Question

【题目】 Xia Boyu, a 70-year-old man, reached the top of Mount Everest in May last year. What makes his climb special is that Xia has no legs.

Xia first climbed Mount Everest with other climbers in 1975. However, they had to stop halfway because they met a snowstorm. The team had to stop because of the bad weather in the mountain for two days. After the climb, Xia lost his legs.

However, Xia refused to give up. He made three more climbs in 2014, 2015 and 2016 but he got back every time for different reasons. To prepare for his fifth climb, he got up at four every morning to do exercise for 90 minutes. Then he rode to a mountain 20 kilometers away from his home and climbed it. Finally, Xia reached the top of Mount Everest successfully in May, 2018, although he could only stand there for less than ten minutes because of a snowstorm.

Xia has become the first one to reach the top of Mount Everest without two legs. His story is sure to encourage more people to work hard for their dreams.

【1】题意：为什么夏的攀登如此特别？考查细节理解。根据“What makes his climb special is that Xia has no legs使他的攀登与众不同的是，夏没有腿”，可知是因为他没有腿，故填Because he has no legs.。

【2】题意：夏爬过几次珠穆朗玛峰？考查细节理解。根据“To prepare for his fifth climb, he got up at four every morning to do exercise for 90 minutes为了准备他的第五次攀登，他每天早上4点起床做90分钟的运动”，可知攀登了五次，故填Five times.。

【3】题意：夏是什么时候成功登顶的？考查细节理解。根据“Finally, Xia reached the top of Mount Everest successfully in May, 2018最终，在2018年5月，夏成功登顶珠峰”，可知填In May, 2018.。

【4】The team队伍；had to stop不得不停止；because of由于，表原因；the bad weather坏天气；in the mountain在大山里；for two days有两天。根据句意结构，可知填：由于（持续）两天的恶劣天气（的原因），登山队不得不停了下来。

【5】考查标题归纳。开放性题目，答案不统一。根据短文内容，结合最后“Xia has become the first one to reach the top of Mount Everest without two legs夏成为第一个没有双腿登顶珠峰的人”，可知“The first person to reach the top of Mount Everest without legs第一个没有双腿登顶珠峰的人”符合文意，故填The first person to reach the top of Mount Everest without legs。
