问题   Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, in winter, or skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind — football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
  These who have a passion【C1】______climbing high and difficult mountains are often【C2】______with astonishment. Why are men and women【C3】______to suffer cold and hardship, and to【C4】______on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity【C5】______which men give their leisure.
  Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made roles, as there are for【C6】______games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to【C7】______, but it is this freedom from man-made rules【C8】______makes mountaineering  attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own【C9】______.
  If we【C10】______mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is【C11】______mountaineering is not a" team work". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches"【C12】______"teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may【C13】______, there is obviously teamwork.
  A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight【C14】______of nature. His sport requires high mental and【C15】______qualities.
  A mountain climber【C16】______to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions【C17】______in their early twenties. But it is not【C18】______for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more【C19】______than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less【C20】______of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
【C14】

选项 A、strength
B、storms
C、powers
D、forces

答案D

解析 B项storms指“暴风雨”,意思不通,排除;A项strength,C项powers和D项forces都有“力量”之意。但strength强调“力量的强度”;power指“运用能力或是体力和脑力来做某事”;force指“实施力量,产生行动或是征服对手”,最符合题意。且前一句话已出现fight forces形式,这里是对前文的重复和解释,用法相同。
