2．Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest，Mount Qomolangma's peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap．
So far，more than 350climbers have successfully reached the peak．And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks （狹窄路段） on the way to the peak，a situation that isn't just uncomfortable-it's cold and windy up there-but downright dangerous．If bad weather strikes，climbers can and do die．
As a matter of fact，the dangerous crowds aren't the only problem on Qomolangma．All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear-and much of them ends up being left on the mountain，sometimes even the peak itself．Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world's largest dump．Here's mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma："The two standard routes，the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge，are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere．"
But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma．Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition，which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008．So far they've collected over 13tons of garbage．
Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose．As part of the Mount Everest 8844Art Project，a group of 15artists from Nepal collected 1.5tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers．They've transformed the cans and oxygen tanks-and in one case，part of the remains of a helicopter-into 74pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital．Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association，which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain．

分析 文章介紹由于很多人攀登上珠峰，現(xiàn)在那里已經(jīng)變成了一個垃圾堆．
解答 28-31 BAAB
28 B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段的句子"And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks （狹窄路段） on the way to the peak，a situation that isn't just uncomfortable"可知去珠穆朗瑪峰頂峰的狹窄路段經(jīng)常很擁擠．故選B．
29 A 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)文章第三段的句子"The two standard routes，the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge，are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere．"兩個線路都被氧氣罐和破損的帳篷污染了，而前面的句子"All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear-and much of them ends up being left on the mountain，"很多留在山頂上的東西應該是登山者用的設備．可知gear就是"登山的設備"．故選A．
30 A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段的句子"As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project，a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers．They've transformed the cans and oxygen tanks-and in one case，part of the remains of a helicopter-into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal's capital．"可知由15個尼帕爾的藝術家組成的小組用珠峰上的垃圾創(chuàng)作了藝術品．故選A．
31 B 主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章的內容和第一段的句子"Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest，Mount Qomolangma's peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap．"可知文章是介紹由于很多人攀登上珠峰，現(xiàn)在那里已經(jīng)變成了一個垃圾堆．故選B．
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
