解析：

(1)	根據(jù)前句可知人們在認(rèn)為大山美麗之前對大山感到害怕。
(2)	后文中在山中迷路和被可怕動(dòng)物殺死，都是害怕大山的原因。
(3)	especially表示程度，意為“尤其”。
(4)	由文章內(nèi)容可知，18世紀(jì)以前人們害怕大山，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為大山是危險(xiǎn)的。
(5)	根據(jù)前文中的wild可知在野外易迷路，故選lost。Be lost是“迷失方向”“迷路”的意思。
(6)	根據(jù)后文中的grow tired of可知城市里的人討厭了城市生活，故選unhappy。lonely是形容詞不能作live的狀語。
(7)	them指town。
(8)	用并列連詞鼬來承上啟下，且表示因果關(guān)系，意為“所以”。
(9)	根據(jù)文章第一句中的eighteenth century選擇C項(xiàng)。
(10)	根據(jù)上文中的towns，應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。
(11)	與前文中的并列to untouched country。
(12)	popular意為“流行”“受歡迎”或“被人們廣泛接受”。
(13)	greatly pleasant意為“極為快樂的”，作后置定語修飾something。
(14)	根據(jù)文章可知“登上了山頂”給人們一種快樂感。
(15)	根據(jù)前文中的against：可知選C項(xiàng)。battle against意為：與……的戰(zhàn)斗”。
(16)	climb作名詞意為“登山”，根據(jù)本小節(jié)第一句中的mountain-climbing可知選擇B項(xiàng)最恰當(dāng)。
(17)	根據(jù)文章可知在長時(shí)間艱難的攀登后，站在山頂上看到視野中的一切是令人滿意的回報(bào)。
(18)	在山頂看到的應(yīng)是山下面的事物，故選down。
(19)	within sight意為“在視野范圍內(nèi)”。
(20)	這句話是就在山上和在山下的感受作比較，故選B項(xiàng)。under也表示“在……下面”，常用作介詞，后面需接賓語。
