【題目】 Qomolangma is the world’s highest mountain. （A）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.（B）They are equipped (配備) with the latest technology, including a global navigation satellite system receiver and a radar (雷達(dá)).

It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is -29 C – four degrees lower than in Antarctica – and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (無(wú)人機(jī)) 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 (可靠的) 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 (板塊) meets the Indian plate.（C） 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 (地殼).

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.

【1】把文中(A)處劃線句子翻譯成漢語(yǔ)。

【2】把文中(C)處劃線句子翻譯成漢語(yǔ)。

【3】寫(xiě)出（B）處劃線單詞指代的內(nèi)容。

【4】寫(xiě)出文中提到的兩個(gè)板塊。

【5】簡(jiǎn)要概況本文大意。

【答案】

【1】你可能從課本上學(xué)到它的高度是8844米。

【2】它是由于三千八百萬(wàn)年前，這兩個(gè)板塊相撞而形成的。

【3】30 members/30 members in the Chinese survey team

【4】the Eurasian plate, the Indian plate

【5】It is about measuring the height of Qomolangma.

【解析】

本文講述了人類(lèi)測(cè)量珠穆朗瑪峰的高度并對(duì)其進(jìn)行研究。

【1】

本句中含有一個(gè)以that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句。may意為“可能”；learn from意為“從……中學(xué)到”；textbooks意為“課本”；height意為“高度”。故答案為：你可能從課本上學(xué)到它的高度是8844米。

【2】

本句是以as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句。formed意為“形成”；38 million years ago意為“三千八百萬(wàn)年前”；the two plates意為“這兩個(gè)板塊”；hit each other意為“相互碰撞”。故答案為：它是由于三千八百萬(wàn)年前，這兩個(gè)板塊相撞而形成的。

【3】

根據(jù)第二段“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. 這就是為什么一個(gè)由30人組成的中國(guó)勘測(cè)隊(duì)將于5月6日到達(dá)珠穆朗瑪峰，重新測(cè)量珠穆朗瑪峰的高度�！�，可知后一句的they指代的是“由30人組成的中國(guó)勘測(cè)隊(duì)”，故答案為：30 members/30 members in the Chinese survey team。

【4】

根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (板塊) meets the Indian plate.”，可知珠穆朗瑪峰位于歐亞板塊與印度板塊交匯處，故答案為：the Eurasian plate, the Indian plate。

【5】

本文主要講述了人類(lèi)測(cè)量珠穆朗瑪峰的高度并對(duì)其進(jìn)行研究，“測(cè)量高度”為measure the height，故答案為：It is about measuring the height of Qomolangma.

【題目】 It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.

Suddenly, I hear it: the howl（嚎叫)of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.

I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.

Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy —a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park. As a result, the number of elk （麋鹿）in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves. This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.

The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.

The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money. Tourists visit the area, stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.

Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone. And happily, it is playing a good guy in this story.

【1】According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker’s jobs is to________.

A.catch wolves in the parkB.feed wolves in the wild

C.stop wolves from killing elkD.collect information about wolves

【2】Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?

A.The wolves were always howling at night.

B.The elk in the park were in danger of dying out.

C.The wolves had done great harm to the environment.

D.The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.

【3】Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the _______ that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.

A.risksB.troublesC.changesD.competitions

【4】What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A.Wolves are important to Yellowstone.B.Yellowstone has been home to wolves.

C.The wolf and the elk live in peace now.D.The number of wolves is growing fast.

【題目】 Once there was an old woman, Molly, who lived with her only son. They lived in a village near the forest. Molly’s son was a hunter（獵人）, doing the same job of his father.

One day, Molly’s son went out to hunt and was killed by a tiger. Molly was very sad. Her husband had been dead for many years. Her son was her only source（來(lái)源）of support. The villagers felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. They usually gave her some food and clothes. Then the hunters in the village killed the tiger that had eaten Molly’s son. They gave Molly the tiger’s baby. They told Molly to feed the tiger for a couple of months. Then she should kill it and sell its skin and meat for money.

As days went by, the baby tiger grew up a little. Molly named it Snowball. Snowball enjoyed playing with Molly like a pet cat. They were getting closer and closer.

A few months later, the villagers asked Molly why she had not killed the tiger. Molly said she had lost both her husband and her son. This tiger was the only companion（伙伴）she had left. She wanted to raise the tiger as her son.

One year later, Snowball had grown very big. Molly’s house was too small for such a big tiger. So Molly told Snowball to go back to the forest. However, Snowball often came back to visit Molly and brought her different dead animals. The villagers said they were gifts from her tiger son.
