As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7, 033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge(山脊). There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.”盡管雪越來(lái)越深，我們的運(yùn)氣還是和天氣有關(guān)。當(dāng)我們爬上Indian Post Office時(shí)，這條小路的最高點(diǎn)是7033英尺，我們已經(jīng)在柔軟的雪地里走了13英里，我們幾乎沒(méi)有足夠的力氣來(lái)做飯。吃完雞肉后，我坐在山脊上的一塊石頭上。任何方向都看不見(jiàn)光，甚至連一堆篝火也看不見(jiàn)。四天來(lái)我們都看不到其他人。我們專注于既恐懼又快樂(lè)的事情。在我們的想象中，我們終于趕上了劉易斯和克拉克。）可知，當(dāng)穿越羅洛山口時(shí)，作者是在跟隨劉易斯和克拉克的足跡在前行。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Losing a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have e across, at some point or the other in our lives. While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it. And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along! Hunter was on his way to attend his sister39。s wedding on a Las Vegasbound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter39。s family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet. But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter39。s sister39。s wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read, Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver — row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best. . I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!! Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter39。s mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally. Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of his coworkers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt39。s post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity. I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the oute. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news. I personally want to thank Todd Brown and his wife for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there.（1）How did Hunter Shamatt get his wallet back?
