e found it repellent. To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant place. I couldn39。t figure out why anyone would want to carry a 50pound pack into the wilderness and camp there for days, he said. It didn39。t make sense. Then he met Bryant Carlin, a vendor (小販) for Real Change, the Seattle weekly sold on the street by vendors who are homeless or lowwage earners. He was also a skilled outdoorsman and a nature photographer who would take weekslong photographic journeys to the park. The two men connected in the fall of 2011 when Royale interviewed Carlin for a feature story in Real Change about Carlin39。s photography. That first time they met—and for years afterward—Carlin invited Royale to go camping with him. Each time, Royale said Thanks, but no thanks. Until one day, in the spring of 2015, Royale surprised himself by saying yes. Little did I know, said Royale, that saying 39。yes39。 would change the course of my life. Royale and Carlin went on five separate journeys to the Olympic wilderness. They camped in spring, summer, fall and winter. For Royale, the trips were exhausting and terrifying. But the trips were also inspiring, and helped Royale—a black, strange man—to develop a relationship with the outdoors that he had never experienced before. For Carlin, the trips were an opportunity to throw off the label of homeless. In Olympic National Park, sleeping outside just means you39。re a camper. But there was one aspect of Carlin39。s life in the city that he couldn39。t escape: alcohol abuse. While he never brought beer on their camping journeys, the effects of years of drinking weren39。t so easy to leave behind.(1)What does the underlined word repellent in paragraph 1 mean? ....(2)According to Royale, what made his life course changed? first meeting with Carlin. rejection of Carlin39。s invitation. camping trips with Carlin. reading of Carlin39。s feature story.(3)What did the trips with Royale mean to Carlin? improved his photography skills. helped him feel a sense of belonging. deepened his relationship with nature. enabled him to get rid of alcohol addiction.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)B 【解析】【分析】文章主要講了羅亞爾和卡林的奧林匹克國(guó)家公園露營(yíng)之旅對(duì)各自產(chǎn)生的意義。 (1)詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant ,公園似乎是一個(gè)潮濕、骯臟和令人不快的地方。由此可知,But Seattle writer Rosette Royale found it 。A.

Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you39。ll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child39。s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear。 we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain 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 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. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more .
