Xia Boyu, 70, is the first Chinese double amputee(被截肢者) to have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, Du Juan reports.

On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma(Mount Everest) seven days after leaving Base Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain.

Success didn’t come easy. He had failed to reach the 8,844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world.

The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960. Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974. In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite(冻伤) in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees.

“It’s beyond imagination how difficult it was to accept the fact that I would suddenly become a disabled person.” Xia recalls. “I could not imagine a fixture of sitting in a wheelchair, perhaps forever?”

When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs(义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he made up his mind to climb Qomolangma again.

To prepare for his fifth attempt(尝试) on Qomolangma, every day he got up at five in the morning and completed 90 minutes of strength training at home. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30 kilometers from his home, walk to the top and then ride back home. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he completed 10 km of speed walking.

“Without targets, people lose direction,” Xia says. “So I will keep climbing and contributing in more ways to society.”

【1】Which is the correct order according to the passage?

a. Xia had to be amputated at the knees immediately after the climb.

b. Xia joined the Chinese Mountaineering team.

c. Xia made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma.

d. Xia tried four times but failed, so he prepared for the fifth.

e. Chinese team set for the first climb to the top of Qomolangma.

A．e-b-d-c-a

B．b-a-e-c-d

C．b-e-a-d-c

D．e-b-a-d-c

【2】What do we know from the passage?

A．Xia was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma.

B．Xia was 72 when he made his dream come true.

C．The Base Camp lay on the Chinese side of the mountain.

D．Xia reached the top of the world in 2018.

【3】We can learn all the following EXCEPT that ________.

A．Xia felt it unimaginable to be sitting in a wheelchair all his life

B．Xia lost hope after a doctor explained about his artificial limbs

C．it took Xia a long time to make full preparations for his fifth attempt

D．Xia had failed to reach the peak four times before his fifth attempt

【4】What can replace the underlined word “targets” in the last paragraph?

【5】What is the passage most probably taken from?

25、   “Mosquitoes are more likely to bite people with type O blood (O型血).” Have you heard someone say this before? It’s not true!

I’m not very picky (挑剔的) about blood types. In fact, I cannot tell which blood type you are. Only doctors can do that. So how do I choose who to bite?

I can smell the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) on people’s breath. The more you breathe out, the more easily I can find you. This means larger and fatter people are more likely to get my “kiss”. 

I can also find food by smelling. You play outside and start sweating (出汗) all over. I can smell the lactic acid (乳酸) in your sweat. So yummy! 

I also use my eyes to find food. But my eyesight (视力) is not very good. If you are trying to avoid me, do not wear colors such as black, red or dark blue.

It’s only females who have a taste for blood. They need it for their eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite. For a proud mosquito mother, not just any blood will do.

【1】Mosquitoes cannot _____

A.smell anything B.tell blood types C.see anything D.breathe

【2】Mosquitoes are more likely to bite people _____.

A.who wear white clothes B.who are short and thin

C.who just finished exercising D.who smell sweet

【3】What do we know about mosquitoes?

A.Male mosquitoes live on carbon dioxide.

B.Mosquitoes like strong and sweet smells.

C.Mosquitoes drink all types of blood.

D.Only male mosquitoes bite  people.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

a. Why male mosquitoes bite.

b. How to kill mosquitoes.

c. Who mosquitoes like to bite.

d. What mosquitoes can smell.

A.a. b B.c. d C.a. c D.b. d
