Getting lost in the woods can be a scary situation. Whether you’ve gotten lost on a hike, or for any other reason, surviving in the woods is difficult. 1 If you can tend to your basic physical needs, you can survive in the woods.
Search for a source of fresh water. The first thing that you’ll need in order to survive in the woods is water that you can drink. 2 It could be a stream or pond. While finding water is important for survival, treat all drinking water before using.
3 Look around the area to find a relatively flat area with a tree that has a trunk that splits about 3–5 feet off the ground. Gather a bunch of branches that are long enough to be propped up (支住) against the main branch of your shelter.
Find food. Search for insects that you can eat. Insects are easy to catch and kill and are packed with protein and fats that will help you survive in the woods. You can eat most insects, but avoid spiders and flies. Look for edible wild plants. There are lots of wild plants in the woods that you can eat. 4
Start a fire. Find small, dry material to use as tinder (引火物). Look for dry grass, leaves, tree bark, pine needles, or any other small flammable (易燃的) materials you can find in the area. 5 By using them, you can start your fire with ease.
Of course, getting out of the woods is most important. Staying where you are and signaling your location with smoke signals is a good idea.
A. But it can be done.
B. Build a temporary shelter.
C. Avoid using too much energy.
D. Look for signs of fresh water nearby.
E. Food is a must for your survival in the woods.
F. But be sure to gather the ones that aren’t poisonous.
G. They are easy to light and can produce a large flame.

【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在树林中迷路时该如何自救。
【答案解析】
1. A 根据设空处上一句中的“在树林里生存是很困难的”和下一句“如果你能满足你的基本生理需求,你就能在树林里生存”可知,设空处与上一句形成转折关系,A项“但它是可以做到的”承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
2. D 根据本段的首句可知,此段内容与水源有关。由设空处的上一句“要想在树林里生存,你首先需要的是可以喝的水”和下一句“它可能是一条小溪或池塘”可知,此处表示要寻找水源,因此D项“在附近寻找淡水的迹象”符合语境。故选D。
3. B 本段主要讲述了选择平坦的地方和收集搭建住所的树枝等内容,所以B项“建造一个临时的庇护所”符合该段主旨。故选B。
4. F 根据本段的首句可知,此段内容与食物有关。选项中只有E项和F项与食物有关。根据设空处的上一句“树林里有很多野生植物可以吃”和上文中的“edible wild plants”可知,F项“但一定要收集那些无毒的”与上文构成转折关系,符合语境。F项中的“ones”指代上文中的“wild plants”。故选F。
5. G 根据设空处的上一句“寻找干草、树叶、树皮、松针,或任何其他你能在该地区找到的小的易燃材料”和下一句“使用它们,你可以轻松地点火”可知,此处应与生火有关,综合分析几个选项,只有G项“它们很容易点燃,并能产生巨大的火焰”符合语境。G项中的“They”指代上一句中的“dry grass…flammable materials”,并与下一句中的“them”呼应。故选G。
