving in an upward direction, that's an ascent, like your quick ascent from new group member last year to president this year.
An ascent, which comes from the Latin word ascendere, meaning "to climb up," is just that: a climb. An ascent can be physical, like an elevator's journey to the top floor, an airplane's upward motion, or your hike up a mountain. Ascent can also be a figurative climb, like a restaurant's dishwasher's whose hard work made his ascent to executive chef possible.
