The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos—all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.
1.Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma
A. Because the mountain was overcrowded.
B. Because his original climbing goal changed.
C. Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.
D. Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.
2.What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later
A. The influence of Thom Pollard.
B. The results of the previous climbing.
C. The development of advanced equipment.
D. The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.
3.What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Relieved my tiredness. B. Showed my respect.
C. Expressed my gratitude. D. Proved my determination.
4.What message does the passage mainly convey
A. The search for missing adventurers holds great value.
B. Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.
C. Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.
D. Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.

Why Do I Need a First-aid Kit
You need a first-aid kit because it keeps all your medical supplies together in one place. 1 . If you or a family member needs first aid, you aren’t going to feel like hunting around your house looking for bandages in the bathroom drawer, your desk for a pair of scissors, the medicine cabinet for antibiotic ointment, etc. 2 . Consequently, if someone crashes their bike in the driveway or suffers a burn, you can simply grab the kit and be confident that you have everything you need.
If you’re out of your house on a hike, camping trip, soccer practice or scout outing, then a first-aid kit is even more important. 3 if you have to wait until you reach a hospital to get treatment. This will also prevent you from having to improvise (即兴创造) with unsanitary (不卫生的) or inappropriate items that aren’t meant for treatment. 4 .
5 . It is a larger, more comprehensive kit meant to prepare you for a weather or natural disaster. In this case, you may not have access to a hospital or an ambulance for some time, making an effective first-aid kit even more important to have on hand.
A. A first-aid kit is also portable
B. A first-aid kit should be at hand
C. A first-aid kit is also an effective emergency or disaster kit
D. Even relatively minor injuries can become serious issues
E. Thus, you’ll be able to act quickly in case of emergency
F. That will surely save you a lot of time and get the victims properly treated
G. A sterile (无菌的) bandage will be more effective than a dirty handkerchief or sweaty T-shirt

本文叙述了作者对攀登珠穆朗玛峰的态度从厌恶转向重新考虑这座山及其攀登精神的变化过程。
1.C 推理判断题。第一段第一句“The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me.”是该段主旨:攀登珠穆朗玛峰的想法令我厌恶。下文解释原因: the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry和 the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash。由此可知,作者不喜欢攀登珠穆朗玛峰,是因为攀登这座山成了一个商业活动,导致营地人满为患、垃圾成堆。由此可推出作者反感珠穆朗玛峰的原因是攀登活动是被利益驱动的。故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“如果不是因为老朋友Thom Pollard和他对最大的谜团之一的痴迷,我个人的珠穆朗玛峰故事可能就此结束了”及第三段中的“Pollard’s story moved me (Pollard的故事感动了我)”可知,是Thom Pollard的坚持和感人故事激励了作者去攀爬珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。
3.B 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. (我不断地tipped my hat,不仅是对Mallory和Irvine,也是对任何有动力推动自己走上这条路的人)”可知,作者在攀登的过程中向那些有勇气攀登的人表达敬意,推断出“tipped my hat”意为“表示敬意”。故选B。
4.C 主旨大意题。最后两句点明主旨:我发现了更难得到的东西:欧文和马洛里共有的精神。它隐藏于众目睽睽之下,就在它一直存在的地方:在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇冒险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢的灵魂里。由此可知,文章要表达的是珠穆朗玛峰攀登者的精神值得尊敬。故选C。

文章介绍了急救箱在各种情况下的必要性和重要性。
1.E 上文介绍急救箱把所有的急救用品放在一个地方,下文描述了在家里四处翻找急救用品的情况,故空处说明急救箱在紧急情况下的重要性,故E项“万一有紧急情况,你就能迅速采取行动”与上文为因果关系,符合语境。
2.A 下文“因此,如果有人在车道上撞了自行车或被烫伤,只需拿起急救箱即可确信自己拥有所需的一切。”是空处内容的结果,空处应说明原因,故A项“急救箱也是便携的”符合语境。
3.D 空后的 “if you have to wait until you reach a hospital to get treatment”是从句,空处应该是主句,说明“你得等到了医院才接受治疗”的结果,故D项“即使相对轻的伤口也可能变得严重”符合语境。
4.G 该段介绍在远足、露营、足球训练或童子军郊游时急救箱的重要性。上文说明不用即兴制作不卫生或不合适的东西,不利于治疗。空处应进一步对此说明,说明急救箱物品的卫生方面的优点。G项“无菌绷带远比脏手帕或汗水湿透的T恤更有效”符合语境。
5.C 下文“它是更大、更全面的急救用品,旨在让你为天气或自然灾害做好准备”是对空处内容的进一步的解释说明,It应指代A first-aid kit,且应提及关键词disaster,故C项“急救箱也是一种有效的应急包”符合语境。
