题目

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are people willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, while there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. It is true that there are no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight against forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight against the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve his skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of 30, and most international tennis champions are in their early 20s. But it is not unusual for men of 50s or 60s to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. It may take them more time, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.(1) (单选题)Mountaineering involves_________.( )A. no rulesB. skating and skiingC. no teamworkD. hardship and physical risk(2) (单选题)Mountaineering is not a game, but a sport because there are no ________for it.( )A. fansB. man-made rulesC. uniformsD. risks(3) (单选题)Which of the following statements is NOT true?( )A.

题目解答

答案

1、D2、B3、C4、A5、C

解析

整体考察内容

本文围绕登山运动展开，介绍其特点（非竞技性、团队协作、对身心的要求及年龄适应性），并与其他运动对比，旨在考查对细节的理解和主旨的把握。

题目解析

1. 细节理解题

题目问登山涉及什么。根据文章第二段“Why are people willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains?”（为什么人们愿意忍受寒冷和艰辛，在高山上冒险？）可知，登山包含艰辛（hardship）和身体风险（physical risk）。

  • A. 无规则：错误，文中说“没有人为规则（no man-made rules）”，但存在安全规则，并非“无规则”；
  • B. 滑冰和滑雪：错误，这是冬季其他活动，非登山；
  • C. 无团队合作：错误，后文提到登山需要团队协作（teamwork）；
  • D. 艰辛和身体风险：正确。

2. 细节理解题

题目问登山不是游戏而是运动的原因。根据第三段“Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, while there are for such games as golf and football.”（登山是运动而非游戏，因为没有人为规则，而高尔夫、足球等游戏有）。

  • A. 粉丝：未提及；
  • B. 人为规则：正确；
  • C. 制服：未提及；
  • D. 风险：游戏也有风险，非区分点。

3. 细节理解题

题目问哪项陈述错误。根据最后一段“But it is not unusual for men of 50s or 60s to climb the highest mountains in the Alps... they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.”（50、60岁的人爬阿尔卑斯山最高峰并不罕见，他们技术更娴熟、效率更高，同样享受乐趣）。

  • A. 老年人能爬阿尔卑斯最高峰：正确；
  • B. 老年人登山更熟练、效率更高：正确；
  • C. 老年人因年龄无法提升技能：错误，文中说“continues to improve his skill year after year”（逐年提升技能）；
  • D. 老年人登山也能享受乐趣：正确。

4. 细节理解题

题目问登山者有时要对抗什么。根据第五段“He has to fight against the forces of nature.”（他必须对抗自然力量）。

  • A. 自然力量：正确；
  • B. 互相攻击：未提及；
  • C. 其他团队：错误，登山无团队对抗；
  • D. 国际标准：未提及。

5. 主旨大意题

题目问最佳标题。文章主要介绍登山运动的特点（非游戏、团队协作、对身心要求、年龄适应性等），核心是“登山”。

  • A. 登山是运动还是游戏：仅部分内容，非主旨；
  • B. 登山与其他运动：对比是为了突出登山，非重点；
  • C. 登山：全面概括主旨；
  • D. 登山者：文章重点不是人，而是运动本身。
