二、读下面关于珠穆朗玛峰介绍的文章,然后判断文章后面的问题,正确的答案写T,错误的答案写F。
(2022·教材课文改编题)One of the world's most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and so it is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk their lives One of the main reasons is that people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.
1.Mountain climbing is the most dangerous sport in the world.
2.Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous.

四、阅读理解
(2021·江苏扬州宝应实验初级中学月考)The clock struck twelve. Scrooge looked around him for the Ghost, but he couldn't see it. Then he remembered old Jacob Marley's prediction. He lifted his eyes, and he saw a serious Ghost. The Ghost wore a black robe(长袍). The robe covered its head, its face and its body. The only thing visible was a hand. The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified. “Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?” asked Scrooge.
The Ghost didn't answer, but it pointed its hand in front of it.
“You are going to show me the future,” Scrooge continued. “Am I right, Ghost?”
The Ghost nodded its head. That was the only answer Scrooge received.
“Ghost of the Future,” he said, “I'm more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you. Please, speak to me.”
It didn't reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them.
“Lead on!” said Scrooge.
The Ghost moved forwards. Scrooge followed in the shadow of its robe. And the robe carried him along. The city suddenly appeared around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange(证券交易所). Its hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.
“I only know he's dead,” said a great fat man.
“When did he die?” asked another.
“Last night, I think.”
“What was the matter with him?” asked a third.
“God knows,” said the first, with a yawn.
“What has he done with his money?” asked a red faced gentleman.
“I don't know,” said the great fat man, yawning again. “He hasn't left it to me. That's all I know.”
Everybody laughed.
“It will be a very small funeral(葬礼),” said the great fat man. “I don't think anybody will go to it.”
Scrooge knew the men. And he looked towards the Ghost for an explanation. He didn't understand why this conversation was important. But he knew it must be.
Scrooge looked around the place. He looked at the clock. It was strange. He was usually there at this time, but he couldn't see himself.
