沃尔特·博纳提，一个来自意大利的伟大的登山者，不畏艰难，成功地登上了马特宏峰顶部的成功故事。

【1】句意：登山者通过南线到达了山顶。

reached到达；watched观看；followed跟随。分析“Mountain climbers had_________1_________the top through the southern route(路线). But no one could try a winter climbing up the northern side.”可知，此处表示“有登山者通过南线到达了山顶，但是没有人敢尝试北线”，此处强调“到达”。故选A。

【2】句意：但现在有一个人敢于尝试这条路线。

trying动名词；to try动词不定式；try动词原形。分析“But now one man was daring_________2_________the route.”可知，此处构成“dare to do sth”结构，dare作为行为动词使用，其后加动词不定式形式。故选B。

【3】句意：他就是沃尔特·博纳提，一个来自意大利的伟大的登山者。

with和……一起；from来自；in在……里。分析“He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber _________3_________Italy.”可知，此处表示“一个来自意大利的伟大的登山者”，强调“来自”。故选B。

【4】句意：如果他打算第二天继续，他会亮一个绿色的信号灯。

turn back返回；come down下来；go on继续。分析“If he planned to________4________ the next day, he would light a green signal. A red light would mean that he was turning back.”可知，此处表示“如果他打算第二天继续，他会亮一个绿色的信号灯。红色的信号灯意味着他将返回”，此处与turning back是相反的意思，表示“继续”。故选C。

【5】句意：一道微弱的绿光出现在山坡上。

placed放置；found发现；appeared出现。分析“A tiny green light _________5_________ on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up!”可知，此处表示“一道微弱的绿光出现在山坡上”的含义，强调“出现”。故选C。

【6】句意：人们欢呼了。

cried哭；jumped跳；cheered欢呼。根据前句“Bonatti was not giving up!”可知，人们因为他没有放弃感到振奋，所以此处表示“欢呼”的含义。故选C。

【7】句意：他是那么孤独，那么疲惫！

excited激动的；moved感动的；tired疲惫的。分析“He was so lonely and so _________7_________! But he would not give up.”可知，他既孤独又疲惫，但是仍然没有放弃，此处与lonely构成并列结构，强调他的状态不好。故选C。

【8】句意：虽然攀登很痛苦，他还是爬了上去。

Though虽然；So所以；However然而。分析“He could not see the top._________8_________the climb was painful, he moved up.”可知，此处表示“虽然攀登很痛苦，他还是爬了上去”的含义，两句话构成转折关系，此处表示“虽然”。故选A。

【9】句意：博纳蒂花了几个月的时间来准备这次攀登。

to prepare动词不定式；preparing动名词；prepared动词过去式/过去分词。分析“Bonatti had spent months _________9_________for the climb.”可知，此处构成“spend+时间+doing sth”结构，使用动名词作宾语。故选B。

【10】句意：他成功的消息用无线电向全世界广播。

success成功；life生活；idea想法。根据“He was finally at the top!”可知，他最终成功登顶，所以此处表示“他成功的消息用无线电向全世界广播”的含义，强调“成功”。故选A。

本文主要讲的是沃尔特·博纳提，一个来自意大利的伟大的登山者，不畏艰难，成功地登上了马特宏峰顶部的成功故事。短文主题明确，内容贴近时事，比较容易理解。题型是完形填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文意；然后根据上下文语境做题，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文，再读一遍，检查答案是否正确。例如第4小题，考查的是动词短语辨析，此处与后文turning back是相反的意思，所以此处表示“继续”。故选C。再如第9小题，考查的是动名词作宾语，分析句子可知，此处构成“spend+时间+doing sth”结构，所以使用动名词形式作宾语。故选B。
