A blind Chinese climber reached the summit(頂點(diǎn)) of Qomolangma,known in the West as Mount Everest,on Monday morning,becoming the first blind person from Asia ever to conquer the world's highest summit.
Zhang Hong,46,reached the top from the Nepali side,along with three high-altitude guides.
Zhang,who was born in Chongqing,lost his sight at the age of 21.He now works at Fukang Hospital Affiliated with Tibet University in Lhjye.aia.As Zhang began his climb of Qomolangma,which is 8,848.86 meters above sea level,his colleagues in Lhasa were excited to hear the news of his success.
"Many people may have doubted his attempt of climbing at first,but I was confident in him from the beginning," said Kyila,the secretary of the Fukang Angel Foundation,who also is a blind person. "I knew before that he could make it,and he did make it.I am really happy for him.He is a model for blind people to encourage them to chase their dreams.
Zhang's passion for climbing was inspired by Lotse,a famous Tibetan climber who conquered all the world's 14 summits above the altitude of 8,000 meters.Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer,who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001.Zhang was touched by the story,which ignited his dream of climbing.
As an amateur climber for years,Zhang had conquered three mountains above the altitude of 6,000 meters before climbing the world's highest summit.He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019.However,due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病),all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year,and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.
(1)What can we infer from what Kyila said? BB
A.He had been inspired by Lotse.
B.He had much belief in Zhang s success.
C.Zhang's colleagues doubted his motivation.
D.Zhang centered on climbing in his spare time.
(2)What does the underlined word "ignited" in paragraph 5 mean? AA
A.Lighted.
B.Accomplished.
C.Followed.
D.Recalled.
(3)Why did Zhang Hong fail to climb Qomolangma in 2020? CC
A.He was too weak.
B.He wasn't well prepared.
C.A pandemic broke out.
D.Extreme weather occurred.
(4)What's the best title for the text? BB

B.A Blind Climber Reaches Qomolangma Summit
C.Qomolangma Attracts More Chinese to Climb
D.A Chinese Climber Got Through the Pandemic

1.Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids(小行星) and comets,as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons,delivered by stars like Bruce Willis,to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality,if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock,the safest and best answer might be something more subtle,like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening,when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous,which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared,the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned,they said,with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell,our first planetary defense test was a success," said Elena Adams,the mission systems engineer,who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) ,a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months,scientists said,before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course,probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks,especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully,none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered,and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson,NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
(1)How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully?
A.The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B.They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C.The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D.They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
(2)What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft?
A.To search for evidence of alien life.
B.To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C.To save the world and deliver a drama.
D.To test technology for defending Earth.
(3)What can be inferred about Dimorphous?
A.It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B.It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C.It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D.It is expected to blow up after the impact.
(4)Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with?
A.Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B.NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C.Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D.NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布:2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷:6引用:4難度:0.5 -
