But he feels sad because he isn’t good at it.”可推知，马克因弹不好吉他而向爸爸求助。ask sb. for help“向某人求助”。故选B。 【18题详解】 句意：我们将爬一座高山。 small小的；short短的；high高的。根据下文“children called this hill ‘Impossible (不可能的) Mountain’”可推知，马克和他的爸爸将爬一座高山。故选C。 【19题详解】 句意：这座山很难爬，但是马克没有放弃，并在路上帮助他的爸爸。 easy容易的；difficult困难的；little小的。根据下文“children called this hill ‘Impossible (不可能的) Mountain’”可推知，这座山很难爬。故选B。 【20题详解】 句意：这座山很难爬，但是马克没有放弃，并在路上帮助他的爸爸。 in在……里面；by通过；on在……上面。on the way“在路上”。故选C。 【21题详解】 句意：最后，他们到达了山顶。 top顶端；foot脚；middle中间。根据下文“They are both happy.”可推知，他们到达了山顶。故选A。 【22题详解】 句意：我小的时候，孩子们称这座山为‘不可能的山’，因为他们无法到达山顶。 so因此；because因为；but但是。分析“children called this hill ‘Impossible (不可能的) Mountain’...they couldn’t get to the top”可知，前后句是因果关系，后句是前句的原因，所以连词because符合语境。故选B。 【23题详解】 句意：他爬了许多其他的山，甚至是“不可能的山”。 other其他的（其后要接名词）；others其他（其后不接名词）；another另一个（其后通常接单数名词）。空后的hills是可数名词的复数形式，所以other符合语境。故选A。 【24题详解】 句意：他明白了努力工作和耐心可以让事情变得可能。 remembers记得；understands明白；spends花费。根据“He...that hard work and patience (耐心) makes things possible.”可知，马克明白了努力工作和耐心可以让事情变得可能。故选B。 【25题详解】 句意：在那之后，他继续练习他的吉他，并且认为他将来能弹好它。 good好的（形容词原级）；best最好（最高级）；well好（副词原级）。分析“he can play it...in the future (未来)”可知，此处不存在三者或三者以上的比较，不能用最高级，所以排除选项B；空处缺少副词修饰动词play，所以well符合语境。故选C。 Ⅳ. 阅读理解（共两节，25小题；满分45分） 第一节 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） A COMMUNITY YARD SALE July 10th 9 a.m.—5 p.m. Your City Name 100—800 City Blocks, Any city, the USA Clothing all sizes, guitars, computers, furniture, bird feeders, tools, toys and more!
