PASSAGE FOUR
问答题 What is "Cathedral Grove" according to the passage?
【正确答案】A patch of woods full of California’s famous redwoods.
【答案解析】由第7段第1句可知,Cathedral Grove是一个“寂静之林”;回看第6段,我们又可了解到它是一个观赏著名红杉树林的好去处,可知答案应概括为A patch of woods full of California’s famous redwoods。
问答题 Why did Kent refuse to have his name put on the monument of the Muir wood?
【正确答案】He hoped his sons would have their family name remembered.
【答案解析】本题难点在于对第13段第2句虚拟条件句If they couldn’t…I am willing…的理解。该句实意是Kent希望他的儿子们能keep the name of Kent alive,言外之意是他并不希望名字被人忘掉,而是希望儿子们发扬光大,故答案为He hoped his sons would have their family name remembered。
