A
Having met only weeks before,climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay shook hands before hugging each other in a moment that would put their names in history books forever. They were on top of the world—literally. After five hours of continuous climbing,the two first climbed to the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest spot on Earth. As the ultimate climbing goal for them both and the dream of most climbers, they had just 15 minutes to absorb the experience of being at 8,848 metres above sea level. Any longer and they may not have made it back to camp to tell the tale.
With this in mind, the pair spent some of their precious minutes searching the area for signs of those who had been before them. The bodies of two previous Qomolangma hopefuls—Andrew Irvine and George Mallory of the 1924 attempt—were in the thoughts of Norgay and Hillary. However, they could find no sign of them having reached the top.
Qomolangma has been responsible for claiming over 300 lives and endangering many others, as it poses huge and unpredictable challenges, with high altitudes(海拔)putting immense tension on human biology and with its icy land making each step a risk. When the climbers made it back to camp and the news spread, global admiration and fame poured in.
Norgay and Hillary were determined to be the first to conquer the world’s highest mountain. They had done it. At the time they believed that the box had been ticked and no one else would put themselves through the danger to repeat their achievement. They couldn’t have been more wrong. Today hundreds of people choose to follow in their footsteps every year. In contrast to the total isolation(孤立) felt on the first successful journey, during times of ideal weather conditions, queues form up to the mountain’s summit. This creates dangerous standstills(停滞)in the mountain’s most deadly zones.
Whether you believe these adventurers to be brave, admirable or out of their minds, it is clear that Hillary and Norgay have provided knowledge and inspiration for many to find out how it feels to truly be on top of the world.

3. What does the underlined word “immense” in Paragraph 3 mean?

C.Minimum. D.Limited.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知,珠穆朗玛峰已经夺去了300多人的生命,并危及许多的生命,因为它带来了巨大而不可预测的挑战。由此可推知,极高的海拔(high altitudes)对人体的生理机制会造成巨大的压力,所以immense意为“巨大的”。故选A。
4. What will the present Qomolangma climbers be likely to face compared with Norgay and Hillary?
A.More terrible loneliness.
B.More ideal weather conditions.
C.More deadly zones.

B
The idea that we can have it all and do it all is not new.This myth has been spread for so long,and I believe virtually everyone alive today is infected with it.It is sold in advertising.It is included in university applications that require dozens of extracurricular activities.
What is new is how especially damaging this myth is today,in a time when choice and expectations have increased exponentially(以指数方式).It results in stressed people trying to stuff more activities into their already over-scheduled lives.
The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s.It was singular.It meant the very first or prior thing.It stayed singular for the next five hundred years.Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities.Illogically,we reasoned that by changing the word we could bend reality.Somehow we would now be able to have multiple “first” things.People routinely try to do just that.This gave the impression of many things being the priority but actually meant nothing was.
When we don’t purposefully and deliberately choose where to focus our energies and time,other people will choose for us,and before long we’ll have lost sight of everything that is meaningful and important.
Once an Australian nurse named Bronnie Ware,who cared for people in the last twelve weeks of their lives,recorded their most often discussed regrets.At the top of the list: “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself,not the life others expected of me.” Instead of reacting to the social pressures pulling you to go in a million directions,you will learn a way to focus on what is absolutely essential by getting rid of everything else completely.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们普遍受到“我能拥有一切并做到一切”的错误观念影响,导致过度忙碌和焦虑。

答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It results in stressed people trying to stuff more activities into their already over-scheduled lives.”可知,“你可以拥有一切的想法”尤其有害,因为它会导致因社会压力而引发的过度安排。故选C。

A.Make the best of their talents.
B.Listen to their inner voices.
C.Tell the truth instead of lies.
D.Extend helping hands to others.
