21、People climbing Mount Everest are two times as likely to reach the top and less likely to die on the climb than 20 years ago, a new study finds. Everest, high in the Himalayans, is the tallest mountain above sea level on Earth. It reaches 8,848 meters into the sky.
Between 2006 and 2019, around two thirds of climbers were successful in their attempt to reach the top. In the 15 years before that, only about one—third went all the way to the top.
The number of attempts to reach the top of Everest has risen sharply over the years, leading to a 300 percent increase in overcrowding. In 2019, 955 climbers tried to reach the mountaintop. Only 222 people did so in 2000.
The study noted that on a single day in May of last year, 396 climbers had gathered at the narrow path just below the top. The area, known as the “death zone,” is so narrow that only a small number of climbers can pass through, one directly behind another.
Nine climbers died on Everest in May 2019. It was the deadliest Everest climbing season since 2015 when an earthquake killed at least 18 people on the mountain.
A picture of climbers waiting their tun to go up and down through the death zone became famous as it was shared online. Yet researchers say the crowds were not the main reason for the deaths last year. “Surprisingly crowding has no evident effect on success or death” of Everest climbers, the study said.
However, overcrowding does make the climb more dangerous. “If crowding slows climbers (as is expected), this increases their exposure to the elements, which should increase risk of an accident or illness,” said Raymond B. Huey, lead writer of the report.
An unexpected storm, earthquake, or landslide could be disastrous, he told Reuters by email.
Climbers have expressed concern about giving anyone willing to pay the government $11,000 permission to climb Everest. Nepal plans to change its policy to require climbers to use guides, and meet physical fitness and experience qualifications, said tourism department official Mira Acharya.
Nepal temporarily closed its mountains to climbers because of the coronavirus health crisis. Now they are open again. However, Acharya noted that flights into and within Nepal have not restarted.
【1】Supposing 900 people took part in the climbing Mount Everest between 1990 and 2005, how many of them reached the top?
A．300.
B．400.
C．500.
D．600
【2】Why does overcrowding make the climbing more dangerous?
A．Because it surprisingly leads to death for those climbers.
B．Because it stopped the climbers from reaching the top at the area called “death zone”.
C．Because it exposes climbers to increasing risk of an accident or illness.
D．Because it gets climbers stranded in “death zone” and unable to get further supplies.
【3】According to the report, what is the possible reason for overcrowding?
A．More people want to experience the climbing to the top of Mount Everest.
B．A picture of climbers waiting to reach the top inspires more people to give it a try.
C．Nepal government gives climbers permission without restrictions.
D．More people want to climb the Mount Everest before Nepal takes restrictions.
【4】What is the general idea of this passage?
A．Climbers are more likely to lose their lives before Reaching Top of Mount Everest.
B．More climbers need to be trained before climbing Mount Everest.
C．Enough experience in climbing mountains matters so much.
D．Climbers are twice as likely to reach top of Mount Everest than in Past.
22、Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. Here are some common ones. Which are really green?
? It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath----about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
? Eating local food is good for the environment.
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away.
?_____________________________
When we tun off a device, such as television, it goes into stand-by mode. Devices in this mode still use power, and older devices in stand-by mode can use even more. This happens because electricity continues to leak from the device, even when it is turned “off”. To make sure your appliances are in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
【1】What food is more environmentally friendly?
A．It all depends.
B．None of them.
C．Local produce.
D．Non-native food.
【2】Which of the following best suits the blank?
A．When you turn off a device, it still uses power.
B．When you tun off a device, it stops using power.
C．Unplugging a device is better than turning off a device.
D．Going into stand-by mode is better than turning off a device.
【3】Why does the author write this passage?
A．To tell the truth about some “green truths”.
B．To call on people to protect the environment.
C．To explain the significance of energy-saving.
D．To present some practical ways to reduce waste.
23、 At age 12, Keegan Sobilo of New Baltimore carefully tucks his legs and arms into a fire suit, pulls on a helmet and climbs into a race car that exceeds 80 mph. He has been doing this since age 8.
“At first, I was scared to death. I was like, ‘Let’s do bowling or swimming.’ It’s still very scary. ”But he knows what he’s doing. “Your heart goes out on that track every time he goes out there,” said his mother Hillary Sobilo.
“The sixth-grader always wears pajamas to the track every night and takes them off when he puts his race clothes on. He’s been doing that for the last four years. That’s his trademark,” said Tim Phillips, his crew chief. The first time he wore his train pajamas to the track, Keegan went from last place to ninth place. He decided they brought luck. Since then, he has won a series of championships.
Passion for cars runs in the family. Keegan’s father is a design mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He knows what it means to have seats and roll cages built to fit his son’s body. “What I see in Keegan is passion, like how I feel about car restoration. But for him, everything has to align itself. I tell my son you have to be the perfect package. Winning races every weekend is not the only key. More importantly, you have to have the right name, you have to look the correct way, speak the correct way, and act the correct way. Then the rest of it is really luck, like the stock market. If you don’t put yourself out there, you’ll never hit it big.”
While Keegan’s classmates play basketball and volleyball, Keegan is at the Birch Run track—practicing, qualifying and racing until 10 p.m. or 2 a.m. While many children spend time playing video games, Keegan runs race simulation training with his joystick after school.
“The kid is cool. It was like having a grandson. We showed respect to each other. And he takes it very seriously,” said competitor Mike Todd, 69, of Galesburg, Michigan. “He’s an older soul in a young man’s body. I’d like to see him make it big. He’s got the willpower.”
【1】Keegan enjoys ________.
A．swimming
B．bowling
C．racing cars
D．playing games
【2】According to the passage, what does Keegan’s father value most?
A．Victory.
B．Safety.
C．Good qualities.
D．Real luck.
【3】What can we conclude from the words of Mike Todd?
A．Keegan looks older than he actually is.
B．Mike Todd is optimistic about Keegan's future.
C．Mike Todd is Keegan’s grandfather.
D．Keegan has a bad relationship with the other competitors.
【4】It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A．Keegan spends a lot of time practicing
B．the train pajamas bring Keegan success
C．Keegan’s mother worries about his studies
D．Keegan picked up the hobby at the age of 4
24、More people are watching birds today than ever before; its popularity as a hobby has been growing rapidly over the past few years. But why do people take up bird-watching? 【1】
It’s year-round. Unlike many hobbies, birding is non-seasonal. 【2】 Spring is the best season for birds to migrate and nest; in summer, you can see and hear young birds and observe local breeding birds before they’re gone again; fall migration brings its own excitement and changes in bird populations; in winter, you can enjoy feeding birds and watching the birds that over-winter in the area.
It’s economical. The degree of your involvement is up to you.
【3】 No expensive equipment is necessary to enjoy watching birds. All you need may be a good field guide and a proper binocular (双筒望远镜). Anything more is optional.
【4】The more you learn about birds, their needs, and the challenges many species face, the more concerned and involved you’re likely to become in supporting wildlife habitat conservation and restoration efforts. This involvement can be on many levels, from making sure your own property poet birds and other wildlife to educating others about the needs of bird populations.
It often leads down other paths. Watching birds in many cases causes involvement in other interests. 【5】 Many people also develop an interest in wildflowers or dragonflies(蜻蜓). An increasing number of bird watchers travel to see birds. There are bird and nature festivals and bird-watching tours to birding hotspots all over the world. Birding, therefore, could turn you into a world traveler!
A．It involves walking in nature.
B．It might change with the seasons.
C．It promotes habitat conservation.
D．And so is the cost of being involved.
E．Bird watchers these days are often butterfly watchers, too.
F．You may start watching birds or feeding them in your yard.
G．The following are some reasons for becoming a bird watcher.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Karie checked the words on her spelling test again. If she got full marks today, she'd win her class' First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. -o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! Should spelled honesty, not honestly. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote 1-y before handing in her paper.
Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then. Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack's feet flipped (空翻) into the air "Congratulations! Karie! You did it!" she announced while upside down.
The whole class burst into applause! Ms McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
"Everything OK?" Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn't answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the midair. She just couldn't believe her own eyes. Honesly? YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y
Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a "t" is exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Karie plodded (重步走) down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn't earned the prize after all? That Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing?
