Qomolangma is the world’s highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time.

That’s why a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to re-measure its height on May 6. They are equipped with the latest technology. It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is-29℃-four degrees lower than in Antarctica-and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain. That’s why it’s still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get reliable results.

But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?

In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (欧亚板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak’s height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of Earth’s crust (地壳).

The survey team will also get firsthand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau (青藏高原).

1.Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?

A.Researchers measures the height of Qomolangma every year.

B.There is no agreed-upon height of Qomolangma at present.

C.It’s easy to measure the height of Qomolangma.

D.The height of Qomolangma increases every year.

2.Which of the following words could replace “peak” in Paragraph 2?

A.point B.top C.base D.edge

3.What challenge will the Chinese survey team face?

A.A lack of water. B.Dangerous animals.

C.Bad weather conditions. D.The movement of Earth’s crust.

4.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A.Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important.

B.What is the height of Qomolangma.

C.How Qomolangma became the highest mountain.

D.How plate movements have affected the height of Qomolangma.

Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It's hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags

But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting(推广) a minimalist lifestyle(极简生活方式). He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin wasn’t strongly against it, so she got rid of 90 percent of her stuff. She also deleted(删除) 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.

We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true--and perhaps truer.

According to US sociologist Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’,”he said.

But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn't mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.

“They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyles at Euromonitor, said about Chinese youth.

So perhaps it all comes down to how we define(定义) “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about having a more colorful life?

1.The author mentioned the change of Lin Hanxing to _______.

A.introduce the minimalist lifestyle

B.encourage us readers to buy less

C.explain the popularity of owning less

D.explain the importance of a new lifestyle

2.What’s Lin Hanxing’s attitude towards the online challenge in the beginning?

A.She was very fond of it.

B.She thought it worth a try.

C.She was strongly against it.

D.She thought it must be painful.

3.According to the passage, young Chinese people care more about _______.

A.possessions B.culture

C.education D.clothes

4.If one is rich, he is more likely to _______.

A.spend less B.buy more

C.own less D.experience more

Londoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books-especially paperbacks, which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.

There are many streets in London containing bookshops. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the famous one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock or will make efforts to get any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap second-hand books, collectors must go to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small hand-carts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, sometimes, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.

1.“Londoners are great readers” means that _________.

A.Londoners are great because they read many books B.Only great readers live in London

C.Londoners are readers who read only great books D.Londoners read a lot

2.According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.

A.is in the suburbs of London B.is famous for its bookshops

C.contains only big shops D.is the cheapest place for Londoners to buy books

3.What do you know about Farringdon Road?

A.It is the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books.

B.Cheap second-hand books can be found there.

C.It is in the West Central district of London.

D.Few people like to buy books there.

4.The best topic for this passage is “__________”.

A.bookshops in London B.the biggest bookshop in the world

C.Charing Cross Road D.Londoners are great readers

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are _______ in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed _______ in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to _______ me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my _______. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them _______ various experiments.

I carried out a simple _______ to discover whether their differences in _______ was due to differences in their ability to _______ opportunities. I gave both the lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look _______ it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had ________ placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying … “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50.”

This ________ took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to ________ it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more ________ than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the ________. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too ________ on looking for something else. They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect partner and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers ________ to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of ________.

Lucky people are more ________ and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via four ________.

One of the best aspects of travel is in discovery. Whether you're burying yourself in a new culture or wandering the streets of a foreign city, you're finding new things to see and experience. Part of that discovery is in what you learn about yourself. 1..

Here are some of those ways:

◆ 2.

Travel means new foods, cultures and places to explore. Try speaking that new language or eat a new kind of food you never knew existed. When you’re thrown outside of your normal circumstances, you’ll discover more about who you are and what you're like.

◆ The chance to reinvent yourself

At home, people can see you a certain way and classify you into a personality type that can be hard to escape. 3.. You're free to break away from how people normally see you and reinvent yourself.

◆ Building confidence

You've just traveled across a country, tried a new language and bargained over prices in a market. They're all things you didn't know you could do before, but you dug up a new-found sense of adventure and somehow made it work. 4.. And the more challenges you take on, the more sure of yourself you become.

◆ Choices and organizing skills

What's the best route to take so I see all the major attractions? What's the best way to get to the next city and back so I don't miss my flight? How should I organize my itinerary (行程)? 5.. You have to organize your trip so that you have a place to stay and transportation to and from certain destinations.

A.With travel, come challenges

B.Travel is about making choices

C.Forcing you out of your comfort zone

D.Trips don't always go according to plan

E.Having time to reflect on your life

F.Travel can give you a chance to explore other sides of your personality

G.Like most experiences, travel can change you in ways you might never have expected

Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3-D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.

We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there’s a better choice. New digital-conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually(虚拟的), through 3-D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non-profit organizations.

To make a 3-D model, a laser(激光) scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping(重叠的) images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire-frame model. High-resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.

These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists(考古学家) can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3-D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3-D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.

1.How does the author show the necessity for 3-D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs?

A.By listing the threats to our human heritage.

B.By introducing some damaged historical sites.

C.By quoting some experts’ views on heritage protection.

D.By explaining UNESCO’s research on World Heritage Sites.

2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.The function of a laser scanner. B.The reflection of light off an object.

C.The process of making a 3-D model. D.The development of 3-D digital technology.

3.What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda?

A.It is metal-framed. B.It is still in its original condition.

C.It was once destroyed in an earthquake. D.It was reconstructed thanks to 3-D models.

4.What does the author intend to say through this text?

A.Never ignore the destructive power of war.

B.Take action to reduce pollution in historic places.

C.Take advantage of 3-D technology to keep history.

D.Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites.

A new kind of rice, golden rice, may soon make its way into the world’s food supply by the year 2021, reports Science magazine.

Golden rice was actually first developed back in the 1990s by German scientists who were looking for creative ways to reduce rates of Vitamin A deficiency(维生素A缺乏症) in human body, which continues to be a major concern throughout the developing world. Beta-carotene(胡萝卜素), which exists in some plants, can change into vitamin A in our body.

In view of beta-carotene’s characteristics, German scientists tried and managed to make rice filled with additional beta-carotene, which has a strong red orange color. The beta-carotene that is added to this rice is actually what conduces to its special golden color.

To German scientists, developing this rice was meaningful. But as with all GM(转基因的) crops, some people warn that the golden rice may be unnecessary and even harmful, possibly having some environment consequences. Until now, those voices have prevented golden rice from being planted anywhere.

However, that’s about to change. Bangladesh now plans to become the first country to approve golden rice for planting. Recently, golden rice is receiving a series of tests before the final approval of Bangladesh. Tests conducted by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) found no new farming challenges with golden rice and no big differences in quality between the crop and the traditional varieties, with the exception that golden rice is more nutritious. Some other organizations are still doing tests about the environmental influences of the crop. If those results are also good, then golden rice will have received all the approval it needs to move forward with planting.

As for the future market for the golden rice, the crop will need to gain the public’s trust. And it remains to be seen whether golden rice will offer a better nutritional and economical choice compared to other sources of vitamin A, such as other vegetables where it occurs naturally.

1.What was German scientists’ main purpose of working on rice?

A.To raise its output. B.To make it look prettier.

C.To collect its beta-carotene. D.To improve its vitamin A content in our body.

2.What does the underlined part “conduces to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Causes. B.Changes. C.Removes. D.Lightens.

3.What do BRRI’s tests show about golden rice?

A.It can hardly grow on the farmland of Bangladesh. B.It is nutritionally better than traditional rice.

C.It may do serious harm to the environment. D.It is no different from other rice in taste.

4.How is golden rice’s future market in the author’s opinion?

A.Promising. B.Worrying. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeless.

The other day, my wife and I were in Kent County when we saw smoke on the horizon. We went about our business for a little while, and then curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to go over and check out the fire. It turned out there was a brush fire that got out of control and grew from 25 acres to 100 acres.

What struck me most about that day was the word “volunteer” written on almost every piece of emergency equipment that I could see. No one was getting paid to fight the fire that day. They were there because they chose to be, not because they had to be.

How many of us would wake up early one fine Sunday morning, get dressed in hot, bulky(笨重的) clothing and risk our lives for no money and little reward? These folks do that all the time. I live in a densely populated(人口稠密的) area, and our local fire department is volunteer. Most of the time when we see these individuals, they are either on the way to or back from an emergency. We also occasionally see them collecting money on the side of the road. With either boots or helmets in hand, they ask for donations to keep them in the latest life-saving equipment. I think very few people give them the amount that’s equal to, say, a basic cable(缆绳) bill.

As a small business owner, I really can’t give these people enough money. And I don’t think our communities do enough to honor these people who risk their lives and volunteer. If you ever lose your faith in people, follow one of these trucks to a disaster and watch who jumps off and what they do. I believe you’ll be amazed by what total strangers are willing to do to protect you.

1.When the author was in Kent County the other day, he __________.

A.lost his business B.had a quarrel with his wife

C.witnessed a big fire D.acted as a volunteer firefighter

2.What does the question in Paragraph 3 mainly show?

A.Volunteer firefighters are really selfless.

B.Most of brush fires break out on Sundays.

C.Volunteers firefighters often get up earlier than others.

D.More and more people are ready to be volunteer firefighters.

3.How does the author feel about people’s donations to volunteer firefighters?

A.Disappointed. B.Confident. C.Curious. D.Excited.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Do what we can to prevent fires B.Don’t put yourself at risk of a fire

C.Keep a warm heart in volunteer work D.Don’t take volunteer firefighters for granted

How are you getting on? I don’t think this a good idea to travel a lot and visit as many places possible. Last July Bell pay a visit to Europe. Europe is very beautiful, but his holiday wasn’t very nicely. He visited several country, and was in each of the countries for only three days. He visited a great many of places of interest, and was always in a hurry. When he returned from Europe, he was very tiring. So I suggest you spent your holiday in a different way. You’d better travelled with a friend to one country and visit only one city, that will do good to your body and mind.

A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.

●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 1.

●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes.2. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.

●Always carry a book. 3.When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.

●4.Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There shouldn’t be a television or a computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/ roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.

●Reduce television/ the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 5.Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet/ TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.

A.Go to bookstores.

B.Find a quiet place.

C.This may be difficult for some people.

D.Wherever you go, take a book with you.

E.Have some good tea or coffee while you read.

G.If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.

Reading can be a social activity．Think of the people who belong to book groups．They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them．Now the website BookCrossing．com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group．

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share．BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book．Then the person leaves it in a public place，hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．

Bruce Pederson，the managing director of BookCrossing，says，"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read．BookCrossing combines both．"

Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops．Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it．

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it．E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found．Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home．

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the"real"and not the virtual（虚拟）．The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries．

While a man was passing by an elephant, he suddenly stopped. The elephant was held by only a small rope. The farmer ties the rope to the elephant's front leg. No chains, no cages. The man was very confused. He wanted to know why the elephant didn't run away.

He visited the farmer and asked why the elephant just stood there and didn't run away. "Well," the farmer said, "when it was very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie it. At that age, the rope was strong enough to hold it. Of course it couldn't run away. When it grew up, it still believed the rope could hold it. So it never tried to run away."

The man was very amazed. In fact, the grown-up elephant could run away at any time. But it didn't run away just because it believed it couldn't. As a result, it was stuck right there.

We have such problems in our life. Sometimes we don't think we can deal with the problems. Sometimes we fail to deal with them. It's not wise to stop struggling. See? Failure is part of learning. We should never give up the struggle.
