答案与解析
乔和西蒙是首批登上安第斯山脉SiulaGrande峰的人,但在下山时,由于气候条件的变化,乔失足摔下,虽然摔断了一条腿,但三天后西蒙听到乔的声音出现在离他们帐篷几米远的地方。
1.C
根据空后的“butontheirwayback...”可推知他们成功登
顶,故选successfully。
2.A由空后的“Joefellandbrokehisleg.”可推知当时的气候条件一定很糟糕,故选difficult。
3.D
上句提到了乔失足摔下,故此处用continued表示“他
们两个都知道,如果西蒙独自继续下去的话”。
4.B此处用safely表示“他大概能够安全地返回。”5.D
fortune“运气,财富”;time“时间”;health“健
康”;life“生命”。此处用life表示“但是西蒙决定拿自己的生命去冒险”。
6.C此处用went表示“当他们往山下去的时候,天气变得更加糟糕。”
7.D由上句中的“theweathergotworse”可知,另外的麻烦出现了,故选trouble。
8.A由于上句提到了“Theycouldn'tseeorheareachother”,所以此处应选择bymistake,表示“他错误地把他的朋友降到了峭壁的边缘”。
9.D由上句的“loweredhisfriendovertheedgeofaprecipice(峭壁)”可知,对乔来说,爬回来或者西蒙把他拽回来是不可能的,故选D项。
10.B由于乔在峭壁的边缘,所以他的体重把西蒙也慢慢地拉向了峭壁。故选B项。
11.A由“aftermorethananhourinthedarkandtheicycold”可知,此处用Finally表示“最终……”。
12.C
断绳子”。
13.B既然西蒙把绳子割断了,所以乔掉进了下面一个巨大的冰缝里。故选fell。
14.A由上句的“Hecouldn'twalk”以及空前的but可知此处此处用makeadecision表示“西蒙不得不下决心,割用managed表示“他设法从冰缝中爬了出去”。
15.C由第一段内容可知,此处应选择move表示“朝他们的营地移动”。
16.B表示“他们的营地在接近10千米远的地方”要用
away。
17.Dheadfor“前往”;travelto“到……去”;leavefor“动身去……”;returnto“回到……”。此处用returnedto表示“西蒙已经回到了山脚下的营地。”
18.A由空后的“buthedidn'twanttoleave”可知此处应选择dead与该段最后的alive呼应,表示“他认为乔一定死了。”
19.C此处用immediately表示“他不想马上离开。”20.B此处用believe表示“他不敢相信这件事情是真的:乔就在距离他们的帐篷几米远的地方,仍然活着”。
