Choose the best answer for each statement from the three choices marked A, B and C.Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering. These 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 a risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities to which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for such as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it 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 their own methods.If we contrast mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no “matches”between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, obviously, there is teamwork.1.( ) Mountaineering in a blizzard(暴风雪) needs a lot of courage.A.

Stepping on a burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire.Many fires are put out with water; water cools the material that is burning. It helps smother a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The steam shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out.Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fire extinguishers. Suppose a tank full of gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water and would keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.1.
