7 . A high-altitude rescue team has set new standards in the Himalayas this season, performing the highest altitude rescue ever completed. On May 19th, a rescue team successfully got a mountaineer from near Camp 3 at 23,000 feet on Everest (珠穆朗玛峰). The climber named Gautam nearly reached the top but became extremely exhausted and seriously dehydrated (脱水的).

After a difficult and dangerous rescue，the team was able to successfully save Gautam’s life.

In an interview with Moro, the pilot of the rescue team, he said, "You have to be prepared, technically, physically,and also mentally (心理上).” He added, “The aim wasn’t to set a record but to save someone’s life. ”

The team has flown rescue tasks using Nepalese helicopters (直升飞机) for two years but had the idea to create a team with its own helicopter, which has been able to complete this season. The entire operation is privately financed，and according to Moro, “doesn’t cost the Italian or Nepalese tax-payer a single cent.” Moro also flies tasks for the local population for “free or at extremely reduced prices”.

Moro sees potential (潜力) for the increasing number of high altitude Himalayan rescue operations. In the future, he hopes to see more than one team , as well as a specialised team of climbers that would be able to perform rescues at altitudes and in weather condition that are impossible for helicopters.

8 . Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

9 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Thirteen miners have been rescued after     1     (trap) for over 80 hours in a mine in China’s Sichuan province, local authorities said Wednesday. Rescue     2     (start) after a water inrush accident that happened at 3:26 pm on Saturday(Dec.14, 2019) in Shanmushu mine in Yibin. As of Tuesday, five people were killed and 13 remained     3     (miss). At 3:00 am Wednesday, a trapped miner walked out of the tunnel (巷道)sector that is about 313     4     (meter) underground. He reported that his 12 colleagues were safe. At 5:55 am, two other miners were rescued.

All the miners were lifted out of the mine     5     7:56 am Wednesday. “It’s a miracle of life,” said Duan Yijun, head of emergency management department,     6     closely watched the situation at the site. Experts said the accident site was about 10 km away from the mine     7     (enter). The water in the tunnel was waist-deep in some areas, and it was extremely difficult     8     (walk) with heavy equipment.

Rescuers were     9    (final) able to confirm the trapped miners were alive after tapping on a steel pipe in the tunnel and receiving responses from     10     other end.

10 . Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle(把手) and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle(阻碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.

The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic. Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch(门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body and look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.

''It's just what Dutch people do,'' said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. ''All the Dutch are taught it. It's part of regular driver education.''

The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn't really become known as the Dutch reach until American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Charney's efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals(手册).

1. What is the first paragraph intended to show?

A．The poor design of the car door and handle.

B．A common conflict between cars and bicycles.

C．A main cause of traffic accidents related to cyclists.

D．Possible risks connected with opening the car door.

2. What does the underlined word ''instinctual'' in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Difficult	B．Possible
C．Natural	D．Dangerous

3. How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents?

A．By making the person open the car door more easily.

B．By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.

C．By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.

D．By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.

4. What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America?

A．Its popularity among Dutch people.

B．Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.

C．A project started in the year 2016.

D．The death caused by a traffic accident.
