任务型阅读12篇 On top of the world With heavy winds, low oxygen (氧气) and -25°C temperatures, Qomolangma is one of the hardest mountains to climb. Despite the difficulty, Chinese researchers successfully reached the top of the mountain on May 4. They also set up the world’s highest automatic meteorological monitoring station (自动气象观测站), at an altitude (海拔) of 8,830 meters. “The new station is the highlight (亮点) of this scientific trip,” noted Guangming Daily. It replaces Balcony Station, set up by United States and British scientists, as the highest weather station on Earth. Balcony Station, set up on Qomolangma in 2019, sits at about 8,430 meters above sea level. Powered by solar panels (太阳能板), the new station can last for two years in bad weather. It has a satellite (卫星) communication system that can transmit data every 12 minutes. For the first time, Chinese scientists can collect data from the summit (山顶) of the world’s highest mountain. Studying data from Qomolangma will help scientists answer important questions. For example, will the ice cap above 8,000 meters melt due to global warming Will that affect the 10 big rivers in Asia that provide water to more than 2.5 billion people What effect (影响) does air pollution have on the mountain What is the ecosystem (生态系统) like 8,000 meters above sea level During this science trip, the researchers also measured (测量) the thickness of ice and snow at the summit with a high-precision radar (高精度雷达). Then, they collected ice and snow samples. They will examine the changing environments and ecosystems on the mountain, as well as study the effects of human activity on the area, Xinhua reported. 【回答问题】 1．Why is it difficult to climb Qomolangma 2．Which is the highest weather station on Earth 3．How many years can the new station last for in bad weather 4．How often does the satellite communication system transmit data 5．What did the researchers use to measure the thickness of ice and snow at the summit 阅读下面一组对话，根据对话内容完成下列各题。 A—Bobby B—Mum A: Mum, it’s raining again! I can’t go out to play with my friends. I don’t like the rain! B: But rain is useful. People need water. Animals and plants also need water. And most of the water comes from rain. Without (没有) rain, how can plants grow We will have nothing to eat. A: Oh, Mum! You like the animals and plants just because you want to eat them! B: No. We need them. If we have no food, we can only live (生存) for about one week. But without water, we can only live for three days. Then, do you still dislike the rain A: Mmm...But the rain makes all the streets wet. It’s difficult to walk quickly. And our shoes and trousers are always dirty on rainy days. B: So get up early in the morning and don’t run on your way to school. Then your shoes and trousers will not be dirty. A: OK. But Mum, I have nothing to do now. B: That’s good! You can help me with the housework. Oh, I like rain so much! 6．W ... ...
