Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of Mount Everest？ 1 believe George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the summit(顶峰) before then in 1924. This is 2 to know because both men disappeared on mountain.

In 1999，a team of climbers visited Everest，hoping to 3 this mystery. Near Everest's First Step，they 4 Mallory's oxygen tank(氧气罐)—evidence(证据) that he and Irvine were near the top. Close by，a member of the team，Anker，discovered Mallory's body.

When the team 5 Mallory's body，they found items like a knife and matches，but no 6 . Why is this so important？Mallory carried a photo of his wife with him. He planned to 7 it at the top of Everest if he reached the summit.

Did Mallory and Irvine 8 their goal and reach the top？Probably not，says Anker. Here's why.

Mallory and Irvine were last seen near Everest's Second Step. This is a 27­metre(90­foot) wall of rock. Climbing this part is difficult，even with 9 tools. Without the right tools，it is doubtful they were able to continue to the 10 .

They were near the summit 11 in the day. Climbers who reach the summit at this time need to camp at the top. 12 you do this，it is common to suffer from frostbite(冻伤). But Mallory's body had no 13 of frostbite.

So what happened to them？Anker thinks 14 probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down， 15 he fell by accident. Irvine's body has never been found. Whatever happened，they will always be remembered as early Everest heroes.

二、阅读理解。(2019武汉)

Ever since I was a little girl，I've loved reading crime and detective(侦探) novels，so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However，my family is very big on having a traditional career(职业) and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing，my parents told me that: I couldn't. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career，and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied journalism(新闻)，but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work，not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise(妥协)，especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice：by the time I was twenty­five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent.

To be honest，I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything，and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, “Well，if you think it'll make me successful，okay. ” I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some

questions about it，and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it—she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished！Of course，sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies，but I think my parents probably did me a favour：my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

( D )16. Hazel is probably . A．an agent B．a journalist C．a teacher and artist D．a teacher and writer

( B )17. The underlined words “is very big on” in the passage most probably mean .

A．to give no advice

B．to like something very much C．to have more experiences D．to misunderstand something

( B )18. It's clear that Hazel . A．agreed to study journalism for a degree B．accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name C．would like to write something for teaching D．told her workmates about her writing novels

( A )19. Hazel finally realised that her parents' advice on her career was . A．helpful B．exciting C．disappointing D．risky

( C )20. We can infer from the passage that . A．Hazel likes showing off in public B．Hazel's students all want to write novels C．Hazel's agent has played a role in her success D．older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

Finally，Sichuan is a great place for animal lovers. It is home to one of the world's cutest animals. More than 30 percent of the world's giant pandas live there.
