Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cooking—the kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy.Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a place’s natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games. “Tree climbing is a slow activity，” says Kovar. “It’s not something you do quickly and then you’re on to the next thing or event.” There is no such thing as a quick climber, especially for beginners.This wasn’t a race against the clock or the fellow climbers.In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever become a feature of the extreme games.Many climbers refuse competition.There has already been so much competition in the world. “When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing，” Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michael’s Triumph, a 150foottall tree.But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling.Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael’s Triumph for permission to climb. “It goes a lot smoother that way，” she says. And climbing has been included into many educational programs.New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where “we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students，” says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks. “We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees.After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation.This is not just to preserve their playground.” Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term “recreational tree climbing，” saying, “I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing.” 1．What do we know about tree climbing from the passage? A．People compete to see who can climb to the top first. B．It favors the experience of enjoying nature. C．It is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort. D．People view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest. B　解析： 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to...not afforded by extreme games.可推斷， 答案為B。 2．Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to ________． A．beg for the safety of climbing B．expect to climb faster than her husband C．show respect for the tree D．a(chǎn)sk for permission of her husband C　解析： 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的．..Michael’s Triumph, a 150foottall tree和Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michael’s Triumph for permission to climb.可知， 答案為C。 3．Sophis Sparks prefers the term “inspirational tree climbing” because it ________． A．provides people with more chances to play outside B．brings a lot of pleasure to life C．deepens personal love between each other D．makes people realize they should protect trees D　解析： 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation.可推斷， 答案為D。 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Treeclimbing travelling B．Slow travel movements C．Dangers of climbing D．Respect for nature A　解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。本文的主要內(nèi)容為： 爬樹已經(jīng)成為生態(tài)旅游的一種形式， 它不但給人們帶來了樂趣而且還提高了人們保護樹木的意識， 故答案為A。 B (2016揚州、 南通、 連云港調(diào)研考試) Dear Textual Healing, I would be very interested in your recommendations for any book to help me through a difficult time of my life.At 57, I am feeling a bit lost.I have a wonderful, loving husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life. I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly/ have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends. I am seeking the help of a therapist and taking care of myself but I would love to read something to help me “get my groove(理想狀況) back” and reengage with life. PC Dear PC, From the letter you’ve given us about your life, it’s no wonder you’re feeling a little lost.But before prescribing titles to help you get your groove back, I’d recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit’s nonfiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats. The word “l(fā)ost” is rooted in the Old Norse “l(fā)os”， meaning the disbanding of an army. “This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world.I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know，” Solnit writes.So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery.Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because they’re forever in someplace new. “Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark，” Solnit advises. “That’s where the most important things come from, where you came from, and where you will go.” For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose(一劑) of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation.One such character is 53yearold Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, she’s combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home.Could it be, she wonders, that she’s “turned into the wrong person”？ Don’t be fooled by the way this novel ambles along—as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heartrending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance. Along similar lines, I’m also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick.On his way to post her a note, he decides instead to visit her—on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England’s northernmost town, more than 600 miles away.You don’t manage that without focus! It’s a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation (轟動)．By the time he reaches his destination, you’ll feel anything but tired. Finally, Ruth Ozeki’s novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life.Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middleaged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, it’s a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch—and are touched by—others in ways we mightn’t even be aware of.This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too. One other suggestion: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed in the company of others.If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite caf. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文是一篇書信文閱讀。該文章以PC向心理醫(yī)生的求助來引出主題， 以書信的方式推薦幾本能夠幫助人們擺脫孤獨的書籍。 5．What has mainly led to PC’s negative attitude to life? A．The lack of helpful books. B．The blow of her father’s death. C．The contrast between her devotion to others and her being ignored. D．The contrast between her easy life and her family members’ busy life. C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章PC部分的I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly/ have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends. 可知她對家人投入很多， 但當(dāng)她失去父親時丈夫和孩子都忽略了她， 她的心理不平衡， 所以就迷失了方向。故選C。 6．By mentioning the origin of the word “l(fā)ost”， Textual Healing implies that__________． A．PC should extend her knowledge by reading more B．PC should stop struggling with anyone around her C．PC had better try to avoid going someplace new D．PC oughtn’t to be trapped in her present situation D　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章Textual Healing部分的第一段的I’d recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit’s nonfiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats. 可知建議她換換環(huán)境， 不要老是困在目前的處境中。故選D。 7．Who clarifies the idea in his/her work that people are socially related? A．Rebecca Solnit. B．Anne Tyler. C．Rachel Joyce. D．Ruth Ozeki. D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 通讀文章的倒數(shù)第二段， 并根據(jù)首句Finally, Ruth Ozeki’s novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life. 可知， 是Ruth Ozeki在自己的作品中分享了這種觀點。故選D。 8．Which of the following can be the proper title? A．Which books will cure loneliness? B．How can you get rid of loneliness? C．Here are good examples for you D．Books will keep you busy and healthy A　解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知這位心理醫(yī)生主要想通過介紹幾本書來幫助PC治療孤獨癥。故選A。 Unit 3　Amazing people(B卷) Ⅰ.完形填空 Lyse Doucet lives a happy life in Chicago.But recently there is some difficulty for her and her family.She and her husband have each other’s parents and young daughter and for that they are__1__．But she and her husband are both currently __2__．And their car is in great need of __3__．And then there is the matter of their second child, who is __4__ soon.So things are a little tense for the Doucet family these days.
