In 1953, two men reached the highest point on earth for the first time. One was Edmund Hillary, a tall bee-keeper from New Zealand. 1________

The other was Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa from Nepal who had already climbed the mountain seven times without reaching the top. 2________ Without him, the expedition would never have found a safe route through the ice.

For thirty years, the world asked the same question: which of the two men had actually stepped onto the summit first? 3________ Neither man would say. They had made a promise before the climb to describe it as a joint success.

The question was finally answered years later. 4________ But by then, most people had lost interest in the answer. What mattered was that two men, from very different countries and backgrounds, had stood on the top together.

Tenzing died in 1986. 5________ It was a simple statement, and it said more about the climb than any long book: 'We climbed it together, and we came down together.'

A. The other was a Sherpa named Tenzing Norgay.

F. Hillary climbed alone and refused any help.

G. The two men never spoke to each other again.

五、阅读理解

（一）

When people hear the word 'explorer', they usually imagine the nineteenth century: men in heavy coats, maps, ships and long voyages into unknown lands. Few of them imagine a woman in her fifties, sitting in a laboratory in a city, looking at a computer screen.

Yet that is exactly what Dr Pan does. She is an explorer, but the place she explores has never been seen by human eyes. She studies the deepest parts of the ocean, using small robots that can survive the enormous pressure four kilometres below the surface.

Her work is not glamorous. A single trip can take three years of preparation, and the robots are lost as often as they are recovered. In her first five years, she admits, she found nothing of importance at all. 'People think exploration is full of exciting moments,' she says. 'Mostly it is full of waiting, and checking, and failing, and checking again.'

What keeps her going is a simple fact. More than eighty per cent of the ocean has never been mapped, and scientists believe that millions of species are still unknown. 'There are creatures down there that no one has ever seen,' she says. 'The nineteenth-century explorers had maps with empty spaces. I have them too.'

D. It requires no preparation.

4.What fact keeps her working?

A. She is paid very well.

B. Most of the ocean has never been mapped.

C. She wants to become famous.

D. Robots are easy to build.

5.What does her last sentence mean?

A. Her unexplored ocean is like the empty spaces on old maps.

B. She prefers old maps to modern ones.

C. The nineteenth century was a better time for science.
