22、move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass . The ground is white. The day is June 10 .

23、ughest country in the West . Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo . Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports . He has agreed to take me across the toughest , middle section of the trail. When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass , 140 miles sout

24、h of Missoula , on Aug . 12 , 1805 , he was astonished by what was in front of him ; “ high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow. ” Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed , with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachian

25、s back East. Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled , for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures:the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a

26、sacred （ 神圣的 ）gift . It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it. The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September . Our luck is holding with the weather , although the snow keeps getting deeper . As we climb to Indian Post Office , the highest point on the trail at 7,0

27、33 ft , we have covered 13 miles in soft snow , and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner . After a meal of chicken , I sit on a rock on top of the ridge （ 山 脊） .There is no light visible in any direction , not even another campfire . For four days we do not see another human being . We are oc

28、cupied with the things that mix fear with joy . In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark. 1. We learn from the text that before 1805 _ . A. The Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snow B . there were no people living in the western part of America C . no Americans knew

29、of the existence of the Rocky Mountains D . the Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States 2. We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass _ .

30、 large number of tourists to visit 3. Judging from the text , Lewis and Clark were most probably A. two native Indians _ B . explorers of the early 19th century C . merchants who did business with the Indians D . travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass 4. We can infer from the text th

31、at when crossing the Lolo Pass the author A. was attempting the impossible B . was trying to set a world record C . was following the trail of Lewis and Clark D . was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risks 6. Is any economist so dull as to criticise Christmas? At first glance , the holid

32、ay season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries ( 奇想) as GDP growth . After all , everyone is spending ; in America , retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas . Even so , economiwsts find something to wor

33、ry about in the nature of the purchases being made. Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others . At the simplest level , giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient would like - he tries to guess her preferences , as economists say - and then buying the gift and

34、 delivering it . Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy ; indeed , it is often done badly . Every year , ties go unworn and books unread . And even if a gift is enjoyed , it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves. Interested in this mismatch betw

35、een wants and gifts , in 1993 Joel Waldfogel , then an economist at Yale University , sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms . In a research , he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season:first , estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts yo

36、u received ; second , apart from the sentimental value of the items , if you did not have them , how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy : on average , a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver. In addition , recipients may not know t

37、heir own preferences very well . Some of the best gifts , after all , are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying , but which turn out to be especially well picked . And preference can change . So by giving a jazz CD , for example , the giver may be encouraging the recipient to

38、enjoy something that was ignored before . This , a desire to build skills , is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their childrens desires for video games and buy them books instead. Finally , there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase . If someone else buy

39、s them , however , they can be enjoyed guilt- free . This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays . Thus , the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentime

40、ntal value. 1. The word “ sentimental ” in Paragraph 3 is close to a ” A. intelligent B . emotional C . social D . practical 2. According to the text , which of the following statements is TRUE?

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text? A. The gift-giver tries to neglect the actual needs of the receiver. B . The best gifts are well p

42、icked by the givers. C . In gift-giving , guessing preference is often a failure , so its the thought that counts. D . You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift. 4. The text is most likely taken from a _ . A. users handbook B . medical journal C . travel magazine _ D . consumer-re

46、aiting in lines and more time having fun. Go in the afternoon. 5. .For example, Hersheypark s sunset tickets allow entry after 4 pm or 5 pm, depending on the day.
