山东东营市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解精练（2）及答案 阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项（A、B、、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely hard and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally difficult sports. Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb. Rock climbing may sound a bit too challenging for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing practice. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and you’re your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles. 【文章大意】本文讲述的是攀岩这项运动，它是一项很难的运动，不仅体现在身体上还体现在智力上。据说攀岩75%靠腿力25%靠臂力，要想成功地攀岩还需要完美的技巧。 56.
