• 2．The idea of climbing Everest disgusted me.The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.Over the years，the crowds at Base Camp grew，leaving behind tons of trash.Whenever I was asked whether I'd climb Everest，my answer was always the same：not interested.
     That's probably where my personal Everest story would have ended，were it not for an old friend and his obsession （執(zhí)念）with one of the greatest mysteries.In 1999，Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory，the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the first to climb Everest.But Mallory's partner，Sandy Irvine，and the camera he had likely carried，were not found.The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
     Pollard's story moved me.I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable，perhaps easy.I was wrong.On the highest point on the planet，I was more tired than I'd ever been in any climbing.Along the way，I continuously tipped my hat，not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route.My search was in vain，but I began to reconsider Everest.
     I witnessed many climbers，who were much more than just self-centered tourists.We shared route information，weather forecasts，and family photos — all united around common goals.
     I went to Everest to seek Irvine.But in the end，I found something more difficult to get：the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared.It was hiding in plain sight，right where it has always been：inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers' footsteps up Everest.
  
  
  （1）What is the main reason why the author hated climbing Everest？

  
  A．He changed his climbing goal.
  B．Everest was seriously polluted by trash.
  C．Everest became an industry to make money.
  D．The mountain was too crowded with climbers.
  （2）Why did the author climb Everest later？

  
  A．Because he desired to challenge himself.
  B．Because he got motivated by Thom Pollard.
  C．Because his old friend persuaded him to climb again.
  D．Because he wanted to follow the footsteps of Mallory and Irvine.
  （3）What does the underlined phrase "tipped my hat" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Expressed my gratitude.
  B．Proved my determination.
  C．Relieved the tiredness.
  D．Showed my respect.
  （4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．Admiration for the climbers.
  B．Concern about the risk.
  C．Confidence about the journey.
  D．Hope for Everest's future.

• 3．Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona，in north-eastern Spain，for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town.There are injuries and deaths every year，but the event is of interest to many people.A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.
     That is a useful topic to explore.Architects，civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire，a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions（碰撞）.Unfortunately，solid information is hard to come by Daniel Parisi，the paper's lead author，realised that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.
     Dr Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2019，and filmed the runners as the animals were released.Later in the lab，they calculated the speed of the runners，the density （密度） of the crowd，the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.
     Perhaps unsurprisingly，the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near.Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd，which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up，in order to lower the risk of a collision，which could lead to a fall and，perhaps，injury or death.
     Yet it seems that，in the heat of the moment，people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other，and do not slow down.The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how best to plan the construction of future tunnels，bridges and other passages that restrict flow.The only option may well be to make them wider.
  
  （1）What did Dr Parisi and his team do in Pamplona？

  
  A．They proved his theory.
  B．They recorded a bull-run.
  C．They watched a thrilling bull-fight.
  D．They designed a psychological experiment.
  （2）What was the unexpected finding in the study？

  
  A．People slowed down in crowded areas.
  B．Tripping posed a danger to bull-runners.
  C．Bulls coming near made people running faster.
  D．People tended to speed up in high-density crowds.
  （3）What is implied in the last paragraph？

  
  A．People lose their mind in disasters.
  B．Future tunnels and bridges may be wider.
  C．Panicked crowds are aware of the danger of collision.
  D．Restricting flow helps to prevent people colliding each other.
  （4）Which is the best title for the text？

  
  A．How crowds react to panic
  B．Bull-runs caught on in Spain
  C．Dr Parisi's finding shocks the world
  D．What architects can learn from bull-running

      As a single mother，I've never doubted my daughter Jane's dream to be a singer on the stage.At an early age，she was crazy about singing.Whenever she had a chance，she would sing to her heart's content.Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
      Living in a small city，I took several odd jobs，determined to do everything in my power to support her.Soon after Jane attended school，her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing.Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
      Unfortunately，one noon a year later，Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down.She was rushed to hospital.When I hurried there，the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet.I froze with shock，feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world.Weak and dizzy，I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
      It was Mary，who got the news and raced here.She comforted me，saying firmly， "Grace，Jane needs you.You must stay calm and strong." I nodded.Having calmed down，I entered the ward with Mary.
  That night，Jane recovered her consciousness （知覺） and opened her eyes.Holding her hand，I said， "My dear，everything would be fine." Mary comforted her gently， "I know you are a strong girl，Jane.Don't worry.We'll be standing by you." I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane's cheeks.
      After two months，we returned home from hospital.Her teachers and friends frequently visited her.Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair.Never did she refer to the subject of singing again.I knew she was a nice and understanding girl，who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
