【题目】 Xia Boyu, a 70-year-old man, reached the top of Mount Everest in May last year. What makes his climb special is that Xia has no legs.

Xia first climbed Mount Everest with other climbers in 1975. However, they had to stop halfway because they met a snowstorm. The team had to stop because of the bad weather in the mountain for two days. After the climb, Xia lost his legs.

However, Xia refused to give up. He made three more climbs in 2014, 2015 and 2016 but he got back every time for different reasons. To prepare for his fifth climb, he got up at four every morning to do exercise for 90 minutes. Then he rode to a mountain 20 kilometers away from his home and climbed it. Finally, Xia reached the top of Mount Everest successfully in May, 2018, although he could only stand there for less than ten minutes because of a snowstorm.

Xia has become the first one to reach the top of Mount Everest without two legs. His story is sure to encourage more people to work hard for their dreams.

3In May, 2018.

4由于(持续)两天的恶劣天气(的原因),登山队不得不停了下来。

5答案不唯一(例:The first person to reach the top of Mount Everest without legs)。

【解析】

短文大意:本文是人物类阅读,讲述了因攀登珠峰而失去双腿的夏伯渝坚持梦想,终于在在2018年5月第五次登峰时成功站在了珠穆朗玛峰峰顶,成为没有双腿登顶珠峰的第一人。

1题意:为什么夏的攀登如此特别?考查细节理解。根据“What makes his climb special is that Xia has no legs使他的攀登与众不同的是,夏没有腿”,可知是因为他没有腿,故填Because he has no legs.

2题意:夏爬过几次珠穆朗玛峰?考查细节理解。根据“To prepare for his fifth climb, he got up at four every morning to do exercise for 90 minutes为了准备他的第五次攀登,他每天早上4点起床做90分钟的运动”,可知攀登了五次,故填Five times.

3题意:夏是什么时候成功登顶的?考查细节理解。根据“Finally, Xia reached the top of Mount Everest successfully in May, 2018最终,在2018年5月,夏成功登顶珠峰”,可知填In May, 2018.

4The team队伍;had to stop不得不停止;because of由于,表原因;the bad weather坏天气;in the mountain在大山里;for two days有两天。根据句意结构,可知填:由于(持续)两天的恶劣天气(的原因),登山队不得不停了下来。

5考查标题归纳。开放性题目,答案不统一。根据短文内容,结合最后“Xia has become the first one to reach the top of Mount Everest without two legs夏成为第一个没有双腿登顶珠峰的人”,可知“The first person to reach the top of Mount Everest without legs第一个没有双腿登顶珠峰的人”符合文意,故填The first person to reach the top of Mount Everest without legs。

【题目】 Here is a real-life story of The Tortoise and the Hare 《龟兔赛跑》 .

Every year in Australia, the strongest long-distance runners race more than 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne. The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world-class athletes-the kind who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks.

In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and work boots. His name was Cliff Young. The other runners mistook him for a spectator (观众) . He explained that on his family's sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. "Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days. I believe I can run this race." he said.

When the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of running after them,Cliff shuffled ( 拖着脚走) along in an unusual way. The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race. But something happened. When all the other runners took a break to sleep, Cliff kept running. The other runners caught up to him each morning, but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. On the fifth day, he left all of the young, world-class athletes behind. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.

Cliff received 10, 000 for winning the race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the funds to his fellow runners. Doing this made him a hero in Australia. Since then, many runners have used his shuffling stride. No one sleeps during the race anymore, either. The farmer changed long-distance racing and proved that age and style aren't everything.

1What helped Cliff Young win the race?

A.Staying awake for five days.B.Running faster than the others.

C.Studying new ways of running.D.Wearing unusual running clothes.

2Why did the other runners think that Young was a spectator?

A.They saw him on the sidelines.B.He was not a spokesperson for sneakers.

C.They knew he was a farmer.D.He was not dressed like a runner.

3According to the passage, what made Young a hero in Australia?

A.He managed to set a world record.B.He proved that dressing doesn't matter.

C.He gave his prize money to other runners.D.He received an award of 10,000.

4How did Young change long-distance running?

A.He raised the age limit for runners.B.He introduced a new way of running.

C.He raise the award for the race.D.He encouraged other farmers to enter.

【题目】 What is the worst disease in the world? Many people might say it is cancer. Cancer will kill about 9.6 million people in the world this year, according to World Health Organization. Scientists have been working to find ways to beat cancer. A lot of progress has been made in this field.

James P Allison from the US and Japanese researcher Tasuku Honjo discovered a new kind of cancer treatment that earned them the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in October. The new treatment can make our immune systems (免疫系统) strong enough to effectively fight cancer cells. It is hoped that this treatment can be used to treat more cancers in the future.

This is not the only recent improvement in cancer treatment. In November, the US Food and Drug Administration approved(批准)a new cancer drug called Vitrakvi. Instead of being effective only for treating specific types of cancer, this drug can be used to treat 17 different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer and breast cancer, USA Today reported.

Finding cancer as early as possible is the best way to beat it. To check people for cancer, doctors must collect tissue(组织)from a patient’s tumor(肿瘤 and test it. This process can take a long time. But in December, scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia developed a simple cancer test that can detect (检测) cancer in a patient’s blood. The test takes less than 10 minutes. The test is about 90 percent accurate (精确的), the Guardian reported.

With all of these treatments, cancer can be effectively controlled. Honjo believes most kinds of cancer will become treatable by 2050. “Even if we cannot completely eliminate(消除) the tumor, we can survive while still having part of a tumor,” Honjo said at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, in December.

1The first paragraph tells us that____________________.

A.cancer is the world’s biggest killer.

B.9.6 million people die from cancer each year.

C.scientists have found ways to cure cancer completely.

D.there have been some improvements in cancer treatment.

2What do we know about Vitrakvi?

A.It can make the immune system weak.

B.It is a new drug that can treat 17 kinds of cancer.

C.It can’t be used to treat lung cancer or breast cancer.

D.It can be used for treating all types of cancer.

3According to Paragraph 4, why is this new simple cancer test important?

A.Because it tests a patient’s blood instead of tissue.

B.Because patients can do it on their own.

C.Because it shortens the time it takes to detect cancer.

D.Because it is more accurate than traditional tests.

4According to the story, future cancer patients can feel more______.

A.hopefulB.scaredC.disappointedD.worried
