It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty—one, he had fallen while climbing a mountain, losing his legs. But he never lost his love for life.

　　Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand. They thought it would take them seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton(巖釘）into the rock. Tying one end of a 50—meter rope to the piton, he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and tied it to his belt(腰帶). He next readied above his bead and tied a T—bar(丁字鐵）to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above，Peter let out a cheer, “You’re on your way.”

　　For the first four days the two men progressed upward without accident. But on the fifth day，a very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.

　　It took them one more day than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared, the group of people waiting on the top went wild with joy.

　　根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

Hi Eric,
　　We don’t have smog in Oxford. We get fog sometimes, but that’s all. Oxford is much smaller than LA. We only have about 135,000 people. I looked up the 1900 population, it was about 57,000. So it is about twice as many people, not ten times as many, like LA! Oxford is much smaller than London - London has about 7,000,000 people. So that means that LA has more people than London. LA gets hotter than Oxford. We have colder winters too – it can be -4°C in winter.
　　I’m not surprised that your new student only knew about the university. It is famous because it is one of the oldest universities in the country. There are about 18,000 students. The brother of my best friend is at Aberystwyth University, in Wales. There the population is 14,000 and half of that are students! It must be a strange place to live! There are more tourists in Oxford than students, I should think. We get a lot of tourists, all year round. We also get a lot of young foreign students because there are a lot of language schools here. You can stand in the middle of Oxford, close your eyes, and hear accents from all over the world!
　　Your e-mail friend, Ben
　　37. How many people are there in Oxford?
