Question

【题目】When I first heard about geocaching（地理寻宝），I was skeptical. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like an interesting idea. I at least wanted to try it once.

Having familiarized myself with how the game works, I set out in search of my first cache. My trip took me through a series of lively hutong（胡同), past a number of small temples, and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel. I spent several minutes looking around, but couldn't find anything. Just before I was about to give up, I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall. Could it be the hidden cache?

At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the game's rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. When the coast was clear, I grabbed the object. It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled（皱的）sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it. I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find.

It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. Once you're hooked, it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. The real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to.

Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed. Some are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites. A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought. Now, I feel a much closer connection.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了通过地理寻宝作者去了一些未曾去过的地方，加深了对这个城市的了解。

【1】C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话可知C正确。Skeptical不相信的，持怀疑态度的。

【2】D 细节理解题。根据根据第三段的第二句和第三句可知，根据游戏规则，没有参加游戏的人一定不允许知道宝藏的秘密，所以作者假装打电话是为了隐藏宝贝以防被人发现。故选D

【3】A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第一句Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed.和最后一句 Now, I feel a much closer connection.可知寻宝使作者接触了一些他不知道的地方。现在，作者感觉到与这些地方有了更近的联系。故A正确
