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，韋恩費爾柴爾德開始擔心我們在羅洛小道上的跋涉——從蒙大拿州羅洛到愛達荷州威佩的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。
