[语篇综合训练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me.The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash.Whenever I was asked whether I'd climb Mt.Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.
That was probably where my personal Mt.Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries.In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt.Qomolangma.But Mallory's partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found.The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.
Pollard's story moved me.I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy.I was wrong.On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I'd ever been in any climbing.Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route.My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt.Qomolangma.
I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists.We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal.
I went to Mt.Qomolangma to seek Irvine.But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared.It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers' footsteps up Mt.Qomolangma.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在Thom Pollard的激励下,作者开始攀登珠穆朗玛峰,但他发现这要比他想象中难。在攀登的过程中,作者感悟到了更重要的东西,并对那些冒着巨大风险攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇士表达了钦佩之情。
√
1.What is the main reason why the author hated climbing Mt.Qomolangma?
A.He changed his climbing goal.
B.Mt.Qomolangma was seriously polluted by trash.
C.Mt.Qomolangma became an industry to make money.
D.The mountain was too crowded with climbers.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.”可知,作者讨厌攀登珠穆朗玛峰是因为它变成了一个赚钱的行业。
√
2.Why did the author climb Mt.Qomolangma later?
A.He desired to challenge himself.
B.He got motivated by Thom Pollard.
C.His old friend persuaded him to climb again.
D.He wanted to follow in the footsteps of Mallory and Irvine.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pollard's story moved me.”可知,作者后来攀登珠穆朗玛峰是受到了Thom Pollard的激励。
3.What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Expressed my gratitude.
B.Proved my determination.
C.Relieved the tiredness.
D.Showed my respect.
√
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“I began to pack for the ...in any climbing.”以及画线词后的“not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route”可知,此处表示在攀登的过程中,作者一直在向Mallory、Irvine和所有推动自己走上这条路的人致敬。故画线短语与D项词义相近。
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Admiration for the climbers.
B.Concern about the risk.
C.Confidence in the journey.
D.Hope for Mt.Qomolangma's future.
√
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“It was hiding ...footsteps up Mt.Qomolangma.”可知,作者在本段对那些冒着巨大风险攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢攀登者表达了钦佩之情。
Ⅱ.完形填空
You might say I found marathoning, step by step.Or perhaps it found me.I was 5 an athlete growing up.In fact, I have a hard time 6_ that term to myself even today.
It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk.At first it was 7 .But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 8 .Before long, I was running 5 miles.Then I set a goal to run a half marathon.And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon.I thought, “Now what?” I started to 9 a marathon.
It so happened that I 10 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 11 by his words.I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn't believe I could 12 .Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you've done enough training.You'll finish!”
I never had someone 13 me like that, let alone a real, live coach.He gave me the 14 I needed.I set out to run my 15 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00.Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running.
Running a marathon isn't for everybody.But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to 16 the unreachable and to take that 17 into the rest of their life.When you cross the finish line you may never have a 18 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.Your 19 of the world and, more importantly, of yourself will forever be changed!
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者喜欢上马拉松的过程和这项运动的意义。
√
5.A.always B.rarely
C.never D.nearly
解析:根据上文“You might say I found marathoning, step by step.”和下文“It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk.”可推知,作者成年后才接触马拉松,所以在之前的成长过程中,她并不喜欢运动,不算运动员。
√
6.A.pointing B.applying
C.turning D.spreading

C.unfamiliar D.exciting
解析:根据下文“But soon, my body adjusted”可知,一开始作者的身体没有适应,所以会觉得很难。
√

C.more D.none
解析:根据上文“a daily three-mile walk”和下文“Before long, I was running 5 miles.”可知,作者由一开始的步行3英里转变到跑步5英里,说明在身体适应后,作者想要进行更多运动。
√
9.A.report B.record

解析:根据上文“Now what?”可推知,作者在完成了半程马拉松后开始寻找下一个目标,开始考虑全程的马拉松比赛。

解析:根据下文“a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach”可知,作者参加了一个会议,听了演讲。

C.embarrassed D.amused
解析:根据下文“I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn't believe I could .”可推知,作者深受教练Rick Muhr的话鼓舞,所以才想和他分享自己的担忧,希望得到鼓励。
√
12.A.participate B.finish

解析:根据下文“Trish, you've done enough training.You'll finish!”可推知,作者怕自己无法完成马拉松比赛。
√
13.A.agree with B.rely on

解析:根据上文教练Rick Muhr的话“Trish, you've done enough training.You'll finish!”可知,教练表达了对作者的信任。

C.satisfaction D.motivation
解析:根据上文“I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn't believe I could .”可知,作者对完成马拉松没有信心,所以教练Rick Muhr的鼓励给了她信心。
√

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种中国传统健身气功——八段锦在中国受到越来越多年轻人的喜爱。
1.regularly 考查副词。根据空前的动词词组“work out”可知,此处应用副词修饰。
2.following 考查非谓语动词。空处与going to the gym一起在句中并列作主语,故填动名词形式。
3.decided 考查动词时态。根据句中时间状语“About eight months ago”可知,此处应用一般过去时。
4.a 考查冠词。give ...a try为固定短语,意为“尝试……”。
5.on 考查介词。concentrate on ...为固定短语,意为“聚精会神于”。
6.who 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,且在从句中作主语,修饰指人的先行词Huang,故填关系代词who。
7.to remember 考查非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”,为固定用法,故填不定式,在句中作宾语补足语。
8.and 考查连词。空前的“relaxed”和空后的“full of energy”为系动词feel后的并列表语,故用and连接。
9.have received 考查时态和主谓一致。根据句首的“So far”可知,空处应用现在完成时;主语为复数,谓语动词也应用复数形式。
10.beginners 考查名词及复数。空处在句中作介词to的宾语,应用名词形式;再根据语境可知,此处表示泛指,应用复数形式。
