考点：推断题

答案：C

结合全文理解，开头讲述了Jessica的一个提问“Mum,whatdoesitmeanwhensomeonetells

youthattheyhaveaskeleton（骨骼）inthecloset（衣橱）？”引出了父母之间的争论，之后妈

妈被孩子藏在衣橱中的用来完成学校课题的骷髅吓晕过去，最后Jessica解释时说，-Imeant

totellyou,butitseemedthatassoonas1mentionedskeletonsandclosets,itcausedaproblem

betweenyouandDad.”即本想告诉妈妈衣橱里的骷髅的情况，可是每当提到骷髅和衣橱的问

题后却总会让父母之间有摩擦,然而最后真相大白,Jessica的父母都意识到了这是一个误会，

故而狂笑。故而选择C

【文章大意】在现实生活中，不管作什么事情，人人互助就能克服任何困难，甚至挽救生命。

Wellman和Corbett的经历恰好印证了这个道理。

64.WhichofthefollowingwasachallengeforCorbettinclimbingHalfDome?

A.Toclimbuptoremovethespikes.B.Toclimbittwice

C.Todo5,000pull-upsuptherope.D.Tolocktheropeinplace.

【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章可知，C项和D项是Wellman所为，因此排除。

根据第六段可知，Corbett在攀爬之中掉了下去，是Wellman及时固定住缆绳阻止住他下

落,他得再次攀爬上去，对他来说这是个最大的挑陆，因此选择B项。

65.Whydidthetwomennevertalkaboutclimbingwhen(heyfirstmet?

A.Corbettwaspoorlytrained.

B.Wellmanhadlostinterestinclimbing.

C.Corbettdidn'twanttohurtWellman.

D.Wellmanhadn'tdecidedwhethertoclimbagain.

【解析】选Co推理判断题。根据句子whenthetwomenfirstmet,theynevertalkedabout

climbing.<4IIeknewthatwashowIgotinjured."Wellmansaid^...Wellman,whoselegswere

permanentlyinjurednineyearsagoinarock-climbingaccident可知,他们没有谈论攀岩是

因为Corbett不想伤害Wellman这个残疾人的自尊。A、B、D项没有提及。

66.WhatdowcknowaboutWellman?

A.HeclimbedHalfDomebyhimself.

B.Hewasdisabledinatrafficaccident.

C.Hestoppedrock-climbingforsometime.

D.HewassavedbyCorbettduringtheclimb.

【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Wellman过了一段时间才决定再次攀岩，

「是他们二人共同训练,因此C项正确。A项课文中没有提及;B项错在inatrafficaccident,

应为inarock-climbingaccident；D项错误，应为Wellman挽救了Corbett的生命。

67.Themainideaofthetextisthat.

A.twoheadsarebetterthanone

B.friendshipispreciousinlife

C.thedisabledshouldnevergiveup

D.amancanbedestroyedbutcannotbedefeated

【解析】选B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Wellman和Corbett通过在攀岩活动中互相

帮助，战胜困难，甚至挽救生命的事迹，歌颂了友谊之珍贵，文末的Therearerealclose

tics也能说明C项正确。A项意为“一人不敌二人计”。
