题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
小题1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?| A．Differences between Golf and Mountaineering. | | B．Sports and Games. | | C．Mountaineering. | | D．Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering? |
小题2: The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in ____.| A．team game | | B．enjoyment | | C．age | | D．rules |
小题3:The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because ____.| A．mountain climbers usually compete in groups | | B．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing | | C．mountaineering climbers are free to use their won rules to climb | | D．mountaineering is a sport not a game |
小题4: In the author’s opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy
mountaineering is that ____.| A．there are no man-made rules for mountaineers | | B．mountaineering is a sport and not a game | | C．it is one of the most dangerous sports | | D．mountaineering brings us more enjoyment than other sports |

When I was in primary school, sometimes I would meet a girl of the same age as me. Lisa was never active, but she was always very sweet and nice. In the 5th grade she came to my class.
She was absent(缺席) a lot , and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick, and she explained she wore a wig(假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair. We left it at that. Anytime Lisa came to class—seldom—I would hang around with her on the playground.
I received much ridicule (嘲笑) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice, and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.
It had been months since Lisa was in our class, and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争)with cancer for years.
I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well, all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life, I think of Lisa.
I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father. I’d like to tell them that though they never met me, their daughter had a sweet effect on my life. I have no idea what her parents’ first names are. I write to your column (栏目)and hope you can point me in the right direction.
Lisa was such a lovely girl. Maybe her parents would be comforted by the fact that after all these years they are not the only ones who remember her.
小题1:The underlined sentence in Para 2 probably means ________________.| A．we kept on talking about her illness later | | B．we discussed the topic and then left together | | C．we just stopped talking about her illness | | D．we went away after talking about her illness |
小题2:Why was the author being laughed at?| A．Because she wore a wig to school | | B．Because she always played with Lisa. | | C．Because she cried in the classroom | | D．Because she lost her friends because of Lisa. |
小题3: What did the author learn from Lisa?| A．To keep your illness a secret. | | B．To be nice to everyone everywhere. | | C．To face challenges in life bravely. | | D．To put others’ needs above yours. |
小题4:The author wrote this passage mainly to __________.| A．remember a true friend | B．ask for help to find a friend’s parents | | C．show her concern for a friend | D．tell her experience of fighting cancer |

Once Dr．Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical ^problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr．: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said．
The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received．
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said．
"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won’t be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he’ll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
小题1:The patient had no desire to eat because| A．he was not hungry | B．he was seriously ill | | C．he was given special meals | D．he was not satisfied with the food |
小题2:According to the passage, we can conclude that .| A．the patient’s native language was Spanish | | B．the patient’s illness was caused by hunger | | C．Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient | | D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient |
小题3:Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?| A．Cold. | B．Considerate. | C．Curious. | D．Careless. |
小题4:What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?| A．Doctors should be good at foreign languages. | | B．Doctors should know their patients’ real problems. | | C．Doctors should try to improve their medical skills. | | D．Doctors should have a good relationship ith their patients. |
