She became the youngest Chinese to climb the world’s highest mountain, and also the youngest in the world to climb from the south side of it. Li’s love for climbing came from her father. When Li was young, her father told her about his own successful climb of Mount Qomolangma. His story filled Li with wonder and a wish to follow his example. From 2019, the eight-year-old girl began training every weekend. She went hiking with heavy bags in the mountains near Shenzhen. The hard work made her body and mind strong. Even on rainy or very hot days, she never missed her training. Before climbing Qomolangma, Li had climbed several high mountains. In 2024, she reached the top of 5,895-meter-high Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. In 2025, she climbed 7,546-meter-high Mount Muztagh Ata in Xinjiang. Each climb gave her more experience and confidence. Later, Li chose to climb Qomolangma from its southern side in Nepal. In April 2026, she left Shenzhen for Nepal. After arriving, she started training to get used to the thin air high up. She also trained hard to deal with the difficult environment of the mountain. The final climb was especially hard. She walked on ice and snow and had trouble breathing. She faced many dangers, such as deep ice cracks (裂缝) and sudden storms. But she never gave up. On May 20, 2026, she successfully stood on the top of Mount Qomolangma. Looking around, she said, “This is the most beautiful view I have ever seen!” Li Binglan hopes her experience will encourage more young people to follow their own big dreams. 21.

A Teenager’s Journey to the Top of the World D. Training for climbing Mount Qomolangma C ① When you talk about the World Cup, what comes to your mind? You may first think of famous football players, exciting goals (进球) and loud cheering. But the 2026 FIFA World Cup is also a lesson in geography, cooperation (合作) and planning. ② Geographical factors (地理因素) play a big role this year. For the first time, the World Cup is held by three countries: the United States, Canada and Mexico. Matches are played in different cities across North America. The event includes 48 teams and 104 matches. So teams, fans and reporters travel a long way during the event. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is larger than any previous World Cup. ③ Cooperation brings more chances. A larger World Cup means that some countries once far from the event now have a great hope of taking part. The three host countries work together on sports fields, safety and so on. As a result, this World Cup is not only for some traditional powerful countries, but also for more other countries. ④ Planning is the key. A bigger World Cup brings more difficulties. More teams and more matches bring longer travel, busier plans and more tasks to host cities. The World Cup becomes a huge moving map. A team may stay in one city for a match and fly to another city for the next one. So fans need to make a plan for tickets, hotels and travel carefully. The host cities have spent years getting ready for the crowds and the games. Organizers must think about safety and communication. That is why good planning matters so much. ⑤ In short, the World Cup teaches us that this great event is not just about football players, but also about geography, cooperation and careful planning. Behind every goal, there is a whole world working together. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question. 27. Where is the 2026 FIFA World Cup held? A. In two countries in North America. B. In three countries in North America. C. In three countries in South America. D. In four countries in South America. 28. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “previous” means ________. A. modern B. earlier C. famous D. wonderful 29. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Fans care more about hotels than travel. B. Teams have to stay in one city during the event. C. Host cities have prepared for the World Cup for a long time. D. The 2026 FIFA World Cup matches are the most exciting in history. 30. What’s the structure of the passage? A. ① / ②③④ / ⑤ B. ①② / ③ / ④⑤ C. ① / ②③ / ④ / ⑤ D. ①②③ / ④ / ⑤ 三、信息还原 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Taking good notes is a skill that helps you do well in all your schoolwork.
