【解析】

本文主要介紹了尼泊爾登山新星Nirmal Purja，他在不到七個月的時間里攀登了世界上14座最高的山脈，并創(chuàng)造了多項世界紀(jì)錄。

【1】

句意：Purja先生出生于尼泊爾喜馬拉雅山脈。

根據(jù)空后“Though he was born 1, 600 meters above sea level”可知，空處是說他出生在海拔1600米的地方，結(jié)合選項可知，“Mr. Purja was born in Nepal, in the Himalayas”符合語境。故選A。

【2】

句意：2018年，他離開那里追尋自己的登山夢想。

根據(jù)空前句“He used to be a soldier in the British army, where he had special training for fighting in very cold weather.”可知，他曾經(jīng)是英國軍隊的一名士兵，在那里他接受過在非常寒冷的天氣里戰(zhàn)斗的特殊訓(xùn)練；結(jié)合后面一段講的是Purja爬山的情況，所以“2018年，他離開那里追尋自己的登山夢想”承前啟后，符合語境。故選F。

【3】

句意：他的目標(biāo)是在不到七個月的時間里把它們?nèi)�部爬上去�?/span>

根據(jù)空前句“Mr. Purja had already climbed several of them. Purja先生已經(jīng)爬了它們中若干個。”及后面“The old record for climbing the 14 mountains was seven years, ten months and six days. 爬這14座山的舊記錄是七年十個月六天�！笨芍�，空處是說他要爬上這14座山；結(jié)合選項可知，“His goal was to climb all of them in less than seven months.”符合語境。故選D。

【4】

句意：他以4月23日攀登尼泊爾的安娜普爾納為開始。

根據(jù)后面“On October 29, just a little more than six months after he started, Nirmal Purja had finished climbing the 14th mountain. 10月29日，就在他開始的六個多月后，Nirmal Purja完成了第14座山的攀登�！笨芍�，此處是說他何時開始，與后面的何時結(jié)束形成對應(yīng)，所以“He began on April 23, by climbing Annapurna in Nepal”符合語境。故選C。

【5】

句意：他們不得不應(yīng)對時速75公里的大風(fēng)。

根據(jù)前面“during one day of climbing Shishapangma Mr. Purja and his team climbed for 15 hours nonstop. 在攀登希夏邦馬峰的一天里，Purja先生和他的團隊連續(xù)攀登了15個小時。”可知，此處是說他們攀登的困難，結(jié)合選項可知，“They had to deal with winds as fast as 75 kilometers per hour.”符合語境。故選E。
