Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, 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 men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in 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, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which 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 with 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. There are, it is true, 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 forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

1.The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.

A. strong emotion B. good way

C. better feeling D. enough affection

2.Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.

A. it has man-made rules

B. it is too dangerous for climbers

C. it can’t bring people joy or leisure

D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods

3.We know from the passage that _______.

A. mountaineering has no appeal for people

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

C. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty

D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Sports in winter

B. Team work in climbing

C. Mountaineering

D. The quality for mountaineering

 

1.A

2.D

3.D

4.C

【解析】

試題分析:這篇文章主要講了登山運動。登山是一項運動,而不是比賽,因為登山者可以自由選擇他們自己的方法登山。

1.】A猜詞題。根據(jù)Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains?可猜出“passion”意思是熱情。

2.】D細節(jié)題。根據(jù)Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.可知登山是一項運動,而不是比賽,因為登山者可以自由選擇他們自己的方法登山。

3.】D細節(jié)題。根據(jù)But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.可知五六十歲的人也可能登上阿爾卑斯山。

Bringing art into hospitals

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in helping patients to get better.

As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country's best artists have been called in to change 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 very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent movements first started by 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(觀眾).

A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What a 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(形象) 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 gardens 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.Some best artists of Britain have been called in to ________

A. set up new hospitals

B. make the corners of the hospital collect paintings

C. Bring art into hospitals

D. help patients recover form serious illnesses

2. After the improvement of the hospital environment, _________

A. patients no longer take drugs to kill their pains

B. patients don’t have to stay long in hospital

C. patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illness

D. patients feel happy in hospital

3. It can be inferred from the passage that _________

A. the role of hospital environment is important

B. hospital artists have done more than doctors

C. exhibitions attract more audience in hospitals

D. the hospital is a better place for people
