阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activities. 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 activities 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

A. it has man-made rules

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

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you need a guy to help you with something, there are ways that will help you.
Find the right person to ask for help.
1 For example, if you need someone to look after your house while you are away for a month, don’t select a person who has a wife and kids and can’t possibly leave them to help you.
2
Even if it’s a small favor, try to find a place that has some privacy (私密性). This is especially important if you’re asking for help that you don’t want someone else to hear, such as borrowing money from him.
Use special words to set the table so that he knows you’re in need.
3 Or words such as "I really need your help" are OK. These words give him the chance to understand that he can be of help.
Ask for help in a clear way that expresses what you need, and the reason why you need it.
For example, if you’re asking him to take you to the airport, tell him when you need him to arrive. If you’re borrowing money from him, say the amount and the reason why you need the money. 4
Ask for help in such a way that you give him the chance to refuse.
5 If you don’t give him that choice, he may feel as if it’s something he has to do instead of something he wants to do.
A. Find the right place to ask him.
B. Be a kind person who always helps others.
C. The person must have the ability to help you.
D. Besides, you should tell him when you will give it back.
E. You can say, "I’m really in trouble. Can you help me?"
F. It can be difficult to find the right words to tell what you need.
G. Make it clear that you completely understand if he can’t help you.

第一处:so→ and/but 考查连词。根据句意,这里并不表示因果关系,而是并列关系。
第二处:calling→ called 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,这里指她被叫做,故用called。
第三处:before→ ago 考查副词。由本句中的met为一般过去时可知时间状语用ago。
第四处:where→ that / which或删除where 考查定语从句的连接词。先行词是class,从句中缺少宾语,所以需要使用关系词that / which;又因为充当宾语可以省略,所以也可以直接去掉where。
第九处:helps→ help 考查名词。help是不可数名词,没有复数形式。
第十处:growing→ grown 考查非谓语动词。助动词have之后需要使用过去分词形式,构成完成时态。
