题目内容

【题目】 July 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning he got out of his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing in Lane Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.

Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong and he tried to repair it. Then, to make things worse, his attempts(尝试)to start the car drained(耗尽) the battery and left it useless. After Johnson had waited for an hour in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, Johnson Williams, stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car away and repair it.

Johnson left the keys in his car and sat under the large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was sleeping ,a repair truck arrived from San Pedro(the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.

Johnson looked like an wanted man in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained(拘留)him at San Pedro for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and made the police believe that Johnson was a harmless salesman, so they set him free(释放).

【题目】 It's 4:54 a. m. on a November morning in 2016 in Yosemite National Park, the United States. The moon shone over the south-west face of El Capitan. Alex Honnold was alone. He held on tightly to the rock with nothing but the tips of his fingers and two thin edges of shoe rubber. He was trying to do something that had been considered impossible-a "free solo" (徒手攀岩) up the world's most dangerous cliff.

Some people think free soloing is a meaningless sport. The sport, they say, has claimed the lives of many professional climbers. Others think mastering a mountain with only excellent physical and mental skill is the essence of climbing. Such was the attitude of Paul Preuss. Preuss was the father of free soloing. By the age of 27, he had made about 150 ropeless climbs He was admired (钦佩) throughout Europe. Then, on October 3,1913, he fell to his death while free soloing a cliff in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山).

But Preuss's ideas lived on. They have influenced generations of climbers. In the 1960s, the "free climbing" movement was born. The movement supports using ropes and other gears (设备) but only as safety devices. The next serious free soloist appeared in 1973. Henry Barber climbed a 460-meter-tall rock in Yosemite without a rope. In 1987, Peter Croft, a Canadian, free soloed two of Yosemite's most dangerous routes in one day.

Croft's achievement stood until 2007. That year, 22-year-old Honnold showed up in Yosemite. He surprised the world by repeating Croft's masterpiece. The next year, he free soloed two famously difficult routes in America. The routes were so dangerous that no one had imagined they could be climbed without a rope.

Now, as fans celebrate his achievements, Honnold is preparing for his next big goal. Thousands of moves are still to come. Honnold is on his way to completing the greatest rock climb in history.

1How many ropeless climbs had Paul Preuss made by the age of 27? _______.

2On October 3,1931, Preuss _______.

3The "free climbing" movement was born _______.

4Alex Honnold repeated Peter Croft's masterpiece _______.

5Now, Honoold is on his way to _______.
