在寻找人的迹象。B项（寻找人的踪迹）可以概括下文内容。

19.选G根据段落小标题Ifpossible,sticktoopencountry.可知，G项中open

county和小标题内容相呼应，且G项（在野外旅行是发现文明迹象的好方法）承接上文，交

代了去opencountry的好处。

20.选F根据空前Ifyouarelostinhillyterrain,yourbestchoiceisalmost

alwaystotraveldownhill.可知，如果你在丘陵地带迷路，你最好的选择就是往低处走。

F项（除非你在高处看到人的迹象）能顺承上下文。

语篇解读：本文是音乐家、环保主义者ChuckLeave11正式加入Treehugger时写给

Treehugger的一封信。他介绍了自己及开始种树的原因和初衷，并希望在正式成为

Treehugger一员后可以做出更多贡献。

36.wasintegrated分析句子结构可知，此处在which引导的定语从句中作谓语，结

合时间状语theotherday可知，本句时态应该用一般过去时;此处表示MotherNature

Network被整合到Treehugger,故此处用被动语态；而从句主语which指代Mother,Nature

Network,为第三人称单数,所以填wasintegrated。

37.officially分析句了•结构可知，空处作状语，应用副词形式，所以填officially。

38.an根据语境可知，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，又ambassador的发音以

元音音素开头，所以填ar。

39.Knowing分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作状语，know和逻辑主语we之间为主

谓关系，注意首字母大写，所以空处填Knowing。

40.what分析句子结构可知，此处为“疑问词+不定式”结构，作knowing的宾语，

此处表示我们不是十分清楚怎样处理它，故空处应该填whal。

41.sustciinable分析句子成分可知，空处应为形容词，修饰后面的名词forestry,

所以填sustainable,,

42.courses此处course意为"课程"，为可数名词。根据空前的various可知，空

处应用名词复数，所以填courses。

43.contributinglookforwardtodoingsth为固定用法，意为“盼望做某事”，

所以空处填contributing.,

44.hcivebeen/am分析句子结构可知，此处作谓语动词，结合时间状语allthistime

可知，此处既可以用一现在时，表示自己的身份，也可以使用现在完成时，表示自己从过去

开始到现在一直都是Treehuggor的粉丝；另外，由于主语为I
