• 2．We humans like to conquer.
     For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy（獎杯）and tennis players crave a Grand Slam win，mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet-Mount Qomolangma，which towers about 8，844 meters above sea level.
  " Everybody wants to stand on top of the world， "Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just "Conquered" Mount Qomolangma，told the Los Angeles Times.
     However，this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.
     During this year's climbing season-from March to May-at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas，making it one of the worst seasons on record.And the fact that many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major factors（因素）contributing to the tragedy，according to USA Today
     "They don't train very hard.They underestimate（低估）Qomolangma， " Jangbu Sherpa，who has been working as a guide on Mount Qomolangma since 2006，told NBC News "There are lots of climbers who just want to check the box so that they can say they've been to the top of the world. "
     This ignorant attitude of climbers also leads to other problems-apart from putting their awn lives at risk，of course.According to Huff Post，the mountains cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash- including food wrappers（包裝袋），and oxygen tanks-left behind this climbing season.This once holy（神圣的）and peaceful corner of the world has，as The Atlantic reporter Margret Grebowics put it， "lost its magic".
     Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself-real meaning.And for Alison Levine，a US mountaineer who reached the summit（山頂）of Mount Qomolangma in 2010，the meaning doesn't come with the summit itself，but with everything that led her up to it.
     "When I did make it to the summit，what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn't change you and doesn't change the world， "Levine told the NPR. "It's really about the journey.The journey is the most important thing on any mountain. "
     It's true that we humans like to conquer.But the first step of conquering anything is probably to learn to conquer our own greed（貪婪） and ignorance.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "crave" in Paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．be positive about.
  B．be likely to win.
  C．have no interest in.
  D．have a strong desire for.
  （2）Which of the following statements is FALSE？

  
  A．Climbers left tons of trash behind while climbing Qomolangma.
  B．This year's climbing season is one of the worst seasons on record.
  C．The best time to climb Qomolangma this year was from March to May.
  D．Not having professional equipment caused the climbing tragedy this year.
  （3）What matters more to Levine when she climbs？

  
  A．The journey to reach the top.
  B．The spirit to conquer the top.
  C．Being on top of the world.
  D．Being able to change the world.
  （4）What attitude does the author hold toward climbing Mount Qomolangma？

  
  A．Critical.
  B．Positive.
  C．Encouraging.
  D．Ashamed.

第二節(jié)（共1小題，每小題2.5分，共12.5分）七選五

• 3．How to lower costs and improve the living quality？ There are numerous products posted on social media，and you might believe an electric toothbrush，Luna facial cleaning massager，a flight ticket to Phuket and so on will bring you a better life.But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years，your income cannot keep pace with expense.（1）

  Here's how：
     Keep running or doing yoga
     It seems to be a challenge to afford a fitness center costing over 10，000 yuan in annual fees or for a personal trainer.But you can buy a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat instead.Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life. （2）

  
     Go to museums or libraries
     Chasing young good-looking stars，watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are popular with many young people.（3）

  You seem to fail to take into account a variety of exhibitions and resources updated frequently in major cities.Why not have a try？What you need to do is to choose themes that you are interested in，make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.
     （4）

  
     For some young people，the easy and instant access and the discount codes of online shopping make it an addictive draw.Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the producers.For example，many buy new clothing and they don't wear.
     （5）

  Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living，but your optimistic attitude towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.
  
  

  A.Stop over-spending online B.Limit your shopping spending C.So，how can we save some money and improve quality of life？ D.Making money and saving money are not the final goal of life. E.To live a quality life requires more self-discipline than money. F.However，this would do little to enrich your spiritual life and add to economic burdens. G.Exercise is more rewarding than holding a membership card at an expensive fitness club.
