一、完形填空

Last year, my friend and I went on a backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We planned to 1 the John Muir Trail(小径), which runs 211 miles through the mountains, for three days. We knew that the view would be fantastic, but we never expected(预料) to 2 a person that would teach us a valuable lesson.
We saved up our money for months to buy what we needed for the trip. I bought a new sleeping bag, a 3 big enough for four people to stay in, and lots of useful camping tools. But we brought too much with us. Our packs were so 4 that it made our first two days on the trail really hard. So we failed(失败) to 5 the view. However, our journey didn't stop.
On our 6 day on the trail, we met an elderly man who was walking alone. His name was Bernie. He 7 had a simple and light backpack with him. We wondered 8 he had so little with him. He said that was because the more we brought 9 us, the less we could enjoy the scenery. He told us his backpack was from his army days fifty years ago! We stayed in the tent while he just 10 under a tree at night. And if a wild animal came too close, Bernie said, he would 11 rocks and throw at it to scare it away. Through conversations, we were really 12 to learn that he was actually finishing his second hike of the trail at the age of 78! He showed us that age was just a 13.
No matter how beautiful the place you visit, it's the person you meet that you will remember the most. I learned something 14 from Bernie: to have a wonderful trip, what you bring is not so important. An open and positive(积极的) mind 15! Next time, I'll go on a trip with a light backpack.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者背着沉重的背包徒步旅行时，遇到一位轻装上阵的 78 岁老人。作者从老人那里学习到，要度过一次美好的旅行，拥有开放和积极的心态很重要。

【分析】
做完形填空时，首先通读全文把握主旨（本文讲述作者徒步旅行时遇到轻装旅行的老人，收获关于旅行的感悟）；然后逐空结合语境、词义辨析、固定搭配及上下文逻辑关系分析选项；最后通读验证答案是否符合文意。
【解析】
1. 选A。根据前文“backpacking trip（背包旅行）”可知，此处指徒步旅行约翰·缪尔小径，hike（徒步旅行）符合语境。
2. 选D。句意：我们预料不到会遇到一个能给我们上宝贵一课的人，meet（遇到）符合文意。
3. 选B。根据后文“stayed in the tent”可知，此处指买了一个帐篷，tent（帐篷）正确。
4. 选B。前文提到带太多东西，所以背包很重，heavy（重的）符合逻辑。
5. 选C。背包太重导致无法欣赏风景，enjoy（欣赏）与view搭配，符合语境。
6. 选C。前文提到计划三天旅行，前两天因背包重困难，所以是第三天遇到老人，third（第三）正确。
7. 选A。老人只有简单轻便的背包，only（只，仅）符合对比语境。
8. 选B。我们想知道他为什么带这么少东西，why（为什么）引导宾语从句，符合文意。
9. 选A。句意：随身带的东西越多，越不能享受风景，along with（随同，随身携带）正确。
10. 选D。晚上老人睡在树下，slept（睡觉）对应前文作者睡帐篷的对比。
11. 选A。遇到野兽时捡起石头扔走，pick up（捡起）符合动作逻辑。
12. 选D。得知78岁的老人还在完成小径徒步，我们很惊讶，surprised（惊讶的）正确。
13. 选C。年龄只是个数字，number（数字）对应78岁的年龄，符合文意。
14. 选B。从老人那里学到了有意义的东西，meaningful（有意义的）符合语境。
