Scanning(扫读) 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. 　　对大多数人而言，珠穆朗玛峰是世间最伟大的奇迹之一。站在地球最高处，你会感觉仿佛触手可及苍穹。然而唯有最顶尖的攀登者才能登顶——前提是他们能先在那极端恶劣的环境中存活下来。山间气温可降至零下30度，攀登者还需应对稀薄的空气、陡峭的崖壁和变幻莫测的天气。 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. 　　1960年之前，从未有人能从北坡成功登顶珠峰。登山者甚至将这条路线称为“死亡之路”，但一支中国登山队决心完成这次攀登。 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. 1960年5月24日，刘连满、王富洲、屈银华和贡布四名登山队员抵达海拔8600米的“第二台阶”。人们曾传说此处“飞鸟难越”。刘连满以肩为梯支撑队友，登山者们一寸寸向上攀援，最终突破了这道天险。5月25日凌晨4时20分，五星红旗首次在世界之巅飘扬。 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. 1975年，又一支中国登山队为科研任务再登珠峰。这次他们为“第二台阶”带去了金属梯架。直到2007年，几乎所有北坡登山者都借助这座“中国梯”更高效地完成冲顶。2020年，第三支中国测量队重返珠峰，精确测得其身高为8848.86米 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” ! 攀登珠峰危机四伏。有人成功登顶，更多人折戟沉沙。为何世人仍愿以生命为赌注挑战世界最高峰？只因人类的好奇心与探索永无止境。正如英国探险家乔治·马洛里所言：“因为山就在那里！” 1b Scan the article and find the information below. 阅读技巧：scan(扫读)，快速阅读以寻找特定信息（数字、名称、地点等）。 1.__________: what climbers called the way up the northern side of the mountain 2.__________: the distance between the Second Step and sea level 3.__________: the year the first Chinese team reached the top of Qomolangma 4.__________: the height of Qomolangma in 2020 Death Road 8,600 metres 1960 8,848.86 metres 1c Read the article again.
