试题分析:文章介绍Walter Bonatti尝试从前人认为不可能攀登的北路登山,虽然艰辛,但是他凭借自己的毅力还是达到了山顶。
小题1:考查副词:A. back向后,B.forward向前,C.down向下,D.up 向上,the mountain top应在平地上的村民们的上方,故用up。选D
小题2:考查名词:A. flowers花,B.ice and snow冰雪,C.green trees 绿树,D.leaves树叶,从下文可以知道,很少有登攀者登临山顶,可见山峰很高,已不可能有花草树木;如若仅是rocks也并不beautiful,故应为 ice and snow,在阳光下闪闪发光,既美丽又危险。选B
小题3:考查动词:A. watched观看,B.passed通过,C.reached到达,D.climbed爬,登攀者曾使用南山坡的路线到达山顶。选C
小题4:考查副词:A. even甚至,B.never从不,C.seldom很少,D.ever曾经,没有人曾经爬山走北路,选D
小题5:考查形容词:A. different不同的, B. unique独特的,C.same同样的,D.easy容易的, 前两句讲到前人爬山都走南路,而不爬北路,就是因为其更为艰难险阻,另外15空后面一句讲到the climb was painful,可见 A项比 B项更恰当。A
小题6:考查副词:A. patiently耐心的,B.carefully仔细地,C.anxiously焦虑地,D.eagerly含有心情迫切的意思,而anxiously含有焦虑、着急的意思。由于爬山的路线危险重重,所以人们很担心。选C
小题7:考查名词;A. face面容,B.figure数字,C.flag旗子,D.signal信号,从下文的“light a green signal”出可得出答案。选D
小题8:考查动词:A. slide滑,B.continue继续,C.rest休息,D.stop停止,从下文的a green light和Bonatti was not giving up判断,绿色的信号表示他要继续爬。选B
小题9:考查词组:A. turning back回来,B.moving up向上,C.staying away离开,缺席,躲开D.keeping on保持,这两题的选择需联系到下一小节的内容。点亮绿色信号则继续爬山,红色信号则下山回来。选A
小题10:考查动词:A. existed存在,B.appeared出现,C.turned转身,D.traveled旅游,绿色的信号“出现”在山腰。注意此题不能选A项,因为从上下文内容看他不是发射信号弹。选B
小题11:考查动词:A.cheered欢呼,B.laughed笑,C.whispered低语,D.sighed叹气,绿灯亮了,Bonatti将继续爬山,山下的人们为之欢欣鼓舞。选A
小题12:考查形容词:A. determined决定,B.excited兴奋,C.tired累了,D.happy快乐,Bonatti一直在爬山,所以很“累”。选C
小题13:考查形容词:A. yellow黄色的,B.blue蓝色C.green绿色,D.red红色,本句开头用again,再根据前面的“he would light a green signal”可知,此处为green。选C
小题14:考查动词:A. woke up醒来,B.turned up出现,C.got up起床,D.looked up抬头看,后面一句为could not see the top,所以此处指抬头看。选D
小题15:考查副词:A. already已经,B.almost几乎,C.hardly几乎不,D.surely确定,注意but一词表示转折,虽看不到山顶,但他知道已接近了。选B
小题16:考查动词:A. training训练,B.applying利用,C.planning 计划,D.asking问,根据下文的“Was the training enough ”可知,此处应为training。选A
小题17:考查名词:A. idea主意,B.skill技巧,C.money钱,D.wish希望,注意前两句中的training。训练是解决技巧问题而不是勇气问题。选B
小题18:考查名词:A. victory胜利,B.return回来,C.climb爬,D.courage勇气,他现在已到顶了,登攀成功了,故电台报道他成功的喜讯。若用C项则不知成功与否。 选A
小题19:考查副词:A. ahead前面,B.up向上,C.down向下,D.to到,到达了山顶,然后要下山,所以此处用down。选C
小题20:考查形容词:A. necessary必要的,B.important重要的,C.attractive有吸引力的,D.impossible不可能的,这个词上加了引号,表示前人认为“不可能的事情”。选D

That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners...
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff: sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn't seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
However,little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So,one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him...
It was the new teacher!
The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.

A.learn about where he livedB.find out if he felt upset
C.say something to comfort himD.make friends with him
小题4:What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write, ”I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coat Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no hope at all.What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
After a year or so.However, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write,l had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadow land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to         
A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to seek wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to be a writer over a long period of time
小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B.A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C.Famous writers usually live in poverty.
D.The chances for a writer to become successful are little.

B.He hadn't seen a change for the better.
C.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.

Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother’s tummy, she had an accident, which meant that Charlie couldn’t walk. But that had never been a(n)          for him; they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and           nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
There wasn’t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn’t            to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way you’ll         more letters today!” he would say, or “That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You        that thing better than anyone else. ”
He also had great ideas and            for everything; and he shared them so generously that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or             something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.
One day, though, he came up against a real            . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some               to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets… my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be                , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks,           trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone             a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed       on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and although Waterworks was just about to cry,   he          Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask(小丑面具) you just put on!”
On saying those words, Waterworks felt so          that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the funny side of everything.
