答案:
(答案→)D
解析:文章介绍Walter Bonatti尝试从前人认为不可能攀登的北路登山,虽然艰辛,但是他凭借自己的毅力还是达到了山顶。
【小题1】考查副词:A. back向后,B.forward向前,C.down向下,D.up 向上,the mountain top应在平地上的村民们的上方,故用up。选D
【小题2】考查名词:A. flowers花,B.ice and snow冰雪,C.green trees 绿树,D.leaves树叶,从下文可以知道,很少有登攀者登临山顶,可见山峰很高,已不可能有花草树木;如若仅是rocks也并不beautiful,故应为 ice and snow,在阳光下闪闪发光,既美丽又危险。选B
【小题3】考查动词:A. watched观看,B.passed通过,C.reached到达,D.climbed爬,登攀者曾使用南山坡的路线到达山顶。选C
【小题4】考查副词:A. even甚至,B.never从不,C.seldom很少,D.ever曾经,没有人曾经爬山走北路,选D
【小题5】考查形容词:A. different不同的, B. unique独特的,C.same同样的,D.easy容易的, 前两句讲到前人爬山都走南路,而不爬北路,就是因为其更为艰难险阻,另外15空后面一句讲到the climb was painful,可见 A项比 B项更恰当。A
【小题6】考查副词:A. patiently耐心的,B.carefully仔细地,C.anxiously焦虑地,D.eagerly含有心情迫切的意思,而anxiously含有焦虑、着急的意思。由于爬山的路线危险重重,所以人们很担心。选C
【小题7】考查名词;A. face面容,B.figure数字,C.flag旗子,D.signal信号,从下文的“light a green signal”出可得出答案。选D
【小题8】考查动词:A. slide滑,B.continue继续,C.rest休息,D.stop停止,从下文的a green light和Bonatti was not giving up判断,绿色的信号表示他要继续爬。选B
【小题9】考查词组:A. turning back回来,B.moving up向上,C.staying away离开,缺席,躲开D.keeping on保持,这两题的选择需联系到下一小节的内容。点亮绿色信号则继续爬山,红色信号则下山回来。选A
【小题10】考查动词:A. existed存在,B.appeared出现,C.turned转身,D.traveled旅游,绿色的信号“出现”在山腰。注意此题不能选A项,因为从上下文内容看他不是发射信号弹。选B
【小题11】考查动词:A.cheered欢呼,B.laughed笑,C.whispered低语,D.sighed叹气,绿灯亮了,Bonatti将继续爬山,山下的人们为之欢欣鼓舞。选A
【小题12】考查形容词:A. determined决定,B.excited兴奋,C.tired累了,D.happy快乐,Bonatti一直在爬山,所以很“累”。选C
【小题13】考查形容词:A. yellow黄色的,B.blue蓝色C.green绿色,D.red红色,本句开头用again,再根据前面的“he would light a green signal”可知,此处为green。选C
【小题14】考查动词:A. woke up醒来,B.turned up出现,C.got up起床,D.looked up抬头看,后面一句为could not see the top,所以此处指抬头看。选D
【小题15】考查副词:A. already已经,B.almost几乎,C.hardly几乎不,D.surely确定,注意but一词表示转折,虽看不到山顶,但他知道已接近了。选B
【小题16】考查动词:A. training训练,B.applying利用,C.planning 计划,D.asking问,根据下文的“Was the training enough ”可知,此处应为training。选A
【小题17】考查名词:A. idea主意,B.skill技巧,C.money钱,D.wish希望,注意前两句中的training。训练是解决技巧问题而不是勇气问题。选B
【小题18】考查名词:A. victory胜利,B.return回来,C.climb爬,D.courage勇气,他现在已到顶了,登攀成功了,故电台报道他成功的喜讯。若用C项则不知成功与否。选A
【小题19】考查副词:A. ahead前面,B.up向上,C.down向下,D.to到,到达了山顶,然后要下山,所以此处用down。选C
【小题20】考查形容词:A. necessary必要的,B.important重要的,C.attractive有吸引力的,D.impossible不可能的,这个词上加了引号,表示前人认为“不可能的事情”。选D
