(单选题)

What does the article mainly talk about？

A.Viesturs’ first successful climb of Mount Everest.

B.Viesturs’ physical preparation for climbing Everest.

C.The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.

D.The lessons that Viesturs can share with others.

参考答案：A

参考解析：

主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“In 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29, 029 feet) from a high camp at 27, 000 feet.”从27000英尺高的营地开始向珠峰顶端攀登，可知，短文主要介绍了主人公第一次成功攀登珠峰，所以A项正确；B项“Viesturs为攀登所做的准备”、D项“Viesturs可以与他人分享的经验”虽然在文中有提及到，但只是文章的部分内容，所以排除；C项“Viesturs在生活中所遇到的困难”在文中未提及到，所以排除。故选A。
