19、et back 可知,这里指如果 Simon 一个人继续往回走的话。4.B Simon 是有可能独自安全 (safely)返回的。5.D 但是 Simon 决定冒生命危险用绳子将 Joe 放到山下去。risk ones life 意为“ 冒生命危险”。6.C 当他们下降(go down)时,天气越发恶劣起来。lie down 躺下;settle down 安顿下来;look down 俯视。7.D 根据下文可推断出,这里指又一件麻烦事(trouble)发生了。8.A 根据上文“ 他们既看不到彼此也听不到彼此的声音”推断,这里指 Simon 错将 Joe 放到了峭壁的边缘。A:错误地;B:偶然地
20、;C:出于自己的选择;D: 侥幸。9.D 根据下文可知,Simon 最终割断了绳子,由此推断:Joe 爬上来或是 Simon 把他拉上来是不可能了。10.B Joe 的体重(weight) 正慢慢将 Simon 拽向峭壁。 A:高度;C:力量;D:设备。11.A 终于(Finally),在黑暗与彻骨的寒冷中挣扎一个多小时之后,Simon 不得不作出抉择。B:耐心地;C: 必定 ;D:迅速地。12.C 根据下文“Simon 流着泪割断了绳索”可知,这就是他作出的决定(make a decision)。13.B 割断绳子后,Joe 落入(fall into)冰层下面的一个巨大的裂缝中。14.A 根
21、据下文 started to.towards their camp 可推断出 ,Joe 设法离开了那个裂缝。manage to do 意为“做成;设法完成”。15.C 根据上文“He couldnt walk” 可推断出,move(移动,挪动)一词最符合语境。16.B 营地离此处将近 10 公里远。副词 away 表示 “在(某距离)处”。17.D Simon 已经返回(return to) 山脚下的营地。A:前往;B:去(旅行);C:动身去。18.A 根据文章最后一句中 still alive 可推断出,Simon 原以为 Joe 一定是死了。19.C 根据下文时间状语 Three days later 可推断出 ,这里指 Simon 并未立即(immediately)离开营地。20.B 三天后的夜里,Joe 竟然奇迹般地活着回到了营地,这当然是令 Simon 难以置信的,故答案选 B。
