二、你认为什么样的人才能成为真正的探索者？请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
On 9 October 2024, Nima Rinji Sherpa, from Nepal, reached the top of Mount Shishapangma (希夏邦马峰) in Xizang, China, at the age of 18, becoming the youngest person in the world to summit (登上顶峰) all 14 of the world's 8,000-metre peaks.
Nima is a modest and shy boy. He always wears a smile on his face and never talks much about his own abilities or achievements. When he was a little boy, he often went hiking with his family. His father and uncle are good climbers with a lot of experience. They taught Nima many climbing skills when he was a child. He started climbing the highest mountains at the age of 16. It took him only 740 days to climb all 14 peaks above 8,000 metres.
Nima Rinji Sherpa told BBC News that he enjoyed climbing mountains. He believes that climbing mountains can show how strong, brave, and passionate (热情的) a person can be. He said, "When I stand on top of a mountain, the other mountains appear so small." His success shows us that nothing is impossible as long as we stay determined.
