Climbing blindly

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. 【1】 Asia is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. Mount Everest’s peak(山峰) is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high!

Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest. 【2】 Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Everest’s top.

One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches(雪崩). 【3】 After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Everest.

At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. 【4】 By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left.

【5】 He struggled through 100 m.p.h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erik climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.

A．This mountain is located in Asia.

B．During his climb, Erik faced many dangers.

C．Everest is believed to be more than 60 million years old.

D．His team wore bells that he could follow during his climb.

E．Erik used long climbing poles to feel his way on the mountain.

F．However, what really made Erik’s climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind.

G．The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了著名的盲人登山者Erik Weihenmayer，他排除萬難登上了世界最高峰Mount Everest。

【1】A 橫線前句Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.告訴我們Mount Everest是世界上最高的山峰，橫線后一句Asia is home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. 亞洲是世界上最高的五處山峰所在地。A項This mountain is located in Asia.可以把這兩句聯(lián)系在一起。

【2】G 橫線前面一句Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest.很多人都努力攀登Mount Everest山峰，G項介紹最早登上這座山峰的人是Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.與上下文一致。

【3】F 根據(jù)橫線后一句After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16.可知Erik登山的最讓人難以相信的是他是一位盲人。故F項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】D 橫線前句告訴我們他是跟隨著一群隊友一起登山的，橫線后面一句介紹使用這一方法，他的隊友可以提醒他在登山的過程中可能會遇見的危險。所以D項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】B 根據(jù)后句He struggled through 100 m.p.h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock.可知在他登山的過程中遇見了很大的困難和危險，對于盲人來說這更是危險。故B正確。
