APeople compete to see who can climb to the top first.BIt favors the experience of enjoying nature.CIt is a kind of extreme sport and needs a lot of effort.DPeople view it as a challenge to climb the tallest tree in a forest.B解析： 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to.not afforded by extreme games.可推斷， 答案為B。2Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to _Abeg for the safety of climbingBexpect to climb faster than her husband Cshow respect for the treeDask for permission of her husbandC解析： 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的.Michaels Triumph, a 150foottall tree和Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michaels Triumph for permission to climb.可知， 答案為C。3Sophis Sparks prefers the term “inspirational tree climbing” because it _Aprovides people with more chances to play outsideBbrings a lot of pleasure to life Cdeepens personal love between each other Dmakes people realize they should protect treesD解析： 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation.可推斷， 答案為D。4Whats the best title for the passage?

Like you, shes combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home.Could it be, she wonders, that shes “turned into the wrong person”？ Dont be fooled by the way this novel ambles alongas Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heartrending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.Along similar lines, Im also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick.On his way to post her a note, he decides instead to visit heron foot, from his home in deepest Devon to Englands northernmost town, more than 600 miles away.You dont manage that without focus! Its a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation (轟動)By the time he reaches his destination, youll feel anything but tired.Finally, Ruth Ozekis novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life.Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middleaged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, its a beautiful illustration of how our lives touchand are touched byothers in ways we mightnt even be aware of.This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too.One other suggestion: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesnt mean they cant be enjoyed in the company of others.If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite caf.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇書信文閱讀。該文章以PC向心理醫(yī)生的求助來引出主題， 以書信的方式推薦幾本能夠幫助人們擺脫孤獨(dú)的書籍。5What has mainly led to PCs negative attitude to life?
