Three Cups of Tea is a true story of our time. In 1993,a young American mountain climber named Greg Mortenson walked into a tiny village high in Pakistan's beautiful and poor Karakoram Himalaya region. Sick,exhausted,and depressed after failing to climb the summit of K2,Mortenson regained his strength and his will to live due to the generosity of the people of the village of Korphe. Before he left,he made a promise that would completely change both the villagers' lives and his own―he would return and build them a school.
1 The region was remote and dangerous as a breeding ground (滋生地) for terrorists. In the course of his work,Mortenson was taken prisoner and threatened with death. He suffered from local opposition,deep misunderstandings,jealousy,not to mention dangerous roads and extreme weather. But he believed strongly that balanced,nonextremist education,for boys and girls alike,was the most effective way to fight the violent discrimination that breeds terrorism. 2 Mortenson first approached Karakoram as a climber and he never lost the mountaineer's appreciation for the region's simple beauty and incredible physical challenges. His coauthor (合著者) David Oliver Relin skillfully described highaltitude landscapes. 3 In the course of this description,readers came to know Mortenson as a friend,a husband and father,a traveling companion,a son and brother,and also as an imperfect human being. Relin was not shy away from describing the man's annoying qualities―his impatience,disorganization and sleeplessness. 4 Pakistan and Afghanistan appeared in the news as the breeding grounds of terrorist training camps. In Three Cups of Tea,Mortenson and Relin took readers behind the headlines to reveal the true heart and soul of this region,5 .
A. But Mortenson never asked others to make sacrifices that he had not already made himself time and time again.
B. Today,Mortenson's Central Asia Institute had constructed fiftyfive schools,and his work continued.
C. Greg Mortenson promised to build a school for the villagers of Korphe to show appreciation for their generosity.
D. and to show how one man's promise might be enough to change the world
E. The book described how Mortenson kept this promise and many more in the high country of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
F. Greg Mortenson has devoted so much to building schools because he believes that education is the best way to fight discrimination that leads to terrorism.
G. Gradually he transformed himself from a poor climber to a director of a helpful institute.

一次登山,一次被幫助,一次承諾,一次兌現承諾,全都在這個故事里。
1. E考査總分關系。本段第二、三、四句寫男主人公在該地區(qū)兌現承諾的過程中所面臨的困難,最后兩句寫他認為只有教育才能改變這里的現狀,故可用E項"這本書描述了Mortenson 怎樣在巴基斯坦和阿富汗履行自己的諾言并做得更多"。
2. B考查順承關系。此空前提到了教育的重要性,此處應提到男主人公為該地區(qū)教育所做貢獻的成果。
3. G考查順承關系。男主人公的合著者受他的影響也加入到他的行列,選G.
4. A 考查轉折關系。此空前描述了男主人公的不好的一些性格,緊接著轉折表明他從未要求別人為忍受他的這些性格而作出犧牲。
5. D考查遞進關系。全文都在寫男主人公用自 己的實際行動改變了這個地區(qū)的教育面貌,故 可選D"表明一個人的承諾足可以改變世界")
