W: How was your trip to the Grand Canyon?
M: It was excellent! We spent five days hiking along the Colorado River and exploring the side canyons. It was great to get out of the city and back to nature.
W: I have only been to the Grand Canyon on a day trip. Did you need to make any special preparations to camp at the bottom?
M: We wanted to get into the back country away from the tourists, so we had to get a wilderness permit.
W: Was that difficult?
M: No. We just went to the ranger station and told them what we wanted to do. They talked to us about where we wanted to go and how long we wanted to stay. They are really just trying to make sure that you know what you are doing and that you have the proper gear. They also give you information on the various trails through the park and educate you about wildlife and park conditions. From what I understand, every year tourists get sick or die from dehydration. The park officials want to make sure that you have a good canteen full of water before you leave.
W: I know what you mean. People often try to do these things without first educating themselves about the dangers. Last year, I went to Nepal with some friends. We trekked to the base of Mount Everest. I had read that altitude sickness was a real problem, so I hired a local porter to help carry things to the higher elevations. Despite the thin air, one of my friends tried m carry his stuff by himself, and he ended up getting really sick. I guess it pays to know what you are doing.

选项 A、Because she had too many things with her.
B、Because she was sick.
C、Because she was quite lazy.
D、Because she didn’t want to get sick at high altitudes.

答案D

解析 Why did the woman hire a local porter to help her carry things when she was in Nepal?
综合推断题。女士最后描述了自己在尼泊尔的经历,她知道高原反应确实是个问题,所以她雇了当地的行李搬运工帮自己把东西抬到高海拔地区,也就是说她雇搬运工就是为了尽量避免高原反应,故选D。end up意为“到达或来到某处,达到某状态或采取某行动”,其后可接in引导的地点状语,也可接动名词,其他与end相关的短语还有:end in sth.以某事物作为结尾或结果;end sth.off(妥当或顺利地)结束某事物,例如:I ended off my speech by telling a joke.我最后讲了一个笑话结束了讲话。
