He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing

Aron Ralston is an American man who is【1】(interest) in mountain climbing. As a mountain 【2】(climb), Aron is used to【3】(take) risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents.【4】 April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.

On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-Kilo rock【5】fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He wasn’t ready【6】(die)that day. So he used his knife to cut【7】half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged【8】(he) so that he wouldn’t lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you can’t seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the【9】(important)of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述登山爱好者阿伦罗斯顿在一次登山中发生了意外，他失去了胳膊。在失去胳膊后，他写了一本书叫做《进退两难》，这本书中他讲述了做出正确的选择的重要性以及控制自己的生活的重要性。他对登山是如此地热爱，以至于他后来继续爬山。

【1】句意“阿伦罗斯顿是一个对爬山感兴趣的一个美国人”。

根据句意可知，译为“对爬山感兴趣”。be interested in对……感兴趣，故填interested。

【2】句意“作为一个登山者，阿伦习惯于冒险”。

根据句意可知，译为“登山者”。climber登山者，故填climber。

【3】句意“作为一个登山者，阿伦习惯于冒险”。

be used to doing“习惯于做某事”，所以空处用doing形式，故填taking。

【4】句意“在2003年4月6日，当他在犹他爬山时，他发现他自己处于一个非常危险的处境”。

根据空后April 26, 2003“2003年4月26日”，表示具体的某一天，用on，且空位于句首，故填On。

【5】句意“一天，当他独自在山上爬山时，阿伦的胳膊被一个落到他的身上的360公斤重的岩石压住了”。

根据句意可知，空处引导定语从句。先行词为a 360-kilo rock，指物，在从句中作主语，用that，故填that。

【6】句意“那天他不想死”。

根据be ready to do“准备做某事，想要做某事”可知，用to do，故填to die。

【7】句意“所以他用刀切断他的一般右胳膊”。

根据句意可知，他的胳膊被压在岩石下，所以他要切断胳膊。cut off切断，故填off。

【8】句意“然后，他用他的左胳膊为他自己包扎目的是他不会失去太多的血”。

根据句意可知，译为“给自己包扎”，且主语he与宾语表示同一个人，用反身代词，故填himself。

【9】句意“在这本书中，阿伦讲述了做好的决定的重要性”。

根据空前the以及空后of可知，空处用名词。importance重要性，故填importance。

【10】句意“在我们发现自己处于进退两难的境地之前，在我们不得不做出生死攸关的决定之前，让我们想一想”。

根据or前的life可知，空处应该用名词，译为“死亡”。death死亡，故填death。
