Ⅰ.话题理解
话题:攀岩运动,感悟人生
Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert, and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absentmindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful “language”.
My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goaldirected mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and stony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者喜欢攀岩,以及作者对攀岩的理解和从攀岩中得到的感悟。
1.D [细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.(与重力、地质、气候节奏及深远的时间长河合作,我与地球建立起一种实际的关系。这种纽带正是我对攀岩热情的核心所在。我回归岩石,因为在这里,我能感受到与我们脚下这片土地的联系。)”可知,攀岩使她感到与大地相连。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert, and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absentmindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.(在岩石之上,我全神贯注。眼睛密切注视,耳朵警觉倾听,双手在表面游走。与行走时可以心不在焉地悠然漫步不同,攀岩时,专注观察至关重要。)”可知,作者发现攀岩时专注很重要。]
3.A [推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements.(Shepherd将山视为一个完整的环境,并且她赞美凯恩戈姆山是一个充满植物、岩石、动物和自然元素的地方。)”可知,作者从Shepherd身上学到攀登与大自然融为一体。]
4.C [词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Spending so much time in high and stony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it.(在高处多石的地方待了这么长时间,改变了我对世界和我们在其中的地位的看法。)”可知,此处指作者通过爬山改变了对世界和自身在世界中的地位的看法,it指代前文的“世界”。]
