Krista Brown never exercised regularly, though in her adult life, she started doing yoga exercise for the
mind-body connection. But that all changed when her son, Tom, died of an accident. She felt like she had lost the
world overnight.
A few years later, Krista spotted one old photo with her families, standing on the top of Mount Cloundry.
“That was the first real smile I had after my son died,” says Krista. Before long, Krista received an email from an
organization that offers support to people who lost loved ones. They were hosting an adventurous tour to Mount
Shasta. Krista signed up, knowing it’s time to let go of the past.
During that climb, besides photographing the beauty of sunrise and stars, Krista found something that brought
the biggest joy to her. “I really love the planning of it, the experience of working with a team and the focus on
survival,” she says. Besides, she shared her story with other members and made life-long friends with them.
Since then, Krista has topped 19 mountains with no plans of stopping. “The most immediate effect of
mountaineering (登山运动) is that I actually have a life now, which let me be in the moment. If I miss my step, I’ll
slide. So I have to make sure I’m present, neither in the past being sad, nor in the future, wishing things were
different.”
Krista says mountaineering has helped her become a better mother too. “Even mothering my other kids, I was
第 2页/共 10页in a haze, sending them to the wrong classes or mixing up salt and sugar... The climbing got me out of that mess
and got my life back on track.” Her future plans? Summiting Mount Hood and Half Dome in Yosemite National
Park this summer.
4. What made Krista start mountaineering?
A. Disinterest to take yoga exercise.
B. Willingness to climb with families.
C. Eagerness to join in an organization.
D. Desire to ease the pain of losing her son.
5. What did Krista enjoy most about mountaineering?
A. The chance to take photos of nature.
B. The peace of surviving difficult weathers.
C. The friendship with other teammates.
D. The experience of planning and teamwork.
6. What direct benefit has Krista gained from mountaineering?
A. A positive attitude.
B. A sound body.
C. Long-term friendship.
D. Good parental methods.
7. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “haze” in the last paragraph?
A. Delight.
B
Confusion.
C. Satisfaction.
D. Sadness.
C
The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, in which tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands injured,
was the event that changed everything for China in this field. The 8.0-magnitude quake had presented the most
difficult relief (救助) challenges to the country since 1949, leading to a complete review and improvement of the
country’s emergency response (应对) capabilities. Since then, preventing and controlling disasters has become a
top concern for the Chinese government.
第 3页/共 10页For earthquakes, getting an early warning is extremely important. The Chengdu High-tech Disaster Reduction
Center found that a three-second early warning can lower the number of the injured by 14%; a ten-second warning,
by 39%; a 20-second warning, by 63%. So in the following years China has developed an automatic (自动的) early
warning system which can send out warnings to millions of people in China within just two minutes after an
earthquake.
In 2018, the Chinese government also created the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with civil
services, the Red Cross, and the National Fire and Rescue Administration to ensure a round-the-clock emergency
response. There are now 27 specialized teams for mountain, water, and air rescues, as well as earthquake relief, and
seven teams for helping with international rescue efforts.
Whether it is earthquake, typhoon, flood or forest fire, China has an excellent record in post-disaster recovery,
as it is able to organize resources from various departments including power, water conservancy and supply,
telecommunications and disease control. To reduce the effects of follow-up disasters, these departments would do
their parts to repair damaged roads and railways, restore power, water supply, communication and other services to
help people get back to normal life.
Disaster relief requires the whole society to work together. And China sets an example of how to prevent loss
and save lives by putting the people first.
8. How does this text show the importance of early warning systems?
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving examples.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By making contrast.
9. Why has the government set up the specialized teams?
A. To carry out disaster relief internationally.
B. To help the rescue and recovery work.
C. To train local people in disaster prevention.
D. To handle forest fires more effectively.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. The effects of follow-up disasters have been reduced.
B. A lot of natural disasters have happened in the world.
C. Disaster relief needs efforts across various departments.
第 4页/共 10页D. Different departments are responsible for building roads and railways.
11. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. China has improved disaster response and recovery.
B. China has developed an early warning system for earthquakes.
C. China organized various departments for post-disaster recovery.
D. China has created specialized departments to respond to earthquakes.

Have you ever thought that languages will die? It is thought that one language dies every two weeks. Linguists
(语言学家) say there are “an extinct language” and “a dead language”. The former is the language that no longer
exists due to there being no speakers or users, while the latter is the one that some people still use, even if there are
no native speakers left. Latin is probably the most widely known dead language, which is still studied for academic
(学术的) purposes but not used in daily life. There are also endangered languages, which are only spoken by a few
elderly people. When they pass away, the language may disappear too.
So, why do languages die? There are many reasons, such as evolution where languages change over time,
genocide (种族灭绝) where people are killed along with their language, or when a stronger group forces its
language on others. Sometimes, people stop using their language just because they mix with a larger group and
adopt its language instead.
For linguists, the loss of a language is a big deal. When a language dies, often the history, traditions and
culture of the people who spoke it die too. This makes our understanding of the world less complete. Therefore,
some linguists are working hard to prevent languages from dying, even though it’s a challenging task.
There’s a successful example of a language being revived. The native language of the Isle of Man, called
Manx, was once almost extinct. But with the support of the community, Manx is no longer a dead language. And
for the endangered languages, there’s more hope. The remaining native speakers can help preserve the language
before it dies out. Technology helps, too. For example, we can make recordings to digitally preserve dying
languages so that when a language does die we still have the ability to keep it frozen in time. And that can make all
the difference for future generations who want to learn the language of their ancestors or to dig deeper into their
own history.
12. What is “an extinct language”?
A. It is spoken by a few elderly people.
B. It is only used for academic purposes.
第 5页/共 10页C. It is no longer spoken or used by anyone.
D. It is still used but has no native speakers.
13. Why are some linguists trying to prevent a language from dying?
A. Because they want to have a more peaceful world.
B. Because they want to keep people who spoke it alive.
C. Because losing a language would cost a big deal of money.
D. Because a language’s disappearance would result in cultural loss.
14. How can technology help preserve endangered languages?
A. By keeping endangered languages digitally.
B. By teaching the young to dig into their own history.
C. By helping remaining native speakers learn their languages.
D. By encouraging younger generations to pick up their ancestors’ languages.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A book review.
B. A technology journal.
C. A history magazine.
D. A linguistics magazine.
