BClean up the world's highest mountainChina will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world's highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8, 000 metres up the mountain. The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world's highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring. Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks. On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters back to the base camp. Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the "death area" above 8,000 metres, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people have died on the mountain that year, one of them on the north side. Qomolangma has become the world's highest rubbish dump. Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 66 years ago. 48. What can we guess from the-first paragraph?A. Some climbers died during mountain climbing. B. No climbers will climb Mount Qomolangma. C. About 8, 000 people died of climbing the mountain. D. Mount Qomolangma is cleaned up every year. 49. Which of the following is TRUE?A, Each year, around 60, 000 climbers climb the mountain from the north side. B. China has set up stations to deal with rubbish which is left on the mountain. C. On the Nepalese side, climbers should take rubbish back to the base camp. D In China, people use helicopters to take the rubbish back to the base camp. 50. The underlined word "victims" means ____________________.A. persons who enjoy climbing   B. persons who work hardC. persons who have experienced deathD. persons who help climbers 51. We can mainly learn from the last paragraph that _____________________.A. the weather in the world is getting warmer B. Edmund and Tenzing were famous climbers C. Qomolangma is now getting much cleaner D. Qomolangma faces serious rubbish problemsCBeing generous to children's educationChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn music or dance, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. Chinese believe that the more expensive the education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills are different, maybe good in some areas, but poor in others. Most parents fail to realize that today's children are in need of self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills hat he will need later in life Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but also to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. 52. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Parents care about their money when educating their children. B. Parents don't often send their children to the best schools. C. Parents, Mom want their children to take extra-course activities. D. Parents spend much money on their children's education without thinking. 53. Most Chinese parents don't realize _________________.A. how much the best education is worth B when children should be educated C. what children really need in their life D. why school tests don't satisfy children54. The writer's attitude（态度） to children's education is that_______________.A. the cheaper the education is, the better it is. B. children today should learn difficult skills C. practical skills are helpful to children's growth D. school education can't meet parents' expectations六选四阅读∶DWhen I was in high school and college, I went to fast food restaurants pretty often. Even until today, fast food is a popular choice among students, So, what makes fast food restaurants really popular year after year?The food is not very expensive 55_________ So, it is good to get something tasty to eat and still have some money left for a movie later.

Mukbang started in South Korea in around 2010 and has spread(传播) all over the world. Why did mukbang first appear in this country? According to Jeff Yang, an Asian-American culture expert, eating on one's own can be hard in a country like South Korea because it has the culture of eating together.

This leads to bad habits and brings serious health problems. To draw people's attention, some mukbangers prepare a lot of food in front of the camera. But they throw away much food secretly during the show or throw up food after the show to make viewers believe they have eaten up everything. These mukbangers waste a lot of food. Such shows have been criticized(批评) by many people. Food waste is a serious problem around the world, and stopping food waste has special meaning for our country.

According to the website, the fishermen will be calling you from their ships.“Good morning! Are you up?” asks the fisherman in an advertisement on the website. “Yes, thanks to you,” answers the user. “Are you on your ship?” “Yeah, I got up at 3: 00, so I’m already on the sea,” the fisherman says. “I caught a big fish just now,” he adds.A wake-up call is certainly better than an alarm clock(闹钟).
