中考英语阅读表达 阅读回答问题 一、 A Rubbish Collector’s Work Is Never Done Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would run to the back of buildings, then pull heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained. Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong dream: to climb Mount Oomolangma. On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma. Brian first climbed to a basecamp (大本营). He planned to bring three oxygen containers (氧 气罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive (存活) without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four — the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees. “Rubbish!” he cried. Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile (堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination (决心) he continued to follow his dream. Two days later he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world!” Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and walked down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done. 1．What was Brian Kane? ________________________________________________________________________ 2 ．What was Brian’s lifelong dream? ________________________________________________________________________ 3 ．What did Brian plan to bring to the top of Mount Qomolangma? ____________________________________________________________
