Yates and Simpson reached the top of the mountain and became the first people to climb the Siula Grande by the west face. But a disaster happened on the way down. Simpson fell and broke his leg. The men were running out of water and needed to get back to their camp, about 900 metres below, to get treatment for Simpson.
Yates tried to help Simpson to climb down the mountain. He started to lower him down the mountain on a rope. But the rope tangled(缠结) and Simpson was hanging in the mid-air. Yates couldn’t see or hear Simpson, but he could feel himself being pulled down the mountain. He tried to stop himself slipping. He held on for an hour but finally decided that Simpson must be dead. So he cut the rope, to stop himself from being pulled over the edge, and let Simpson fall.
In fact, Simpson was not dead. He fell another 100 feet and landed on a bridge of ice. From there he crawled(爬行) for three days, without food or water, until he reached the camp. Yates was shocked that he had almost killed his friend, but Simpson said he would have done exactly the same thing.

26、According to a new scientific research, we are rapidly going close to major climate change and the effects on the environment could be quite serious. Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder andtropicalregions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.
Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
【1】What’s the writer’s attitude toward the climate changes?
A. We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.
B. We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.
C. We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.
D. We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.
【2】What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?
A. cold and dry B. cool and wet
C. hot and wet D. warm and dry
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.
B. The climate will be much better than we have expected.
C. Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years’ time.
D. The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A. It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.
B. It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.
C. It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.
D. It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.
27、 There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "
The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺)! "
"What a proud flower! " thought the trees.
As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
"The cactus has water?" asked the rose.
Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help. "
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.
The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.

28、 Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词, 首字母已给)
Hello, everyone. I arrived in China a few months ago. Like every other foreigner, I had to f 【1】a few “culture shocks”. Here I would like to share a few of such culture shocks.
It is known to all that China holds 20% of world’s total population but even then it comes as a s【2】when one steps outside into public areas and sees a flood of people who at first look almost the same, all dark haired with dark eyes.
The next on my list is the language problem. When one first decides to go to China the first thought that crosses a【3】mind is “how am I going to communicate?!!?” Although most Chinese are very interested in the English language, the fact remains that except the major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the English language knowledge of most Chinese is very poor if not zero. L【4】 , you would always be able to find help.
The third is the silent but keen interest of Chinese towards the foreigners. There are times when you would be sitting in a bus or just passing by and you would n 【5】 someone trying to take picture.
Now the next one is my f【6】one. Chinese have the same love ... FOOD. You start walking anywhere in China and after every 5 steps you will come across a food stall. Honestly, I have never seen a food place empty in China no matter what is being sold there.
But frankly speaking, no matter what a foreigner goes through, life in China can be a total adventure and one thing is certain that the Chinese are the most h【7】and the most sweet natured people one could ever come across anywhere in the world. Whenever I meet with difficulty, I am sure to get a hand from the strangers to solve my problem.

When I went to my beach house, Nicole helped _________ my mail and water my plants. And when she traveled as a flight attendant, I did the same for her. Wherever she went, she’d remember to bring me wonderful gifts, _________ her smile has been the greatest of all.
In 1997, I had a lovely child and it was Nicole who took care of me and him. Years later, I returned the favour. I helped out when her husband was ill, staying with her and giving her _________. More and more, we drew inspiration from each other.
_________, the pandemic hit. My husband was out of work and my son couldn’t be back to Britain because of the virus. I was _________ about them. Nicole helped my family to prepare for the pandemic and shared necessities with me. _________ her, I couldn’t go through difficult times.
