Majid在美國馬里蘭州東海岸的黑水國家野生動物保護區狩獵。他是為數不多的幾個新獵人之一,官員們希望他們能幫助阻止近四十年來全國范圍內的狩獵活動下降。1.WhatcanbeinferredfromChrisMarkin’swords?A.Thehuntingtraditionisfacingchallenges.B.Nooneisinterestedinhuntinganymore.C.Parentsfailtospendenoughtimewithkids.D.Huntingaddstomanyadults’lifepressures.【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“Everythingischanging.Kidsaregrowingupinfrontofvideogamesandcomputersinsteadofgoinghunting”及“Adultsusuallyfocusonworkingandprovidingfortheirfamilies.Thosepressuresarepreventingmanyotherpotentialhuntersfromgoingout,andfromraisingthenextgenerationofhunters.”可知,孩子們玩電腦游戲長大而不是去狩獵,成人忙于工作和養家糊口,這些壓力阻礙了潛在的獵人外出,也阻礙了下一代獵人的成長,由此可知,ChrisMarkin的話表明狩獵傳統正在面臨挑戰,故A項正確。2.Inthispassage,Nasr

Majid

被認為是希望的象征,故A項正確。3.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“newpastime”referto?A.Raisingquestions.B.Learningtohunt.C.Lookingforhunters.D.Sharinganewhobby.【解析】選B。詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的“Luckily,therearethosestilleagertolearn,likeMajid.Hewasjustlookingforanoutdoorhobbyhecouldsharewithhischildren...”可知,幸運的是,也有一些人渴望學習狩獵,比如Majid,他把狩獵當成一種可以與孩子們分享的戶外愛好。由文章最后一句可知,他的這個新消遣已經有了回報——在第二次狩獵的最后幾分鐘,他捕獲了第一只鹿,由此可知,畫線詞指的是“學習狩獵”,故B項正確。4.Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?A.TeachHuntersNewSkillsB.PreserveaGreatTraditionC.ReducethePressureofLifeD.MakeHuntingMorePopular【解析】選D。主旨大意題。通讀全文,特別是根據第一段內容可知,本文主要介紹了Nasr

Majid在美國馬里蘭州東海岸的黑水國家野生動物保護區狩獵。他是為數不多的幾個新獵人之一,官員們希望他們能幫助阻止近四十年來全國范圍內的狩獵活動下降,由此可知,D項(讓狩獵更加流行)最適合做文章標題。【知識拓展】難句解讀He’soneoftherelativelyfewnewhunterswhoofficialshopewillhelpstopanearlyfour-decadedeclinenationallyinwhathasbecomeahobbyforfewerthan5percentofAmericans.分析:who引導定語從句,修飾先行詞hunters;what引導賓語從句。翻譯:他是為數不多的幾個新獵人之一。官員們希望,(像他這樣的)新獵手能幫忙阻止近四十年來全國范圍內狩獵活動的下降,(打獵)已經成為不到百分之五的美國人的業余愛好。B
