16、the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the worlds 14 highest mountains.His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26545 feet, its peek is the 10th highest in the world. It s the mountain that inspired him to start clim

17、bing.“It trends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “There is no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches(雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog s story

18、 was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.Viesturs got his start on Washington s Mount Rainier in 1997, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to climb the world s highest peaks. Finally, hes done.The pioneering climber talks

19、about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we are here at the right time, under the right

20、circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”What s next for a man who can t stop climbing? “Im going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer, ” says Viesturs. But for a man who s climbed the worlds 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off o

25、 very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Attached to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”Bidding（申办）for the expo shows that China is more con

26、fident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It is competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.The World Expo is known as the “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and la

27、sts for six months.The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered the three top international events in the world.China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event s 151year history.Not only will it attract more foreign investment ( 投资 ) to China, but experts say that the

It s definitely a rodent（啮齿目动物），and it s also a brand new family of mammals.The locals of the Southeast Asian country of Laos call the creature a kha nyou (ga - nyou). The kha nyou has long body hair, s

31、hort legs, and a hairy tail less thick than a squirrel s. They are vegetarians living in the rocky hills of Laos, and they come out at night, but for more information, you ll have to ask the Lao people.“It was for sale on a table next to some vegetables. I knew immediately it was something I had nev

32、er seen before, ” said Robert, a researcher for the Wildlife Conversation Society. He was working in a Laos to stop people from selling endangered animals when he spotted the species. Criminals who trade illegal wildlife can make a lot of money, but they also push the animals closer to disappearing

33、from the planet.The kha nyou lives in karsts, or rough rock. Mark Robinson, a scientist with the World Wildlife Foundation, set out with Lao villagers to find a few more of the rodents for study. They climbed onto a karst, trapped with rice, and caught several.“To find something so unusual in this d

34、ay and age is just extraordinary,” said Robert. “For all we know, this could be the last remaining animal family left to be discovered.”Its a big deal to discover an entirely new family of animals. Humans, for instance, belong to the same family as great apes, chimpanzees, and gorillas. So even thou

The last time scientists discovered a new family of mammals may have been in the 1970s, when they found new bats in Thailand.Robert seems to have the gift for finding new animals in Laos he discovered a new species of rabbit there in 1999.Scien

36、tists call the kha nyou Laonastes aenigmamus, which means “mysterious mouse that lives among the stones.” But if it s too hard, Robert and Robinson suggest you call them “rock rats”.48Which of the following is not the name for this new creature?AKarsts.BKha nyou.CRock rats.DLaonastes aenigmamus.49Wh
