【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 n stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost kneedeep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they39。d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a rubycrowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of time and destination（目的地）are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what39。s around them. I asked them what they39。d seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感覺）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? avoid jumping to conclusions. stop plaining all the time. follow the teacher39。s advice. admit mistakes honestly.（2）The bird watchers39。 behavior shows that they __________. very patient in their observation really fascinated by nature only about the names of birds the accuracy of the field guides（3）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? natural beauty isn39。t attractive to them. focus on arriving at the camp in time. forest in the dark is dangerous for them. are keen to see rare birds at the destination.（4）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________. our senses to feel the wonders of the world rid of some bad habits in our daily life our mind to new things and ideas our best to protect nature【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者希望我們能夠運用我們的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界的美好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”喚醒感官的第一步是在它發(fā)生之前停止預測我們將要看到和感覺到的東西。可知，作者認為在事情發(fā)生前避免過早下結論。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ‘rubycrowned kinglet’ and checked it off.

That39。s a question many parents are asking in the wake of the college cheating scandal(丑聞)involving 38 wealthy parents around the country, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. Here39。s how far I went. In the fall of 2017 my husband and I lost our jobs. We had to tell our daughter, Casey, that we couldn39。t afford to send her back to school for her junior year at Fordham University. We decided the best choice for our family would be for Casey to sit out a year. We promised that we would get her back the following year. Casey decided to spend the year volunteering in South Africa On Sept 30, 2017, we put our oldest child on a plane halfway around the world. Casey worked as a tutor teaching kids math, English and music in Johannesburg. We did get Casey back in school in time. When she returned to the campus, she studied harder. She isn39。t what she used to be. Each day is marked by gratitude because she knows what it is like not to be able to get an education. I wonder why the college cheating scandal happened and I think it boils down to this: Parents want to create a fort zone for their kids. Of course, we want the best for our kids but sometimes we forget that real growth doesn39。t happen in times of fort。 those valuable lessons e when we are forced to think in ways we otherwise wouldn39。t have. While I did less for my child than these wealthy parents did in terms of means, in other ways I did more. I taught her that disappointment is a part of life and we should face it bravely rather than avoid it. My husband and I showed Casey that her strength is in her struggle. That39。s how far I went for my kid s education. And I dare say she is wiser and better off for it.（1）What do the parents involved in the college cheating scandal have in mon?
