Chinese researchers reached the top of Qomolangma on May 4, 2022. They set up the world’s highest automatic (自动的) weather station at an altitude (海拔) of 8,830 meters. This helps them to study the influences of climate change on the environment.
It is the highest automatic weather station in the world now. It has taken the place of the station sitting at an altitude of 8,430 meters on the south side of the mountain, which is the second highest now. This allows Chinese scientists to directly collect data (数据) for the first time from the top of the world’s highest mountain.
Collecting and studying data from Qomolangma is not easy. But the data will give valuable information about the condition of local glaciers (冰川) and mountain snow. It will also help scientists study and understand the global monsoon (季风) system, so experts can make proper decisions about climate change.
Yao Tandong, a famous expert, said “Chinese scientists had set up eight weather stations from 5,200 to 8,830 meters above sea level. Half of the stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters. Along with strong government support and hard work by scientists, China has become a global front-runner in fields such as climate change.”
24．What is the altitude of the highest automatic weather station
A．7,000 meters. B．8,430 meters. C．8,830 meters.
25．Which statement (陈述) is NOT right according to the passage
A．Chinese scientists can directly collect data from the top of Qomolangma now.
B．It is hard to collect and study data from Qomolangma.
C．The second highest weather station is on the north side of the mountain.
26．How many weather stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters
A．Two. B．Four. C．Eight.
27．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage
A．Science. B．Sports. C．Travel.
When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said to me, “David, the music you like listening to is a lot of noise.” As it turns out, they are not alone. As I’ve grown older, I’ve often heard my peers (同龄人) say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that
The mere exposure effect (曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more likely we are to like it. When we are in our teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have as much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites. According to studies, by the time we turn 33 years old, most of us have completely stopped exploring new music.
But I think there is another reason for older people’s dislike of new music. Most new music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some types of music begin as a rebellion (反抗) by young people against out-of-date (过时的) ways of doing things. These types include punk (朋克), rap, hip-hop, heavy metal (重金属) and more. They naturally attract younger audience.
Do your parents dislike the music you like, too Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.
28．Why do many older people dislike new music
A．Because the new music sounds terrible.
B．Because they are afraid of noise.
C．Because most new music is not written for them.
29．What does the underlined word “familiar” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese
A．熟悉的 B．无聊的 C．容易的
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．All new music is written for young people.
B．Most people no longer explore new music at the age of 33.
C．Teenagers usually spend a lot of time watching popular TV series.
31．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Why do young people like the new music
B．Why don’t older people like rap music
C．Why don’t your parents like the music you like
