Budha Magar,a double abovetheknee amputee(被截肢者),is working with an allNepali team to attempt to conquer the world's highest mountain in May.Though he will be kitted out(装备) with special climbing legs,he will essentially be crawling up Qomolangma using his hands.
He estimates it will take him three times longer than ablebodied climbers to reach the summit(顶峰),though he is confident he will be faster than average on the ladder sections because of his superior upper body strength.Two climbers with belowknee amputations have reached Qomolangma's summit before.But making the climb without knees is significantly harder.“In Nepali we say that being disabled is ‘like a burden of the earth’,” he explains.Magar hopes that he can raise awareness of just what is possible for a disabled person in the country of his birth,and hopefully inspire others further afield.
He was born in a village of Nepal,and he left there at the age of 19.In April 2021,he had an accident.Suddenly legless,he spent at least 18 months depressed before a charity offered him the chance to go skydiving.“That was a big turning point for me,especially for my confidence.And when we landed on the ground I realized that even without legs we are able to do lots of things,” he says.
He began doing sports—golf,rock climbing,table tennis—before setting his sights on mountaineering.Before long,a childhood dream to climb Qomolangma resurfaced,and he began training in earnest to make the climb in 2018.
Now living in Canterbury,Budha Magar has raised more than £200,000 towards his attempt.If he can find another £100,000 of sponsorship,he will travel to Nepal in spring with his expedition leader Krishna Thapa.Success on the world's highest mountain can never be guaranteed,but his expedition credo(信条) illustrates his mindset:no legs,no limits.
4.What may enable Magar to perform better than average on the ladder sections?
A.His optimism.
B.Unique equipment.
C.His stronger upper body.
D.Help from an allNepali team.
5.What can we learn about Magar from Paragraph 3?
A.He lived in his birth place all the time.
B.He recovered from the accident in 2021.
C.He was a member of a charity.
D.He gained confidence through skydiving.
6.What can we infer about Magar from the last paragraph?
A.He hasn't raised enough money for the summit attempt.
B.He needs a new expedition leader.
C.He can ensure the success of reaching the summit.
D.He will go to Canterbury in spring.
7.Which of the following best describes Magar?
A.Caring and courageous.
B.Determined and adventurous.
C.Hardworking and cooperative.
D.Enthusiastic and intelligent.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了双腿膝盖以下截肢的Budha Magar的故事。他意志坚定,充满冒险精神,正在筹集资金尝试在5月份征服世界最高峰。
4.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He estimates it will take him three times longer ...because of his superior upper body strength.”可知,Magar有力的上肢使他在梯段的表现比普通人要好。故选C。
5.D [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中Magar的话“That was a big turning point for me ...even without legs we are able to do lots of things”可知,通过跳伞Magar获得了自信。故选D。
6.A [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now living in Canterbury ...he will travel to Nepal in spring with his expedition leader Krishna Thapa.”可知,Magar已为登顶尝试筹集了二十多万英镑,还差10万英镑才能顺利启动该尝试。由此可知,他还没有为登顶筹集到足够的资金。故选A。
7.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Budha Magar,a double abovetheknee amputee,is working with an allNepali team to attempt to conquer the world's highest mountain in May.”可知,Magar身体残疾但是想要征服世界最高峰,可见他是富有冒险精神的。根据最后一段中的“Success on the world's highest mountain can never be guaranteed,but his expedition credo illustrates his mindset:no legs,no limits.”可知,面对巨大的未知,Magar有着坚定的信念。由此可知,Magar意志坚定且富有冒险精神。故选B。
