【题目】 Sitting on the “Roof of the World”, Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve is one of the world’s hotspots for biodiversity protection. Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.
“Conducting research and protecting the region can help us learn more about the origin and development of the earth, as well as our human-beings and wildlife,” said Cheng Pengfei, president of the Chinese Academy of Surveying & Mapping (CASM).
The weather in the Mount Qomolangma area changes frequently. While the maximum temperature in the tent is more than 20 degrees Celsius, or even 30 degrees Celsius at noon, it may start snowing in the afternoon, and a gale may spring up at night, even blowing away the tents. Those taking part in the mission are ready for the task after preparing thoroughly at the base camp.
The complex geological environment has formed diverse landforms in the area. Distinctive snow mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and glaciers can be found. And the unique ecological environment has also established a special biological diversity.

这是一篇说明文。继上一次官方测量后,中国队将再次测量珠穆朗玛峰的高度。开展研究和保护该地区可以帮助我们进一步了解地球的起源和发展,以及人类和野生动物。珠峰的气候变化频繁,复杂的地质环境在该地区形成了多种地貌。
【1】细节理解题。根据第一段Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.在上一次官方测量后,珠穆朗玛峰将由中国队再次测量,以确定它的准确高度。由此可知,珠穆朗玛峰的高度以前被测量过。故选B。
【2】词意猜测题。根据划线但此次后面的even blowing away the tents可知,甚至会吹走帐篷,由此可以猜出,划线单词gale是指大风,故选C。
【3】推理判断题。第一Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.可知,继上一次官方测量后,中国队将再次测量珠穆朗玛峰,以确定它的准确高度。由此可以看出,这篇文章是关于中国队测量珠峰的相关事宜,可能在报纸上看到。故选D。
