【题目】 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 (配备) with the latest technology, including a global navigation satellite system receiver and a radar (雷达).
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 (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 (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 (板块) 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.
【1】把文中(A)处划线句子翻译成汉语。
【2】把文中(C)处划线句子翻译成汉语。
【3】写出(B)处划线单词指代的内容。
【4】写出文中提到的两个板块。
【5】简要概况本文大意。
【答案】
【1】你可能从课本上学到它的高度是8844米。
【2】它是由于三千八百万年前,这两个板块相撞而形成的。
【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】
本文讲述了人类测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度并对其进行研究。
【1】
本句中含有一个以that引导的定语从句。may意为“可能”;learn from意为“从……中学到”;textbooks意为“课本”;height意为“高度”。故答案为:你可能从课本上学到它的高度是8844米。
【2】
本句是以as引导的原因状语从句。formed意为“形成”;38 million years ago意为“三千八百万年前”;the two plates意为“这两个板块”;hit each other意为“相互碰撞”。故答案为:它是由于三千八百万年前,这两个板块相撞而形成的。
【3】
根据第二段“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. 这就是为什么一个由30人组成的中国勘测队将于5月6日到达珠穆朗玛峰,重新测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度。”,可知后一句的they指代的是“由30人组成的中国勘测队”,故答案为:30 members/30 members in the Chinese survey team。
【4】
根据倒数第二段“Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (板块) meets the Indian plate.”,可知珠穆朗玛峰位于欧亚板块与印度板块交汇处,故答案为:the Eurasian plate, the Indian plate。
【5】
本文主要讲述了人类测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度并对其进行研究,“测量高度”为measure the height,故答案为:It is about measuring the height of Qomolangma.

【题目】 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.

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.
