Have you ever visited Hukou Waterfall? Hukou Waterfall is always compared to a shining pearl (明珠) in
the middle reaches of the Yellow River.
When the Yellow River runs through mountains to Hukou, the river narrows (变窄) from 300 meters to just
over 50 meters. The water suddenly falls into a deep pool. As a result, a wonderful waterfall appears. It seems that
the water pours into a big pot, which is how it got the name “Hukou”.
The power of the waterfall is tremendous (巨大的) when it falls, so it is hard for you to get close to the
main waterfall. Looking from far away, you can enjoy the amazing fog-covered water. The beauty cannot be
described in words. You cannot know unless you visit it in person.
There are four wonders of Hukou, “smoking in water”, “colourful bridge to the sky”, “dragons playing with
waves” and “thunder generated from valley stream”. The waterfall flies straight down with water splashing (溅),
clouds and mist rising. Under the sunlight, you will see a rainbow hanging over the waterfall. The poem “Chant to
Hukou” written by Zhang Yingchun in the Ming Dynasty describes the beauty of “colourful bridge to the sky”.
The view of Hukou Waterfall changes according to the seasons. So you can enjoy its special beauty from
spring to winter.

Chogori (乔戈里峰) stands on the Chinese-Pakistan border. Chogori is from the Tajik language, it means
“high, great and magnificent”. Internationally, it is better known as K2. Chogori is about 8,611 meters high, and it
is the second highest mountain in the world.
And Chogori is not Qomolangma. On the one hand, Chogori is a steeper (更陡峭的) and more dangerous
peak. In fact, it is the most difficult peak to reach in the world. The first two people to reach the top of Chogori—
Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni from Italy—did it in 1954. In 1986, the first woman did it too. Since
1954, only 281 people have reached the top, and 49 others have been killed (However, Qomolangma has been
reached 3,000 times and only 15 climbers lost their lives). Of all the over 8,000-meter-high peaks, it has the
highest death rate.
On the other hand, this great peak is for professional climbers only. Here, no commercial (商业的)
climbing organization will provide you with any services, and even top-class climbers will choose their climbing
partners with a particularly eagle (鹰) eye. The leader of a Japanese K2 team said when organizing his team in
1982, “We are professional climbers, and all know that if we run into trouble at a height of 8,000 meters on K2, it
is impossible to get help. If you do not have the confidence and determination (决心) to face possible trouble, you
should not go!”
This is Chogori! In the eyes of the top-class climbers, it is the most beautiful peak, and it is the danger that
attracts them.
1．Where is Chogori?
2．What’s the height of Chogori?
3．When did the first two people reach the top of Chogori?4．Which is more difficult and dangerous to reach, Qomolangma or Chogori?

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources（自然资源）. Many of the world’s great cities are
located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through. That plays an important part in
the lives of its people.
Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans. Since the beginning of history, people have used
rivers for transportation. The longest one in the USA is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the
people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation. Ships can travel along it for a
thousand miles. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so
deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and
recreation for people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers
sometimes build a dam（大坝）across a river and let a lake from behind the dam. Then people can use the water
not only to irrigate（灌溉）their field but also to make electricity for their homes and industries. However, large
cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries
increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted. People are learning the importance, however, of
doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of the natural resources.
1．How many rivers does almost every country have flowing through?
2．Where do most rivers begin?3．What is the greatest river for navigation?
4．Can people use the water from the dam to make electricity?
5．Why is the water in the river polluted?
【答案】1．At least one. 2．In mountains. 3．The Amazon in Brazil. 4．Yes, they can. 5．
Because the cities grow in size and industries increase in number.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界各地的河流，以及其用途。

flowing through.”可知，世界上许多大城市都位于河流上，几乎每个国家都至少有一条河流流经。故填At
least one.
2．根据“Most rivers begin in mountains and end in the oceans.”可知，大部分河流起源于山脉，结束于海洋。
故填In mountains.
3．根据“The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil.”可知，所有河流中最
适合航海的是巴西的亚马逊地区。故填The Amazon in Brazil.

dynasties. They keep not only the traditional culture but also the way of life in the past. People can go shopping,
eat delicious food and watch the street life by visiting the Beijing hutongs. What’s more, it’s a good way to learn
more about the daily life of people in Beijing.
A hutong is a lane formed by traditional courtyard compounds (筑有围墙的院子) on both sides. The
compounds are called siheyuan, meaning “four joined-together courtyard.” The hutongs have interesting names,
which tell their origin (起源), location or history. They are in these gray lanes where kids talk and play.
One of China’s most famous writers, Laoshe, was born in siheyuan in the west of the city. The memories of
his childhood in hutongs were so important to him that even after he had been away from Beijing for more than 20
years, he still clearly remembered them and wrote them into a novel called Four Generations under One Roof.
Now, Beijing still has about 400,000 siheyuan for people to live in. However, most hutongs are in great

car (缆车). It makes it easier for children and old people to climb the wall. The next interesting part was walking
along the wall. When you’re on the wall, you’ll be surprised at the beautiful sights. But the most interesting part of
the trip was the ride. You can take a slide (滑梯) down from the wall. It takes about two or three minutes to slide
all the way down. That’s why more and more people like to visit Mutianyu Great Wall.
The secret of an enjoyable visit is to visit the wall early. Most people visit the wall on a day trip by coach

line. In July, 2024, the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese
Capital” was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, becoming China’s 59th World Heritage Site.
The Beijing Central Axis has a group of buildings and historical sites that shape Beijing’s old city. Running

Towers in the north and Yongdingmen Gate in the south.
The building of the Beijing Central Axis began in the 13th century and took shape in the 16th century.
According to Lyu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, this idea of city planning
dates back to the Kaogongji, written before 221 BC． This book explains how to plan a capital city.
The Beijing Central Axis shows traditional Chinese ideas of “zhong (中)” and “he (和)”. For example, the
royal palace was placed at the center, with other important buildings placed around it to create a sense of harmony.
“Beijing’s unique and great order is created by this central axis,” said Liang Sicheng (1901-1972), a
famous Chinese architect.

National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help
keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trip. Today, there are nearly 7,000 national parks around
the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing
landscapes, geographic wonders and colorful plants and animals. Here are two of them.
The Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park of the US is one of the great wonders of
the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long, up to 29 kilometers
wide, and 1.6 kilometers deep. The immensity (广大) of the canyon makes people think big.
Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the
park’s full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.
If you love animals, you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big
Five” live there. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard (豹), black rhinoceros (犀牛) and African buffalo (水牛). The name “Big Five” came from the five animals that were
hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park,
