On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma(Mount Everest) seven days after leaving Base Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain. Success didn’t come easy. He had failed to reach the 8,844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world. The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960. Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974. In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite(冻伤) in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees. “It’s beyond imagination how difficult it was to accept the fact that I would suddenly become a disabled person.” Xia recalls. “I could not imagine a fixture of sitting in a wheelchair, perhaps forever?” When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs(义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he made up his mind to climb Qomolangma again. To prepare for his fifth attempt(尝试) on Qomolangma, every day he got up at five in the morning and completed 90 minutes of strength training at home. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30 kilometers from his home, walk to the top and then ride back home. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he completed 10 km of speed walking. “Without targets, people lose direction,” Xia says. “So I will keep climbing and contributing in more ways to society.” 16．Which is the correct order according to the passage? a. Xia had to be amputated at the knees immediately after the climb. b. Xia joined the Chinese Mountaineering team. c. Xia made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma. d. Xia tried four times but failed, so he prepared for the fifth. e. Chinese team set for the first climb to the top of Qomolangma. A．e-b-d-c-a B．b-a-e-c-d C．b-e-a-d-c D．e-b-a-d-c 17．What do we know from the passage? A．Xia was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma. B．Xia was 72 when he made his dream come true. C．The Base Camp lay on the Chinese side of the mountain. D．Xia reached the top of the world in 2018. 18．We can learn all the following EXCEPT that ________. A．Xia felt it unimaginable to be sitting in a wheelchair all his life B．Xia lost hope after a doctor explained about his artificial limbs C．it took Xia a long time to make full preparations for his fifth attempt D．Xia had failed to reach the peak four times before his fifth attempt 19．What can replace the underlined word “targets” in the last paragraph? A．plans B．aims C．will D．hopes 20．What is the passage most probably taken from? A．TV interview B．Travel journal C．Advertisement D．Short story 【答案】 16．D 17．D 18．B 19．B 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了夏伯渝历尽千辛万苦登顶珠峰的励志故事。 16．排序题。根据文章第四段中的“The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960”可知，中国队首次攀登珠穆朗玛峰是在1960年，第四段中的“Xia, who was born in……to be amputated at the knees”可知，1974年夏伯渝加入中国爬山队，1975年在攀登失败后他必须截肢，第三段中的“He had failed to reach the 8,844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world”可知，在成为到达世界之巅的双腿截肢的其中一个，他失败了四次，推知截肢之后他尝试了四次，根据第二段“On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the s on the Nepal side of the mountain”可知，在2018年他实现了梦想，所以正确的顺序是e-b-a-d-c，故选D。 17．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is……Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain”可知，夏伯渝在2018年登上了珠穆朗玛峰，故选D。 18．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs(义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he made up his mind to climb Qomolangma again”可知，当医生解释了义肢的事情后他又增添了希望，所以B项“医生解释了他的假肢后，夏失去了希望”说法是错误的，故选B。 19．词句猜测题。根据下文people lose direction提示，此处指的是“没有了目标，人们就失去了方向”，故targets意为“目标”，与B选项aims“目标”意思相近，故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Xia Boyu, 70, is the first Chinese double amputee(被截肢者) to have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, Du Juan reports”可知，本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读，可推知这篇文章最有可能来自电视访问，故选A。 C Jerry was always in a good mood (心情) and had something positive (乐观的) to say If someone was having a bad day, Jerry would tell them how to look on the positive side of the situation.

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.” Several years later, I heard that Jerry was shot by three robbers (抢劫者). Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the local hospital. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared?” I asked. “Yes, I got really scared when I saw the expressions on the face of the doctors.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, when a nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything, I shouted, bullets! (子弹)” “Then they laughed, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me if 1am alive, not dead’” Thanks to the skill of his doctors, Jerry was saved, but also because of his amazing attitude(态度).

Attitude after all, is everything”作者觉得杰瑞的获救多亏了医生精湛的医术，还有杰瑞一向积极的人生态度让他临危不惧。可知，作者觉得杰瑞是勇敢的、很棒的。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。本文讲述杰瑞有积极的人生态度，凡事都能看到事情积极的一面。在遭到歹徒枪击后，积极鼓励自己，即使从医生的表情知道自己伤势严重，他也积极地面对，最终获救。可知，文章告诉我们态度决定一切，态度是很重要的。故选A。 第二节 阅读还原6选5(共5小题，每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思连贯、完整。 In 1970, the satellite“Dongfanghong I” was sent into space.

Sailing in unknown seas, Columbus made humans know about the knowledge of crossing the Atlantic and the Americas. Vasco da Gama (1469 — 1524)Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer who was the first European to reach India by sea. Da Gama made a direct voyage to India — travelling around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa — arriving in Calicut in 1498, which connected Europe and Asia for the first time by ocean route. Roald Amundsen (1872 — 1928)Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer and an important person during Antarctic exploration. His Antarctic expedition (探险队) of 1910 —1912 discovered the South Pole. In 1926, he led the first successful expedition to reach the North Pole. He also made the first voyage through the Northwest Passage. John Cabot (1450 — 1499)Cabot was an Italian voyager and explorer. In 1497, he discovered parts of North America (later named Newfoundland). This is widely considered to be the first European discovery of North America since the Viking journeys of the 11th century.

On May 14, 2018, Xia, who is the same age as the People’s Republic of China, made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma(Mount Everest) seven days after leaving Base Camp on the Nepal side of the mountain. Success didn’t come easy. He had failed to reach the 8,844-meter peak four times before becoming one of the few double amputees to reach the top of the world. The first climb by a Chinese team to the peak of Qomolangma was in 1960. Xia, who was born in Chongqing in 1949, was chosen by the Chinese mountaineering team in 1974. In 1975, the second mountaineering team set off. All the teammates finally reached the top, but Xia suffered bad frostbite(冻伤) in his legs, which had to be amputated at the knees. “It’s beyond imagination how difficult it was to accept the fact that I would suddenly become a disabled person.” Xia recalls. “I could not imagine a fixture of sitting in a wheelchair, perhaps forever?” When a doctor told him that with artificial limbs(义肢) he could live a normal life like anyone else, and he would even be able to do a lot of physical exercise, his hopes rose and he made up his mind to climb Qomolangma again. To prepare for his fifth attempt(尝试) on Qomolangma, every day he got up at five in the morning and completed 90 minutes of strength training at home. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30 kilometers from his home, walk to the top and then ride back home. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, he completed 10 km of speed walking. “Without targets, people lose direction,” Xia says. “So I will keep climbing and contributing in more ways to society.” 16．Which is the correct order according to the passage? a. Xia had to be amputated at the knees immediately after the climb. b. Xia joined the Chinese Mountaineering team. c. Xia made his dream come true by reaching the top of Qomolangma. d. Xia tried four times but failed, so he prepared for the fifth. e. Chinese team set for the first climb to the top of Qomolangma. A．e-b-d-c-a B．b-a-e-c-d C．b-e-a-d-c D．e-b-a-d-c 17．What do we know from the passage? A．Xia was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma. B．Xia was 72 when he made his dream come true.

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.” Several years later, I heard that Jerry was shot by three robbers (抢劫者). Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the local hospital. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared?” I asked. “Yes, I got really scared when I saw the expressions on the face of the doctors.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, when a nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything, I shouted, bullets! (子弹)” “Then they laughed, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live.
