erviewed 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家公園露營之旅對各自產生的意義。 (1)詞義猜測題。根據第一段To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant ,公園似乎是一個潮濕、骯臟和令人不快的地方。由此可知,But Seattle writer Rosette Royale found it 。A.

It was once buried beneath piles of papers—magazines, articles, copies of schedules for vacations she took back in the 1990s, and baby pictures of grand children who are now paying off their college loans. My brother Ross and I recently flew to New York to visit my mother. Mom, why don39。t we go through all that stuff? Ross said. No. Don39。t touch it! My mother said. The next afternoon, when she couldn39。t find a bill she needed, Ross suggested it might be put somewhere in the dining room and that we find it together. Besides, he said, all those papers are clearly stressing you out. However, my mother just said, Are you boys hungry? And then she seemed to have lost herself in deep thought. On our last night there, my mother walked up to us with a small pile of unopened mails, which she had collected at the western edge of the dining table, and said, Help me go through these. Sure, I said. When we had succeeded in separating wheat from chaff (谷殼), I asked, Would you want to deal with another little pile of papers? My mother led the way walking into the dining room the way an animal manager might be while entering a cage with tigers in it. Ross and I came in behind her and suddenly he reached for a pile of the papers on one side of the table. No! my mother said sharply. Let39。s start at the other end. That39。s where the older stuff is. Finally, we threw 95 percent of the stuff into paper shopping bags. Then I asked what she wanted us to do with them, she surprised us all by saying, Put them in the incinerator (垃圾焚化爐). When I returned home, inspired by the visit to my mother, I sorted out my own accumulated(累積的) piles of papers, sold or gave away half of my possessions, and moved into a smaller house. It seems that my life has been cheaper and easier since then. And it proves that a small change does make a big difference.(1)What did the mother ask her children to do with these unopened mails?
