One of the wonderful benefits of going abroad is that you can learn history and culture without real effort.

It can open up your mind and generate new ideas. A direct encounter with a fresh expression of arts, religions, architecture, and food can contribute to an enlightening and valuable experience.

With wellness tourism expected to grow quickly, it is clear that more of us than ever before are placing wellness at the top of our travel agendas. 1 . Wellness travel for the mind If travel broadens the mind, it can also benefit mental health and spiritual well being. Meditation retreats (a practice of thinking) that support self-development, observation, and awareness are popular destinations and often feature exercises like yoga which improve both physical and mental well being. 2 . Some places such as Martial arts centers where mindfulness and mental focus are key parts are good choices. Some of the best UK destinations provide services for refreshing the mind through outdoor relaxation, and rejuvenating therapies. 3 A strong body means a healthy mind. Travel breaks that combine physical activity with relaxation treatments tick multiple boxes. Many destinations feature health clubs and modern gyms. 4 . For example, some hotels boast a dedicated group cycling studio with music, lighting, and giant screens around a nightclub theme. If swimming, tennis, golf, running, or tai-chi is your thing, a destination that focuses on body and fitness well being is certain to exist, whatever kind of active leisure pursuit you need. Wellness travel for the family Wellness travel can deliver the same benefits for the whole family. 5 —from swimming and workouts to relaxing spa treatments and fun clubs, there is plenty to do for both adults and children alike. A family wellness break also means each member can focus on their favourite leisure or relaxation activity while also spending precious time in the company of loved ones. A．Wellness travel for the spirit B．Wellness travel for the body C．Any holiday can be described as a wellness holiday D．People also seek out places for spiritual deep thinking E．That’s why many spas and wellness centers suit for all age groups F．Let’s explore the features that make wellness tourism such a large industry G．They also include personal training facilities and a range of exercise classes Passage 2 How to Travel with Your Friends Without Hating Them 难度⭐⭐ The only thing better than a vacation with friends is a well-planned vacation with friends. 1 Choose your friends, destination and activities wisely and your group will enjoy a fun and memorable holiday-and start getting ready to plan the next one. Not sure how to plan a trip with friends? Choose friends you get along well with. You’ll be spending a lot of time with your travel companions, so think of people who have similar general travel habits and are flexible and relaxed. 2 Also consider how much you’ll be willing to compromise. Decide on a date. Ask your friends when they can take time off from school or work. 3 The larger your group is, the harder it will be to find a time that works for all of you. Be patient and flexible and make a deal when you can. Discuss a budget early on. Ask your friends to be open about how much you’re each willing to pay for the trip between travel, accommodation, food and entertainment costs. 4 For example, you could say, “I know it’s awkward, bat we should talk about a budget before we start planning everything.” Pick a destination wisely. A key step in planning a fun trip with friends is picking the perfect destination. Big cities are an excellent pick, as there will likely be activities to suit everyone’s interests. 5 Consider the activities you want to do, sites you want to see and the amount of time you have to travel, as these factors will decide your destination. A．Make your reservations for flights and accommodations. B．All trips are meant for adventure, relaxation, and enjoyment. C．Who you choose to travel with can, make or break your holiday. D．Decide in advance how you will share expenses with your travel mate. E．With careful preparation, your group will stay energized through the whole trip. F．Narrow down preferences to a date and duration that works for the most people. G．However, if you’re hoping to see nature, you may need to travel to more remote locations. Passage 3 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip 难度⭐⭐ A trip is a planned journey that one arranges in advance and whose main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment. Here are the steps on how to make sure your trip is enjoyable. Plan it well. Trips should be ideally planned to go well. 1 A checklist is helpful, making sure you’ve got all your needs. Pack necessities. Bring what you need. Trips are short journeys and belong to the sub-level of traveling. Pack only the things you need. 2 Be safe. To be cautious is smart. No matter what you are up to, surfing, cliff diving, snowboarding or scuba diving, it is always recommended to be safe. 3 Don’t be stubborn and put yourself in harm’s way when there are precautions. 4 You may see delays (延误), different cultures, lifestyles, foods, and even a shortage of cash sometimes — these are all what travel is about — experiencing things with a new perspective (视角). Once you expect to experience new things, you’ll be a happy traveler and free from stress. Save the memory. 5 This is not one of those regular days so you ought to save the moment. It will make your trip more enjoyable after all that craziness; you get something to review the good times. A．Travel with an open mind. B．Get prepared for everything new. C．This is all we expect from a trip. D．Seize the moment by taking pictures. E．It is important to wear protective equipment when necessary. F．It is easy to get tired if you have too many things in your package. G．Take your time, a day or a week ahead to make a plan for your trip. Passage 4 难度⭐⭐ As the world becomes more connected in the 21st century, it’s high time to learn to travel as a respectful tourist. 1 Being a respectful tourist starts with understanding the traditions, customs, and values of the places you visit. 2 , before you start on your journey. Learn basic native greetings, dining ways and dress codes (规范). By showing respect for the customs and traditions of your destination, you’ll not only make a positive impression but also enhance your travel experience. Being culturally aware also means avoiding any disrespectful behavior, like climbing on monuments (纪念碑) or touching artworks. Leave the landmarks as you find them so that future generations can enjoy them too. Respect for residents When you’re travelling, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of exploring new places. 3 . Being a polite tourist means treating these places with the same politeness you’d expect from visitors in your own hometown. One of the key aspects of respecting residents is avoiding making loud noises whether you’re in a city or a village. Moral souvenirs Souvenirs (纪念品)  are a fun way to remember your travels. A respectful tourist makes responsible choices when it comes to souvenirs. 4 . Remember, the best souvenirs are the memories you create and the cultural experiences you have. So, let’s change the impolite behavior for a considerate approach. 5 . A．Species diversity B．Cultural consideration C．Do some research about the local culture D．This not only helps the local economy but also promotes sustainable development E．However, it’s important to remember that for the locals, these destinations are their homes F．Together, we can be the change that makes travel not just a pleasure for us but a gift to the world G．Respect local wildlife by observing them from a distance and not interfering with their behaviors 拔高篇 Passage 1 Explore Your Own Town 难度⭐⭐⭐ It’s easy to get so busy in your daily life that you barely notice the fascinating world where you live. Taking time to get to know your own town or city can help you learn about its heritage and see your surroundings in a new light. 1 Here’s how to get started. Pretend you’re a tourist. Many times, when you live in a place, you never really explore some of the local highlights that a visit or might. 2 If I had a friend coming to town who had never been here before, where would I suggest they go? Maybe there’s a historic building you can tour, a nice park that you could hike in, or a new ice cream store you’ve been wanting to try. 3 Do some research online and talk to an adult about what sights are within a close drive. Again, try to think about where you’d go if you were traveling to your city. A local museum or zoo might have a new exhibit you haven’t seen since the last time you visited. If you’re more adventurous, you might head to a state park for a hike or see if there’s a zip line course nearby. Seek out a guided tour. You can look up walking tours for a whole new way to explore your city. Some cities offer walking tours focused on a theme, like food or local parks. 4 Another choice: More than 300 US cities have Segway tours, which can be a fun way to explore far and wide. Take a photography walk. 5 Pick a theme for your photos, whether it’s architecture, local waterways, or birds and other wildlife in your area. These things make your city stand apart from the others and at the end of the day, you can look back on all your adventures close to home. A．Consider local attractions. B．Start by asking yourself this question. C．Try a Segway tour for a unique adventure. D．Share your experience and attract tourists to your town. E．You can also search for free self-guided walking tours in your area. F．It is quite great to go exploring with a trusted adult in this beautiful season. G．Another way to see where you live with fresh eyes is to explore with your camera. Passage 2 Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? 难度⭐⭐⭐ Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2 ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● 4 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A．Visit during off-peak times. B．So, should we stop traveling? C．Travel for you and no one else. D．Can overtourism be avoided then? E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it. G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting. Passage 3 难度⭐⭐⭐ Standing at the top of a staircase in the Louvre in Paris, the Nike, or the Winged Victory (胜利女神), looks down over her admiring crowds. This statue is one of the most famous artworks of Greek art. 1 Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866. The Nike consists of two parts: a large ship’s front part, and a standing statue with a total height of more than eighteen feet. It looks like the Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky. 2 The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. 3 The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. 4 She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face. 5 As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before. A．This means that she cannot have held any object. B．The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories. C．It was found on a Greek island in the Aegean sea in 1863. D．This statue was made by artists who left no names in history. E．It’s hard for them to believe such a lifelike statue is made of stone. F．Landing on top of the ship, she celebrates the victory of an ancient battle. G．Despite its incomplete survival, the Winged Victory is truly a masterpiece. Passage 4 How to overcome travel anxiety 难度⭐⭐⭐ Travelling can certainly cause a lot of stress, which can take different forms for different people. 1 By learning them you can enjoy your trip to the fullest. Understand where your anxiety comes. To cope with your travel anxiety, you need to have a good understanding of the things that actually cause it. Find specifically what is making you feel anxious about your trip. 2 Plan out your trip in as much detail as possible. One of the reasons for anxiety is that you’re being taken out of your comfort zone and won’t have full control over everything. 3 It’s equally important to think of alternative plans (替换方案) of action for anything that could not go as planned. 4 Taking a deep breath is a technique proven to help reduce any feelings of stress. Another useful way to calm your mind is by meditating (冥想), which can take many different forms from listening to music to focusing on your breath. Have with you things that bring you joy. 5 It can be extremely useful in distracting you from your negative feelings. These can include physical items like a journal to write, a book to read, or a game to occupy your attention, as these will keep your mind occupied, decreasing your feelings of anxiety. A．Make use of different relaxation techniques. B．Try out a few different ones before your trip. C．But there are ways to help reduce that stress. D．Things like a book to read can help with travel anxiety. E．Write down the schedule for every day that you can follow. F．Take activities as many as possible to keep your physical health. G．Therefore, you can ensure to plan ahead for the best ways to handle those causes. Passage 5 Steps to Make Your Dream Trip a Reality 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dream of someday setting sail on an Antarctic cruise? Or visit the ruins of Machu Picchu? 1 . Brainstorm and research 2 , and a dream trip for some might be the wrong fit for you. Decide what’s important by surrounding yourself with inspiration. Whether it’s reading travel blogs, following Pinterest boards, joining travel-centric Facebook groups or asking your best friends about their favorite destinations, use trusted sources to choose the places you want to go. Make a vision board Once you’ve listed your dream destinations, use a vision board — physical or virtual tools designed to correct your plans into a single resource — to narrow down your options and start trip planning. Go old-school and make a poster board of vacation intentions using magazine photos and a glue stick (胶水棒). 3 . Pick out your top trip Even if a destination is number one on your must-visit list it doesn’t mean that it’s the right time to go. Change your dream trip target based on your health, budget and availability. Want to cycle around Europe? Consider booking that trip when you’re in great shape. Ready to hike for a South African travel? 4 . Another route for trips is around airfare. When you see a screamingly good deal for airfare, use that as your opportunity to book. Create a budget and a timeline When planning your first list trip, 5 . Divide that cost by the number of months before the trip to decide if you can save enough to make it happen. In that case, you feel awfully comfortable while travelling. A．you can design a travel strategy B．No two travel wish lists area like C．you should determine how much it will cost D．Make up your mind to choose a better route of the trip E．You must have the time off and funds for this big experience F．Use Pinterest to build a vision board that goes with you anywhere G．Use this guide to learn how to make your dream trip a reality in easy steps Passage 6 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday. As a vegetarian (素食主义者), finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 1 The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me. The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. 2 I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores. 3 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 4 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones. Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 5 A．I ended up eating these every day for breakfast. B．The challenge of finding food is interesting, too. C．So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen. D．Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience. E．It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food. F．Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store. G．By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value. Passage 7 How to Design a Small Garden 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. 1 . Look for a place in your yard where you can see your garden from a window or a spot in your yard so that you’re able to enjoy it. Make sure you can walk into your garden with ease to make it easier to take care of your plants. 2 . Plan the layout for your garden by drawing the outline on the paper. Start by sketching longer rectangles（矩形）for your garden beds so they’re to scale for the actual size you want them. 3 . Be sure to leave an 18-inch space between garden beds so you can easily walk between them and care for your plants. Arrange your design so there are focal points. Aim to have several aspects of your garden design unique so they stand out from the rest of your plants. 4 . Take into consideration where you want people to focus or have their attention drawn to when they look at your garden, and plan your design around those spots. Focal points help your garden feel more inviting and make it more visually pleasing. Put similar plants across from one another to create rhythm and symmetry(对称). Rather than put different plants in each of your garden beds, choose to use the same plant or ones that have similar textures or colors so they’re across from one another. 5 . A．And avoid any inconvenience caused by difficult access B．Try to position smaller plants in between larger ones C．Pick a place where you can easily get to your garden D．You may still be able to measure the length of the rectangles E．Then divide the rectangles into smaller sections for different plants F．This could be a statue or a fountain placed in the center or on either side G．That way, when you look at your garden, it will look inviting and make the area feel more balanced $$ Unit 2 七选五练习 目录 精练篇 1 Passage 1 1 基础篇 4 Passage 1 4 Passage 2 7 Passage 3 9 Passage 4 11 拔高篇 13 Passage 1 13 Passage 2 15 Passage 3 17 Passage 4 19 Passage 5 21 Passage 6 23 Passage 7 25 精练篇 Passage 1 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Travelling abroad can present many challenges, including long journeys, language problems, and culture shocks, plus the expense of transport and accommodation. 1 It is rewarding to get to experience life in different ways.

Many times, when you live in a place, you never really explore some of the local highlights that a visit or might. 2 If I had a friend coming to town who had never been here before, where would I suggest they go? Maybe there’s a historic building you can tour, a nice park that you could hike in, or a new ice cream store you’ve been wanting to try. 3 Do some research online and talk to an adult about what sights are within a close drive. Again, try to think about where you’d go if you were traveling to your city. A local museum or zoo might have a new exhibit you haven’t seen since the last time you visited. If you’re more adventurous, you might head to a state park for a hike or see if there’s a zip line course nearby. Seek out a guided tour. You can look up walking tours for a whole new way to explore your city. Some cities offer walking tours focused on a theme, like food or local parks. 4 Another choice: More than 300 US cities have Segway tours, which can be a fun way to explore far and wide.

B．Start by asking yourself this question. C．Try a Segway tour for a unique adventure. D．Share your experience and attract tourists to your town. E．You can also search for free self-guided walking tours in your area. F．It is quite great to go exploring with a trusted adult in this beautiful season.

The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2 ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● 4 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A．Visit during off-peak times.

This statue is one of the most famous artworks of Greek art. 1 Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866. The Nike consists of two parts: a large ship’s front part, and a standing statue with a total height of more than eighteen feet. It looks like the Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky. 2 The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. 3 The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. 4 She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face. 5 As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before. A．This means that she cannot have held any object. B．The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories. C．It was found on a Greek island in the Aegean sea in 1863. D．This statue was made by artists who left no names in history. E．It’s hard for them to believe such a lifelike statue is made of stone. F．Landing on top of the ship, she celebrates the victory of an ancient battle. G．Despite its incomplete survival, the Winged Victory is truly a masterpiece. 【答案】1．C 2．F 3．E 4．A 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了卢浮宫里的Winged Victory雕像的历史，艺术形态和历史价值。 1．下文“Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866. (后来被带到巴黎，自1866年以来一直在卢浮宫展出。)”说明的是雕像的历史变迁，因此C项“它于1863年在爱琴海的一个希腊岛屿上被发现”符合语境，故选C。 2．上文“Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky (Winged Victory刚刚从空中飞下来)”说明的是雕像的状态，空格处承接上文“飞下来”，然后“降落在船顶”，因此F项“她登上舰顶，庆祝一场古老战役的胜利”符合语境，故选F。 3．上文“The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea. (风把她的裙子吹到身上，卷起厚厚的褶皱，流到身后。当观众看着她时，他们几乎能感觉到来自大海的风)”说明雕像的形态栩栩如生，因此E项“他们很难相信这么逼真的雕像是石头做的”符合语境，故选E。 4．上文“For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. (例如，耐克是否将物体握在她的手中？事实上，人们在1950年发现了她的右手，她的手指是张开的)”说明空格处回答了上文提出的问题：是否将物体握在她的手中？因此A项“这意味着她不能拿任何东西”符合语境，故选A。 5．上文“Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face. (她的头可能直视前方，观众只能猜测她的面部特征)”说明Winged Victory的头部是不存在的，是不完整的，以及下文“As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before (作为现存为数不多的希腊原始雕塑之一，它将继续吸引观众，就像它以前毫无疑问地那样)”说明Winged Victory的重要意义和价值，可知，空格处起着承上启下的作用，因此G项“尽管Winged Victory未完全幸存，但它确实是一部杰作”符合语境，故选G。 Passage 4 How to overcome travel anxiety 难度⭐⭐⭐ Travelling can certainly cause a lot of stress, which can take different forms for different people. 1 By learning them you can enjoy your trip to the fullest.

For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday. As a vegetarian (素食主义者), finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 1 The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me. The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. 2 I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores. 3 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 4 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones. Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. 5 A．I ended up eating these every day for breakfast. B．The challenge of finding food is interesting, too. C．So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen. D．Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience. E．It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food. F．Corn pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store. G．By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．F 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了作者作为素食主义者在旅行中喜欢去当地的食品杂货店购物，以便制作自己的食物。作者在不同的国家发现了各种各样的食品，并通过购物体验当地市民的日常生活。作者认为这是一个有趣而且可以让自己像当地人一样融入当地文化的做法。 1．根据前文“As a vegetarian (素食主义者), finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad.

(但它意味着参与一个国家公民的日常生活)”以及“I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.(我可以看到孩子们向父母乞讨糖果，这是一种不需要语言的国际体验，也可以看到情侣们为周五晚上的派对挑选零食和饮料)”可知，前文强调通过购物可以体验当地市民的日常生活即作者通过购物能够参与一个国家公民的日常生活。E选项“It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.(这是一种理解他人的行为，就像购买食物一样)”承接前文，指出通过购物可以让自己像当地人一样融入当地文化的做法。故选E。 Passage 7 How to Design a Small Garden 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. 1 . Look for a place in your yard where you can see your garden from a window or a spot in your yard so that you’re able to enjoy it. Make sure you can walk into your garden with ease to make it easier to take care of your plants. 2 . Plan the layout for your garden by drawing the outline on the paper. Start by sketching longer rectangles（矩形）for your garden beds so they’re to scale for the actual size you want them. 3 . Be sure to leave an 18-inch space between garden beds so you can easily walk between them and care for your plants. Arrange your design so there are focal points. Aim to have several aspects of your garden design unique so they stand out from the rest of your plants. 4 .

Focal points help your garden feel more inviting and make it more visually pleasing. Put similar plants across from one another to create rhythm and symmetry(对称). Rather than put different plants in each of your garden beds, choose to use the same plant or ones that have similar textures or colors so they’re across from one another. 5 .
