The ground is white. The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail—95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail. When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass, 140 miles south of Missoula, on August 12, 1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him。 high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow. Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East. Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的) gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it. The Lolo is passable only from July to midSeptember. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. 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.(1)According to the passage, the word trek in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A.a fortable walk in a separate countryB.a pleasant journey across the countrysideC.a journey over untraveled pathwaysD.a long, hard journey over rough areas(2)We learn from the text that before 1805 ________. A.the Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snowB.there were no people living in the western part of AmericaC.no Americans knew of the existence of the Rocky MountainsD.the Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States(3)We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass ________. A.remains much the same as it was 200 years agoB.is the meeting point of three culturesC.has changed a lot since 1805D.now attracts a large number of tourists to visit(4)Judging from the text, Lewis and Clark were most probably ________. A.two native IndiansB.explorers of the early 19th centuryC.merchants who did business with the IndiansD.travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass(5)We can infer from the text that when crossing the Lolo Pass the author ________. A.was attempting the impossibleB.was trying to set a world recordC.was following the trail of Lewis and ClarkD.was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risks【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)A(4)B(5)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇日記,日記中記錄的是一次追尋前人足跡的探險,盡管天氣使探險變得艱難,但是在作者看來卻是已經(jīng)趕上了以前的探險者。 (1)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail—95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West.可知,韋恩費(fèi)爾柴爾德開始擔(dān)心我們在羅洛小道上的跋涉——從蒙大拿州羅洛到愛達(dá)荷州威佩的95英里的路程里,要穿越西部最艱苦的地區(qū)。所以判斷出,第1段中的Trek一詞在意義上最接近于“在崎嶇地區(qū)的漫長而艱苦的旅程”。故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass, 140 miles south of Missoula, on August 12, 1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him…Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.1805年8月12日,當(dāng)劉易斯爬到米蘇拉以南140英里的萊姆希山口時,他被眼前的景象驚呆了。在當(dāng)時的美國,沒有人知道落基山脈的存在,那里的山峰是東部阿巴拉契亞山脈的兩倍高。可知,所以我們從文章中得知,1805年以前沒有美國人知道落基山脈的存在。故選C。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.可知,今天,它的狀況仍然和劉易斯和克拉克行走時一樣。所以我們從短文中知道羅洛山口仍然和200年前一樣。故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo劉易斯和克拉克在200年前差點(diǎn)被羅洛山口的暴風(fēng)雪打敗以及第三段中的the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的) gift勇敢面對困難的探險者和珍視并保護(hù)這條道路為神圣禮物的美洲土著人??芍?,劉易斯和克拉克在200年前,也就是19世紀(jì)的早期就探險過羅洛山口,留下了他們探險的足跡,他們是偉大的探險家。所以判斷出,劉易斯和克拉克最有可能是19世紀(jì)早期的探險家。故選B。 (5)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. 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,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,我們幾乎沒有足夠的力氣來做飯。吃完雞肉后,我坐在山脊上的一塊石頭上。任何方向都看不見光,甚至連一堆篝火也看不見。四天來我們都看不到其他人。我們專注于既恐懼又快樂的事情。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,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】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,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.請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him. After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without promise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment. For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing wom
