Question

    I grew up in New Jersey and didn’t spend a night outdoors until I turned 30, when I decided I should know how to set up a tent. I attended a month-long course in the Absaroka Mountains in Wyoming and learned to be comfortable without a roof over my head. Ever since, I’ve tried to go camping once a year, to keep up my skills.

I’d been telling my son about the joys of the great outdoors, and he was eager to join me. And I was eager for him to experience at a young age what it had taken me so long to discover. Yet I was also worried. It seemed that every time I went camping, I forgot something---like a frying pan or my knife. I could get by with these mistakes when I was on my own. But with my son along, it was a different story.

So, with our supplies checked again and again, we piled into the car and headed north. After 20 minutes, my son turned and asked, "How much farther, Dad? "I’d worried that five miles might be too much for him, but the lake had seemed the perfect destination. I began to tell stories. But after a steep grade, he quit. Then I reached for my bag of M&M’s---the normally forbidden treat meant to be saved until our work was done.

Three dozen candy-coated chocolate later, we found the lake. We were excited. I showed him how to set up the tent. As darkness fell, my son laughed himself to sleep. In the morning, the stove wouldn’t light. My son had sardines and M&M’s for breakfast and pronounced it the best meal he had ever eaten. After a few hours, we went back home.

The following year, we got rained out, and the year after that, time got away from us. But next weekend, we’re heading out for another overnight. A bag of M&M’s is already in my pack.

2.The underlined sentence "it was a different story" in Paragraph 2 means________.

C.his son would help him a lot D.his son would handle the mistake

3.Why did the writer tell the stories during the walk?

A.To encourage his son. B.To meet his son’s request.

C.To let his son forget the walk. D.To take a good rest.

4.Why will the writer still carry a bag of M&M’s during the next camping?

1.

推理判断题。根据第二段中第二段的It seemed that every time I went camping, I forgot something---like a frying pan or my knife.“好像每次我去露营，我都会忘记一些东西——比如一个煎锅或我的刀。”由此可知，作者过去常常遇到一些意想不到的麻烦。故选B。

2.

句意猜测题。根据第二段中Yet I was also worried. It seemed that every time I went camping, I forgot something---like a frying pan or my knife. I could get by with these mistakes when I was on my own.“但我也很担心。好像每次我去露营，我都会忘记一些东西——比如一个煎锅或我的刀。当我一个人的时候，这些错误我可以应付过去。”再根据第二段最后一句中But with my son along,“但有我儿子在，”中的but可知与上文“出错误”构成转折关系，也就是说“有儿子在要更加细心”，所以划线句子的意思是“他应该更加细心”。故选B。

3.

推理判断题。根据第三段中After 20 minutes, my son turned and asked, "How much farther, Dad? "I’d worried that five miles might be too much for him, but the lake had seemed the perfect destination. I began to tell stories. But after a steep grade, he quit. Then I reached for my bag of M&M’s---the normally forbidden treat meant to be saved until our work was done. 20分钟后，儿子转过身来问道:“还有多远，爸爸?”我曾担心5英里对他来说可能太多，但湖区似乎是个完美的目的地。我开始讲故事。但在经历了一段陡峭的下坡路后，他停了下来。然后，我伸手去拿我那袋M&M巧克力豆——这是通常被禁止的东西，应该被保存起来，直到我们的工作完成。由此可知，作者在散步时讲故事是为了让他的儿子忘记路程。故选C。

推理判断题。根据第三段中Then I reached for my bag of M&M’s---the normally forbidden treat meant to be saved until our work was done.“然后，我伸手去拿我那袋M&M巧克力豆——这是通常被禁止的东西，应该被保存起来，直到我们的工作完成。”和最后一段中But next weekend, we’re heading out for another overnight. A bag of M&M’s is already in my pack.“但下周末，我们又要出去过夜了。我的包里已经有一袋M&M了。”由此可知，作者在下次露营时之所以还会带一袋M&M 's，是因为它们是他儿子的最爱。故选D。
