choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) to complete the statements in the questions 27 and 28. (1.5 pts.)
I do a lot of mountain hiking, not climbing, so you know I'm talking about using feet, not
ropes or pitons, to get me where I want, but my first law of relaxation is never to do a sport
where a mistake can mean death.
I recently discovered the hike of a lifetime: Cliff Trail on Vermont's highest peak, the 4,393foot (1,338-meter) Mount Mansfield. There are many ways to climb Mount Mansfield, but
Cliff Trail starts near the top, so I took a van up there. I was hiking with a local guide.
When we reached our destination, we hiked down a short path to Cliff Trail. For the rest
of the morning, instead of going ever upwards, we climbed down wooden ladders, passed
up rock faces, and crossed the side of the mountain. Besides using mostly our feet, we
used our hands to hold onto roots, arms to pull us over steep rocks, and shoulders to get
through narrow passages. Occasionally, my guide pushed and pulled me through the
difficult spots. I was both scared and excited.
We started at 10 a.m., reached the summit around 3 p.m., and stopped there for a long,
slow look at Vermont. The view was marvelous.
23. Pitons are equipment which hikers use.
F
24. The writer started his Cliff Trail hike from the bottom of Mount Mansfield. F
25. The writer and the guide went down, up and straight across the side of the mountain. T
26. The writer and the guide reached the summit in the afternoon. T
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Mount Mansfield – The Highest Peak of Vermont
B. Great Help from Local Guides
C. Mountain Climbing – A Risky Sport
D. Cliff Trail – The Hike of a Lifetime
28. What were the writer's feelings during the hike?
A. Fear and excitement
B. Worry and regret
C. Annoyance and boredom
D. Fun and tiredness
