二、阅读理解
Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma's peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.
So far, a large number of climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks(狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn't just uncomfortable—it's cold and windy up there—but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can die.
As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Mount Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of it ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's largest rubbish dump. Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins' writing in National Geographic about the state of Mount Qomolangma, "The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are badly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere."
But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking on the work to clean up Mount Qomolangma. Mountaineer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008.
Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mt. Everest 8848 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They've transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to an association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：poisoned
2.答案：consequences
3.答案：process
4.答案：profit
5.答案：concerned
解析：考查词形转换。此处应用形容词作表语。be concerned about…"对……担忧"。
二、
答案：1-4 BAAB
解析：1.根据第二段中的"And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks(狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn't just uncomfortable"可知, 攀登者在通过去珠穆朗玛峰顶峰的狭窄路段时要等很长时间, 故可知狭窄路段经常很拥挤。故选B。
2.结合语境并根据第三段中的"The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are badly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere"可知, 两个线路都完全被氧气罐和撕破的帐篷弄脏了, 所以可以推测画线词指的是登山者用的登山设备。故选A项。
3.根据最后一段中的第二句和第三句可知, 由15个尼泊尔艺术家组成的小组用珠峰上的垃圾创作出了艺术品。故选A。
4.根据文章的内容, 尤其是第一段"Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma's peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap"和第四段中的"But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking on the work to clean up Mount Qomolangma"可知, 由于很多人攀登上珠峰, 随处丢弃用完的装备, 现在那里正在变成一个垃圾堆, 但是有些人正主动承担清理珠峰垃圾的责任, 使珠峰变干净。故选B项。
