Ⅳ. 任务型阅读(15分)
Chogori(乔戈里峰)stands on the Chinese-Pakistan border. Chogori is from the Tajik language, it means “high, great and magnificent”. Internationally, it is better known as K2. Chogori is about 8, 611 meters high, and it is the second highest mountain in the world.
And Chogori is not Qomolangma. On the one hand, Chogori is a steeper(更陡峭的)and more dangerous peak. In fact, it is the most difficult peak to reach in the world. The first two people to reach the top of Chogori—Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni from Italy—did it in 1954. In 1986, the first woman did it too. Since 1954, only 281 people have reached the top, and 49 others have been killed(However, Qomolangma has been reached 3, 000 times and only 15 climbers lost their lives). Of all the over 8, 000-meter-high peaks, it has the highest death rate.
On the other hand, this great peak is for professional climbers only. Here, no commercial(商业的)climbing organization will provide you any services, and even top-class climbers will choose their climbing partners with a particularly eagle(鹰)eye. The leader of a Japanese K2 team said when organizing his team in 1982, “We are professional climbers, and all know that if we run into trouble at a height of 8, 000 meters on K2, it is impossible to get help. If you do not have the confidence and determination(决心)to face possible trouble, you should not go! ”
This is Chogori! In the eyes of the top-class climbers, it is the most beautiful peak, and it is the danger that attracts them.
