CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA:WORTH THE RISKS
攀登珠穆朗玛峰:值得冒险吗?
Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that1 they knew2 would include crowds,discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing Qomolangma3 is an experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful4. 1引导定语从句,修饰先行词an__experience 2插入语 3动名词短语作主语 4现在分词短语作结果状语
明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验,去年仍有数百人愿意为此花费大价钱。由于极端严寒与低气压,很多人会生病,甚至有少数人会丢掉性命。尽管如此,在旅程的结尾,已经有很多人在计划着重返这里。对于这些人来说,攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的体验,它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What5 we get from this adventure is just sheer joy ... We do not live to eat and make money6. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what7 life is for.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although8 his body would not be found until many years later. It9 is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before10 it took his life. 5引导主语从句 6动词不定式短语作目的状语 7本句中两个what均引导表语从句 8引导让步状语从句 9It作形式主语,真正的主语是if__he__...__his__life 10引导时间状语从句
英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验:“我们从这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣钱。我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是,1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡,而他的遗体多年后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。
In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory11 were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who12 climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what13's important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going14. You really have to focus on the one reason that15's most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if16 you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when17 you want to stop.” 11形容词短语作后置定语 12引导非限制性定语从句,解释说明Alan__Arnette 13引导宾语从句 14动词不定式短语作后置定语 15引导定语从句 16引导宾语从句 17引导时间状语从句
2011年,美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。那一年他登上了珠峰,之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事,”他补充道,“纵使有一千个理由让你回头,但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的理由。它会强迫你去深入地审视自己,去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强,能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure18, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk taking Recent studies indicate that19 risk taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who20 jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”. 18 with的复合结构,with+宾语+宾语补足语 19引导宾语从句 20引导定语从句,修饰people
攀登珠峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜,要么彻底失败,这一冒险行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢?近日有研究指出,冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分,而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的人。他把那些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”,“T”代表“刺激”。
Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities21, Farley said, “They'll say, ‘I'm not taking risks, I'm an expert ...’ They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.” 21现在分词短语作状语
在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时,法利说道:“他们会说‘我并不是在冒险,我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死,也不认为自己会死。”
Research also suggests that22 our desire to seek risks can be connected to how23 much we expect to benefit from the result. 还有的研究表明,我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少收益有关。 22引导宾语从句 23引导宾语从句,作介词to的宾语
With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks It's totally up to you.
了解这些之后,你认为攀登珠峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗?答案完全取决于你自己。

难度 ★ ★ ★★
Ⅰ 阅读
Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It's not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10 kilometre route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you're being challenged. If you're red faced and out of breath, it's probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They're all about inspiring outdoor experiences at Explore . We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it's a day tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It's up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.

An army officer has spoken of her delight at becoming the first woman of colour to complete an expedition (远征) to the South Pole on her own.
In a message recorded at the pole, Captain Preet Chandi, 32, thanked supporters for helping her to make the 700 mile journey in 40 days. “I made it to the South Pole where it's snowing,” she said. “Feeling so many emotions right now. I knew nothing about the polar world three years ago and it feels so unreal to finally be here.”
“This expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push the envelope and to believe in themselves. You are capable of anything you want. No matter where you are from or where your start line is, everybody starts somewhere,” she said.
The army officer, who once had dreams of being a tennis champion, started from a camp by Union Glacier where even summer temperatures can fall to minus 50℃. She pulled her equipment on a journey that she thought would take 45 days at least.
She wrote on her website Polarpreet: “There are only a few female adventurers that have completed the expedition alone. It is time to add some more names, diversity and to make history. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model. I want my eight year old niece to grow up without limitation, knowing the possibilities of what you can achieve in life are endless.”
In 2019, there were nine successful expeditions to the South Pole from the coast, four of which were by women.

Picture a volcano. Now imagine that its main opening extends in a line. Now imagine that this line is so long that it runs for more than 40,000 miles through the deep dark area of all the world's oceans, surrounding the globe like the seams (接缝) of a baseball.
Welcome to one of the plane's strangest but important features, known as the mid ocean ridges (大洋中脊). Though long enough to circle the moon more than six times, they receive little notice because they lie hidden in total darkness. Ocean experts discovered their volcanic nature in 1973. Ever since, costly expeditions have slowly explored the undersea world, which typically lies more than a mile down.
The results can make the visions of Jules Verne (author of a famous adventure novel called Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) seem rather dull. The ridges feature long rift valleys and, down their middles, huge fields of hot springs that send tons of minerals into icy seawater, slowly building ugly hills and towers that can be rich in metals like gold and silver. One tower in the Pacific Ocean grew 15 stories high. A large number of snakelike tube worms and other strange creatures often blanket the hot features, and so do hungry food searchers such as spider crabs.
These creatures coexist with springs hot enough to melt lead or the plastic windows of large ships. With extreme care, humans and robots have measured temperatures as high as 780 degrees. To date, studies have been undertaken only now and then. Ridge expeditions were done fitfully, their schedules determined by changeable weather and budgets, not to mention the problem of crew and equipment availability.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了探险队对大洋中脊的探索。
1.What do we know about the mid ocean ridges
A.They are long and hot.
B.They are round like a baseball.
C.They were discovered by a diver.
D.They are caused by ocean movements.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though long enough to circle the moon more than six times (虽然它们的长度足以绕月球六圈以上)”和第四段中的“These creatures coexist ... of large ships.(这些生物与热度足以熔化铅或大型船舶塑料窗的泉水共存。)”可知,大洋中脊非常长且炎热。故选A。
2.Why does the author mention Jules Verne in Paragraph 3
A.To remember a famous adventure novel writer.
B.To stress how fantastic the mid ocean ridges are.
C.To tell the story of one of his famous works.
D.To describe what inspired his writing.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results can ... seem rather dull.(结果可能会让Jules Verne (儒勒·凡尔纳)(著名冒险小说《海底两万里》的作者)的想象显得相当乏味。)”及下文对大洋中脊的描述可推知,作者在第三段提到Jules Verne是为了强调大洋中脊有多神奇。故选B。
3.What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A.Humans have fully understood the nature and features of mid ocean ridges.
B.Ridge explorations are no longer necessary due to a lack of technology.
C.The budget for ridge expeditions is always enough.
D.Exploring the underwater world still faces numerous difficulties.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Ridge expeditions were ... and equipment availability.(大洋中脊的探险是断断续续进行的,其日程安排取决于多变的天气和预算,更不用说人员和设备的可用性问题了。)”可知,作者在最后一段中想表达探索海底世界仍然面临着许多困难。故选D。
4.Which one is the most suitable as the title of the article based on its content
A.Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jules Verne's Dream Realized
B.Gold and Silver Mines Under the Waves: A Treasure Hunter's Guide
C.The Secret Dance of Oceanic Volcanoes: The Mid Ridge Symphony
D.Extreme Life in the Deep: Creatures Thriving in Darkness
答案:C

Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that1 they knew2 would include crowds,discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, climbing Qomolangma3 is an experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful4.

明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验,去年仍有数百人愿意为此花费大价钱。由于极端严寒与低气压,很多人会生病,甚至有少数人会丢掉性命。尽管如此,在旅程的结尾,已经有很多人在计划着重返这里。对于这些人来说,攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的体验,它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What5 we get from this adventure is just sheer joy ... We do not live to eat and make money6. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what7 life is for.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although8 his body would not be found until many years later. It9 is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before10 it took his life.

英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验:“我们从这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣钱。我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是,1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡,而他的遗体多年后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。
In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory11 were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who12 climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what13’s important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going14. You really have to focus on the one reason that15’s most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if16 you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when17 you want to stop.”

2011年,美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。那一年他登上了珠峰,之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事,”他补充道,“纵使有一千个理由让你回头,但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的理由。它会强迫你去深入地审视自己,去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强,能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure18, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk taking Recent studies indicate that19 risk taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who20 jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”.

攀登珠峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜,要么彻底失败,这一冒险行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢?近日有研究指出,冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分,而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的人。他把那些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”,“T”代表“刺激”。
Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities21, Farley said, “They'll say, ‘I'm not taking risks, I'm an expert ...’ They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.”

在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时,法利说道:“他们会说‘我并不是在冒险,我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死,也不认为自己会死。”

难度 ★ ★ ★★
Ⅰ 阅读
Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It's not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10 kilometre route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you're being challenged. If you're red faced and out of breath, it's probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They're all about inspiring outdoor experiences at Explore . We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it's a day tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It's up to you.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章号召人们去加拿大挑战十个最令人兴奋的冬季挑战项目。
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
1.What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge
A.Skiing a black diamond.
B.A call for special effort.
C.Applying it to everyone.
D.Snowshoeing a challenging route.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Of all the ways ... a call for special effort.”可知,作者认为定义挑战的最佳方式是需要特别的努力。故选B。
2.How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3
A.They are worth trying.
B.They are the most challenging.
C.They are suitable for the writer.
D.They fail to fire the imagination.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but they all ... as well as adoption”可知,作者认为加拿大冬季的十大挑战值得一试。故选A。
3.Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending
A.The Ice Mile.
B.The Wapta Traverse.
C.The Pentathlon des Neiges.
D.The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When you read ... as well as the Ice Mile”可知,作者会避免推荐the Ice Mile。故选A。
4.What is the purpose of writing this article
A.To define a challenge.
B.To introduce Canada's sights.
C.To praise adventurous tourists.
D.To encourage exploring winter challenges.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段(我们写这篇文章是因为我们想让你看到冬天的可能性:不要仅仅满足于在滑雪场滑雪或在附近的湖上滑冰来度过一个简单又令人满意的一天,而是要看到冬天和夏天一样多姿多彩的一面。)可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励探索冬季挑战。故选D。
Ⅱ 七选五
People normally look for a bit of adventure in their lives. They hunt for something new, something unknown, and they learn new things about the world and themselves. __1__. Sailing in the Arabian Gulf, camping in the desert and traveling to Qatar—these could all be called adventures.
Most of the time, adventures can be rewarding, because they make you feel satisfied after doing them. __2__. For example, Ibn Battuta who lived 700 years ago had the courage to travel around the world, visiting new places and meeting new people. His journal, called the Rihla, can still be read today. __3__. There is another example, if you sail to an unknown part of the sea, you can tell people about what you discover in it like new islands or good fishing areas.
__4__. People have died when climbing dangerous mountains, racing cars or sailing ships. That is why staying safe is more important than looking for excitement. __5__. After all, there are plenty of other ways to explore this beautiful world we live in!
A.Adventures come in many forms
B.That may be followed by disasters

I knew nothing about the polar world three years ago and it feels so unreal to finally be here.”

“This expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push the envelope and to believe in themselves. You are capable of anything you want. No matter where you are from or where your start line is, everybody starts somewhere,” she said.
The army officer, who once had dreams of being a tennis champion, started from a camp by Union Glacier where even summer temperatures can fall to minus 50℃. She pulled her equipment on a journey that she thought would take 45 days at least.
She wrote on her website Polarpreet: “There are only a few female adventurers that have completed the expedition alone. It is time to add some more names, diversity and to make history. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model. I want my eight year old niece to grow up without limitation, knowing the possibilities of what you can achieve in life are endless.”
In 2019, there were nine successful expeditions to the South Pole from the coast, four of which were by women.

Picture a volcano. Now imagine that its main opening extends in a line. Now imagine that this line is so long that it runs for more than 40,000 miles through the deep dark area of all the world's oceans, surrounding the globe like the seams (接缝) of a baseball.
精深阅读
Welcome to one of the plane's strangest but important features, known as the mid ocean ridges (大洋中脊). Though long enough to circle the moon more than six times, they receive little notice because they lie hidden in total darkness. Ocean experts discovered their volcanic nature in 1973. Ever since, costly expeditions have slowly explored the undersea world, which typically lies more than a mile down.
The results can make the visions of Jules Verne (author of a famous adventure novel called Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) seem rather dull. The ridges feature long rift valleys and, down their middles, huge fields of hot springs that send tons of minerals into icy seawater, slowly building ugly hills and towers that can be rich in metals like gold and silver. One tower in the Pacific Ocean grew 15 stories high. A large number of snakelike tube worms and other strange creatures often blanket the hot features, and so do hungry food searchers such as spider crabs.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了探险队对大洋中脊的探索。
These creatures coexist with springs hot enough to melt lead or the plastic windows of large ships. With extreme care, humans and robots have measured temperatures as high as 780 degrees. To date, studies have been undertaken only now and then. Ridge expeditions were done fitfully, their schedules determined by changeable weather and budgets, not to mention the problem of crew and equipment availability.
1.What do we know about the mid ocean ridges
A.They are long and hot.
B.They are round like a baseball.
C.They were discovered by a diver.
D.They are caused by ocean movements.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though long enough to circle the moon more than six times (虽然它们的长度足以绕月球六圈以上)”和第四段中的“These creatures coexist ... of large ships.(这些生物与热度足以熔化铅或大型船舶塑料窗的泉水共存。)”可知,大洋中脊非常长且炎热。故选A。
2.Why does the author mention Jules Verne in Paragraph 3
A.To remember a famous adventure novel writer.
B.To stress how fantastic the mid ocean ridges are.
C.To tell the story of one of his famous works.
D.To describe what inspired his writing.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results can ... seem rather dull.(结果可能会让Jules Verne (儒勒·凡尔纳)(著名冒险小说《海底两万里》的作者)的想象显得相当乏味。)”及下文对大洋中脊的描述可推知,作者在第三段提到Jules Verne是为了强调大洋中脊有多神奇。故选B。
3.What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A.Humans have fully understood the nature and features of mid ocean ridges.
B.Ridge explorations are no longer necessary due to a lack of technology.
C.The budget for ridge expeditions is always enough.
D.Exploring the underwater world still faces numerous difficulties.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Ridge expeditions were ... and equipment availability.(大洋中脊的探险是断断续续进行的,其日程安排取决于多变的天气和预算,更不用说人员和设备的可用性问题了。)”可知,作者在最后一段中想表达探索海底世界仍然面临着许多困难。故选D。
4.Which one is the most suitable as the title of the article based on its content
A.Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Jules Verne's Dream Realized
B.Gold and Silver Mines Under the Waves: A Treasure Hunter's Guide
