二、阅读单选

Have you ever wanted to achieve something really amazing in life? Well， Greg Mortenson wanted to climb a mountain，but he ended up helping thousands of people to have a better life．

Greg’s story began with failure． In 1993， he set out to climb K2， the world’s second highest mountain． But Greg never made it to the top． After five days， he sturnbled(踉跄) into the village of Korphe in northern Pakistan， injured and hungry． The kind villagers there looked after him for several days．

Greg saw that the villagers were very poor and hungry， and some of them were ill． Also， the village school didn’t have a roof(屋顶) and the children wrote on the ground with sticks， Greg knew he wanted to do something to help． “I’ll build you a school，” he told the villagers． “I promise．”

Greg went back home to the USA to raise money for the school． He even lived in the car to save money! Finally he went back to Korphe and built the school． But this was just the beginning of something bigger! Since then， Greg’s organization has built around 80 schools and runs many others in Pakistan and other countries， too．

Greg hasn’t finished yet． He does many other things to help people in poor countries． He has got many prizes， but it’s the smiles of the children he has helped that makes him happy!

Greg has just written a best-selling book about his story called Three Cups of Tea． It’s an interesting and exciting book which tells us what ordinary people can do with courage and determination(决心)．

11．What was wrong with Greg when he got to the village for the first time?

A．He fell ill．

B．He was badly hurt and hungry．

C．He lost his way．

D．He failed in his business．

12．How did Greg keep his promise to build a school?

B．He did business to make money．

C．He wrote a book to sell for money．

D．He borrowed money from his friends．

13．What does the underlined word “this” refer to?

A．Saving money． B．Living in the car．

C．Raising money． D．Building the school．

14．What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．Building schools can help people to have a better life．

B．We have to do something in return to those who help us．

C．Ordinary people can make a difference to people’s lives．

D．Climbing mountains is a good start to help poor people．

Qomolangma is the world's highest mountain． You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844．43 meters． But not all sides are in agreement on this． Different researchers have given different results． In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time．

That's why a Chinese survey team with over 30 members set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to re­measure its height on May 6, 2020． They were equipped (配备) with the latest technology．

It is not an easy task． The average air temperature on the mountain is ­-29℃, and powerful winds blow all the time． In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain． That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get exact results．

But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?

In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number． Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (欧亚板块) meets the Indian plate． It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other． Changes in the peak's height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other． This can help us understand the movement of the earth's crust (地壳)．

The survey team will also get first­hand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain． This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Qinghai­Tibet Plateau (高原)．

15．What do we know from the first paragraph?

A．Researchers measure the height of Qomolangma every year． B．There is no agreed-upon height of Qomolangma at present．

C．It's not easy to measure the height of Qomolangma． D．The height of Qomolangma increases every year．

16．How many members were there in the Chinese survey team in 2020?

A．Over sixty． B．Over eighty． C．Over forty． D．Over thirty．

17．Which of the following words could replace the underlined word "peak" in Paragraph 2?

A．Point． B．Top． C．Base． D．Edge．

18．What challenge did the Chinese survey team face?

A．A lack of water． B．Dangerous animals．

C．Bad weather conditions． D．The movement of the earth's crust．

19．What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A．Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important． B．What changes in the height of Qomolangma's peak can tell us．

C．How Qomolangma became the highest mountain． D．How plate movements affected the height of Qomolangma．

Some popular places to visit are built by people． Other famous places are created by nature． For example, in the northeast of the United States, there was a famous rock on a high mountain that looked just like an old man． He had lots of hair, a big nose and a beard．People called him“The Old Man of the Mountain” and every year more than a million people came to look at him． “The Old Man of the Mountain”, also known as the Great Stone Face or the Profile, was 1,200 feet (370 meters) above Profile Lake, and measured 40 feet (12 meters) tall and 25 feet (7．6 meters) wide． The site is located in the town of Franconia, New Hampshire, USA．Scientists think that the stone face had been there for about 17,000 years．

In May 2003, there was very bad weather near the Old Man of the Mountain．There were very high winds and the temperature was very cold． The sky was so cloudy that people couldn’t see the stone face for many days． As soon as the storm was over, people looked for the Old Man and they couldn’t see him． They discovered that he had fallen apart． The stones that made his face sank down the mountain． A number of scientists climbed up to see if they could repair the stone face, but they had to give up． They figured out（断定）that the damage from the weather was just too bad．

20．Where’s “The Old Man of the Mountain”?

A．In the northeast of the US．

B．In the northwest of the US．

C．In the southeast ofthe US．

D．In the southwest of the US．

21．What’s “The Old Man of the Mountain” also known as?

A．The Great Stone． B．The Profile．

C．The Stone Face． D．The Rock．

22．How long had the stone face been there?

A．About 12,000 years． B．About 370 years．

C．About 17,000 years． D．About 25 years．

23．What’s the reason for the loss of the stone face?
