英文读与练20 登山历险记 136-year-old woman slipped and fell several hundred feet from Oregon's highest mountain right before the eyes of a group of volunteer rescue workers who rushed to her aid and helped save her life. 2The woman was coming down a popular path on Mt.Hood,about 70 miles east of Portland,on Saturday morning,according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.Mt.Hood is the highest peak in Oregon,standing at roughly 11,240 feet.“The climber slid and tumbled down the mountain for approximately 300-400 feet,” Brian McCall,a spokesperson with the sheriff's office said. 3“The fall was witnessed by members of Portland Mountain Rescue,a nonprofit volunteer organization focused on helping people in mountainous areas.The group called 911 and rushed to the woman,helping stabilize her and provide initial medical care,” the sheriff's office said.Additional groups of rescuers arrived and helped keep the woman warm for seven hours as officials worked to get her off the mountain safely,authorities said. 4The climber,Leah Brown,said she didn't know what caused her fall.“This is the part I don't remember,” Brown said.“I can only guess it was either an ice tool or a crampon（冰爪）that didn't land and stick like it should have and I became detached（分离的）from the mountain.” 5Portland Mountain Rescue wrote the woman's injuries prevented self-rescue,adding their members worked with the Crag Rats group,also an all-volunteer,nonprofit organization.Authorities created complex rope systems and transported the climber with a litter to evacuate victims in difficult situations.The woman was eventually evacuated to a parking lot at 9：30 pm and taken to a hospital,according to the sheriff's office,which also took part in the rescue. 6Brown said she was diagnosed with a concussion (脑震荡) and had multiple bruises on her arms and legs but said,“Otherwise,I'm okay.” Brown said she did not break any bones.“The thing I'd like to most stress is my appreciation for the folks from Portland Mountain Rescue and Hood River Crag Rats who evacuated me and took incredible care of me the whole time,” Brown said.

Reading Check 1.How many days were the workers trapped according to the text? A.12 days. B.17 days. C.41 days. D.60 days. 2.How did the rescuers drill the last few meters to reach the trapped workers? A.By using a large pipe. B.By drilling by hand. C.By using explosives. D.By using a new more powerful drill. 3.What was the main challenge faced by the rescue team about the heavy machinery? A.It broke down. B.It was too slow. C.It ran out fuel. D.It was hard to control. 4.What was the condition of the workers when they emerged from the collapsed tunnel? A.They were severely injured. B.They were weak and feverish.
