Other posters are correct about hills: the only way to train for them properly is to ride hills. But here is drill that is good for hills- find some type of circular or there-and-back route. We used to do this in Audubon Park during low traffic hours, and it is a 1.8 mile loop, so perfect. Remove your saddle and seat post. Put the bike in a low gear and stand-up on the pedals and start pedaling. Go as far as you can and if you need to rest, just stand up on the pedals until you can pedal again. Not having your saddle is great motivation to keep going. Fransesco Mosier did this drill while training to break the world one hour ride record, except he was going uphill. Good luck!

interesting approach.. i'm going to stick to training methods that involve a saddle though.
