Passage 1
本文主要讲述了Rebecca Stevens辞去工作离开家人去攀登珠穆朗玛峰，途中历经艰难险阻最终到达了峰顶，成为第一位登上珠峰的英国妇女。她成名之后有了一份新的好工作，有了许多钱，但仍然住在伦敦南部的那个小公寓里。她不畏困难的探险精神和艰苦朴素的优秀品质值得我们学习。
1.C.根据第一段第二句“Before she went up the highest mountain in the world， she was a journalist...”可知此题应选C。
2.B.根据第二段Rebecca辞了工作离开家人去了亚洲，文中她对登山时艰难情况的叙述，以及第三段第一句“When Rebecca reached the top of Mount Qomolangma on May 17，1993...”可知此题应选B。
3.D.Rebecca发现生活在珠穆朗玛峰上很困难的原因是原文中的“You must carry everything on your back.”故本题应选D。A项的叙述与原文意思相符但不是生活在珠峰上困难的原因；B，C两项与原文意思不符，陈述错误。
4.B.根据第四段“She has a new job too， on a science programme on television.” 可知A项错误；根据最后一段中的句子“...she has more money， but she still lives in the little flat in South London...”可知C项错误，B项正确；文中根本没涉及到Rebecca成功登上珠峰峰顶后是否再次攀登珠峰，故可知D项错误。
5.D.根据短文第三段可知Rebecca因登上珠峰峰顶而出名。
Passage 2
本文主要讲述了Mrs. Smith的儿子Teddy好赌，他把所有的钱都用在了赛马的赌场上，甚至任何东西都赌。Mrs.Smith请她的家庭医生给予帮助，这位医生自以为有办法能使Teddy 改掉好赌的恶习，Teddy却与这位医生打了一次有趣的赌，使Teddy的好赌比以前更加厉害了。
1.F.Mrs. Smith 送儿子Teddy 去看医生，是因为Teddy有好赌的恶习。
2.F.这位医生并不好赌，他与Teddy打赌是因为他认为对于Teddy而言，那是一个教给他教训的好方法。
3.T.根据医生对Mrs. Smith所说的话“I've saved many people from gambling before.Send him to me.” 可知此题正确。
4.F.由两天后Mrs. Smith 告诉医生的话 “Before he went to see you， he bet me ＄100 that you would ask him to pull your beard！” 可知Teddy想骗医生让他拽他的胡须，而从Mrs. Smith那里赢得100美元。
5.F.见第2题的解析。
6.T.因为Teddy拽了医生的胡须，所以Mrs. Smith由于打赌输了而给 Teddy 100美元，又由于Teddy拽了医生的胡须说明胡须是真的，故Teddy要输给医生50美元。由此可见Teddy和医生各得50美元。
7.F.见第2题解释。
8.F.根据最后一段可知：这位医生非但没治好Teddy 好赌的恶习，而且使Teddy赌得更厉害了。
Passage 3
本文记叙了一位中央电视台的记者随登山队一起攀登珠穆朗玛峰，以便于对登山队登珠峰情况能及时报道。文章主要回顾了50年来登山者对珠峰的攀登情况，表现了登山者不畏险阻，勇于迎接挑战，永不言弃的探险精神。
1.A. 此处问句的意思为“有多少人成功地登上了（珠穆朗玛峰）峰顶？”根据短文第三段中的句子“During the past 50 years， more than 10，000 men and women tried to get to the top， but only 1，200 have made their dreams come true.”可知只有1200人实现了他们的梦想，即登上峰顶。
2.C. 根据第三段中对珠峰恶劣条件的描述 “...because the climbers have to face the terrible cold and avalanches， and some other difficulties.”可知登山运动员会遇到可怕的寒冷和雪崩，再根据实际情况还可能遇到mist， strong wind， falling ice。
3.B. 根据第三段最后一句“We Chinese climbers first showed our national flag to the world on the top of the mountain in 1960.” 可知：中国登山队于1960年首次登上珠峰峰顶。
4.D. 这是一道句子理解题，根据这个句子的前句“On the way to the top they may lose their lives at any time.”可知黑体部分的句子应理解为“据报道175名登山运动员不得不永远留在那儿。”即175名登山运动员献出了生命。
5.D. 综合分析短文内容可知：作者赞扬了登山运动员热爱大自然，勇于迎接挑战，永不言弃的精神。
