Qomolangma is the world’s highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time.

That’s why a 30-member Chinese survey team set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to re-measure its height on May 6. They are equipped with the latest technology. It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is-29℃-four degrees lower than in Antarctica-and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain. That’s why it’s still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get reliable results.

But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?

In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (欧亚板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak’s height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of Earth’s crust (地壳).

The survey team will also get firsthand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau (青藏高原).

1.Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?

A.Researchers measures the height of Qomolangma every year.

B.There is no agreed-upon height of Qomolangma at present.

C.It’s easy to measure the height of Qomolangma.

D.The height of Qomolangma increases every year.

2.Which of the following words could replace “peak” in Paragraph 2?

A.point B.top C.base D.edge

3.What challenge will the Chinese survey team face?

A.A lack of water. B.Dangerous animals.

C.Bad weather conditions. D.The movement of Earth’s crust.

4.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A.Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important.

B.What is the height of Qomolangma.

C.How Qomolangma became the highest mountain.

D.How plate movements have affected the height of Qomolangma.

Ed Dohring had dreamed of reaching the top of Mount Everest. But when he reached the mountain top a few days ago, he was shocked by what he saw.

Climbers were fighting to take selfies along the way. The flat part of the mountain top, which was about the size of two Ping-Pong tables, was packed with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, with temperature dropping to -30 Celsius.

“At least 10 people died. And some seemed to have been avoidable,” he said. “It was frightening when I had to step around the body of a woman who had just died.”

The problem hasn't been snowstorms or strong winds. Tourist guides and industry leaders blame having too many people on the mountain and too many untrained climbers.

The Nepalese government, hungry for every climbing dollar it can get, has no strict rules about who can climb Everest, and has allowed more climbers than Everest can safely deal with. It is just an invitation for disaster—at 29,000 feet. At that altitude, a delay of even an hour or two can mean life or death.

“To be sure, one of the biggest problems this year seems to be the number of people trying to reach the top of the mountain at the same time. And since there is no government traffic police high on the mountain, the task of deciding when and how many groups can start climbing is left up to tourism companies.” said Lukas Furtenbach, a guide who recently led his climbers to the Chinese side of Everest because of the overcrowding in Nepal and the rapid increase of untrained climbers. “But the government should not just take whatever they can get while ignoring the necessary traffic rules.”

1.Why did Ed Dohring feel frightened along the way to the Everest's top?

A.The mountain top was too small. B.A fight took place among the climbers.

C.The temperature suddenly fell to 30°C. D.He had to walk over a dead climber's body.

2.Who should be mainly responsible for the problem according to Lukas Furtenbach?

A.The traffic police. B.The tourists themselves.

C.The Nepalese government. D.The tourism companies.

3.Why did Lukas Furtenbach take the tourists to the part of Everest in China?

A.There were fewer climbers. B.It was a less dangerous road.

C.The weather was better there. D.It was a newly found attraction.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.An accident at the top of Mount Everest.

B.The poor management of the Nepalese government.

C.The causes of the accidents at the top of the Mount Everest.

D.The messy state of the tourist roads in the Mount Everest area.
