Ⅰ卷专练(五)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Earlier this month，two rock climbers achieved what many thought impossible：They climbed up the 3,000-foot-high Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park without specialized
equipment.Climbing
without
this
equipment
is
called“free-climbing.”Until now，no one had free-climbed to the top of the rock face，which is a part of the mountain EI Capitan.
El Capitan，which means “the captain” or “the chief” in Spanish，has always presented a challenge to climbers.But the Dawn Wall，on the mountain’s southeast face，is a particularly difficult route to the summit(顶峰)．It is a rock formation that is both steep and relatively smooth.This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.
About seven years ago，professional climber Tommy Caldwell spotted a possible route up the wall.It took years of planning and preparation，but this month，Caldwell,36，and his friend Kevin Jorgeson,30，finally make the climb.
Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall—and Caldwell and Jorgeson fell often.Before starting their climb，they broke down their route into 32 sections.Each section was based on a rope length called a “pitch”．The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell.
Caldwell and Jorgeson’s goal was to climb the Dawn Wall without returning to the ground.If they fell，they had to start that pitch all over again.The two men started climbing on December 27.They slept in hanging tents，and a team of friends brought them food each day.
The men had spent years rehearsing(排练) the movements it would take to get through each pitch.They made it through the fist half of the climb relatively easily.But halfway up，Jorgeson ran into trouble.In one difficult spot，he fell each time he attempted to climb.After 10 days of trying，Jorgeson finally made it to the next pitch.
Getting through that troublesome pitch gave both climbers renewed energy.They finished the rest of the climb five days later，on January 14.
语篇解读 本文讲述了Jorgeson和Caldwell在没有专业装备的情况下成功攀登the Dawn Wall的故事。
1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain? A．Why the Dawn Wall is a hard challenge. B．Why people prefer climbing El Capitan. C．How to free-climb the Dawn Wall. D．How El Capitan got its name. 答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据第二段最后两句“It is a rock formation that is both steep and relatively smooth.This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.”可知the Dawn Wall的岩石很陡峭也很光滑，这种情况让自由攀登变得不可能。本段主要是在说明为什么自由攀登这样的一座山峰似乎是不可能的任务。故A正确。 2．To climb Yosemite’s Dawn Wall，Caldwell and Jorgeson . A．received one year’s training B．chose the nearest route C．made thoughtful preparations D．used special equipment 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第六段第一句“The men had spent years rehearsing(排练) the movements it would take to get through each pitch.”他们已经对本次攀登进行了多年的排练。说明他们做了充分的准备工作。故C正确。
3．What can we learn about this world’s toughest climb? A．It includes 32 different routes. B．It is also the world’s highest climb. C．It was once completed by Caldwell 7 years ago. D．It took the two climbers 19 days to get to the top. 答案 D
解析 数字计算题。根据第五段倒数第二句“The two men started climbing on December 27.”和全文最后一句“They finished the rest of the climb five days later，on January 14.”可知他们是在12月27日开始攀登的，在1月14日结束。所以一共用了19天的时间。故D正确。
4．Which of the following words can best describe Jorgeson? A．Proud but patient. B．Cautious and friendly. C．Brave and determined.
D．Imaginative but half-hearted. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知the Dawn Wall是一个巨大的挑战，但是Jorgeson和Caldwell却在没有专业装备的情况下攀登成功，这说明他们很勇敢。再根据第六段最后三句可知他经历了多次失败，但并没有气馁，经过10多天的尝试以后，最后取得成功。说明他意志坚定。故C项正确。 Ⅱ.七选五
How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science，you need a lot more than luck.In my view，you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward.Thus，these have come to be my rules for success.
? 5
That might sound proud，but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself.It’s like playing any game.Even as a child，I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was.If you win，it gives you no pleasure.And in the game of science or life，the highest goal isn’t simply to win；it’s to win at something really difficult. 6
?Take risks
To make a huge success，a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble.If you are going to make a huge jump in science，you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. 7 This can be more than personally upsetting.
?Never do anything that bores you.
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things，and then leave you alone.I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. 8
It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists—you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you.And you have to chat with your competitors，even if you find them objectionable.
So my final rule is： 9
A．Meet challenges with great courage.
B．If you can’t stand to be with your real peers，get out of science.
C．Put another way，it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top. D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess. E．Avoid foolish people.
F．In fact，I find it hard to do well in something I like.
G．Besides，you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes. 语篇解读 本文属于说明文，主要介绍的是在科学研究方面如何取得成功的三个建议。 5．答案 E
解析 根据本段第一句可知我们要向比我们更聪明的人求助；再根据第三句即使在我小的时候，我也不愿意和同我一样糟糕的人玩耍。所以，要想成功，我们就要避开那些愚蠢的人。故E正确。 6．答案 C
解析 根据横线前一句知在科学中，最高的目标不是简单的获胜，而是战胜困难。也就是达到超越你本身能力的程度，达到人生的巅峰。所以C项是横线前一句的另外一个说法。故C项符合上下文串联。 7．答案 G
解析 根据横线前一句可知，如果你想在科学方面取得飞跃，你可能要不走寻常路。要有质疑精神，不要迷信以前的成功者。历史上很多成功者都是这样的。所以选G项“Besides，you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.”你甚至要准备好不相信心目中的英雄人物。G项还与横线后一句“This can be more than personally upsetting.”相一致。 8．答案 F
解析 根据横线前一句可知，作者并不喜欢做自己不喜欢的事情。但是要想把自己喜欢做的事情做好也不容易。所以F项“In fact，I find it hard to do well in something I like.”正确。 9．答案 B
解析 根据前一段第一、二句可知，如果你不想和同伴一起努力，那么你就很难会成功。这和B项“If you can’t stand to be with your real peers，get out of science.”内容一致，文章最后两段形成了呼应。 Ⅲ.完形填空
I first got to know Rose while working in a hospital kitchen.
When I arrived at 6 a．m.，Rose was already there.“Hi，I’m Janet.” I tried to be 10 ，although I already knew Rose was hard to work with.Rose 11 what she was doing and looked over her reading glasses.I could tell from her 12 that she wasn’t delighted to see a student worker. 13 ，I started to work.However，nothing I did 14 her.All morning her eagle eyes missed 15 and she was very sharp with me.
Totally discouraged，I was 16 with a dilemma(困境)：should I ask my director
