【解析】

【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了人们对山的看法和登山运动的兴起。

【1】这是一个强调句，强调句的结构为＂It was...that...＂。所以本题选C项。

【2】句意：只是在18世纪欧洲人才开始认为山是美丽的。根据句意和所给的选项可知应该选择D项think(认为，考虑)。

【3】在那以前，居住在平原上的人们惧怕山。before＂以前＂符合语境。

【4】people与live之间为主动关系，所以要用现在分词作后置定语，相当于定语从句who lived...。

【5】用＂介词＋关系代词＂形式引导非限制性定语从句，修饰the city people，意思是＂对城市人来说＂，故应该用to whom。

【6】 由空前的feared和wild可知，这里指对于城里人来说山是危险的。dangerous＂危险的＂，符合语境。

【7】where在此引导定语从句修饰places，且在从句中作地点状语。

【8】由上文可知，山是危险的地方，人在山里很容易迷路或被可怕的动物杀死。故选A。

【9】 慢慢地，＂许多人＂的思想发生了改变。由语境可知选A。

【10】这里指当时居住在城市里的人，who在此引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语。

【11】be tired of＂厌倦……＂，这里用系动词grow代替be，含有＂逐渐增加厌倦感＂的意思。故选D。

【12】be interested in...＂对……感兴趣＂，可以用feel代替系动词be。

【13】他们的注意力从人造的城镇转移到了未被破坏的农村。untouched＂保持原样的；未受破坏的＂，符合语境。

【14】which在此引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，代指places，为复数含义，其后的谓语动词要用复数。

【15】因此人们度假时流行去高山峻岭。popular＂流行的＂，符合语境。

【16】爬山作为一种体育运动开始逐渐受欢迎起来。由语境可知选B。

【17】pleasant＂令人愉快的＂，这里作后置定语修饰something。pleased为形容词，说明人的感觉，不用来修饰物；pleasure是名词；unpleasant词义与语境不符。

【18】由语境可知，这里指＂爬到山顶＂，故选A。

【19】battle常与against连用，表示＂与……战斗＂，故选D。

【20】此处要用形容词修饰reward，B项satisfied＂满意的＂说明人的感觉，不修饰物；A项＂失望的＂，D项＂令人失望的＂，与语境不符。故选C。
