4.Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford,Illinois,where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower.But on Thursday,Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas.At 26,545feet,its peak is the 10th highest in the world.It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest,the most dangerous,"said Viesturs."There's no simple way to climb it.There are threatening avalanches and ice falls that protect the mountain.
In high school,Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna.Herzog's story was of frostbite and difficulty and near-death experiences.Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977,guiding hikes in the summer.Fifteen years ago,he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks.Finally,he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect."You have to use all of your senses,all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,"said Viesturs."If we have the patience and the respect,and if we're here at the right time,under the right circumstances,they allow us to go up,and allow us to come down."
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing?"I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,"says Viesturs.But for a man who's climbed the world's 14tallest mountains,he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

59.What record has Ed Viesturs set?B
A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world's 14th highest mountain.
B.He has been to the top of the world's 14highest mountains.
C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.
D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14highest mountains in the world.
60.The underlined word"hooked"in Paragraph 4can be replaced by"C".
A.frightened B.discouraged C.interested  D.upset
61.The author used Viestures'words in the last paragraph to support a view thatB.
A.mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B.mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C.mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D.those who like mountain climbing won't stop climbing.

分析 這是一篇人物類短文.本文介紹了登山之王Viesturs的登山成就.他是唯一已經(jīng)成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美國人.

解答 59.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段的第二句話"But on Thursday,Viesturs became the only American to climb to the world's 14 highest mountains."可知:Viesturs已經(jīng)成功地征服了14座世界最高峰的美國人.故選B.
60.C.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)上文介紹的Viesturs的登山成就推測,hooked意為"感興趣的".如果是"被嚇倒、泄氣或不安",就不可能取得那么輝煌的成就,顯然,這幾項不符文意.故選C.
61.B.段落主旨題.此段首句"The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect."就是本段的主題,下文Viesturs所說的話是用來說明這一主題的.故選B.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

12.
Animal training refers to teaching animals specific responses to specific conditions or stimuli(刺激).Training may be for the purpose of companionship,detection,protection,entertainment or all of the above.
An animal trainer may use various forms of reinforcement(強化)or punishment to condition an animal's responses.There are many ways to train animals and as a general rule no legal requirements or certifications(證書)are required.
Chickens
Training chickens has become a way for trainers of other animals (primarily dogs) to perfect their training technique.Bob Bailey,former director of Animal Behavior Enterprises and the IQ Zoo,teaches in chicken training courses where trainers teach chickens to tell different shapes,to navigate an obstacle course and to chain behaviors together.
Fish
Fish can also be trained.For example,a goldfish may swim toward its owner and follow him as he walks through the room,but will not follow anyone else.The fish may swim up and down,signaling the owner to turn on its aquarium (魚缸) light when it is off,and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it.Pet goldfish have also been taught to perform more complicated tasks,such as doing the limbo (a kind of dance) and pushing a miniature soccer ball into a net.
Pigs
Among all animals,they are the third cleverest-monkeys,dolphins and pigs.Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats.Pigs have a very good sense of smell.They can find things nearby or faraway.They can also help the police to find out drugs at an airport or at a train station.
21.Which is true according to the passage?D
A.Most people train animals because they need friends.
B.Training animals requires some certifications.
C.Bob Bailey is a professional animal trainer.

23.Scientists think the training of pigs is easier becauseC.
A.pigs do not bite like dogs     B.pigs have a good sense of hearing
