The government in Tibet has denied the permanent (永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.

    The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was "permanently closed due to heavy pollution" and caused a universal misunderstanding.

    Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33,819 square kilometers, it is home to one of the world's weakest ecosystems (生态系统).

    Kelsang, the deputy director of the Reserve Administration, said ordinary tourists were allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.

    To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major cleanups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims (受害者) above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.

    Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.

"These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education," said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.

【回答】

1-4 ABDD

解析：1.词义猜测题.根据后文 caused a universal misunderstanding 可推知,一篇声称珠峰景区因污染严重而永久关闭的报道在网上疯传,引起了普遍的误解,由此可知,画线词词义为"疯传",故A项正确.

2.推理判断题.根据第四段中的 As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department. 可知有登山许可*的游客,可参观海拔5,200米的大本营,登山活动已得到林业部门的批准,由此可知,去大本营的游客必须有登山许可*,故B项正确.

3.细节理解题.根据第五段中的 To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring…可知,为了保护珠峰周边的环境,去年春天,**在海拔5,200米以上的地方进行了三次大清理,故D项正确.

4.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段中的 there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage. 可知,保护区里有85名野生动物保护者,有1,000名牧民做清理垃圾的兼职工作,共有1085个人参与了清理工作,故D项正确.
