Question

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 1 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 2 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (鐘愛) ever since--- 3 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 4.
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 5, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 6 me why visitors started respecting the place 7 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 8 trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would 9an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 10 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 11about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 12. On that day, more than 300 people 13. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 14. I couldn’t believe the 15 we made ---the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 16 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 17 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 18 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 19. You can’t blame others 20 you start with yourself.

Answer 1

作者把“優(yōu)勝美地國家公園（美國加州最著名的旅游景點）”當做自己家一樣愛上了它。當作者看到公園里面有大量垃圾時，開始是自己去撿，后來組織大家去撿。由此作者明白了這樣的道理：改變事情的方法是動手去做，而不是抱怨。
1.根據(jù)3300 feet 和 giant得知巨大的rock，所以選擇huge。
2.根據(jù)句意“我觸摸到那塊巨石時，立刻知道我要攀登上去”選A項“立刻”
3.根據(jù)上文的climb選擇答案。
4.根據(jù)下文第二段的尾句“treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.”中的home。
5.根據(jù)like toilet paper，beer cans，empty boxes，知道是垃圾（廢棄物），選擇waste。
6.超越了我的理解，只有beyond可以表示這個含義。句意：我不能理解游客為什么不愛護這個地方……。
7.根據(jù)上文得知，人們很少關(guān)心環(huán)境。
8.根據(jù)上文對游客丟垃圾的不解，于是自己盡力去撿垃圾。pick up表示撿起，throw away表示扔掉，break down表示損壞，dig out表示挖掘
9.撿垃圾的工作量很大，作者往往要花費一兩個小時去做。
10.根據(jù)上文“only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later.結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)幾個星期后這個地區(qū)又是滿地垃圾”和下文“I decided something had to change.（我決定改變一些方法）”推斷作者對自己一個人撿垃圾已經(jīng)感到力不從心即疲憊了。tired of表示對……厭煩，satisfied with表示對……感到滿意，delighted in表示以……為快樂，used to表示過去常常
11.后文but說明前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，后面說作者舉辦的活動很成功，那么前面應(yīng)選擇“nothing”說明作者不知道如何組織大型活動。
12.根據(jù)下文“Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere.”中的“cleanup”可以知道是“清掃”工作。
13.根據(jù)下一句“Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash.三天時間我們清理了6,000磅的垃圾”可以知道“那天有300多人參加（出席）了這次活動”。 show up表示出席，drop out表示離開，look around表示四下觀望，call back表示回電話
14.“我們”能做完這么多工作真是令人驚訝。A要求；B收到；C完成；D戰(zhàn)勝。
15.根據(jù)破折號后面的“the park looked clean!”可知，我們把公園里的垃圾撿完了，公園干凈了，變得跟以前不一樣了，作者難以置信。make difference造成差別。
16.cover表示覆蓋了132英里的路程。A穿過；B測量；D設(shè)計。句意：就2007年一年，2,945 人撿起了42,330磅的垃圾，覆蓋了132英里的路程。
17.根據(jù)33空后的“complaining”可知答案。句意：我常常聽到人們抱怨他們周圍的環(huán)境。
18.改變事情的唯一方法是動手去做，而不是抱怨。
19.by example通過榜樣。
20.你不要責備別人，除非你以身作則，選擇unless。
