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 D 　　 The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness ． 　　 As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings ． Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms ． 　　 These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s ． He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience ． 　　 A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week ． What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975 ． Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates ． The effect is striking ． Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards ． 　　 The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness ． A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at ． 1 ． According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means______ ． 　　 A ． to pull down hospital buildings B ． to decorate hospitals with art collections C ． to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals D ． to make the corners of hospital buildings round 2 ． According to Peter Senior, _______ ． A ． art is not as important in people’s daily life as in hospital B ． art galleries should be changed into hospitals C ． patients should be encouraged to learn painting D ． art should be encouraged in British hospitals 3 ． After the improvement of the hospital environment, _______ ． A ． patients no longer need expensive drugs in their recovery B ． patients are less dependent on expensive drugs in their recovery C ． patients need good-quality drugs in their recovery D ． patients use fewer pain killers in their recovery than before 4 ． The fact that Senior is in great demand shows that_______ ． A ． Peter's enterprise is developing greatly B ． Peter Senior enjoys great popularity C ． he is a talented hospital artist D ． the role of hospital environment is being recognized
