21、Mr. Everest is no longer an inaccessible giant. More than 4,000 people have stood on the world's highest peak since 1953. Last year alone, more than 650 people made it to the top.

But as the crowds have grown, so too has the list of stories coming from the mountain: long lines over train, and conflict over the value of Sherpas.

For people who want a more drama-free climbing experience, the globe is filled with other peaks worth tackling.

There are literally 13 other mountains over 8,000 meters and some get virtually no attention. They are very challenging mountains that would be an equal feather in someone's hat to climb with many routes still to be discovered, unlike Everest." Mountains taller than 8,000 meters (more than 26,000 feet) are rare and exceptionally challenging to climb, purely for the lack of oxygen at such height. Above 8,000 m, it becomes so difficult to breathers that climbers call it the “death zone."

The Himalayas contain all 14 of the world's 8,000 meter-plus peaks, which are among Nepal, China, India and Pakistan. Among those, Everest is not only the tallest. It's also accessible by hiking for about a week and a half after flying into Lukla.

From there, the mountain is loaded with equipment, including a cell phone tower and Sherpas who fix ropes for Western climbers. That makes the climb far less technical than it otherwise would be.

Why Do People Keep Climbing Mt. Everest? “It's certainly not the easiest climb because of the height, ”said Alan Amette, a mountaineer and Everest blogger in Fort Collins, Colo. I hate the word 'easy' for any 8,000-meter mountain. A better word is achievable. Everest is achievable.”

One emerging alternative to Everest is K2, the world's second tallest mountain -- at 8,611 m(28,251 feet) to Everest's 8,848 m (29,029 feet). But for every four or so people who have summited K2, one person has died trying, Arnette said, for a total of 300 successful climbs and 81 deaths.

On Everest, by comparison, the ratio of successes to deaths is about 24 to one with more than 6,000 summits and about 250 deaths. K2 is a "loose" mountain with lots of rock fall and avalanche(雪崩) activity, Amette said. Its main route also goes up the east side, making climbers get affected by incoming storms.

【1】The term “Death Zone" is used to describe an area________.

A．that is 8,000 meters high with the shortage of oxygen

B．where there is the highest rate of death in mountain-climbing

C．where climbers are unable to breathe

D．where breathers are very likely to die due to the height.

【2】Which of the following is true of the Himalayas?

A．They cover as many as four countries.

B．They contain ten peaks over 8,000 meters.

C．Everest is its tallest and easiest peak to climb.

D．Everest is its peak with good technical support.

【3】K2 is more challenging to climb than Mt Everest in that________.

A．more people died in mountain-climbing.

B．more natural disasters occur due to its loose quality.

C．there are more snow storms happening on average.

D．storms are more unpredictable at the peak.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Introduction to mountain climbing.

B．The challenges of the tallest mountains.

C．Climbing the most challenging mountains in the world.

D．How to overcome difficulties as mountaineers.

22、   Name-calling, teasing, pushing and fighting-whether you have gone through it or not, it is quite definite that these are the things that turn up in your mind when you hear the word "bullying". However, many of us know little about the serious, lasting harms bullying could cause.

If you've watched 13 Reasons Why, you'll understand the impacts that bullying can have. The second season of the popular US teenage drama was released on May 18. It tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school student who takes her own life after she's picked on by fellow students, while others stand by and do nothing to help her.

One of the important messages audiences could get from the show is to treat people with kindness and respect. "It teaches us that every single thing we say and do has an impact on others, "news platform Odyssey concluded.

Some may think 13 Reasons Why exaggerates（夸大）the seriousness of school bullying, but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2016, and only 36% of this group reported it.

NBA player Gerald Green opened up about being called "alien hands" during his teenage years due to his big hands. "Being bullied was embarrassing, " he said. "I still remember shying away from crowds and walking around with my hands in my pockets to evade the attention from my peers. "To get away with the teasing, he found his motivation by playing basketball and making a career out of it. But not everyone is so lucky to discover a release.

According to statistics released by the US government, if someone prevents a bully, there's a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds. So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim. As US actor Brandon Flynn, who stars in 13 Reasons Why, said, "Just because you're not the one getting bullied, it doesn't mean it's not your problem. "

【1】What is the purpose of the last paragraph？

A.To add more statistics.

B.To call on eyewitnesses to take action.

C.To introduce a new topic of the discussion.

【2】What does the US National Center for Educational Statistics indicate？

A.Bullying isn't a serious problem in many schools.

B.School bullying can't cause too much pain.

C.Only a few people are concerned about bullying.

D.Many people who're bullied choose not to seek help.

【3】What does the underlined word in Para. 5 mean？

A.Attract. B.Focus. C.Avoid. D.Keep.

【4】What does the text tell us about 13 Reasons Why？

A.It overstates school bullying.

B.It was first shown on May 18.

C.It is mainly about school bullying.

D.It shows few people can report bullying.

23、China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However, people still use their bicycles to get around．For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue，yellow, whatever you want．

It’s fun people biking．They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide．

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle．Great weather accompanied my great buy．I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．

My first ride home was orderly．To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times．I didn't want to get hit．So I took the ride carefully．

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States．The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck．

I finally made it home．The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful．I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people．Biking made me feel alive．

24、As we all know, millions of people worldwide cook their food over smoky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.

Solar cooker, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in seventeen sixty-seven. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.

There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker, It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box .Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.

The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It includes several flat walls or panels that directly reflect the sun’s light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya ,for example ,panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.

The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven .Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens .However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun .Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.

You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at two hundred thirty-two degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.

【1】If you have much food to cook , you’d better choose________ .

A. a box cooker     B. a panel cooker

C. a parabolic cooker   D. a paper cooker

【2】According to the passage we can conclude that ______.

A. panel cooker is easy to make

B. box cooker is easy to make

C. box cooker is the most effective oven

D. panel cooker is the cheapest oven of the three

【3】What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A. To advertise the solar ovens.

B. To help readers to save cost on fuel.

C. To tell the readers how to make solar ovens.

D. To give the readers brief introduction of solar ovens.

25、Scientists say that the brains of animals and humans risk severe damage without blood ow and oxygen. But, researchers say they were able to ________ some activity in the brains of pigs that had been killed four hours earlier. Nenad Sestan, one of the Yale School of Medicine researchers, said that by medical ________, the brains were not living brains. He added that the brains could not think or sense anything.

The researchers, however, found that cells within brains that have lost their supply of blood and oxygen could ________ longer than scientists had believed. The research might ________ new medical treatments for stroke and other conditions. It also provides a new way to study the brain and how drugs work in it. The 32 brains in the study came from pigs that had been killed for food. The scientists put the brains into a device in their lab. Four hours after the animal died, they began pumping a specially designed blood ________ through the organs. After six hours, scientists found that individual brain cells in one area of the brain had ________ to keep important details of their structure. And when they sent electric signals to the brains, the cells ________ in a way that showed viability (可生存性).

The scientists studied the artificial blood before and after it entered the treated brains. They found the brain cells were ________ blood sugar and oxygen and producing carbon dioxide: a(n) ________ hat they were working. They also found that blood pathway in treated brains reacted to a drug that makes them wider. But the brains did not show large amounts of activity that would be a sign of consciousness. The scientists said restoring consciousness was not the ________ of the study, and that they did not know whether it was possible. The scientists said that they had no ________ to try their methods on human brains at this time. ________, they arc now looking to keep the study for longer than six hours of treatment.

Chris-tof Koch, president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, who did not take part in the study, said he was surprised by the results, ________ since they came from such a large animal. He said the study could increase our knowledge to bring people back to the land of living after a drug overdose. He suggested it also could ________ treatments for a patient when the brain has not received enough oxygen for an hour or two.

26、阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My name is Adam and I'm a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.

Firstly I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take, I turned to the school adviser for advice, He is very kind and patient He helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to have a very good command of it and' be fluent when I graduate. My adviser also recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I'm good at it

Secondly, I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy and in low spirits, but I won't quit. I'm determined to practice more and make improvements on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.

注意:1.续写词数应为150左右:2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Besides, in my first math class,I found the teacher speak too fast.
