It was called the Second Step. The top of Mount Qomolangma seemed right within reach. But no one had ever climbed the last few metres of the Second Step before.
Liu Lianman went first. He tried four times. Each time, he fell back into the snow. The thin air took his strength away. "I'm not strong enough to try again," he thought. So he chose to be a "human ladder" for his teammates! He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Bit by bit, Liu stood up and helped Qu climb to the top. Every second was painful, but Liu stood calm and quiet. And he did the same for Gong Bu. Then he and Wang Fuzhou climbed up with a rope.
But Liu was too tired to continue. ▲ They gave Liu all their oxygen (氧气). It was dangerous to climb without oxygen, but they knew Liu needed it. They made every effort through the cold and dark. Hours later, at 4:20 am on 25 May, they successfully reached the top! They were the first Chinese to do so! They were also the first people to climb the difficult North Ridge. What's more, no one had done so without using oxygen before!
When they returned to base camp, they were welcomed as heroes. People cheered for Liu, too. He did not reach the top, but he shouldered his team into China's mountaineering history.

B、He wanted to save the oxygen for use later. C、He thought using a rope was too dangerous for his team. D、He was unable to climb up but he wanted his team to succeed.(3)、Which of the following is suitable for the "____"?A、He was the only person who knew the way back. B、The other members decided to take a short break. C、The team were worried, but they had to keep going. D、The mountain became much more dangerous in the dark.(4)、What does the underlined sentence "he shouldered his team into China's mountaineering history" mean?A、Liu carried all the heavy things on his shoulders.

D、Liu was the first Chinese person to reach the top of the mountain.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Climbing Without Oxygen B、The Discovery of the Second Step C、The Shoulders of a Hero: A Historic Climb D、The Loneliest Journey to the Roof of the World6. 阅读短文,回答问题
The ocean is far more than just blue water. If you dive down from the surface, you will pass through five different layers (层). Each layer has its own light, temperature, and special sea creatures (生物).
The first layer is the Sunlit Layer, from the surface down to about 200 metres. Plenty of sunlight can reach this area. Because it is warm and bright, it is home to most well-known sea animals, like seals, whales, and sea turtles.
Deeper down is the Twilight Layer, from 200 to 1,000 metres. There is much less sunlight here, and it gets colder slowly. Animals like lantern fish and sharks are common visitors. They are used to living under the weak light.
If we keep going deeper, we will enter the Midnight Layer, 1,000 to 4,000 metres deep. No sunlight can reach this place at all. It is totally dark and freezing cold. To survive, some special fish can make light by themselves. Some even have special stomachs so that they can eat fish much bigger than themselves.
Below that is the Abyss, from 4,000 to 6,000 metres. The water pressure here is extremely (极度) strong. Only a few tough creatures like sea pigs can live in such terrible conditions.
The deepest part is the Hadal Layer, deeper than 6,000 metres. It is a world of complete darkness and huge water pressure. Giant tube worms are one of the few lucky creatures that can survive in this extreme environment.
The ocean hides countless secrets. From the bright top to the dark bottom, every layer is a magical home for different lives.
(1)、Which animal can you probably see if you swim at a depth of 100 metres?A、A seal. B、A lantern fish. C、A sea pig. D、A giant tube worm.(2)、What does the underlined word "tough" in the fifth paragraph mean?A、可爱的 B、顽强的 C、柔软的 D、凶猛的(3)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A、The Sunlit Layer is home to most familiar sea animals. B、The Twilight Layer receives the most sunlight. C、The fish with "special stomachs" can use sunlight to warm themselves up. D、The Abyss is deeper than 6,000 metres.(4)、What's the structure of the passage?A、
B、
C、
D、
(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、The ocean has many secrets for scientists to discover. B、The ocean is beautiful and has many different colours. C、Different layers of the ocean are homes to different lives. D、The deeper the ocean is, the more dangerous the creatures are.四、短文填空

Located in northeastern Sichuan Province, the Luojiaba Site lies in Puguang Town, Xuanhan County, Dazhou City. It sits at a special place where ancient Qin, Chu, Ba and Shu cultures met. With rivers and mountains around it, this huge area is a very important cradle (摇篮) of ancient civilization in Southwest China
The site has a long history of about 5,300 years. People lived here for more than 3,000 years, from the late Stone Age to the Han Dynasty. The ancient Ba people, especially the Cong tribe (賨人部落), lived mostly in Luojiaba. The Ba people were brave and clever. Far away from the centre of China, they created their own special and great culture and lived here for hundreds of years.
After years of digging, archaeologists (考古学家) have found many amazing things here. These include beautiful bronze weapons, pots, jade objects, and high-class tombs. They also found turtle shells and deer antlers. These things present a full picture of the Ba people's life and social culture.
Today, Luojiaba is one of the largest and best-preserved (保存最完好的) Ba culture sites in China. It is known as one of the greatest treasures of Bashu culture after Sanxingdui. It fills the gap (空白) of historical records of the ancient Ba Kingdom, offering valuable first-hand information to experts.
For modern people, Luojiaba is a window into the mysterious past. It shows us that ancient China had many different cultures. We can also see how smart ancient people were. At the same time, it helps local tourism and teaches young people to love their hometown and understand the importance of protecting their culture for the future.
