Government in Tibet have denied the permanent(永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.

The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was “permanently closed due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.

Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square km, it is home to one of the world's most weak ecosystems(生态系统).

Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.

To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims(受害者) above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt　 with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.

Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.

These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education, said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.

1.Which of the following can replace the underlined words “went viral” in Paragraph 2 ?

A. Spread wild. B. Block out. C. Gave away. D. Shoot up.

2.What can we learn according to Kelsang’s words about the National Nature Reserve?

A. Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.

B. Permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.

C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.

D. The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.

3.Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above?

A. To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.

B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth.

C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.

D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.

4.How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present?

A. 300 B. 1000 C. 85 D. 1085

Climbers at the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, will now be able to make video calls and surf the Internet on their mobile phones, a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) telecom group claims.

Ncell, a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera, said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation (3G) phone base station at an altitude of 5,200 metres in the Everest region.

“Today we made the world’s highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully. The coverage (覆盖范围) of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest,” Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu.

The installation (安装) will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world’s highest mountain every year.

Climbers who reached its 8,848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.

“This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster, more affordable telecommunication services from the world’s tallest mountain,” said Lars Nyberg, chief executive of TeliaSonera, which owns 80 percent of Ncell.

The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet, said the company, which also claimed the world’s lowest 3G base at 1,400 metres below sea level in a mine in Europe.

Despite the installation in Mount Everest, telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28 million people of Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.

TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100 million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90 per cent of the Himalayan nation’s population.

The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom, Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile.

Around 3,000 people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953.

1.Who are most likely to benefit from the 3G services at Mount Everest?

A. The telecom firm.          B. The local residents.

C. Travelers to Nepal.                  D. Mount Everest explorers.

2.According to Lars Nyberg, the 3G services they provide __________.

A. are fast and convenient             B. are a little expensive

C. can make voice-only calls      D. offer free emailing

3.What do we know about TeliaSonera?

A. 80 percent of it is owned by Ncell

B. It belongs to Nepal Telecom.

C. It is in the charge of Pasi Koistinen

D. It provides services for Pasi Koistinen.

4.What is the best title of the text?

A. Telecommunication in Nepal

B. 3G services reach Mt. Everest summit

C. TeliaSonera takes lead in communication

D. Good news for hikers and climbers
