Today, Mount Qomolangma's peak is not a lonely place any more. More than 3,500 people have successfully climbed the 8,844m mountain, and more than a tenth of that number reached the peak just over the past year. As more and more people try to test themselves against Qomolangma, many a time the mount can be very crowded. Climbers have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks(狭窄路段) on the way to the peak. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.

But the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's tallest rubbish dump. Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: "The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are not only dangerously crowded but also badly polluted."

But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountaineer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they've collected over 13 tons of garbage.

Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They've changed the cans and oxygen tanks—in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish off the mountain.

1.What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma's peak?

A. They are relatively safe.

B. They are often crowded.

C. They are very easy to pass.

D. They are sites of base camps.

2.What does the underlined word "gear" mean?

A. Useful equipment for climbing mountains.

B. The water from the mountain.

C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.

D. Some cans and oxygen tanks found on the mountain.

3.The group of 15 Nepali artists ____.

A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma

B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association

C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trash

D. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma's peak

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

A. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma

B. Qomolangma has Become a Huge Mess

C. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful

D. How to Climb Qomolangma

Dear Sir or Madam,

Knowing that our library is going to buy more books, I’d like to give some advices.

What we need most are popular science books, that usually explain basic principles of the nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arousing our curiosity about scientific discoveries.

In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is how I recommend another category of books: literary books. These classic works, writing by great masters , present noble thoughts through fascinating stories and beautifully language. It not only provide us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically.

I would appreciate this if you could consider my recommendation.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入最恰当的单词。

注意:每空一词

When it comes to making sure our food is safe, we are often advised to wash vegetables and fruits before eating. This has been a good method recommended by food safety experts. However, is this way of cleaning also useful for raw meat? No! The US Departement of Agriculture hs been warning people against washing raw meat before cooking , as it can do more harm than good to our health. Then, why do people want to wash raw meat? Here are some answers.

Some people complain that the unpleasant smell coming from the chicken forces them to wash it.Well, this might never happen if you have bought it from a reliable source. Also, many people say that it helps to get rid of the sliminess(粘连) of the store-bought chicken. And others just want to remove the bacteria from it. But the idea that washing meat helps to clean the chicken is only partly true. This is because some of the bacteria remain firm on the surface, though the meat has been washed several times.

In fact, the surface of the chicken is often polluted with a lot of bacteria. So, when you wash the meat under the tap, it can lead to the bacteria being removed from the meat’s surface, and spreading all over the kitchen. These small infected(受到污染的)water drops can move as far as half a meter. So if you have kept any ready-to-serve dishes on your kitchen top, they are likely to get polluted, and may cause food poisoning if they are eaten.

Of course, if you are really serious about food safety, make sure that the chicken is cooked in a proper way. Eating undercooked meat is another common cause of food poisoning. Bacteria can be killed by the heat of above 70℃. This is the best way to get the bacteria present on raw meat destroyed.

In conclusion, food safety is important but that doesn’t mean that you have to wash raw meat with running water, which carries a lot of health risks.

Should raw meat be washed before cooking?

Topic

Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam — became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.

“(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”

During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.

“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.

Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.

“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.

Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.

Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.

Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.

“FedEx Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”

The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.

Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.

1.We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.

A. was a healthy boy

B. was popular at an early age

C. sang the song with his sister

D. worked in his father’s company

2. Opening Hearts is a book that _____.

A. is a best seller

B. is about Sam’s sister

C. was published when Sam was 13

D. was written by Sam and his mother

3.What is FedEx Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?

A. Doubtful. B. Surprised.

C. Approving. D. Uninterested.

4.Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?

A. Optimistic and warm-hearted.

B. Honest and responsible.

C. Unusual and confident.

D. Friendly and brave.

Since childhood, I have developed a strong interest in storytelling and watching films.

Except that, I am the monitor of my class and thus have gained many experience in management.

I will undertake full responsibility and spare no effort to do my share of work. I am full convinced that through communication with the staffs, I can get some valuable work experience as well as develop my social skills.

I’m looking forward receiving your reply soon. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours,
