阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。

Most young people 31 some form of 32 activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating, or skiing. It may be a game of some kind—football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.(登山运动)

Those who have a 33 for climbing high and difficult mountains are often 34 with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to 35 cold and hardship, and to take 36 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the 37 between mountaineering and other forms of activity 38 which men 39 their leisure (空闲的) time.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, 40 there are for such games as golf and football. There are, 41 rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from manmade rules 42 makes mountaineering 43 to many people. Those who climb mountains are 44 to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and 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 45 by a rope 46 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 47.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis 48 are in their early twenties. 49 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 probably climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly 50 equal enjoyment.

31. A. please B. play C. get D. enjoy

32. A. physical B. mental C. joy D. pleasant

33. A. feeling B. thirst C. possession D. position

34. A. looked down B. looked out C. looked upon D. looked round

35. A. suffer B. observe C. enjoy D. stare at

36. A. danger B. pains C. risks D. efforts

37. A. difference B. distance C. similarity D. relationship

38. A. into B. at C. for D. to

39. A. draw B. spend C. devote D. spare

40. A. as B. and C. or D. so

41. A. sometimes B. however C. of course D. therefore

42. A. which B. that C. what D. whatever

43. A. satisfying B. tiresome C. terrifying D. attractive

A

Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.

He works for a small firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards(信用卡).

David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels(普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs, ” he said.

“I suppose ￡35, 000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡20 a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working.

“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school, ” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

C. he is clever and works hard at his lessons

D. he had learnt to use computers at school

54. He left school after taking six O-levels because _______.

A. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing

55. Why does David think he might retire early?

A. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well

B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire

C. One has to be young to write computer programs

D. He thinks his firm might close down

B

When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled by knocks and words.
