Reaching New Heights
To most people, Mount Qomolangma is one of the greatest wonders of the world.
On the highest place on earth, you will feel like you are able to touch the sky. But only the best climbers reach the top, and that is only if they survive the terrible conditions first. On the mountain, temperatures can fall to –30 degrees. Climbers must also deal with thin air, high cliffs, and changeable weather.
Before 1960, no one was able to reach the top of Qomolangma from the northern side. Mountain climbers even called that way the “Death Road”, but a Chinese climbing team was determined to make the climb.
On 24 May 1960, climbers Liu Lianman, Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, and Gongbu arrived at the Second Step. It was 8,600 metres above sea level. People said it was so high that even birds could not reach it. Liu allowed his teammates to step on his shoulders. Bit by bit, the climbers pulled themselves up, and they made it past the Second Step. At 4:20 a.m. on 25 May, the Chinese national flag flew above the world’s highest mountain for the first time.
In 1975, another Chinese team climbed to the top of Qomolangma to do research. This time, they brought a ladder to the Second Step. Until 2007, almost all climbers from the northern side used this“Chinese Ladder”to reach the top much faster. In 2020, a Chinese research team went to Qomolangma to measure its height—8,848.86 metres.
Climbing Qomolangma is dangerous. Some climbers reach the top successfully, but many fail. Why do people still risk their lives to climb the highest mountain in the world? It is because human curiosity and ambition cannot be stopped. Or, as the English explorer George Mallory put it, it is simply “because it’s there”!

参考答案:
一、词语运用
1.wonders
解析: one of the greatest + 复数名词 是固定结构,表示“最……之一”。 wonder 在此作名词,意为“奇迹”,珠峰是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一,因此变为复数 wonders 。
2.survive
解析:条件状语从句中,主语为 they ,谓语用动词原形。 survive the terrible conditions 意为“在恶劣条件下存活下来”,符合登山语境。
3.changeable
解析:此处需要形容词修饰名词 weather 。 changeable weather 意为“多变的天气”,是珠峰登山中典型的挑战,符合语境。
4.determined
解析:固定搭配 be determined to do sth. 表示“下定决心做某事”,此处指中国登山队下定决心攀登珠峰,故用 determined 。
5.above
解析: above the mountain 意为“在山的上方”,指国旗在世界最高峰的上空飘扬,符合语境。
6.faster
解析: much 后常接形容词/副词的比较级。有了“中国梯”之后,登山者可以更快地登顶,因此 fast 变为比较级 faster 。
7.to measure
解析:此处用不定式 to measure 表示目的,即“中国科考队前往珠峰是为了测量它的高度”。
8.successfully
解析:此处需要副词修饰动词 reach 。 successfully 意为“成功地”,与后文的 many fail 形成对比。
9.highest
解析:前面有定冠词 the ,结合语境“世界上最高的山峰”,用 high 的最高级 highest 。
10.curiosity
解析:此处与 ambition (志向)并列,需要名词。 curious 是形容词,对应的名词形式 curiosity 意为“好奇心”, human curiosity 即“人类的好奇心”,符合语境。
二、盲填
1.highest
2. only
解析:登顶的前提是要先克服恶劣条件,用 only if 表示“只有……才……”,逻辑通顺。
3.but 4.above
5.that
解析: so...that... 是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,句中表示“如此高,以至于连鸟都飞不到”。
6.above
7.for
解析: for the first time 是固定搭配,意为“第一次”。
8.easier/faster
解析:much用来修饰比较级
9.height
10. lives
解析: risk one's lives 是固定搭配,意为“冒着生命危险”,主语是 people ,所以用复数 lives 。
三、完形填空
1.B. greatest
固定结构:one of the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数
句意:珠穆朗玛峰是世界最伟大的奇观之一。A 最容易的;C 最便宜的;D 最奇特的,语义都不符。
2.A. survive
3.B. changeable
4.B. called
5.A. arrived
固定搭配:arrive at + 小地点 到达某地。
reach 后面直接加地点,不能接 at,所以D语法错误;return 返回;point 指向,语义不通。
6.A. passing
succeed in doing sth. 成功做某事 句意:他们成功通过了险要地段。
7.C. proudly
8.A. used
9.B. height
10.C. risk
固定短语 risk one’s life 冒着生命危险。
句意:为什么人们仍愿冒着生命危险去攀登?
