阅读下面四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　In the September of my gap year, I left school to take a semester-long outdoor leadership course run by the National Outdoor Leadership School(NOLS)in the region of South America called Patagonia．The concept of the course is to give students a chance to really develop both outdoor skills and life skills．The NOLS does an amazing job in designing their courses so that students get a full range of experiences from which they can learn many new things．

　　We spent the first part of our semester obtaining our Wilderness First Responder certificates．This involved a 10-day, 80-hour, EMT taught course at the NOLS base camp in Patagonia．We learned many medical skills that all could be applied to everyday environments as well as the wilderness we were about to enter．After the first part of the semester, we set off on a 30-day sea expedition along the coast of the southern tip of Chile．During this expedition we learned a lot of useful skills for our future life．What excited me most was to see a large glacier(冰川)pouring right out into the sea．It was unlike anything I had ever seen, and the satisfaction of reaching such a remote place all with my own power was amazing．

　　The next part of our semester was another 30-day expedition traveling through the Andes mountain range of southern Chile and Argentina．Again we learned many technical outdoor skills and some great life skills, such as how to be effective leaders and how to function as a single group．The highlight of this part was being able to ice climb on a glacier using anchors and ropes that we set up ourselves．

　　The final part of the NOLS semester was a 10-day small group expedition．This was an opportunity for us to get into small groups of 4 or 5 and put all the skills we had developed over the course．We planned our own routes, prepared our own clothes and equipment, and implemented our plans without the help of instructors．It was a great sense of achievement to be out there on our own and ensure safety with our own knowledge．I really enjoyed my first experience of my gap year!

(1)

What is the outdoor leadership course in the NOLS mainly about?
[　　]
A．	Giving students different experiences．

On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（枫树）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars’（杨树）putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
【小题1】What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A．The scenes are colorful and changeable.

B．There are many windows in the wooden house.

【小题2】By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that ______ .

A．the kids like playing in trees

B．The seasons make the scenes change.

C．The weather often changes in the forest.

D．The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.

Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22^nd---Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived (幸免于) a fall of over 500 feet on the 25,530-foot mountain in Pakistan, Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge(悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers, “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2,000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall. We’re thankful that we survived.”
When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape(九死一生), the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”

the snow-covered ledge, _____.

A．they wouldn’t have fallen down	B．they would have them wounded
