问题 Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. Those(51) have a passion for high and difficult mountains are often treated with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused. Probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity, to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules,(52) there are for such games as golf and football. There are(53), rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to(54), but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering(55) to many people. Those who climb mountains are(56) to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more(57) sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken(58) this. There are no "matches" between "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope, on which their lives may depend, there is(59) teamwork.
The mountaineer knows that he may have to fight forces of nature that are stronger and more powerful than man. This sport requires high mental and physical(60).
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills(61). A skier is probably past his best(62) the age of thirty. But it is not(63) for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men,(64) they Probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly(65) equal enjoyment.

选项 A、occasional
B、accustomed
C、free
D、popular

答案C

解析 上文中提到登山运动有许多自由,据此可推知,此处应选 free。本句是指“登山者可以自由地使用他们自己的方法”。occasional意为“偶尔的,有机会的”,accustomed意为“熟悉的”,popular意为“流行的”。
