If you don't know Russian and don't have much experience in tourism, you'd better find friends who understand Russian to go there with you, because the metro in Moscow is really complicated( 复杂), and there are not always English signs to show you where to go.Moscow’s metro is not only spectacular, but also very deep. Because Moscow’s metro is not only a means of transportation, but also taking the responsibility((责任) of underground air defense(空防) shelters during the war.Each station is designed by famous artists in Russia, each with its own special style. And each station has its own theme. Some have many murals( 壁画)that show the important events in Russian history.61. Why was the metro built in 1935?A. To attract touristsB.

But when he succeeded a few days ago，he was surprised by what he saw.Climbers were pushing and moving to take selfies(自拍). The summit(顶峰)，which is about the size of two ping-pong tables, was filled with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, chest to chest, on an icy mountain.He even had to walk across the body of a woman who had just died.“It was very terrible, "he said by telephone from Nepal, where he was resting in a hotel room. " It was like a zoo.”This has been one of the most dangerous climbing seasons on Mount Qomolangma, with at least 10 deaths. And some seem to be avoidable. Climbers themselves are often so driven to finish their goal that they may keep going even if they see the dangers.Sometimes these trips go very wrong.From interviews with several climbers, it seems that as the groups get closer to the summit, the pressure increases.“A lot of people could only worry about themselves and nobody thinks about those who are in danger, "Ms Deryan said.“It is a question of ethics(道德)," she added.“You find out that if you help, you are going to die.”(Answer each question with no more than six words.)71.What had Ed Dohring dreamed of in his whole life?71.What is the size of the summit?73. How did he feel after walking across a dead woman?74. Why do climbers keep going even if they see the dangers?75 .For climbers, what will happen if they help?六、任务型阅读（根据短文内容，完成下面的表格，每格填一词。
