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.

Home has bee more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more plicated than that. This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has bee very important for me. I do not care about New Year39。s resolutions (愿望)—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change. New Year39。s Eve has bee my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to bee like a little family again. This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the sameI felt at home again and we felt like a family again. A lot of people feel that New Year39。s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Year39。s kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can39。t New Year be about friends?(1)What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I probably mean? A.FamilyB.Living abroadC.HomeD.Staying with friends(2)Why doesn39。t the author care about New Year39。s resolutions? A.New Year39。s resolutions cannot be reached.B.His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.C.It39。s meaningless to make any big changes in life.D.Making New Year39。s resolutions creates much pressure.(3)What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona? A.Life is peaceful and enjoyable.B.Living abroad is a happy experience.C.Staying with friends makes one feel at home.D.Travelling abroad enriches one39。s life experience.(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.New Year39。s Celebration: How?B.True Friendship: What?C.Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?D.Change: Plan it or Make it?【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)C(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文,介紹了對(duì)于怎樣慶祝新年這個(gè)問(wèn)題,作者的答案是和朋友一起度過(guò)。 (1)考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第一段中的“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.”家不再是一幅有前門和一些窗戶的房子的圖畫(huà)。由此可知,下文的意思是家比這更復(fù)雜。It指代上文提到的“家”,故選C。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“I do not care about‘New Year39。s resolutions’—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.”我不在乎“新年愿望”——在國(guó)外生活讓我不斷地重新考慮我想成為什么樣的人,我將如何生活,所以我覺(jué)得沒(méi)有必要為改變做計(jì)劃:我為改變而活。由此可知,作者不在乎“新年愿望”是因?yàn)樗纳罘绞绞顾麜r(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備著改變,故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to bee like a little family ,遠(yuǎn)離我們不斷變化的大生活,我們又能像一個(gè)小家庭了;以及第四段中的“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the sameI felt at home again and we felt like a family again.”這是不同的,但有一件事是非常相同的——我感覺(jué)像回到了家,我們感覺(jué)像一個(gè)家庭。由此推斷出,作者試圖通過(guò)他在愛(ài)爾蘭和巴塞羅那的經(jīng)歷表達(dá)和朋友呆在一起讓人有回家的感覺(jué),故選C。 (4)考查主旨大意。第三段中的“New Year39。s Eve has bee my time to reconnec
