Clean up the world’s highest mountain
China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world’s highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8, 000 metres up the mountain.
The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring.
Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks.
On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp.
Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8, 000 metres where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side.
Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago.
27. What can we guess from the first paragraph ________
A. Some climbers died during mountain climbing.
B. No climbers will climb Mount Qomolangma.
C. About8, 000 people died of climbing the mountain.
D. Mount Qomolangma is cleaned up every year.
28. Which of the following is TRUE ________
A. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers climb the mountain from the north side.
B. China has set up stations to deal with rubbish which is left on the mountain.
C. On the Nepalese side, climbers should take rubbish back to the base camp.
D. In China, people use helicopters to take the rubbish back to the base camp.
29. The underlined word “victims” means ________.
A. persons who enjoy climbing B. persons who work hard
C. persons who have experienced death D. persons who help climbers
30. We can mainly learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A. the weather in the world is getting warmer
B. Edmund and Tenzing were famous climbers
C. Qomolangma is now getting much cleaner
D. Qomolangma faces serious rubbish problems

There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said. ____31____
◆Don’t worry too much about pronouncing (发音) words the wrong way.
Pronunciation is important of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect.
◆Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says.
____32____ It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning.
◆____33____
Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Don’t lose hope and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. ____34____ Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures !
A. Don’t give up.
B. Don’t waste time.
C. There are tens of thousands of words in English.
D. Some words are pronounced differently in British English and American English.
E. But some advice might make learning a new language easier-and more fun.
F. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language.

考查冠词用法。a表泛指，不定冠词，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；an表泛指，不定冠词，用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the表特指，定冠词。第一空，根据“had … one-hour trip”可知，此处应用不定冠词表泛指，且one是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a；第二空，根据“… European country”可知，此处是指一个欧洲国家，应用不定冠词表泛指，且European是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故选A。

—Really ________ will they come back
A. has been to; How soon B. has gone to; How soon
C. has been in; How long D. has gone to; How long

考查现在完成时和特殊疑问句。How soon 多久，一般对将来时间进行提问；How long多长，一般对时间长短进行提问；has been to 是已经去过某处，并且已经回来了；has gone to 是已经去了某处，但是到目前为止还没有回来；has been in 待在某地。结合“will they come back”可知表示去了某地用have/has gone to，主语“my father”为第三人称单数，用has；结合“will they come back”可知是询问多久之后，用how soon提问，故选B。
3. —I wanted to help Nancy, but she ________.
—Maybe she can do it by herself.
A. received B. returned C. repeated D. refused

D. did; finish; has finished
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——游行持续了多长时间？——半小时前就结束了。
考查动词时态。根据“How long”可知，第一空所在句子要用现在完成时，主语是the parade，所以结构为：has+过去分词，且动词要用延续性动词，be over是延续性动词，be的过去分词是been；又根据“half an hours ago”可知，第三空所在句子用一般过去时。故选C。
6. —How do you like working in this office

【详解】句意：——我必须今天还书吗？——不，你不必。这本书你可以再借一星期。
考查情态动词和动词辨析。needn’t不需要；mustn’t禁止；don’t have to不必；keep保管，延续性动词；borrow借，非延续性动词。第一个句子是由must引导的一般疑问句，其对应的否定回答是don’t have to或needn’t，排除B和C选项；“for+一段时间”要与延续性动词一起连用，所以第二个空格填keep。故选A。
8. It ________ two years since we ________ this school. We really love it.
A. was; has entered B. was; entered
C. is; has entered D. is; entered
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：自从我们进入这所学校已经有两年了。我们真的很喜欢它。
考查动词的时态。根据分析句子可知，此处考查常用句式：It is/has been+时间段+since从句，表示“自从……有……了”，后面跟过去的时间点或一般过去时的从句，表示一段时间，主句时态是一般现在时或现在完成时可知，第一个空填is或has been；第二个空填entered。故选D。
9. —Is it the most wonderful football match you have ________ watched
—Yes. I have ________ watched such a wonderful match before.
A. yet; never B. already; yet
C. ever; never D. ever; yet

A. Never mind B. All right C. With pleasure D. My pleasure
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——艾米，谢谢你给我提供建议。
——我很荣幸，很高兴为你服务。这就是朋友的作用。
考查情景交际。Never mind没有关系，不要放在心上；All right 好的，可以；With pleasure我很乐意；My pleasure我很荣幸，很高兴为你服务。根据下文，这就是朋友的作用。结合语境可知选D。
【点睛】情景交际的考查是英语考试的重点，做此类题型首先要理解各个选项中句子的含义，然后结合具体语境选择合适答语。回答时一般要遵从以下几个原则：礼貌原则，利他原则和英语文化习惯。平时应注意积累各种习惯用语，了解英美文化的区别，尤其注意不能以中式思维思考英语问题。平时应加强英语阅读，增强语感，多了解一些英语文化方面的知识。

Clean up the world’s highest mountain
China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world’s highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8, 000 metres up the mountain.
The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300 The climbing season will be controlled to spring.
Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks.
On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp.
Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the “death area” above 8, 000 metres where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side.
Qomolangma has become the world’s highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago.

The government has built many shops and tall buildings in some large open spaces. Most people have moved into new flats. Many people have their own cars. People are enjoying a comfortable life. I have changed a lot, too. In the past, I spent too much time playing computer games. But now, I often read books in the library in my free time. I enjoy reading books about technology. Summer holiday is coming. My parents and I are planning to visit you and go on a trip to New York.
I hope to meet you soon.
Yours,
Li Ming
