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 other 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 future 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 determined 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. OnMondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he would ride a bike to Fragrant Hills, 30kilometers 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.” 26. Which is the correct order according to the passage? a. Xia had to be amputated at the knee 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 27. What do we know from the passage? A. Xia reached the top of the world in 2018. 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 was 29 when he first climbed Qomolangma. 28. 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 29. What can replace the underlined word “targets” in the last paragraph? A. plans B. will C. aims D. hopes 30. What is the passage most probably taken from? A. TV interview B. A magazine C. Advertisement D. Short story (B) Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes. As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor (祖先) . Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They’re also curious about how humans understand’ other animals, like dogs. 31. How does the writer develop Paragraph3? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By giving a suggestion. D. By expressing an opinion. 32. Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter decide to test their idea? A. They were required to find out the truth. B. They wanted to prove that chimpanzees are human ancestors. C. They wondered if humans had the natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. D. They wanted to create an interesting game about chimpanzees for people to play online. 33. Which of the following sentences uses the phrase “pass down” with the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage? A. The tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years. B. Pass down the bus and make room for more passengers. C. Why did he keep passing down the ball back to the goal keeper? D. His orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers 34. According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next? A. Begin to study dogs. B. Encourage people to do research on apes. C. Create more games for people to play online. D. Study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Apes only use gestures to show what they mean. B. Scientists don’t know why humans can understand the gestures of apes. C. People can choose the correct meaning of 50%-80% of the gestures in the game. D. The writer writes the passage to tell us how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 四、阅读填空 (共5空；每空1分，共5分) 以下短文有5处空缺，请从所给五个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 “The only constant (不变) in life is change,” Heraclitus said in about 500 B. C. That could be truer today. ____36____ Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life. Why are we afraid of change? ____37____ After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. ____38____ To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with. ____39____ For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn’t attend. Small change can help you gradually get used to uncertainty. So when bigger things happen, you’ll be more fully prepared for them. People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. ____40____ If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful. A. That’s because our brains want to protect us. B. But change comes whether you ask for it or not. C. We live in a world that is changing every minute. D. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life. E. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity. 五、语篇填词 (共5空；每空1分，共5分) Paula is a polite girl, but she is very fat.
