閱讀理解

　　Mt．Qomolangma was first conquered(征服)in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the climbers to reach the top．More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers．This doesn’t stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top．

　　Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall．Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain．A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn’t manage to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying．New Zealander Rob Hall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top．These two men had something in common：they were both guides and always took a “tour” of less experienced climbers up the mountain．

　　There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt．Qiomolangma：a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning．Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance．In spite of all these there is a business in leading guided tours to the top．Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay 64 000 or more to achieve their aim．

　　Many people wonder how guides can look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive．Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt Qiomolangma, believes that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a weak climber to turn back at any point if he feels that climber is a danger to the team．

　　Whether these expeditions(遠(yuǎn)征)are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt．Qiomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people．One truth, however, will always remain：it doesn’t matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt．Qiomolangma, the possible result will be death．

Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3. Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.

“I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (附屬的) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”

Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.

The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China’s development over the next 10 years, said experts. The World Expo is known as “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months. The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world.

China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event’s about 159-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.

The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.

A. 4；5          B. 5；4          C. 4；4                D. 5；5

So much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3,000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．

When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously （極大的）．

How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．

The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal （水平的） surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read with a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understanding of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand．Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush, start out slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase your speed．

The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals．Read using different techniques,

but make sure you understand what you're reading．

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

A．Now there is limited information than ever before．

B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．

C．Now people can read what they like．

D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．

2.The underlined sentence “you should be focused” in the fifth paragraph means that ______．

A．a(chǎn) person should devote his attention to it while reading

B．your feelings will be hurt while reading

C．a(chǎn) person should smooth away difficulties while he reads

D．you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading

3.To speed up your reading, you should_________．

A．sit up straight with your book flat and use something to guide your eyes

B．say every word out loud and sound it out

C．know it is necessary to read quickly

D．underline some important words while you say them
