Micro-travel means short-distance travel in which people drive two or three hours to a near place and spend two or three days. Instead of requiring a careful and complete plan and a lot of money, micro-travel allows people to be more flexible (灵活的) and is less expensive. According to China Daily, micro-travel began catching on seven or eight years ago, but it has been increasingly hot since this year. In the past three years, people’s lives have been very difficult, and it is even less convenient to travel far away, more and more Chinese people choose to take short trips instead. Mark Hou from Beijing is one of them. The 28-year-old once enjoyed taking long trips abroad or leaving Beijing to see places of interests in other Chinese provinces. But now he preferred the new travel style. “Traveling a long distance means you should take public transportation. But that would be likely to increase the chances of falling ill,” Hou said. “To stay healthy, short-distance travel is a better choice.” But that doesn’t mean Hou has lost fun during his short trips. Many cities also create more chances for tourists. For example, Shanghai gave a number of micro-travel products for half-day and one-day tours since 2020. Travel doesn’t mean you need to go far away to find a resting place for your heart. The micro-travel can also work. 37. What is the advantage of the micro-travel? A. It can be freer and enjoyable. B. It’s more flexible and less expensive. C. It needs less time to prepare. D. It can make people happy and relaxed. 38. Why do more and more people take short trips? A. Because of the less convenience. B. Because of the less expensive budget. C. Because of the increasing number of cars. D. Because of the chances of falling ill. 39. How does Mark Hou like his short trips? A. Expensive. B. Surprising. C. Boring. D. Safe. 40. Where can you probably read this passage? A. In a story book. B. In an art book. C. At an advertisement. D. In a travelling magazine. 【答案】37. B 38. B 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型的旅游方式——微旅行。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“micro-travel allows people to be more flexible and is less expensive.”可知，此处指微旅行可以让人们更灵活，也更便宜。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Micro-travel means short-distance travel in which people drive two or three hours to a near place and spend two or three days. Instead of requiring a careful and complete plan and a lot of money”微旅游不需要大量的费用，可推测微旅游预算比较便宜。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Traveling a long distance means you should take public transportation. But that would be likely to increase the chances of falling ill…To stay healthy, short-distance travel is a better choice.”可推测，Mark Hou认为短途旅行会降低旅行中生病的概率，会更安全。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。 通读全文，本文主要介绍了一种新型的旅行方式，可推测这篇文章有可能会出现在一本旅行杂志上。故选D。 D It’s easy to have a fight in your family.

She spends her days practicing archery (射箭), riding her horse and experiencing the world. She loves her family, but she wants to create her own life. Disney even put up their “new rules for being a modern princess”. The rules include: Care for others; Live healthily; Be honest; Be friendly; Believe in yourself; Try your best; Never give up. None of the rules are about the looks of a princess. Anyway, one’s inner beauty is more valuable. 48. What are princesses like in the early Disney cartoon movies? (不超过10个词) ________________ 49.

Instead of requiring a careful and complete plan and a lot of money, micro-travel allows people to be more flexible (灵活的) and is less expensive. According to China Daily, micro-travel began catching on seven or eight years ago, but it has been increasingly hot since this year.

But now he preferred the new travel style. “Traveling a long distance means you should take public transportation. But that would be likely to increase the chances of falling ill,” Hou said. “To stay healthy, short-distance travel is a better choice.” But that doesn’t mean Hou has lost fun during his short trips. Many cities also create more chances for tourists. For example, Shanghai gave a number of micro-travel products for half-day and one-day tours since 2020. Travel doesn’t mean you need to go far away to find a resting place for your heart. The micro-travel can also work. 37. What is the advantage of the micro-travel? A. It can be freer and enjoyable. B.
