专题04 阅读理解 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·合肥市瑶海区第三十八中教育集团·期中） Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new. When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!” That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience. 1．Why did the writer join in the running race? A．Because he was crazy about running for the race. B．Because he just wanted to try something new.

There is a scientific reason for this. Researchers are studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially (尤其是) for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song.” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little children, we usually use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．What’s the underlined word “catchy” probably mean? A．Fast to read. B．Slow to follow. C．Easy to remember. D．Difficult to understand. 3．Why does the writer mention (提到) Hua Zhuying in Paragraph 3? A．To show that many language teachers’ English are very good. B．To show that many language teachers know the importance of music C．To show that children can learn Chinese and music in Washington DC． D．To show that little children want to learn foreign languages in music. 4．What can we infer (推断) from this passage? A．Learning foreign languages can open the door for future. B．Hua Zhuying is an English teacher in Washington DC． C．It’s interesting for children to learn foreign languages in music. D．Hua Zhuying learned English in music when she was young. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The importance of music B．A great foreign language teacher C．The songs about childhood D．Leaning foreign languages in music Passage 3 （24-25八年级上·合肥市第四十二中学·期中） I’m from Canada and now live in Shanghai.

Students from all parts of the country have been doing something to care for birds. Meng Yiru, a 16-year-old student from Nanyang Model High School in Shanghai, asked people to protect birds: Never put birds in cages. Go to visit them in the wild if you really love them. “I’ll never forget the little sparrow (麻雀) I kept in a cage,” said Meng. “It stopped eating after I caught it and soon died.” Meng and her classmates put many of their ideas in their 300-word report to ask people to take better care of birds. China is the home of more than 1,000 kinds of birds because the country is large and has almost every weather type to suit them. But not everyone knows how to take good care of them. Some cut down trees and destroy the birds’ homes. This has made the number of the birds go down quickly. A study shows that one out of eight birds, more than 1,200 kinds, in the world could die out. This includes 95 percent of albatrosses (信天翁) and 60 percent of cranes (鹤). Some birds you see every day, like pigeons and parrots, are also in danger!

Now, people can even make this happen with masks (口罩) on their faces. ②For example, Engineering &Technology (E&T) magazine said that Hanwang, a company in Beijing, has made a system (系统). For people wearing masks, it can tell who they are 95 percent of the time. ③How? It’s all about your eyes. ④Marios Savvides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, our faces change shape, he explained. But the part around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we become fatter. As long as there are enough data (数据) from the parts around our eyes, the cameras can know us. ⑤Tech5 is another facial recognition company. The Swiss company’s product (产品) studies the shape of your face. It also studies your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to leave out all of the face below the nose. ⑥This kind of tool has more uses than just unlocking your phone. Huang Lei from Hanwang thinks that it can help find bad people even when they wear masks. Chinese police use it in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force. Huang pointed out one big problem: It doesn’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T. 1．What latest problem did scientists solve according to Paragraph 1? A．Unlocking phones with facial-recognition technology. B．Opening doors with facial-recognition technology. C．Paying quickly with facial-recognition technology. D．Knowing faces even under masks. 2．What can we learn according to Marios Savvides? A．Cameras can always tell who people are by the shape of their face. B．The area around the eyes stays the same shape as time goes by. C．Facial recognition technology works better on young people. D．Getting fatter may change the shape of our eyes. 3．What does Tech5 use for facial recognition in their technology? A．Mouth. B．Face color. C．Iris. D．Nose. 4．What can we learn from Paragraph 6? A．Ways for terrorists to hide. B．The weakness of the new technology. C．More uses of Hanwang’s technology. D．The way China and the US are working together. 5．In which part of a magazine could you read the text? A．Health and medicine. B．History and culture. C．Science and technology.

For them, education（教育） can be really useful and helpful. ②In northern Kenya, the weather was very hot. Mr. Smith went to school when he was young. He now works as an accountant（会计） in the town. His elder brother Scott never went to school. And he was a farmer all the time. Smith sometimes helped Scott keep cows. ③Smith knew about the bad weather. So he told Scott to sell half of his cows.

He became the first Chinese to open a restaurant in the Arctic Circle. Hu Liang, from China’s Hubei Province, moved to Finland after finishing university at 21. Over the past decade or so, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holidays. “Chinese people are becoming richer and more international. What has not changed is their tastes. So I decided to open the restaurant,” said Hu. Hu’s restaurant provides reganmian as well as the Chinese hot pot. He buys ingredients from China online and offers e-payment which is popular among Chinese people, such as Ali-pay. At a price of $18.45, a bowl of reganmian is not only a great comfort to Chinese tourists who have traveled from thousands of miles away, but also an attraction (吸引), for local Finns. In the busy season, every day Hu receives more than 300 guests to offer them a “hot” experience in the cold and snowy land.

Passage 3 （23-24八年级上·合肥市蜀山区·期中） Hard-working horses have always been man’s best friends, but the playful pony is a kid’s best friend. A pony is a small horse. Like horses, they have a lot of hair. The most well-known is the small Shetland pony, only as tall as a six-year-old child! Shetland ponies can pull twice their own weight (重量), with their thick hair to protect them from the cold. Ponies eat grass, oats and bran (燕麦和糠) and they also love carrots and apples. They don’t eat meat. Ponies can sleep both lying down and standing up. They are very playful, which is why they get on so well with children! They are happy to hang with their friends and go for rides. They enjoy having fun as much as their riders. Like you and your friends, every pony is different. Some are quiet and some are cheeky (嬉皮笑脸的). Some are hard-working and others can be a bit lazy. Ponies are sensitive (善解人意的) and often try to cheer you up when you feel sad. Just like you, they prefer to be spoken to kindly rather than shouted at! A pony makes a great playmate but remember that it is not a toy. It is a living animal that needs care and lots of loving attention.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons (原因). Most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes are born in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁徙) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon” (鲑鱼). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels a long way to salty water (咸水). There it spends most of its life. When it is old, it returns its birthplace in fresh water. In the north of Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when their homes become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside and many of them will die if they fall into the sea. The migration of a special kind of lobsters (龙虾) is interesting. Every year when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean (海洋). Nobody knows where they go. So sometimes we know why animals move from one place to another but at other time we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel. 1．Why do most animals move from one place to another at a certain time? A．To leave crowded places. B．To get food more easily. C．To find fresh water easily.

Passage 5 （23-24八年级上·合肥市瑶海区·期中） Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America, covering 7800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world? ” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life on Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists learn how plants live in extreme (极端的) conditions. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most satisfying. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper. 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．Jerry’s friends.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!” That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience. 1．Why did the writer join in the running race? A．Because he was crazy about running for the race. B．Because he just wanted to try something new.

Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. Researchers are studying the relationship (关系) between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially (尤其是) for a foreign language. The brain (脑) likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song.” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little children, we usually use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.” Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．What’s the underlined word “catchy” probably mean? A．Fast to read. B．Slow to follow. C．Easy to remember.

Another story about face-painting was related to Li Longji, an emperor in the Tang Dynasty. He loved opera very much. One day, a clown actor (丑角) fell ill right before a performance. The emperor decided to play this role himself. He covered his face with a piece of white square jade (玉) so that others wouldn’t be able to recognize (认出) him. Since then, clown actors have continued to paint white squares on their faces. As time went on, face-painting was used to show the personalities (个性) of different roles.

People in China start the Bird Loving Week. Students from all parts of the country have been doing something to care for birds. Meng Yiru, a 16-year-old student from Nanyang Model High School in Shanghai, asked people to protect birds: Never put birds in cages. Go to visit them in the wild if you really love them. “I’ll never forget the little sparrow (麻雀) I kept in a cage,” said Meng. “It stopped eating after I caught it and soon died.” Meng and her classmates put many of their ideas in their 300-word report to ask people to take better care of birds. China is the home of more than 1,000 kinds of birds because the country is large and has almost every weather type to suit them. But not everyone knows how to take good care of them. Some cut down trees and destroy the birds’ homes. This has made the number of the birds go down quickly. A study shows that one out of eight birds, more than 1,200 kinds, in the world could die out. This includes 95 percent of albatrosses (信天翁) and 60 percent of cranes (鹤). Some birds you see every day, like pigeons and parrots, are also in danger! To help them, people have set up 7,500 reserves which are suitable and safe for the birds. In China, there are big reserves like the ones near the Dongting Lake in Hunan and the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. Is there anything that you can do for birds? Take care of their homes. Feed them with something delicious. Well, think it over and begin to do it now! 1．China is the home of many kinds of birds because ________.

A．自然保护区 B．聚居地 C．野生动物园 D．养鸟场 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】主要介绍了鸟的生存环境以及我们应该保护它们。 1．细节理解题。根据“China is the home of more than 1,000 kinds of birds because the country is large and has almost every weather type to suit them.”可知中国有超过1000种鸟类，因为国家大，几乎所有的天气类型适合它们。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。本段主要内容是关于上海南洋模范中学的16岁学生孟怡如发起的一个呼吁，她希望大家保护鸟类，不要将鸟儿关在笼子里，也就是选项B“孟怡如告诉人们如何保护鸟类”表述的内容。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Some cut down trees and destroy the birds’ homes. This has made the number of the birds go down quickly. A study shows that one out of eight birds, more than 1,200 kinds, in the world could die out.”可知，砍伐森林导致鸟的死亡。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据前文句子“To help them, people have set up 7,500 reserves which are suitable and safe for the birds.”中的“which are suitable and safe for the birds.”以及“like the ones near the Dongting Lake in Hunan and the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi.”可知，“reserves”指的是为保护鸟类等野生动物而设立的区域，与自然保护区的意思相符。故选A。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·合肥市瑶海区第三十八中教育集团·期中） Listening to Music While Studying Do you like listening to music when you’re studying?

They divided (分配) students into different groups:o Group A: revised without music; o Group B: revised to music without words; o Group C: revised to music with words they liked; o Group D: revised to music with words they disliked. The students then took a test on what they had been revising.

One of them was an old teacher, the other was an office worker. Both of them planted the same plants in their gardens. The old teacher gave a little water to his plants and didn’t always care for them while his neighbor gave much water to his plants and looked after them well. The old teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The office worker’s plants are much taller and greener. One night, there was a heavy rain. The next morning, the office worker saw his plants were uprooted (连根拔起), but the old teacher’s plants stood firmly (稳固地). The neighbor was surprised and went to the old teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together. I looked after my plants better than you did, and I even gave them more water. However, my plants uprooted, while yours weren’t. Why?” The old teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more water, so they didn’t need to work for it. I gave them a little water, so their roots grew deeper to get more water. It made them stronger.” 1．According to Paragraph l, the old teacher ________.

D．Too much care can make us become weak. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了两个邻居在各自的花园里种了相同的植物，一个对植物精心照顾，一个只是每天给植物浇一点水。一场暴雨过后，被精心照顾的植物被连根拔起，而不太受到照顾的植物却屹立不倒。 1．细节理解题。根据“The old teacher gave a little water to his plants and didn’t always care for them while his neighbor gave much water to his plants and looked after them well.”可知，老教师给他的植物浇很少的水，总是不关心它们；而他的邻居给植物浇很多水，把它们照顾得很好。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“One night, there was a heavy rain. The next morning, the office worker saw his plants were uprooted...”可知，一场大雨后，上班族的植物被连根拔起了。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“The old teacher smiled and said, ‘You gave your plants more water, so they didn’t need to work for it. I gave them a little water, so their roots grew deeper to get more water. It made them stronger.’ ”可知，老教师很擅长种植物，他只给植物浇一点水，植物只能把根扎得更深，以获得更多的水，这使得它们更强壮。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“You gave your plants more water, so they didn’t need to work for it. I gave them a little water, so their roots grew deeper to get more water. It made them stronger.”可知，如果人给植物浇太多的水，那么植物就不需要那么努力扎根，以获得更多的水了。同理，过多的呵护会让我们变得脆弱。故选D。 Passage 3 （23-24八年级上·合肥市五十中学西校·期中） Note－taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork.It can make you confident when you are studying.But unluckily，most students don't know how to take notes.

Many people use it to unlock (解锁) their phones, open doors or pay quickly. Now, people can even make this happen with masks (口罩) on their faces. ②For example, Engineering &Technology (E&T) magazine said that Hanwang, a company in Beijing, has made a system (系统). For people wearing masks, it can tell who they are 95 percent of the time. ③How? It’s all about your eyes. ④Marios Savvides from Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition. As we get older, our faces change shape, he explained. But the part around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same—even if we become fatter. As long as there are enough data (数据) from the parts around our eyes, the cameras can know us. ⑤Tech5 is another facial recognition company. The Swiss company’s product (产品) studies the shape of your face. It also studies your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to leave out all of the face below the nose. ⑥This kind of tool has more uses than just unlocking your phone. Huang Lei from Hanwang thinks that it can help find bad people even when they wear masks. Chinese police use it in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force. Huang pointed out one big problem: It doesn’t work when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T. 1．What latest problem did scientists solve according to Paragraph 1? A．Unlocking phones with facial-recognition technology. B．Opening doors with facial-recognition technology. C．Paying quickly with facial-recognition technology. D．Knowing faces even under masks. 2．What can we learn according to Marios Savvides? A．Cameras can always tell who people are by the shape of their face.

A．Ways for terrorists to hide. B．The weakness of the new technology. C．More uses of Hanwang’s technology. D．The way China and the US are working together. 5．In which part of a magazine could you read the text? A．Health and medicine. B．History and culture. C．Science and technology.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons (原因). Most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes are born in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁徙) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon” (鲑鱼). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels a long way to salty water (咸水). There it spends most of its life. When it is old, it returns its birthplace in fresh water. In the north of Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when their homes become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside and many of them will die if they fall into the sea. The migration of a special kind of lobsters (龙虾) is interesting. Every year when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean (海洋). Nobody knows where they go. So sometimes we know why animals move from one place to another but at other time we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel. 1．Why do most animals move from one place to another at a certain time? A．To leave crowded places. B．To get food more easily. C．To find fresh water easily.

B．Animals move from one place to another to find food easily. C．We should know why animals move from one place to another. D．Animal move from one place to another because they like to travel. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要讲了不同动物迁徙背后的不同原因。 1．细节理解题。根据“They move for different reasons (原因). Most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.”可知，大多数动物迁移是为了寻找到更多的食物，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food.”可知，鸟儿总是迁徙到温暖的地方以便找到食物。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲了不同动物迁徙背后的不同原因，故选A。 Passage 5 （23-24八年级上·合肥市瑶海区·期中） Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America, covering 7800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world? ” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life on Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists learn how plants live in extreme (极端的) conditions. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most satisfying. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper. 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．Jerry’s friends. B．Jerry’s achievements. C．High mountains. D．A geography magazine. 2．Why did Jerry set up a team of top adventurers? A．To make friends. B．To help scientists. C．To study plants.

A．their hobbies B．their friendship C．their understanding of life D．their living conditions 4．Which can be the best title for the passages? A．Dangerous Mountain Climbing B．Important Scientific Discoveries C．Plants found on High Mountains D．Adventures Turned into Something Greater. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了一位名为Jerry的世界著名的登山者，他和冒险家朋友们通过帮助科学家收集遥远地方的样本而改变了他们对生活的理解，同时也让登山和冒险变成了更有意义的事情。 1．段落大意题。根据“Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America, covering 7800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.”可知，Jerry是世界著名的登山者，他爬上世界上的许多高山，从2015年起，他和他的朋友花了两年时间在南美进行冒险，行程7800英里。由此可知，第一段落主要在讲述Jerry的成就。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. ”可知，Jerry之所以会成立一个顶级探险队，是为了要帮助科学家们收集样本。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing mountains.”可知，Jerry认为这样的冒险让他们以不同的方式去看待生活，而现在，成为最好的登山者对于Jerry而言已不重要，重要的是可以在登山时能做一些有益的事。由此可推，Jerry和他朋友们的冒险改变了他们对生活的理解。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了一位世界著名的登山者Jerry和他的冒险家朋友们通过帮助科学家收集样本而改变了他们对生活的理解，他敢于冒险，也让冒险变成了更伟大的事情。本文的最佳标题应是选项D“冒险变成了更伟大的事情”。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
