"Not always,"he said.He thought for a moment and added,"I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride." "You know,"Alex went on,"some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes,I'm not sure if the readers will like my article.I try to write as well as I can.When I finally look at my work,I feel good about myself." Alex's answer made me think of a trip ten years ago.My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride.It was a rainy day,and the mountain is 第5页，共6页 famous for its steepness ()As we looked up at its pcaks,some of us thought of giving up."You'll feel sorry about your decision,"our guide said as he encouraged us to keep going. Soon,we arrived at“Yaozi Fanshen(子翻身)".It's the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak.We climbed up the almost vertical rock face by pulling at the iron chains.It tired us out.But we felt proud. We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day.In some places,we even took the steeper way. We found that the more difficult the climb was,the more pride we got. Some mountains now provide tourists with an easicr way up-a ride on an escalator.But just as it is in writing,for some things in our lives,the harder way brings better rewards. 56.What does Alex do? 57.When did the writer and his friends climb Mount Hua? 58.How did the writer and his friends feel after reaching"Yaozi Fanshen"? 59.How many peaks of Mount Hua did the author and his friends climb in the end? 60.Do you prefer an easier way or a harder way for mountain climbing?Why? 第二节（共1小题，满分15分） 根据要求完成短文写作。 61你读了第一节（回答问题）的文章后，了解了作者关于写作和旅行的思考和收获.俗话说，“读万 卷书，不如行万里路”(Books open windows to the world,.and journeys turn words into wisdom.),请 结合一次难忘的旅行经历，根据以下提示和要求写一篇英语短文，介绍一个你喜欢的城市。 where I have visited e amazing places of interest,... what I have seen breathtaking views,… An unforgettable city what I have tried mouth-watering food,... what I have learned e special history and culture,.. 要求 1.语句通顺，条理清晰： 2包含以上所有信息，可适当发挥： 3不少于70词. 第6页，共6页
