The Himalayas are mountains that are located in South Asia. They are a part of Nepal, India, Pakistan, China and Bhutan. The mountains are the highest in the world, reaching almost 9,000 meters sea level. The Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the inner part of Asia. The word Himalaya means “ home of snow”.

14 mountains are over 8,000 meters high, among them the K2, Nanga Parbat and Mount Everest, at 8,848 meters, the world’s highest mountain. The Himalayas extend over 1,500 miles( 2,400km ) from the Indus valley in the west to the Brahmaputra Valley in the east.

Many of the mountain peaks are sacred to the people who live in the surrounding areas . Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims go there and pray to God.

The Himalayas belong to the youngest mountain ranges in the world. They were formed when the Indian subcontinent, which was originally a part of the southern landmass, drifted to the north and crashed into Asia. This movement started about 70 million years ago and has been going on up to the present day. The Himalayas are still becoming taller, moving at about 7 cm per year. Earthquakes and volcanoes are evidences that the area is still very active.

Glaciers and permanent snow fields cover the higher regions of the Himalayas. They are the source of streams that flow into the two big rivers of the region. The Indus flows to the west and through Pakistan into the Arabia Sea. The Ganges and Brahmaputra flow to the east and get together in Bangladesh. They form the largest delta in the world.

1. How many countries do the Himalayas belong to?

A. 7 B. 6 C. 4 D. 5

2.Why do Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims go to Himalayas and pray to God?

A. Because they live in the surrounding areas.

B. Because they believe the mountain peaks are sacred.

C. Because the word Himalaya means “ home of snow”.

D. Because the Himalayas are the youngest mountain ranges in the world.

3. What does the author stress in Paragraph 4?

A. The process where the Himalayas were formed.

B. Earthquakes and volcanoes in the Himalayas.

C. The forming of the Indian subcontinent.

D. The landscape features of the Himalayas.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

Several hundred strangers received “l(fā)ove letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China's “ant tribe (蟻族)”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard?working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle－only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian's another book published this year, Ant Tribe Ⅱ， found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities－almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets.”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.

However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.

A．a(chǎn)nalyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs

B．lead to the topic of the article－“ant tribe”

C．tell readers a story about those big cities

D．show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2.“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________.

A．they live in narrow and small places in groups

B．they work hard but earn little for survival

C．they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D．they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

3.By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show________.

A．despite better education，“ants” are still struggling

B．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising future

C．better education, better job opportunities

D．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China
