Question

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.

試題分析：這篇短文說的是父子二人都喜歡爬山，在爬山的過程中，兩人經常進行談話，從中作者學到了很多道理。文中舉了一個具體的例子，作者從父親的話中受到了很大的啟發(fā)。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed，可知父子二人都很喜歡爬山，所以覺得爬山是快樂的，enjoyable。hard 困難的；painful 痛苦的；comfortable 舒適的。故選B。

2.詞意猜測題。根據劃線詞所在的句子the sky was as clear as crystal，填空像..一樣明澈，我們可以猜測出，只有水晶是明澈的。故選C。

3.細節(jié)理解題。文章中第二段父親有一段話，大意是：在山頂上你總是能看到美麗的填空，在到達山頂之前你看不到這個。只有在那你才能看到所有美麗的事物，就像你的生活一樣。這里父親是在鼓勵我，讓我堅持爬到山頂，所以D選項，不要在半路放棄，最符合這一段要表達的意思。故選D。

4.推理判斷題。根據最后一段I found myself standing at the top of the mountain，我發(fā)現自己站在了山頂上，這里是在比喻作者在生活中取得了成功。故選A。

5.主旨大意題。這篇短文主要說的是要努力爬到山頂，在山頂上你才能看到所有美好的事物。到達山頂還有它的深意，及生活中的成功，所以reaching the top of  the mountain 到達山頂，這個題目最能概括出文章的大意，因此最佳答案為A。
