Question

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging(挑戰(zhàn)) for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

【解析】

試題分析：作者介紹了小時候經(jīng)常與父親去爬山，父親說：你可以在山頂看到美麗的天空，但是到頂峰之前，你看不到它。就像你的生活一樣，只有到達(dá)頂峰，你才能看到美麗的風(fēng)景。但是后來父親很忙，也沒有體會到爬山的樂趣。但是作者長大以后，深深地體會了這句話的哲理。

1. the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.”可知，因為“我”的父親很忙，沒有足夠的時間在一起，也沒有了爬山時的快樂。結(jié)合選項對于他們父子來說爬山是快樂的。Hard 艱難的；Enjoyable快樂的，painful疼痛的；comfortable舒適的。故選B

2. the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing.”可知，在爬山開始的幾個小時，作者欣賞著花朵和樹木，聽鳥的歌唱，但是隨著時間的流逝，作者的腿開始疼痛。所以作者這是想要停下來，放棄。Carry on執(zhí)行；put off推遲；give up放棄；pick up撿起來。故選C。
