Answer 1

21. C 解析：根据空格前面的Joe Simpson and Simon Yates wete the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande 和后面的on their way back可知，他们成 功地(successfully) 到达了山顶。

hurriedly 急急忙忙地，carefully仔细地，early早期 地，均与语境不符。

22. A解析:but (表示转折) 与前面的成功登 顶形成对比，再结合后面的Joe fell and broke his leg.可知，回来的途中形势变得 很困难(difficult) 了。

23. D解析：从空格后面的alone he would probably get back可知，他们两个人都知 道，如果西蒙一个人继续(continued) 走的 话，他可能会回去的。

24. B解析:根据空格前面的he would prob- ably get back 可知，西蒙可能会安全地 (safely) 返回营地。

unwillingly不情愿地， slowly慢慢地，regretfully后悔地，均与语 境不符。

k 25. D解析：空格后面的and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope (并试图用绳 子把乔顺到山下去) 表明，他要冒着生命 (life) 危险帮助朋友回去，这也与前面的 safely形成对比。

26. C解析：结合上一段最后一句话中的to lower Joe down可知，在他们继续往下走 的过程中(As they went down) ，天气变得 越来越糟糕。

lie躺，settle定居，look看，

均与语境不符。

27. D 解析：根据下文的Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice (峭壁) 可知，因为看不清也听不见彼此，西蒙把乔 顺到了一个峭壁边上，说明他们遇到了另外 一个麻烦(trouble) 。

damage 损害，storm 暴 风雨，change变化，均与语境不符。

28. A解析:从空格前面的They couldn’t see or hear each other (他们看不清也听不见 对方) 和空格后面的Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice (峭壁) 可知，西蒙由于失误(by mistake) 才把乔顺 到了峭壁边上。

by chance偶然地，意外 地，by choice出于自己的选择，by luck走 运地，均不符合语境。

29. D解析：结合空格前面的over the edge of a precipice (峭壁) 和空格后面的for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up 可知，乔再爬上来或者西蒙把他拽上来都 不太可能(impossible) 了。此句中含有重 要句式：It is/was + + for sb. + to do sth.。

30. B 解析：根据空格后面的was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice 可知， 正是由于乔在峭壁下面悬着，因此他的体 重(weight) 也把西蒙往峭壁下面拖拽，即 他们两个都有可能掉下峭壁而丧命。

31. A 解析：结合空格后面的after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold 和he cut the rope可知，经过在黑暗和冰 冷中一个多小时的挣扎，最终(finally) 西 蒙作出了决定。

patiently耐心地，surely肯 定地，quickly迅速地，均不符合语境。

32. C解析:根据空格后面的he cut the rope 可知，西蒙没有办法了，最终作出决定 (make a decision) ，割断了绳子，即让乔自 己掉下去，否则两个人都将摔死。

stand back 退后，take a rest 休息，hold on 抓住不放，坚持住，均与语境不符。

33. B解析:结合上文的cut the rope和空格 后面的 into a huge crevasse (裂缝) in the ice below可知，因为绳子断了，因此乔掉 下去了(fell) 。

34. A解析:空格前面的but (表明下文与前 面的“不能行走”构成转折关系) 和空格后 面的 to get out of the crevasse and started to...说明，他虽然不能走路了，但还是设 法从裂缝中出来了(managed to get out of...) ，继续朝营地挪去。

manage to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“成功做某事”。

35. C解析：根据上文的he couldn’t walk和 get out of the crevasse可知，他经过自己 的努力，从裂缝中挣扎出来，并且继续朝营地挪去(move) 。

run 跑，skate 滑冰，march 行军，均与语境不符。

36. B解析：根据空格前面的towards their camp nearly ten kilometres 可知，离营地 大约有10千米远(路程+away) 。

37. D解析:结合空格后面的the camp at the foot of the mountain可知，西蒙自己安全 返回了(returned to) 营地。

head for 出发，

前往，travel to去 旅游，leave for动身

去，均与语境不符。

38. A解析：根据上文“割断绳子，乔掉下峭壁”和空格前面的He thought that Joe must be可知，西蒙认为乔一定死了(must be dead) 

39. C解析：结合空格前面的but he didn't want to leave可知，虽然认为乔死了，但是 西蒙并不想立即(immediately) 离开营地。

secretly 秘密地，tiredly 劳累地，anxiously 焦虑地，均与语境不符。

40. B解析:根据空格前面的Three days later in the middle of the night he heard Joe's voice.(三天后，在半夜他听到了乔的声 音。) 和后面的Joe was there可知，他简直 不敢相信(believe) 。
