阿盟一中2016－2017学年度第一学期期中试题 高三年级英语试卷 第I卷 （满分70分） 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、CD)中,选出最佳选项。 A People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb，you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet. 　How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness(保护带)around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high，and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top. 　Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger. 1.What can we infer from the passage? A.
