It may be mountaineering.These who have a passion (1) climbing high and difficult mountains are often (2) with astonishment. Why are men and women (3) to suffer cold and hardship, and to (4) on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity (5) which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made roles, as there are for (6) games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to (7) ,but it is this freedom from man-made rules (8) makesmountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own (9) .If we (10) mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is (11) mountaineering is not a" team work". We should be mistaken in this.

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础练习精品题（38）及答案阅读理解C“It was amazing，just impressive,” Holly Budge, a 29—year-old British woman，said after making a safe landing at a spot 12,350 feet （3，765 metres）above sea level - the highest “drop zone” achieved by a parachutist (跳伞者)。

“We had one minute of freefall and while we were above the clouds you could see Everest and the other high mountains popping out of the top，” she said.Ms Budge and her two fellow daredevils，Wendy Smith，from New Zealand, and Neil Jones，from Canada，jumped out of an aircraft at about 29，500 feet, just higher than the peak of the world's highest mountain。

They fell at speeds reaching 140mph，past the highest ridges of the snow-covering Himalayas，before each released a parachute (降落伞)。

The jumpers wore oxygen masks to keep their lungs working as they fell. Wearing neoprene underwear（内衣) was compulsory — to prevent them from being frozen to death。
