学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 7 What's the highest mountain in the world 【A卷·提升卷】 一、阅读理解 People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine. The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place. People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 1．According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago? A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F. C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse. D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. 2．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese? A．气候恶劣的 B．充满危险的 C．困难重重的 D．无人居住的 3．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is __________. A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozen C．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文主要给我们介绍了北极的相关知识。北极和南极都是非常寒冷的地方，但北极和南极是很不一样的。 1．细节理解题。根据“About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909.”可知，100年前，这两个人成功地到达了北极。故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Few people can live in such a difficult place.”可知，很少有人能住在这么困难的地方。可知，uninhabited意为“无人居住的”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water called ‘leads’.”可知，海水在冰下的运动通常会导致地表发生许多不同的变化。有时冰会分成两条开放的水道称为“冰间水道”。故选C。 China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on Earth! And China is the third or fourth largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles. This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the sixth lowest point on Earth is in China. It is Aydingkol Lake (艾丁湖) in the Turpan Depression (吐鲁番盆地). Other parts of China have mountains. For example, part of the Himalayan mountain is in the west part of the country. This area has some of the highest mountains in the world. The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world! There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rain forests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy diverse landscapes (景色) in this country! 4．The third paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to stop people polluting the rivers B．something about China’s most important rivers C．something about the rivers in the mountains D．why the two rivers are important to Chinese people 5．The underlined word “diverse” means “_______” in Chinese. A．单一的 B．平坦的 C．多样的 D．崎岖的 6．Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage? A．Aydingkol Lake is the sixth lowest point on Earth. B．About one fifth of the people in the world live in China. C．A source of many rivers is the snow in the mountains. D．The Yellow River is special to the Chinese because it is the second longest river in China. 7．Where might the passage come from? A．A geography magazine. B．A diary. C．A storybook. D．A notice. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．D 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的地理特征，包括人口、面积、地形、河流和多样的景观。 4．主旨大意题。根据“The snow in the mountains is a source of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.”并结合本段内容可知，本文介绍了中国山脉积雪是许多河流的源头，并重点介绍了黄河和长江的特点，即：关于中国最重要的几条河流的一些情况。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据“There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rain forests are also in some areas of the country.”可知，中国有河流沙漠和热带雨林，所以游客能欣赏到各种各样的风景，划线部分单词意为“多样的”。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据“The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization.”可知，黄河是中华文明的发源地，所以它对中国人很重要，而并非因为它是中国第二长的河流。故选D。 7．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国的地理特征，包括人口、面积、地形、河流等内容，属于“地理知识”的范畴。因此，这篇文章最有可能来自一本地理杂志。故选A。 Nepal (尼泊尔) is said to be “the kingdom of snow mountains”. It’s a great country for hiking. What’s more, its historical and cultural sites are well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal? Nepal has unusual geography! Mt. Qomolangma, the highest point on Earth, is partly in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain is the lowest point at 70 meters above sea level. For such a huge altitude drop, nowhere else on earth could you find it. Because of its unique topography (地形), you will find in Nepal five climate zones. There are also five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季). The autumn months of October and November are the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you’ll see bluer and clearer skies. This period is the best time for adventure tours. The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest. During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure (探险) tours. May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season. 8．What is special in Nepal? A．Geography. B．Clothes. C．Plants. D．Festivals. 9．Which months are the best time to enjoy bluer and clearer skies in Nepal? A．In December and January. B．From February to April. C．In October and November. D．From mid-June until September. 10．When is perfect to visit the Chitwan National Park? A．In spring. B．In summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter. 11．Why does it rain around 3 to 4 hours a day in the monsoon season? A．Because there are lots of lakes in Nepal. B．Because of the monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean. C．Because the temperature is hot all year round in Nepal. D．Because the location of Nepal is so close to the equator. 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．D 11．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了参观尼泊尔的最佳时间。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Nepal has unusual geography!”可知，尼泊尔的地理位置很特别。故选A。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“The autumn months of October and November are the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you’ll see bluer and clearer skies.”可知，在尼泊尔，10月和11月是欣赏更蓝更清澈的天空的最佳时间。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal.”可知，冬天非常适合参观奇特旺国家公园。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season.”可知，由于来自印度洋的季风，季风季节一天大约会下3到4个小时的雨。故选B。 China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world’s highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8,000 metres up the mountain. The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring. Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60,000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks. On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp. Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side. Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago. 12．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Some climbers died during mountain climbing. B．No climbers will climb Mount Qomolangma. C．About 8,000 people died of climbing the mountain. D．Mount Qomolangma is cleaned up every year. 13．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Each year, around 60,000 climbers climb the mountain from the north side. B．On the Nepalese side, climbers should take rubbish back to the base camp. C．China has set up stations to deal with rubbish which is left on the mountain. D．In China, people use helicopters to take the rubbish back to the base camp. 14．The underlined word “victims” in Para 5 means ________. A．persons who enjoy climbing B．persons who have experienced death C．persons who work hard D．persons who help climbers 15．We can mainly learn from the last paragraph that ________. A．the weather in the world is getting warmer B．Edmund and Tenzing were famous climbers C．Qomolangma is now getting much cleaner D．Qomolangma faces serious rubbish problems 【答案】12．A 13．C 14．B 15．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国将会进行清理世界最高峰的计划，控制攀登人数，控制攀登的季节，来减少珠峰上的死亡人数以及垃圾数量。 12．推理判断题。根据“The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8,000 metres up the mountain.”可知，清理计划将会移走死于海拔8000多米的登山者的尸体。由此可推知，一些人在登山途中遇难。故选A。 13．细节理解题。根据“China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks.”可知，中国已经建立了垃圾站，对山上的垃圾进行分类、回收和分解。故选C。 14．词句猜测题。根据“Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side.”可知，2017年，648人登上了珠穆朗玛峰，那年有六个人死在山上。由此可知划线词意为“遇难者”。故选B。 15．推理判断题。根据“Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago.”可知，珠穆朗玛峰已经成为世界上最高的垃圾场。与此同时，全球变暖导致的冰川融化正在暴露自66年前埃德蒙•希拉里和丹增•诺盖首次成功攀登以来留在山上的垃圾，因此珠峰正面临严峻的垃圾问题。故选D。 二、任务型阅读 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A~E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入1~4题，并回答第5题。 Wild birds need our help.

The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the 52 (high) and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very 53 (hard). Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard 54 (take) in air as you get near the top. The 55 (one) people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first 56 (China) team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. Why do so many climbers risk their 57 (life)?

They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine. The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place. People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes. 1．According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago? A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F. C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse. D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. 2．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese? A．气候恶劣的 B．充满危险的 C．困难重重的 D．无人居住的 3．The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is __________. A．that the temperature suddenly drops B．that the water under the ice is frozen C．that the ocean water under the ice moves D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on Earth! And China is the third or fourth largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles. This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the sixth lowest point on Earth is in China. It is Aydingkol Lake (艾丁湖) in the Turpan Depression (吐鲁番盆地). Other parts of China have mountains. For example, part of the Himalayan mountain is in the west part of the country. This area has some of the highest mountains in the world. The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world! There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rain forests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy diverse landscapes (景色) in this country! 4．The third paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．how to stop people polluting the rivers B．something about China’s most important rivers C．something about the rivers in the mountains D．why the two rivers are important to Chinese people 5．The underlined word “diverse” means “_______” in Chinese. A．单一的 B．平坦的 C．多样的 D．崎岖的 6．Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage? A．Aydingkol Lake is the sixth lowest point on Earth. B．About one fifth of the people in the world live in China. C．A source of many rivers is the snow in the mountains. D．The Yellow River is special to the Chinese because it is the second longest river in China. 7．Where might the passage come from? A．A geography magazine. B．A diary. C．A storybook. D．A notice. Nepal (尼泊尔) is said to be “the kingdom of snow mountains”. It’s a great country for hiking. What’s more, its historical and cultural sites are well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal? Nepal has unusual geography! Mt. Qomolangma, the highest point on Earth, is partly in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain is the lowest point at 70 meters above sea level. For such a huge altitude drop, nowhere else on earth could you find it. Because of its unique topography (地形), you will find in Nepal five climate zones. There are also five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季). The autumn months of October and November are the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you’ll see bluer and clearer skies. This period is the best time for adventure tours. The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. You will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal’s forest. During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure (探险) tours. May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4 hours of rain every day during this season. 8．What is special in Nepal? A．Geography. B．Clothes. C．Plants. D．Festivals. 9．Which months are the best time to enjoy bluer and clearer skies in Nepal? A．In December and January. B．From February to April. C．In October and November. D．From mid-June until September. 10．When is perfect to visit the Chitwan National Park? A．In spring. B．In summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter. 11．Why does it rain around 3 to 4 hours a day in the monsoon season? A．Because there are lots of lakes in Nepal. B．Because of the monsoon wind from the Indian Ocean. C．Because the temperature is hot all year round in Nepal. D．Because the location of Nepal is so close to the equator. China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world’s highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8,000 metres up the mountain. The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring. Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60,000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks. On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp. Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side. Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago. 12．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Some climbers died during mountain climbing. B．No climbers will climb Mount Qomolangma. C．About 8,000 people died of climbing the mountain. D．Mount Qomolangma is cleaned up every year. 13．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Each year, around 60,000 climbers climb the mountain from the north side. B．On the Nepalese side, climbers should take rubbish back to the base camp. C．China has set up stations to deal with rubbish which is left on the mountain. D．In China, people use helicopters to take the rubbish back to the base camp. 14．The underlined word “victims” in Para 5 means ________. A．persons who enjoy climbing B．persons who have experienced death C．persons who work hard D．persons who help climbers 15．We can mainly learn from the last paragraph that ________. A．the weather in the world is getting warmer B．Edmund and Tenzing were famous climbers C．Qomolangma is now getting much cleaner D．Qomolangma faces serious rubbish problems 二、任务型阅读 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A~E五个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入1~4题，并回答第5题。 Wild birds need our help.

The Grand Canal starts in the 37 of Hangzhou in the south of China. It is about 1700 kilometers long and finally ends in Beijing in the north of China. It also has a 38 history. Some parts of it are 39 than 2,000 years old. In fact, it still plays an important part today. Thousands of boats or 40 use it every day to carry many different kind of things now. It is really amazing. 五、短文填空 Hurricanes（飓风）are large storms that develop in the seas of the world. They usually get bigger and 41 （强壮的）over warm water, but they become weaker once they get over land. Hurricanes are storms that are given names, and a new list of names is made each year. The first hurricane name starts with the letter A, 42 （像、如同）Ashley, and the names move through the alphabet from A to Z as more hurricanes form. Hurricane 43 （云）move in a circle around a point called the eye, which is the center of the storm. To be called a hurricane, a storm must have wind speeds of at least seventy-four 44 （英里）per hour. When a hurricane comes, there are heavy rains and large waves. They 45 （引起）great trouble to people. Also, flooding can happen when large waves 46 （碰撞）the beaches. The large waves are the main reason why people have to leave beach towns when a hurricane 47 （到达）. Hurricanes move very slowly though, so people have a 48 （机会）to get out of the way. The hurricane season usually lasts from 49 （六月）1 to November 30. These large storms sometimes land on coastal areas of the United States. The scientists are studying the weather, and watching these storms very 50 （仔细地）to give a warning to people. And there's still a long way to go. One of the 51 (world) most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the 52 (high) and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very 53 (hard). Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard 54 (take) in air as you get near the top. The 55 (one) people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first 56 (China) team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975. Why do so many climbers risk their 57 (life)? One of the main reasons 58 (be) that people want to challenge 59 (they) in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we 60 (should) give up trying to achieve our dreams, it also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature. 六、书面表达 61．请根据提示写一篇关于你最熟悉或印象最深刻的地方的报道，不少于60词。 要点提示： 1. 此地所处的位置、面积； 2. 此地的气候状况； 3. 此地的自然景观； 4. 此地的饮食等风土人情。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第8页，共9页 试卷第9页，共9页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
