Question

　　If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival（生存）. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.

Find a hiding place.

　　Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.

Signal rescuers for help.

　　The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket--gold side facing out--on the ground.

Do not walk away.

　　It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.

If you get frostbite（冻伤）, do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.

　　You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

Answer 1

答案：A;C;C
解析：

(1)由文章第二段第一句话可排除B项；C项中的find a car是针对救援人员(searchers)而言的；由文章第四段可排除D项；由第三段知，a space blanket可在求救时派上用场。故A项正确。 (2)文章第一段最后一句话排除了equipment对山中迷路者生存的重要性，故排除A项；由第二段中“You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible.”可排除B项；由第二段中的第二个句子“If you are in a snow-covered area,... for protection from the wind.”可排除D项，确定C项正确。 (3)由文章第一段最后一句话“... but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.”可知作者认为“面对恐惧”时的反应是最重要的，即“临危而不慌乱”。
