Climbing blindly
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. 【1】 Asia is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. Mount Everest’s peak(山峰) is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high!
Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest. 【2】 Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Everest’s top.
One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches(雪崩). 【3】 After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Everest.
At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. 【4】 By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left.
【5】 He struggled through 100 m.p.h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erik climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.
A.This mountain is located in Asia.
B.During his climb, Erik faced many dangers.
C.Everest is believed to be more than 60 million years old.
D.His team wore bells that he could follow during his climb.

试题分析:本文介绍了著名的盲人登山者Erik Weihenmayer,他排除万难登上了世界最高峰Mount Everest。
【1】A 横线前句Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.告诉我们Mount Everest是世界上最高的山峰,横线后一句Asia is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. 亚洲是世界上最高的五处山峰所在地。A项This mountain is located in Asia.可以把这两句联系在一起。
【2】G 横线前面一句Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest.很多人都努力攀登Mount Everest山峰,G项介绍最早登上这座山峰的人是Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.与上下文一致。
【3】F 根据横线后一句After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16.可知Erik登山的最让人难以相信的是他是一位盲人。故F项符合上下文串联。
【4】D 横线前句告诉我们他是跟随着一群队友一起登山的,横线后面一句介绍使用这一方法,他的队友可以提醒他在登山的过程中可能会遇见的危险。所以D项符合上下文串联。
【5】B 根据后句He struggled through 100 m.p.h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock.可知在他登山的过程中遇见了很大的困难和危险,对于盲人来说这更是危险。故B正确。

No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs.【4】Don’t argue with them and just obey them.Realize a high school is not the real world.
