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

We all use them, often without noticing what we39。re doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said I39。ll pencil it in my diary, and my friend said You can ink it in, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we39。d fax it immediately. Then along came , and we were soon all ing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily s. Email reminds me, of course, of my puter and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my puter I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I39。ll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don39。t bookmark。 I favorite—ing from favorite pages, so the verb es from an adjective not a noun. Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven39。t heard that verb yet, but I39。m sure I will soon. Perhaps I39。ll start using it myself!（1）I39。ll pencil it in my diary in the second paragraph probably means . was a firm arrangement prefers a pencil to a pen arrangement should be written as a diary was an uncertain arrangement（2）A website address can be easily found if it has been______. （3）Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet? （4）The best title for this passage is____. and Language. of the English language Technology and New words Verbs from Nouns【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，通過多個例子告訴我們很多名詞都已經(jīng)轉換成了動詞。說明詞匯是并不斷的在變化。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!”用鉛筆寫意為著不是最終的決定，只是臨時的決定，故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“I favorite—ing from ‘favorite pages’, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.”我把這些網(wǎng)站設置成我最喜歡的網(wǎng)站，通過這種方法可以讓我很快就找到這些網(wǎng)站。故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“and we were soon all ing each other madly. ”；第四段中的“I favorite—ing from ‘favorite pages’, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.”；以及最后一段中的“I can message someone”, 說明ACD都可以作為動詞，只有B項文章沒有提及可以作為動詞，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文通過多個例子告訴我們很多名詞都已經(jīng)轉換成了動詞，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 The greatgrandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91.
