(2017·安徽黄山模拟)Being afraid of heights, I hate climbing any high places. But I made it weeks ago. Most of our classmates had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru. After having lunch, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.

Do I turn back? Yes! Will I regret it later? I really want to get to the top, but ... At last, I decided at least to have a try.

My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly, he slipped and was about 10 feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster.

My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly gained_ground.

Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical (垂直). To me, the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! I'm right here，” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a few deep breaths and kept climbing.

With no more mistakes, we came to the top finally. I was dirty and tired. But it didn't matter. I was at the top! I had never felt so alive.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。由于恐高，作者讨厌爬任何高的地方；但是在几周前，她在朋友的鼓励和帮助下，成功地爬到了某一高处，虽然很累，但是她感觉很开心。

D．made their climb near a beautiful beach village

5．The underlined part “gained ground” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”． A．moved forward C．gave up

B．climbed to the top D．rested on the ground

解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“With friends helping me by words and actions”和最后一段中的“we came to the top finally”可推断出，在朋友的语言和行动帮助下，作者开始往前走了，所以推测出“gained ground”的意思应为“往前移动”。故选A。

C

We have a real crisis in this country in the basic understanding of science. It affects our global competitiveness as a country, our national security, and the effectiveness of our social system. The misunderstanding about science is blinding our eyes.

We know that an awful lot of teachers who are teaching science today have not been properly empowered to do so. School frequently isn't testing whether you understand something but whether you're familiar with it. What's Newton's second law? You say F＝ma, and you get an A. That does not reflect a deep understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Science education is not just a body of facts; it's a process. To present it with appeal and excitement you need to picture it as a detective story — asking questions, making observations, and collecting evidence. You test and you fail but, you know, failure can lead to discovery.

Another challenge we face is that science is often viewed as too hard, for experts only. But I don't actually think it's that difficult. People see science every day. They look outside and see weather and nature. They push a button in their house and the lights go on. Everybody is dealing with science every day. They just don't call it that. And it's important they do. In fact, science is determining the quality and outcomes of their life.

Science needs creativity. And one of the best ways to be creative is to think “out of the box”. However, we need more courage when we come to practice. Take me for example. Very early in my teens I decided to educate myself. I realized I would never be a very good student because I didn't like teachers judging me by what I thought were arbitrary (主观臆断的) standards. I decided I'd let the world judge me by whether I could do something of value — solve a problem or build something. That's why I quit school early and risked everything to start a company. I risked everything I had because I had nothing to lose. I'd rather fail at trying to do something really big than succeed at being medium.

“When's the right age to think creatively？” you may ask. I'd say in the womb (母腹)! Kids don't have anxieties about trying to avoid failure. They are full of imagination and much more willing to fail. Just watch a 3-year-old. They touch everything, and if it hurts they don't touch it

again. They learn everything at a breathtaking rate. Start to think out of the box as early as you can, because it's more likely to take you to places that you can't predict, schedule and budget for. Do all that when you can bear the insecurity.
