Question

How to survive in the jungle

When you’re in the jungle (丛林), you need to leave all your mobile phone, your favorite coffee and your chocolate bars at home. When you’re in the jungle, you need only four things—water, food, shelter, and fire. You can find all of these easily, but you must know what to look for.

Let’s start with water. Even though there’s a lot of water in the jungle, you may not find it Insects can also be a good sign, because they usually build their nests near water. However, don’t only look for rivers. You can also find water in some plants such as roots and palm trees.

You can usually find a lot of food in the jungle, but you must be happy to eat things you wouldn’t normally want to, for example, insects. However, you need to know the difference between those you can eat and those that are poisonous, so start reading about them now!

For cooking and for warmth, collect dry firewood, leaves, and grass. Then make fire using dry sticks-take a box of matches or a lighter with you!

The type of shelter you need depends on the weather and the kind of animals in the jungle. Some insects can be very dangerous, so protect yourself against bites .If you don’t have any insect repellent (驱虫剂), try putting mud on your skin.

Of course, if you’re lost in the jungle and want to get home again, the sun and stars can help you find your way.

本文是一篇说明文。本文主要内容是介绍如何在丛林中求生，水、食物、庇护所和火是丛林求生必备的四样物品，并从这四个方面展开进行了阐述。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段的When you’re in the jungle, you need only four things—water, food, shelter, and fire.(当你在丛林里时，你只需要四样东西——水、食物、庇护所和火)以及Then make fire using dry sticks-take a box of matches or a lighter with you!( 然后用干柴生火——随身带一盒火柴或打火机)可知，如果你在丛林里探险，你应该带一盒火柴。其他三个选项提到的物品不是身在丛林需要的必需品，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段的you may not find it Insects can also be a good sign, because they usually build their nests near water.(昆虫也可能是一个好迹象，因为它们通常在水附近筑巢)可知，人们追逐昆虫和鸟的足迹可以找到水。故选C。
