小題1:考查副詞:A. back向后,B.forward向前,C.down向下,D.up 向上,the mountain top應(yīng)在平地上的村民們的上方,故用up。選D
小題2:考查名詞:A. flowers花,B.ice and snow冰雪,C.green trees 綠樹,D.leaves樹葉,從下文可以知道,很少有登攀者登臨山頂,可見山峰很高,已不可能有花草樹木;如若僅是rocks也并不beautiful,故應(yīng)為 ice and snow,在陽光下閃閃發(fā)光,既美麗又危險。選B
小題3:考查動詞:A. watched觀看,B.passed通過,C.reached到達,D.climbed爬,登攀者曾使用南山坡的路線到達山頂。選C
小題4:考查副詞:A. even甚至,B.never從不,C.seldom很少,D.ever曾經(jīng),沒有人曾經(jīng)爬山走北路,選D
小題5:考查形容詞:A. different不同的, B. unique獨特的,C.same同樣的,D.easy容易的, 前兩句講到前人爬山都走南路,而不爬北路,就是因為其更為艱難險阻,另外15空后面一句講到the climb was painful,可見 A項比 B項更恰當。A
小題6:考查副詞:A. patiently耐心的,B.carefully仔細地,C.a(chǎn)nxiously焦慮地,D.eagerly含有心情迫切的意思,而anxiously含有焦慮、著急的意思。由于爬山的路線危險重重,所以人們很擔心。選C

小題8:考查動詞:A. slide滑,B.continue繼續(xù),C.rest休息,D.stop停止,從下文的a green light和Bonatti was not giving up判斷,綠色的信號表示他要繼續(xù)爬。選B
小題9:考查詞組:A. turning back回來,B.moving up向上,C.staying away離開,缺席,躲開D.keeping on保持,這兩題的選擇需聯(lián)系到下一小節(jié)的內(nèi)容。點亮綠色信號則繼續(xù)爬山,紅色信號則下山回來。選A
小題10:考查動詞:A. existed存在,B.a(chǎn)ppeared出現(xiàn),C.turned轉(zhuǎn)身,D.traveled旅游,綠色的信號“出現(xiàn)”在山腰。注意此題不能選A項,因為從上下文內(nèi)容看他不是發(fā)射信號彈。選B

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.
小題1:The math lessons became interesting because of the new teacher's ______.

A.was in great need of the math teacher's help after class

C.had no gift for math and was slow to learn it
D.disliked both the new math teacher and his lessons
小題3:According to the passage, Lewis followed the stupid kid in order to ______.
A.learn about where he livedB.find out if he felt upset
C.say something to comfort himD.make friends with him
小題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.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is to         
A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.a(chǎn)dvise 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
小題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.
小題3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A.He wasn't able to produce a single book.
B.He hadn't seen a change for the better.
C.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.
D.He found his dream would never come true.

A.who think too much of the dark side of life
B.who regret giving up their career halfway
C.who think a lot without making a decision
D.who are full of imagination even upon death
小題5:“shadow land” in the last sentence means

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.
