Question

【题目】 Some people say life is like crossing a river; 【1】

I think our life is much like climbing a mountain. Each year we have a new mountain to climb. To reach our goals, we work hard to make progress day after day. 【2】 We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy.

【解析】

这篇短文主要是作者对生命的诠释。文章讲述生命就像爬山，为了达到目的，我们每天努力进步。跌倒了站起来，继续前行；今年达到目的，明年从零开始，一步一个脚印，朝着正确的方向努力。

【1】

句意：有人说人生就像爬山。

根据前面的句子结构以及后句I think our life is much like climbing a mountain.可知，这里应该是说“有人认为人生就像爬山”，与前一句形成对比，综合所给的选项可知，E选项符合，故选E。

【2】

句意：我们有一个选择。

根据句意理解及后句We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy.可知，这里是两种不同的态度，所以这里应该是说“有一个选择”，综合所给的选项可知，A选项比较符合，故选A。

【3】

句意：我们可以停下来抱怨我们失去的进步。

根据句意理解及前句Here we also have another choice.以及后句we can stand on our feet and begin climbing that mountain again.可知，这里说的是不好的方面，与空格后面的内容形成鲜明的对比，后面说的是“站起来继续”，所以前面应该是说“停止不前”，综合所给的选项可知，F选项比较合适，故选F。

【4】

句意：相反，我们应该向前看。

根据前句We shouldn’t spend the rest of our lives looking at where we used to be.可知，后面应该是表达“我们要……”，与前面的内容相反，综合所给的选项，C选项符合，故选C。

【5】

句意：这不是问题所在。

根据后句The question is, “Can I take the next step in the right direction?”可知，这里应该是一个过渡句，说的是上面说的都不是问题，综合所给的选项，B选项符合，故选B。
