五、阅读理解
That year I was eleven and in the sixth grade. In Wethersfield, all sixth-graders are required to take part in the ROPE Programme. Its main idea is to learn the spirit of trusting your peers and cooperating(合作) with others. These programmes include falling backwards(向后) and trusting peers to catch you, working together and something of that kind.
I was ready to take part in these activities. Falling backwards was nothing to me. Crossing over a river with nothing holding me up but a rope was difficult, but I could manage it.
Finally the day came when my sixth grade class would travel to climb and rappel(绕绳滑下) a mountain. Those people who were too frightened(惊恐的) were allowed to practise climbing and rappelling a smaller area of rocks, but that wasn't for me. I could climb the big mountain.
▲ As I was well prepared, I set off at once. I got a quarter of the way up but couldn't seem to get any farther. I tried and tried. I began to put myself down and cry. There was nothing more awkward(令人尴尬的) than my classmates were looking at me.
All I kept hearing was “Lisa, you can do it.” “Try to fit your foot in there. Come on, Lisa. You’re almost there.”
Almost immediately I went on going up the mountain. Within five minutes I successfully made it to the top. And at that time I finally understood the main idea of the programme—to work together and believe your peers. They are the people who can help you out when you get stuck and lose direction.

做这类阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每个问题回原文定位分析。第1题是细节理解题，直接定位ROPE项目的主要目的；第2题是句子还原题，需联系空格前后的上下文逻辑；第3题是主旨大意题，需概括全文核心内容。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第一段“Its main idea is to learn the spirit of trusting your peers and cooperating with others”，可知ROPE项目的主要目的是帮助学生学会信任同伴和合作，对应选项D；A选项“提高体育测试成绩”、B选项“参加更多户外活动”、C选项“获得面对困难的勇气”均不符合原文表述。
2. 句子还原题：空格前提到“I could climb the big mountain”，空格后提到“As I was well prepared, I set off at once”，说明空格处应衔接“开始任务”的相关内容，选项C“Twenty minutes later, it was time for me to start the task”符合上下文逻辑；A选项“同学惊讶看我”、B选项“找到方向”、D选项“太害怕爬不到顶”均不符合语境。
