二、阅读理解
A(2025 南京鼓楼四校期末联考)
One of the world's most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of

the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the
southwestern part of China. Of all the mountains, Qomolangma is the highest and
the most famous. It is 8,848.86 metres high and so is very dangerous to climb.
Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing
(极冷的) weather and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The
first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed(成功) was Junko Tabei from Japan
in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk(冒险) their lives? One of the main reasons is that people want to
challenge(挑战) themselves when they meet difficulties. The spirit(精神) of these climbers shows us
that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be
stronger than the forces of nature.
