20、错在酒要了作者父亲的命,这和第二段第一句不符;B项错在酒驾让父亲要了另外两个人的命,根据第二段倒数第二句“You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street,crashing into two other cars”可知,酒驾让父亲撞了另外两辆车,并没有提到要了另外两个人的命;D项错在酒使父亲陷入麻烦,洗了胃。根据第三段倒数第二句“This wont happen again,they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stoma

40、rts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still had a lot of fun”可知,攀岩是作者最喜欢的项目,作者从中体会到了许多乐趣。C项意为“高兴的”,符合语境,故C项正确。A项意为“令人紧张的”,B项意为“受伤的”,D项意为“担心的”,都与语境不符。14解析:选C。考查推理判断。根据第一段的最后一句“It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience”和第二段的第一句以及最后一段“Yosemite isnt the only great.Mother Nature of
41、fers”可知,去Yosemite公园是一次快乐而冒险的经历;据此可知,Yosemite公园值得一游。根据最后一段中的 “Yosemite isnt the only great national park”可知,Yosemite公园并非是唯一的国家公园,故B项错误;根据第三段的第三句“Yosemite has 5 of the worlds highest waterfalls,and about 300 lakes”可知,Yosemite公园拥有五个世界最高的瀑布,有300个左右的湖泊,是一个有特色的国家公园,故D项错误;A项文中没有提及。15解析:选D。考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“I
