题目

A while back I caught a news report on something called ―couch surfing‖ and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.If this was what couch surfing was all about － trust and friendship － then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.【1】Which of the following best explains ―intrigued‖ underlined in the second paragraph?A. Relaxed. B. Disgusted.C. Interested. D.

A Plan for Couch Surfing 答案：【答案】【1】 C 【2】 C 【3】 D 【4】 A 【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述作者从初步了解到亲身体验“沙发冲浪”这种旅游模式（在旅游时，由一个陌生的当地人提供免费吃住并担当导游，基于相互信任和共同趣味建立起来的一种旅游模式），再到得出感悟的全过程。【1】词义猜测题。根据本空后的“I decided to investigate”可知，作者变得对此感兴趣，决定展开调查，由此可知画线词词义为“感兴趣”，故 C 项正确。【2】推理判断题。第三段中的“He was a live wire, giving me an effusive welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased. ”可知，他对作者非常热情并且非常信任，像朋友一样对待作者，故 C 项正确。【3】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives. ”可知，人们像陌生人提供沙发冲浪服务是为了充实自己的生活，故D项正确。【4】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者从初步了解到亲身体验“沙发冲浪”这种旅游模式（在旅游时，由一个陌生的当地人提供免费吃住并担当导游，基于相互信任共同趣味建立起来的一种旅游模式），再到得出感悟的全过程。全文围绕两个关键词couch(指在陌生当地家庭基于信任共同生活一两天)和 travel 展开，故A项正确。文章标题题的难度很大，需要短短几个词高度概括出文章内容，例如本篇第4题，通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者从初步了解到亲身体验“沙发冲浪”这种旅游模式（在旅游时，由一个陌生的当地人提供免费吃住并担当导游，基于相互信任共同趣味建立起来的一种旅游模式），再到得出感悟的全过程。全文围绕两个关键词couch(指在陌生当地家庭基于信任共同生活一两天)和 travel 展开，因此标题一定要体现出这两个词，B 选项纯粹指免费旅游，未提及 couch 及相关引申义，C 选项与 travel 无关，D 选项重心在 plan，因此，最适合做文章标题的是A选项 。
