Ⅴ.阅读理解
Qomolangma is the world's highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8，844.43 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time.
That's why a Chinese survey team with over 30 members set out to reach the peak__of Qomolangma to re measure its height on May 6, 2020. They were equipped(配备) with the latest technology.
It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is 29℃， and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones(无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain. That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get exact results.
But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain
In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate(欧亚板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak's height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of the earth's crust(地壳)．
The survey team will also get first hand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Qinghai Tibet Plateau(高原)．
( )36.What do we know from the first paragraph
A．Researchers measure the height of Qomolangma every year.
B．There is no agreed upon height of Qomolangma at present.
C．It's not easy to measure the height of Qomolangma.
D．The height of Qomolangma increases every year.
( )37.Which of the following words could replace the underlined word “peak” in Paragraph 2
A．Point. B．Top.
C．Base. D．Edge.
( )38.What challenge did the Chinese survey team face
A．A lack of water.
B．Dangerous animals.
C．Bad weather conditions.
D．The movement of the earth's crust.
( )39.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs
A．Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important.
B．What changes in the height of Qomolangma's peak can tell us.
C．How Qomolangma became the highest mountain.
D．How plate movements affected the height of Qomolangma.
答案
Ⅰ.1.challenge 2.conditions
3．include 4.thick 5．forces
Ⅱ.6.including 7.succeeded 8．to climb 9.going
10．natural 11.southwestern 12．freezing 13.thicker
14．oceans 15.achievements
Ⅲ.16.C
17．B 考查疑问词和数词的辨析。句意：“杰克，中国的现有人口是多少？”“让我想想，大约是14亿。”对人口提问不用 how many/how much，要用what，排除A、D项。14亿应表达为1，400 million。故选B。
18．A 19.D
20．A 考查名词辨析。根据语境可知，一些动物越来越少的原因是糟糕的生存条件，故用conditions。
Ⅳ.21.B 22.A 23.C 24.C 25.D
26．A 27.B 28.C 29.B 30.D
31．C 32.A 33.B
34．C 由下文“They are ready to help the people…” 可知，沙漠里的人都是“友好的”。
35．A in trouble为固定搭配，意为“处于麻烦/困境中”。
Ⅴ.【主旨大意】 珠穆朗玛峰是世界最高峰。但对这座山峰的具体高度，不同的研究者给出了不同的结果。此外，山的高度会随时间而变化。所以一支由30多人组成的中国考察队于2020年5月6日攀登珠穆朗玛峰，重新测量它的高度。
36．B 推理判断题。由第一段第三句“But not all sides are in agreement on this.”可判断，就珠穆朗玛峰的具体高度，并没有一个统一的共识。
37．B 词义猜测题。由短文第二段第一句可知，中国考察队要重新测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度，所以他们必须到达山顶。由此可判断peak相当于top。
38．C 推理判断题。由短文第三段的内容可判断，恶劣的天气条件对于考察队来说是非常大的挑战。故选C。
39．A 主旨大意题。通读短文最后两段的内容可知，作者主要阐述了测量珠穆朗玛峰高度的原因及重要性等。故选A。Unit 7 Section A 1a~2d
