【正文】 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的”They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble.“可知人們低估了這座山，同時(shí)高估了自己的能力，因此他們陷入麻煩中，即對(duì)情況感到過(guò)于樂(lè)觀導(dǎo)致他們涉險(xiǎn)。 故選A。根據(jù)第一段中的”From June to September, the temperature can easily surpass the century mark“；”Signs warn that the trail is ‘extremely difficult’“；”If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. “和“If you39。Cullymore通過(guò)在炎炎夏日給那些遠(yuǎn)足者提供水而被人們親切地稱為“水天使”。D.Hikers in NeedB.He regretted taking a blanket.（4）What is the best title for the text?

Fortunate y, Scott Cullymore does. The 53yearold Cullymore can be found hiking up and down Camelback a couple of times a day, giving out cold bottles of water to wornout hikers.

So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once there39。On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, we39。t cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of preMarx munism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldn39。 s fault.Most of the arguments against giving sixyearolds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, it39。s centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty (最高權(quán)威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia (懷念) for a past the young wouldn39。 ve lost it.s argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who don39。 s view that sixyearolds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a sixyearold could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the vote—along with, unavoidably, sevenyearolds who are even sillier, if anything—is quite an amusing proposal.However, we broadly agree that there39。d say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I39。The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary.
