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.

E.Erik used long climbing poles to feel his way on the mountain.

F.However, what really made Erik’s climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind.

G.The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】G

【3】F

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

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。

【题目】An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).

While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape.

The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older.

Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.

Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.

The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ‘likes’ and ‘interests’ they had posted on their profiles.

It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.

Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.

Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38.

And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for anyone is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they reach 60.

Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.

“People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”

1When do women love books best?

A. At the age of 22. B. At the age of 50.

C. At the age of 30. D. At the age of 15.

2Men tend to ______ once they are 45.

A. gain more and more weight

B. be less interested in their jobs

C. do more exercise

D. pay more attention to their appearance

3What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?

A. Getting in shape.

B. Going to the cinema.

C. Popular style of clothing.

D. Food and drink.

4What does Stephen Wolfram think about the result of the research?

A. People’s interests are different from each other.

B. People’s interests change greatly with age.

C. It is normal for people to change their interests.

D. It is not good for people to change their interests.

【题目】One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人). I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计). ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”

The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula(公式)to calculate the height of the building.”

At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,

Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.

The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

【1】The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.

A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him

B. his answer wasn't complete or correct

C. the teacher didn't fully understand his answer

D. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics

【2】We know from the passage that _____.

A. the student knew the expected answer

B. the administrator told Bohr the height

C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer

D. the teacher was a very stubborn person

【3】We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. instructors can teach students how to think

B. arbiters can help students to get high scores

C. students should be given more freedom in thinking

D. teachers should make students use physical formulas

【4】What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?

A. Optimistic B. Critical C. Approving D. Neutral
