34、在回来的路上摔伤了腿，由此判断回程艰难，登顶成功(successfully)。2A他们成功登顶，但是在返回的路上情况变得艰难起来。3D根据上文 on their way back 以及下文 get back 可知，这里指 Simon 继续返回，而“攀登”“工作”“休息”均与文意不符。4BSimon 是有可能独自安全(safely)返回的。A.不情愿地；C.缓慢地；D.懊悔地。5D但是 Simon 决定冒生命危险用绳子将 Joe 放到山下去。risk ones life 意为“冒生命危险”。6C当他们下降(go down)时，天气越发恶劣起来。lie down 躺下；settle down 安顿
35、下来；look down 俯视。7D根据下文可推断出，这里指又一件麻烦事(trouble)发生了。A.损坏；B.暴风雨；C.改变。8A根据上文“他们既看不到彼此也听不到彼此的声音”推断，这里指Simon 错将 Joe 放到了峭壁的边缘。A.错误地；B.偶然地；C.出于自己的选择；D.侥幸。9D根据下文可知，Simon 最终割断了绳子，由此推断：Joe 爬上来或是Simon 把他拉上来是不可能了。10BJoe 的体重(weight)正慢慢将 Simon 拽向峭壁。A.高度；C.力量；D.设备。11A终于(Finally)，在黑暗与彻骨的寒冷中挣扎一个多小时之后，Simon 不得不作出抉择。B.耐
36、心地；C.必定；D.迅速地。12C根据下文“Simon 流着泪割断了绳索”可知，这就是他作出的决定(make a decision)。A.退后；B.休息一会儿；D.不挂断电话，坚持住。13B割断绳子后，Joe 落入(fall into)下面冰层上的一个巨大的裂缝中。14A根据下文 started to.towards their camp 可推断出，Joe 设法离开了那个裂缝。manage to do 意为“做成；设法完成”。15C根据上文“He couldnt walk”可推断出，move(移动，挪动)一词最符合语境。A.跑；B.滑冰；D.行军，前进。16B营地离此处将近10公里远。副词 a
37、way 表示“在(某距离)处”。17DSimon 已经返回(return to)山脚下的营地。A.前往；B.去(旅行)；C.动身去。18A根据文章最后一句中 still alive 可推断出，Simon 原以为 Joe 一定是死了。19C根据下文时间状语 Three days later 可推断出，这里指 Simon 并未立即(immediately)离开营地。A.秘密地；B.疲倦地；D.焦虑地。20B三天后的夜里，Joe 竟然奇迹般地活着回到了营地，这当然是令Simon 难以置信的，故答案选B。.语法填空On a very cold evening, an old man was waiti
38、ng for a ride across the river. He saw several horsemen pass by but he didnt ask for any help. The wait seemed_1_(end) .Then came another rider. The old man _2_(catch) his eye and said, “Sir，would you mind doing me a favor？” Stopping his horse, he replied, “Of course.” Almost_3_(freeze), the old man
39、 could not get_4_the ground. The horseman helped him onto his horse. He took the old man not only across the river, _5_to his home. “Sir, you didnt even ask other riders for help, why? What_6_ I had said no and left you there？” the horseman asked. The old man looked at him straight in the eyes and s
40、aid, “I looked into their eyes and I found they didnt care, _7_told me it would be useless, but when I looked into_8_， I saw kindness.” These words touched the rider deeply. “Thank you for _9_youve said. I hope I will never be too busy to help others.”With that，Thomas Jefferson，the _10_(three)presid
41、ent of the US，turned his horse around and went away.答案与解析本文为记叙文。介绍了美国第三任总统 Thomas Jefferson 帮助一位老人过河的故事。1endless谓语动词 seemed 为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语，根据上文可知，等待似乎没有尽头，故答案为 endless。2caught考查时态。句意：那位老人引起了他的注意。本文讲的是过去发生的故事，故本空用一般过去时。3frozen本题考查非谓语动词作状语。主语 the old man 与 freeze 为逻辑上的被动关系，且表示状态，故用 freeze 的过去分词形式。4of
42、f句意：老人几乎要冻僵了，因此他站不起来。本题考查介词。off 从离开。get off the ground 离开地面，即站起来。5but(also)句意：他不仅带老人过了河，而且还把他送回了家。根据上面的 not only 可知本空用 but (also)。6if句意：如果我拒绝了你把你留在那里会怎样？what if 意为：如果会怎样？7which本题考查非限制性定语从句。先行词为前面一句话，关系词在定语从句中作主语，故用 which 引导。8yours根据上面“I looked into their eyes”中的 their eyes，可推知本空用 your eyes，为了避免重复，用名
43、词性物主代词 yours 代替 your eyes。9what“_9_youve said”作介词 for 的宾语，该宾语从句中缺少宾语且表示事物，故用 what 引导。10third根据设空处前的定冠词及上下文语境可知本空需用序数词，故答案为 third。.短文改错Last summer I went to Xian with my parents.
