26、Mount Qomolangma, meaning “Holy Mother” in Tibetan, is the world’s highest mountain above sea level. Most people consider climbing to its top as one of their biggest achievements. More than 4,000 climbers, aging from 13 to 80, have managed to reach the top.
You may be surprised at these numbers but that’s just the start of it. Last year, cleanup crews collected as much as 8.4 tons of rubbish from Mount Qomolangma’s North Base Camp in Tibet at 5, 150 meters. And in the regions below that level, more than 335 tons of waste was collected. It is a sad fact that the highest mountain in the world is turning into the highest mountain of waste!
To reverse the situation, the Chinese government recently announced that it had closed the North Base Camp to tourists. From now on, ordinary tourists will only be able to travel as far as Rongbuk Monastery, about 5,000 meters above sea level. No more than 300 climbers with special permits will be allowed to climb Qomolangma each year. They are supposed to follow stricter rules, including carrying all their waste out with them and only climbing in spring.
Despite these tough measures, it is clear that tourism has caused much damage to the natural environment. Mount Qomolangma is not alone. Some popular parks around the world are also struggling to preserve their environments and keep up with tourism. Yellowstone Nation Park in the U. S. has long been troubled by the rubbish piles. Joshua Tree National Park suffered a wave of damage, with ancient trees destroyed. In order to protect the environment, the National Park Service had no choice but to close the park for a while.
As we can see, the natural environment can be destroyed by human activities in less than five minutes, but it might take hundreds of years to recover. Now it’s time for ordinary tourists to leave “Holy Mother” alone and wait for her to restore her beauty.
【1】Why are the figures about Mount Qomolangma mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To introduce how high it is.
B.To tell how hard it is to collect waste.
C.To show what a popular tourist attraction it is.
D.To explain what serious pollution it is suffering.
【2】What does the underlined word “reverse” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Increase.
B.Follow.
C.Change.
D.Inspire.
【3】How does the author prove his idea in paragraph 4?
A.By offering data.
B.By giving examples.
C.By telling stories.
D.By making comparisons.
【4】Which section of a newspaper might this article come from?
A.Environment.
B.Society.
C.Science.
D.Education.

28、London, being one of the most important cities of the modern world, is also a most visited tourist destination. With enormous political, economic, and cultural influence, the city has been the centre of the western world for hundreds of years. It’s difficult to imagine that less than 2,000 years ago, this energetic city was nothing more than a remote settlement for the western superpower of that time: the mighty Roman Empire.
In 55 BC, the Romans founded a small port settlement on the banks of the River Thames called Londinium. Within 150 years, Londinium’s population had risen to 45,000 and it had become a major trading post. While modern London is surely far bigger, ancient Londinium is still there in the heart of the city, where it’s more commonly known as the City of London. This area is the important financial centre of Britain. 【1】 He built himself a royal castle to protect his power.
【2】 To answer this question, we really need to consider what was happening across Europe. At the height of its power, the Roman Empire held ups and downs over most of Europe, as well as huge areas of Africa. While this had brought the Romans considerable wealth and power, it had brought them to a breaking point in terms of their ability to control their territories (领土) and maintain political power. Eventually, the empire began to fade. Rome stopped sending soldiers to help Londonium. By 407 AD, the Romans had abandoned the city altogether, and for the next 650 years, the Anglo-Saxons ruled the area. 【3】 As a coastal settlement, Londoners were constantly under threat of Viking attacks. More peaceful times came when Alfred the Great finally defeated the Vikings, and when his son, King Edward the Confessor, moved his Royal Court to Westminster Abbey in around 1040, London became the official royal city of England.
This continued to be the case when the Normans conquered Britain in 1066, and their leader, William the Conqueror, was crowned the first Norman King of England in Westminster Abbey. 【4】 Today it is known as the Tower of London.
A.So how did London get its start?
B.These were difficult, bloody centuries.
C.He built himself a royal castle to protect his power.
D.He moved his royal court out of Westminster Abbey.
E.But if Londinium was booming, why did the Romans leave?
F.While it is part of modern London, it is also technically a distinct county.
29、Spending time with your kids is the best way to give them you attention. No matter whether you stay at home or work outside the home, you can still give quality time to your kids. Quality time doesn’t mean the whole family sitting for four hours watching TV. It means turning the TV off and playing games together, reading books, going for walks---anything!
Giving kids your attention means listening to them when they talk. I don’t mean half-way listening and saying “uh huh” like we do to our spouses (配偶) when they’re talking about their day at work. I mean sitting down, looking children in the eye, and listening. Ask questions. Be interested. It shows that you’re paying attention, even if your question is just, “So you say you painted the cat blue?”
Raising kids is not the time to be selfish with your time. You can be selfish later on when they’re grown and having kids of their own. If you feel guilty about not being able to spend enough time with your kids, resist trying to buy their attention. You don’t have to make every weekend a Disneyland day. And you don’t have to continually buy them gifts as a means of letting them know you love them. The answer is “time”. Time is what they want most from you.
Your kids, no matter what age, are on some type of schedule. They get up, eat breakfast, eat lunch, eat dinner, etc. What do they do the rest of the time? Fill up some of the empty spots in their schedules with activities. Have them help you do something around the house or make them take part in a project with you. This is how day care workers are able to keep so many kids under control---they fill up the day with activities.
