Question

It’s great fun to explore(探索) new places—it feels like an adventure,even when you know you’re not the first to have been there.But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

●Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere.It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn,or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

●Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You’ll need a good map,a compass(指南針),a raincoat,a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost,and a bit of spare cash for emergencies(應急現金).Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The test is in not getting lost,not in seeing how fast you can go,so always stick together,waiting for slower friends to catch up.

●See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities,in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport,with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C,etc.) in the fastest time,or simply as a spare-time activity.Either way,it’s not only good fun,but a great way to keep fit.

Sitting beside the driver,you should ______.

A.direct the driver when necessary

B.look ahead to see where there’s a turn

C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】B

【小題3】B

【小題4】D

解析:

【小題1】這是一道推斷題。根據第二段“Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn,or you’ll have to move to the back seat.”可知坐在副駕駛應該為司機指路。

【小題2】這是一道推斷題。根據第三段“Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.”可以推斷出你出發前應該告訴別人你去哪里，何時回來。這樣如果有意外別人會及時救你。

【小題3】這是一道推斷題。根據第四段“Either way,it’s not only good fun,but a great way to keep fit.”可知這項運動不只可以得到樂趣，還能保持體型。

【小題4】 這是一道主旨題。本文介紹了探險的常識，重點描述了3種方法來避免在探險中迷路。
