But that couldnt make him lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest. From the top of the worlds highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldnt hear him clearly on the phone.

It started from the Tang dynasty. Its content touches every aspect (方面) of Tibetan history, politics, culture, social life and so on. Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan culture and peoples lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the publics attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.Most of the Thang-ga paintings handed down from ancient times were created by Tibetan Buddhism (佛教). They are bung in the hall for worship (崇拜). The colour of Thang-ga paintings looks wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, the paints used in Thang-ga are different from other paints. Thang-ga painters traditionally divide paints into nine categories: soil, stone, water, fire, wood, grass, flower, bone and gemstone (宝石). These natural paints can also be categorized into seven colours as white, yellow, red, blue, green, black and purple.In the past, Thang-ga was made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand. It usually took a long period to finish a Thang-ga painting, from half a year to more than a decade, that is, 10 years. Though the work was hard and needed patience, the beautiful colours could last for hundreds of years.However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.（1）From Thang-ga, we can see Tibetan _.history culture social life politics building stylesA . B . C .

Thang-ga is a special and unusual kind of art.B . Thang-ga was found only in the Tang dynasty.C . The Thang-ga paintings are hung in the hall for worship.D . The Thang-ga paints were made by hand in the past.（4）Why are the traditional Thang-ga paintings difficult to find now? A . Because their paints couldnt last for long.B . Because the government doesnt allow to make them.C . Because the skills needed to make them were almost lost.D . Because the technology is not good enough to make them.3. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the Sol-4. It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. The Sol-4 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much friendlier than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $ 2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.（1）This passage is mainly about .A . solar cookersB . smoke pollutionC . solar power expertsD . breathing illnesses（2）The Sol-4 is mainly used to .A . shorten the time of cookingB . reduce the cost of making cookersC . raise money through donations to help African peopleD . reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke（3）The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “ ”A . cookersB . mirrorsC . peopleD . experts（4）Which of the following about the Sol-4 is TRUE?A . It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B . It can work in any weather condition now.C . It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D . It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.（5）From the passage, we can infer that .A . the Sol-4 will be designed in a smaller sizeB . more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC . the Sol-4 is the first product of the South African companyD . the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers4. （25分）阅读下面短文，简要回答下列问题。 In Western countries, most children get pocket money by doing some chores at home.
