Unit 2 阅读理解练习 目录 精练篇 1 Passage 1 1 基础篇 5 Passage 1 5 Passage 2 6 Passage 3 8 Passage 4 9 拔高篇 11 Passage 1 11 Passage 2 12 Passage 3 14 Passage 4 15 Passage 5 16 精练篇 Passage 1 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Many of us are familiar with the excitement of planning a vacation to an exotic destination. As the departure date approaches, anticipation builds, and the possibilities seem endless. However, upon returning home, the experience often fades quickly as we settle back into our routines. That incredible experience becomes like a dream — similar to watching a movie, but a lot more expensive. But does it have to be like this? What if it could be a transformative experience that enriches our lives? Over 200 years ago, Mary Wollstonecraft, a philosopher and feminist, started a journey to Scandinavia during a difficult period in her life. Despite her initial intentions to win back her lover, she found comfort in documenting her travels in “Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.” Through her observations and reflections, she not only revolutionized travel writing but also healed herself emotionally. Wollstonecraft’ s approach to travel offers valuable insights for modern-day travelers. Instead of simply sightseeing, she actively engaged with her surroundings, learning about local customs and history, and questioning her own assumptions. She embraced the unpredictability of travel, allowing herself to explore without strict plans. Here are some goals we can construct from Wollstonecraft’s approach to travel: Try to actively know the place you are in. Observe the customs. Interact with the locals. Learn the whys behind the observation. Explore the history. Try to understand the answers in relation to what you are experiencing now. setting aside any previous assumptions.

Challenge confirmation bias by engaging with ideas that differ from our own. Recognize that happiness and fulfillment can be achieved in various ways.(接触多元文化和观点，以拓宽我们的眼界。通过与自己不同的想法交流来挑战确认偏误。认识到幸福和满足可以通过多种方式实现)”可知，心理模型通过接触多元文化来拓宽世界观，从而提升旅行体验。故选D项。 基础篇 Passage 1 难度⭐⭐ You are allowed to bring your pets to Yellowstone National Park. There are specific rules that pet owners must be aware of for the protection and safety of their pets, themselves and wildlife. These rules have been developed over the years from experiences with pets, wildlife and accidents in the park. Yellowstone National Park is a natural area where wildlife is free to wander undisturbed. Park visitors should be able to enjoy native wildlife in their natural environment without the disruption (干扰) of other people’s pets. For this reason, pets are banned in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks or thermal areas (温泉区). Some additional reasons why pets are prohibited in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks: * Pets occasionally escape from their owners. Pet animals generally lack the ability to survive in the wild. * There is a strong possibility that your pet could become prey for a bear, coyote, owl or other predators. * There is a possibility of exchange of diseases between pet animals and wildlife. Pets may accompany you in the front country areas of the park. This includes any area within 100 feet/30.5meters of roads, parking areas and campgrounds. Pets must be kept under physical control at all times — caged, crated or on a leash not to exceed six feet in length. There is no kennel facility within Yellowstone National Park. Remember: Pets leave traces other than footprints. The owner is responsible for cleanup and disposal of all pet body wastes. Please be thoughtful of other visitors as well as your pet. 1．What can park visitors do in Yellowstone National Park? A．Get away from pet animals and wildlife. B．Protect themselves from other visitors’ pets and wildlife. C．Keep physical control of any pet disturbing their visit in the park.

B．On trails and boardwalks. C．In some front country areas. D．In the natural habitats of the wildlife. 3．How many reasons are mentioned to explain why pets are banned in some areas? A．2． B．3． C．4． D．5． Passage 2 难度⭐⭐ After completing my first year of studies, I spent two months travelling in Nepal. There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. This may be a cliché (陈词滥调) that you hear from most travellers regarding the country they travelled to, but I’m saying so because of what I saw among the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball. The people are like a bowl of hot soup on a rainy day – always warm and comforting. Conversations were as natural as if we had known each other for years. All the people I met during my trip made me feel at home and made my journey an unforgettable one. The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino (独角犀牛) and elephants. I also got to attend some cultural shows and experience some of the traditional dances of the Nepalese people. Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited. The environment is great there, and there are a lot of fun things to try out. I chose to go boating on a lake, but you can also go diving. Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning. Nepal is beautiful in so many ways. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and quietness of nature, or go on an exciting adventure, Nepal offers a variety of options. It will surely impress you. 1．What does the author think of the Nepalese people? A．They treat visitors and local people differently. B．They show kindness and warmth even in little things. C．They often provide others with a bowl of hot soup on rainy days. D．It’s easy to talk to them if you have known them for a long time. 2．What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The temperature. B．The Sauraha people. C．The Sauraha village. D．The wildlife. 3．What does the author like about Pokhara? A．The peaceful lifestyle of the villagers. B．Experiencing a traditional Nepalese dance. C．Wild animals such as the one-horned rhino. D．Seeing the sunrise from the top of a hill. 4．What would be the best title for this passage? A．How to Interact with the Nepalese People. B．The Natural Environment of Nepal. C．Useful Tips for Travelling to Nepal D．Nepal: An Impressive and Attractive Country Passage 3 难度⭐⭐ Teachers always do their best within the classroom, but actual learning happens outside those four walls during excursions, says Sherielyn Choi, an English teacher at the all-girls secondary school, Canossa College, in Hong Kong. “Excursions offer valuable hands-on learning opportunities and help students consolidate (巩固) what they learn at a theoretical level in class,” Choi says. “Additionally, every time our students return from their excursions, I observe that they improve socially and emotionally, with better communication and cooperation skills.” She speaks from fresh experience since her students recently took part in the educational tour,  “Macau Unlocked: A Journey of Discovery for Students 2023-2024”, jointly organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and South China Morning Post. The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices. Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress. Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!” Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.” 1．What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean? A．School hours. B．Social activities. C．Short journeys. D．Sports competitions. 2．What can we know about the activity? A．It is a tailored project. B．It is funded by MGTO. C．It takes traditional routes. D．It better suits newcomers. 3．What impressed Jayde e Lai most? A．The stories behind the historic sites. B．The expertise of the local guides. C．Macao’s sustainable practices. D．Macao’s vibrant cultural life. 4．How does Sherielyn Choi feel about the event mentioned in the text? A．She feels it can be perfected. B．She is highly favourable to it. C．She is surprised about its effect. D．She expects more challenging activities. Passage 4 难度⭐⭐ Here are some of European cities for football lovers. Munich Germany’s most successful team regularly sells out the ultramodern 75,000-capacity Allianz Arena. The stadium is a real spectacle. If you can’t get there for a match, the behind-the-scenes tour is a good alternative. Tours include access to the FC Bayern Museum, where countless trophies are on display. Stadium tour: £9.5 for children, £22 for adults. Barcelona Although Camp Nou stadium is being rebuilt, the museum remains open in another part of the Camp Nou complex. Ticket upgrades include a “Robokeeper” option for kids who want to practice their football skills in the stadium. Barcelona is a fun city to explore with kids, with beaches, ice-cream shops, the family-friendly CosmoCaixa science museum. Museum entry: £18 for children, £24 for adults. London The 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was opened in 2019. On non-match days, the stadium tour is an eye-opener—kids can sit in the same dressing room seats as their heroes, but just as appealing for families is the Dare Skywalk, an ascent up the stadium exterior (suitable for ages eight and above). Stadium tour: £16 for children, £27 for adults. Dare Skywalk: £31 for children, £39 for adults. Liverpool Anfield Stadium is one of the best-known football stadiums on the planet. Young fans will find plenty to enjoy on the stadium tour, with photo opportunities, dressing room access and great views across the city.

This experience provided me with a chance to learn about China’s space-themed tourism. The Space City is where the Chinese aerospace dream begins. In 1970, China’s first man-made satellite “Dongfanghong-1” was launched from the Dongfangho ng satellite launch site. In 2018, the Dongfanghong satellite launch site became a patriotic (爱国的) education base. The current launch site is called the “Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center”, and it is famous for being China’s only manned space launch site. For visitors, the quickest way to travel from Beijing to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is by flying to Jiayuguan Jiuquan Airport and then taking a four-hour drive to the city. The view through the car window reveals the vast Gobi Desert, with the sun casting its rays upon the “lonely” road. It is a landscape with little greenery and few buildings or other signs of human life. However, inside the Space City, you’ll find a whole new world: a park, a cinema, a clinic, a supermarket, hotels, restaurants, bakeries and clothing stores. There’s even a farmers’ market and a popular milk tea stand. Visitors to the Space City are often recommended to taste the “Aerospace Milk” and “Acrospace Yogurt”. Visitors can also taste grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse at the launch site. Visitors have the impression that they’re in an ordinary Chinese town. It is only when you come across roads named after “Taikong” and “Yuzhou” that you truly understand the unique identity of this area. Local people have even designed the streetlights in the shape of rockets launching spacecraft. There is also a souvenir (纪念品) shop in the Space City where you can buy various models of rockets, satellites and astronauts. 1．What may the author be? A．A news reporter. B．A tourist guide. C．A space scientist. D．A local governor. 2．What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Space City? A．Its education base. B．Its origin of the name. C．Its location and tourism. D．Its history and present situation. 3．What can visitors do inside the Space City? A．Enjoy sunset. B．Visit Gobi Desert. C．Taste local products. D．Buy streetlight models. 4．From which section is the text probably taken? A．Education. B．Tourism. C．Sports. D．Culture. Passage 2 难度⭐⭐⭐ A Chinese movie “No More Bets” could potentially frighten Chinese visitors away from Thailand, as researchers and data suggest. The film portrays Chinese citizens are tricked into online investments, gambling, and digital money called cryptocurrency in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. A report said criminal groups have forced hundreds of thousands in Southeast Asia into illegal activities. While the movie topped the box office in China, making over $500 million in its first month, concerns have been raised about its impact on Chinese tourism. At one point in the movie, abducted Chinese travelers are traveling in a small vehicle, which runs under a road sign for “Sukhumvit”, a well-known area in Bangkok. Despite experts playing down the lasting effect on tourism to Thailand, there are worries that it may discourage some tourists, particularly those heading to Bangkok. The movie’s success has also caused reactions in neighboring countries. Cambodia banned its showing due to the presence of Khmer language and Myanmar said it tarnishes the country’s image. Vincent Zhuang, a former Robb Report employee, remains positive about Thailand as a tourist destination for Chinese travelers but acknowledges that bad news can easily keep away some possible visitors. With “No More Bets” based on true events, it has added credibility among viewers. There has been a noticeable decrease in Chinese arrivals to Thailand, with only 2.2 million recorded through August, falling short of the predicted 5 million by the end of 2023. Actually other reasons must be considered though. With the current world economy facing a slowdown, air travel to Thailand remains below pre-pandemic levels. Furthermore, a shooting incident in Bangkok in September claimed the lives of three individuals, resulting in 60,000 Chinese tourists calling off their plans to visit Thailand. 1．What’s the main focus of “No More Bets”? A．Travelers experiencing holiday adventures. B．Chinese citizens falling for some illegal tricks. C．Tourism service in Southeast Asian countries. D．Culture shocks between China and Thailand. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “tarnish”? A．Cast a shadow on. B．Bring attention to. C．Make contributions to. D．Think highly of. 3．Which does Vincent Zhuang agree? A．Thailand is no longer a destination for Chinese tourists. B．The film can affect potential Chinese visitors to Thailand. C．Chinese tourists are unaffected by the negative incidents. D．Thailand tourism is on a rise due to the Chinese market. 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．The film’s impacts on neighboring countries. B．The public attitudes toward Thailand tourism. C．The real-life problems happening in Thailand. D．The factors stopping Chinese visiting Thailand. Passage 3 难度⭐⭐⭐ Joy Ryan didn’t get a passport until she was aged 91. But a year after becoming the oldest person to visit all 63 National Parks in the US, Grandma Joy is setting out on a new global challenge with her grandson Brad Ryan, 42. This pair, who became famous in 2023 for exploring their national parks, are now planning to travel to all seven continents in the world together. “I don’t have many years left, so hurry up and go,” Grandma Joy, now 94, says. “If I slow down, I don't get anything done.” While Brad assumed that traveling with an elderly person might spoil the fun a little bit, he quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. “It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer,” he says, explaining that having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. “I wasn’t rushing through the places that I was visiting. I was really taking the time to appreciate smaller details.” In the nearly 10 years since their first trip, Brad has noticed a big change in Grandma Joy’s physical health, explaining that she was quite shaky in the beginning but has become a lot more capable. Being able to share so many special moments with Grandma Joy has also meant that Brad has been able to ask questions that he’s never had the opportunity to ask before. While they clearly get on well with each other. the pair’s significant age gap has unavoidably led to occasional conflicts, especially when it comes to their different tastes in music. Life is very short. As for Grandma Joy, she’s enjoying making up for lost time, and now has several stamps in her first passport. “As for me, the glass is half full, not half empty. And the people that I meet along the way lift my spirits. Besides, not everybody is lucky enough to have a grandson that’s willing to drag them around,” she says. 1．What is the new ambition of Grandma Joy and Brad? A．To get passports B．To tour the world. C．To become famous musicians. D．To visit all national parks in the US 2．What does the underlined word “spoil” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Bring. B．Record. C．Ruin. D．Spread. 3．How has traveling together affected Grandma Joy and Brad? A．They have built a closer relationship. B．They have collected several glasses. C．They have learned to avoid all conflicts. D．They have developed the same taste for music. 4．Which word can best describe Grandma Joy? A．Humourous. B．Generous. C．Honest. D．Optimistic. Passage 4 难度⭐⭐⭐ Four rural villages in China were named Best Tourism Villages 2023 by the World Tourism Organization. Huangling village in Jiangxi province, set in a hilly and mountainous region, is known for its surprising natural scenery, traditional architecture, and the preservation of ancient customs. The ancient houses in Huangling village are characterized by whitewashed walls, black-tiled roofs, and complex carved wooden elements. The village, rated as a national AAAA scenic spot, draws worldwide visitors throughout the year to view its live landscape. Zhagana village, a globally important agricultural and cultural heritage site, is located at an altitude of 3,000 to 3,300 meters and is surrounded by mountains, in Gansu province. The steep mountains and Tibetan-style houses make up a “grand stone palace” where tourists can enjoy the harmony of nature and culture. Xiajiang village, located in East China’s Zhejiang province, is famous for its undestroyed natural beauty and a profound cultural heritage ranging from traditional folk culture to historical “red culture”. The village has introduced unique tourism routes, high-level cultural programs, and a diverse range of celebrations. Zhujiawan village, situated in Zhashui county, Shangluo city, possesses a variety of over 1,200 species of diverse animals and plant resources.

D．They all have various celebration festivals. Passage 5 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Set 40 kilometers northeast of the city of Ambatondrazaka, Madagascar, the Zahamena National Park has overall land coverage of 643 square kilometers, but only about 420 square kilometers is open to the public. It receives an average rainfall level of around 6 feet every year and experiences frequent rain showers even during the dry season between April and October. And elevations (海拔) inside the park range from 250 to 1,560 meters, which has resulted in a diversity (多样性) of climates. One really interesting thing about the Zahamena National Park is its unique highland landform (高地地貌). The development of several ecosystems that all together exist within its area greatly depends on it. And this is also the reason why the types of wildlife living in one area of its wide range are different in another, which makes it quite exciting to explore. This protected region’s main area is divided into two parts: the eastern and western areas, with a separate piece of ground in the middle where many small villages are located. Zahamena means “red trees”, which suggests a tree species scientifically called Diatum unifoliatum. It lives only in Zahamena and is characterized by its typically deep reddish-orange color. Established as a strict natural highland habitat for nature conservation (保护) in 1927, the Zahamena National Park was officially awarded the honorary title of national park in 1997 and was finally opened to the public. Due to its amazing landform and unique local biodiversity, this national park was later listed as a key part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana in 2007. Unluckily, there are no hotels or restaurants around the national park. So Zahamena is not an easy rainforest—this national park needs people with a high level of fitness and people with low requirements concerning accommodations. Everyone who is not discouraged by this will be able to expect an amazing rainforest experience in a location which has a small number of tourists. 1．What do we know about the Zahamena National Park? A．It is hard to reach due to conservation rules. B．It has changeable weather all year round. C．It has a great difference in elevations. D．It is famous for its traditional villages. 2．What has caused several ecosystems in the park? A．The complete food chain of wildlife there. B．The wet weather condition there. C．The conservation efforts there. D．The special landform there. 3．What is the Zahamena National Park most probably named after? A．A cultural belief. B．A local tree species. C．The unique geography. D．The local village group. 4．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A．The tough condition of Zahamena. B．People’s high level of fitness. C．Its geographical location. D．The diversity of climates. $$ Unit 2 阅读理解练习 目录 精练篇 1 Passage 1 1 基础篇 5 Passage 1 5 Passage 2 7 Passage 3 9 Passage 4 12 拔高篇 14 Passage 1 14 Passage 2 16 Passage 3 19 Passage 4 21 Passage 5 23 精练篇 Passage 1 难度⭐⭐⭐⭐ Many of us are familiar with the excitement of planning a vacation to an exotic destination.

Challenge confirmation bias by engaging with ideas that differ from our own. Recognize that happiness and fulfillment can be achieved in various ways.(接触多元文化和观点，以拓宽我们的眼界。通过与自己不同的想法交流来挑战确认偏误。认识到幸福和满足可以通过多种方式实现)”可知，心理模型通过接触多元文化来拓宽世界观，从而提升旅行体验。故选D项。 基础篇 Passage 1 难度⭐⭐ You are allowed to bring your pets to Yellowstone National Park. There are specific rules that pet owners must be aware of for the protection and safety of their pets, themselves and wildlife. These rules have been developed over the years from experiences with pets, wildlife and accidents in the park. Yellowstone National Park is a natural area where wildlife is free to wander undisturbed.

There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. This may be a cliché (陈词滥调) that you hear from most travellers regarding the country they travelled to, but I’m saying so because of what I saw among the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball. The people are like a bowl of hot soup on a rainy day – always warm and comforting. Conversations were as natural as if we had known each other for years. All the people I met during my trip made me feel at home and made my journey an unforgettable one. The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino (独角犀牛) and elephants. I also got to attend some cultural shows and experience some of the traditional dances of the Nepalese people. Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited. The environment is great there, and there are a lot of fun things to try out. I chose to go boating on a lake, but you can also go diving. Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning. Nepal is beautiful in so many ways. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and quietness of nature, or go on an exciting adventure, Nepal offers a variety of options. It will surely impress you. 1．What does the author think of the Nepalese people? A．They treat visitors and local people differently. B．They show kindness and warmth even in little things. C．They often provide others with a bowl of hot soup on rainy days. D．It’s easy to talk to them if you have known them for a long time. 2．What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The temperature. B．The Sauraha people. C．The Sauraha village. D．The wildlife. 3．What does the author like about Pokhara? A．The peaceful lifestyle of the villagers. B．Experiencing a traditional Nepalese dance. C．Wild animals such as the one-horned rhino. D．Seeing the sunrise from the top of a hill. 4．What would be the best title for this passage? A．How to Interact with the Nepalese People. B．The Natural Environment of Nepal. C．Useful Tips for Travelling to Nepal D．Nepal: An Impressive and Attractive Country 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去尼泊尔旅游的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need.(我首先注意到的是尼泊尔的人民。他们善良友好，随时准备帮助需要帮助的人)”及“Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball.(当地人之间的细微互动让我相信尼泊尔人真的很好。通过公共汽车司机和乘客让公共汽车等待最后的乘客，或司机微笑着向一个追着球跑到街上的孩子挥手致意就能展示出来)”可知，作者认为尼泊尔人民即使在小事上也表现出善意和热情。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词it前文“The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino and elephants.(Sauraha村是我的第一个目的地。这是一个安静祥和的地方，人们按照自己的节奏生活。虽然白天温度很高，但这是一个可以看到一些野生动物的好地方，比如独角犀牛和大象)”可知，文中的两个it都指代前文提到的The Sauraha village这个地方。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited.(在我去过的尼泊尔所有地方中，博卡拉无疑是我去过的最好的地方)”及“Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning.(附近的一些山丘提供了清晨日出的绝佳景色)”可知，作者喜欢博卡拉是由于可以在那里的山顶上看日出。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“After completing my first year of studies, I spent two months travelling in Nepal. There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same.(完成第一年的学习后，我在尼泊尔旅行了两个月。有那么多的景点要看，有那么多的食物要吃，有那么多有趣的活动要尝试。我只经历了其中的几个，但这仍然是一次不可思议的经历)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了作者在尼泊尔旅游的经历，这次经历让作者印象深刻，认为尼泊尔是一个很吸引人的国家。D选项“尼泊尔：一个令人印象深刻和有吸引力的国家”符合本文主旨大意，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 3 难度⭐⭐ Teachers always do their best within the classroom, but actual learning happens outside those four walls during excursions, says Sherielyn Choi, an English teacher at the all-girls secondary school, Canossa College, in Hong Kong. “Excursions offer valuable hands-on learning opportunities and help students consolidate (巩固) what they learn at a theoretical level in class,” Choi says. “Additionally, every time our students return from their excursions, I observe that they improve socially and emotionally, with better communication and cooperation skills.” She speaks from fresh experience since her students recently took part in the educational tour,  “Macau Unlocked: A Journey of Discovery for Students 2023-2024”, jointly organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and South China Morning Post. The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices. Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress. Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!” Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.” 1．What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean? A．School hours. B．Social activities. C．Short journeys. D．Sports competitions. 2．What can we know about the activity? A．It is a tailored project. B．It is funded by MGTO. C．It takes traditional routes. D．It better suits newcomers. 3．What impressed Jayde e Lai most? A．The stories behind the historic sites. B．The expertise of the local guides. C．Macao’s sustainable practices.

This experience provided me with a chance to learn about China’s space-themed tourism. The Space City is where the Chinese aerospace dream begins. In 1970, China’s first man-made satellite “Dongfanghong-1” was launched from the Dongfangho ng satellite launch site. In 2018, the Dongfanghong satellite launch site became a patriotic (爱国的) education base. The current launch site is called the “Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center”, and it is famous for being China’s only manned space launch site. For visitors, the quickest way to travel from Beijing to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is by flying to Jiayuguan Jiuquan Airport and then taking a four-hour drive to the city. The view through the car window reveals the vast Gobi Desert, with the sun casting its rays upon the “lonely” road. It is a landscape with little greenery and few buildings or other signs of human life. However, inside the Space City, you’ll find a whole new world: a park, a cinema, a clinic, a supermarket, hotels, restaurants, bakeries and clothing stores. There’s even a farmers’ market and a popular milk tea stand. Visitors to the Space City are often recommended to taste the “Aerospace Milk” and “Acrospace Yogurt”. Visitors can also taste grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse at the launch site. Visitors have the impression that they’re in an ordinary Chinese town. It is only when you come across roads named after “Taikong” and “Yuzhou” that you truly understand the unique identity of this area. Local people have even designed the streetlights in the shape of rockets launching spacecraft. There is also a souvenir (纪念品) shop in the Space City where you can buy various models of rockets, satellites and astronauts. 1．What may the author be? A．A news reporter. B．A tourist guide. C．A space scientist. D．A local governor. 2．What does paragraph 2 tell us about the Space City? A．Its education base. B．Its origin of the name. C．Its location and tourism. D．Its history and present situation. 3．What can visitors do inside the Space City? A．Enjoy sunset. B．Visit Gobi Desert. C．Taste local products. D．Buy streetlight models. 4．From which section is the text probably taken? A．Education. B．Tourism. C．Sports. D．Culture. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了以太空为主题的旅游点——东风太空城。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Recently, I had the opportunity to spend a few days at “Dongfeng Space City” near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, where I was sent by the national newspaper to cover the launch (发射) of the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft. (最近，我有机会在酒泉卫星发射中心附近的“东风航天城”呆了几天，在那里我被国家报纸派去报道神舟18号载人飞船的发射)”可知，作者报道了神州18号载人飞船的发射。由此可推知作者是一名记者。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Space City is where the Chinese aerospace dream begins. In 1970, China’s first man-made satellite “Dongfanghong-1” was launched from the Dongfangho ng satellite launch site. In 2018, the Dongfanghong satellite launch site became a patriotic (爱国的) education base. The current launch site is called the “Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center”, and it is famous for being China’s only manned space launch site.( 航天城是中国航天梦开始的地方。1970年，中国第一颗人造卫星“东方红一号”在东方湖卫星发射场成功发射。2018年，东方红卫星发射场成为爱国主义教育基地。目前的发射场被称为“酒泉卫星发射中心”，它以中国唯一的载人航天发射场而闻名)”可知，第二段中以时间顺序介绍了太空城的历史和现状。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Visitors to the Space City are often recommended to taste the “Aerospace Milk” and “Acrospace Yogurt”. Visitors can also taste grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables from the greenhouse at the launch site.( 游客们经常被推荐品尝“航天牛奶”和“航天酸奶”。游客们还可以品尝到发射现场温室里的葡萄、西瓜、西红柿和其他水果和蔬菜)”可知，到太空城的游客们经常被推荐品尝“航天牛奶”和“航天酸奶”。游客们还可以品尝到发射现场温室里的葡萄、西瓜、西红柿和其他水果和蔬菜即品尝当地特产。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了以太空为主题的旅游点——东风太空城，由此推断，本文属于旅游业范畴。故选B。 Passage 2 难度⭐⭐⭐ A Chinese movie “No More Bets” could potentially frighten Chinese visitors away from Thailand, as researchers and data suggest. The film portrays Chinese citizens are tricked into online investments, gambling, and digital money called cryptocurrency in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. A report said criminal groups have forced hundreds of thousands in Southeast Asia into illegal activities. While the movie topped the box office in China, making over $500 million in its first month, concerns have been raised about its impact on Chinese tourism. At one point in the movie, abducted Chinese travelers are traveling in a small vehicle, which runs under a road sign for “Sukhumvit”, a well-known area in Bangkok. Despite experts playing down the lasting effect on tourism to Thailand, there are worries that it may discourage some tourists, particularly those heading to Bangkok. The movie’s success has also caused reactions in neighboring countries. Cambodia banned its showing due to the presence of Khmer language and Myanmar said it tarnishes the country’s image. Vincent Zhuang, a former Robb Report employee, remains positive about Thailand as a tourist destination for Chinese travelers but acknowledges that bad news can easily keep away some possible visitors. With “No More Bets” based on true events, it has added credibility among viewers. There has been a noticeable decrease in Chinese arrivals to Thailand, with only 2.2 million recorded through August, falling short of the predicted 5 million by the end of 2023. Actually other reasons must be considered though. With the current world economy facing a slowdown, air travel to Thailand remains below pre-pandemic levels. Furthermore, a shooting incident in Bangkok in September claimed the lives of three individuals, resulting in 60,000 Chinese tourists calling off their plans to visit Thailand. 1．What’s the main focus of “No More Bets”? A．Travelers experiencing holiday adventures. B．Chinese citizens falling for some illegal tricks. C．Tourism service in Southeast Asian countries. D．Culture shocks between China and Thailand. 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “tarnish”? A．Cast a shadow on. B．Bring attention to. C．Make contributions to.

The film portrays Chinese citizens are tricked into online investments, gambling, and digital money called cryptocurrency in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. A report said criminal groups have forced hundreds of thousands in Southeast Asia into illegal activities.(研究人员和数据显示，一部中国电影《孤注一掷》可能会让中国游客对泰国望而却步。这部电影描绘了中国公民在一个不知名的东南亚国家被骗进行在线投资、赌博和被称为加密货币的数字货币。一份报告称，犯罪集团迫使东南亚数十万人从事非法活动。)”可知，这部电影主要聚焦的是中国公民上当受骗。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第一段的“A Chinese movie “No More Bets” could potentially frighten Chinese visitors away from Thailand, as researchers and data suggest. The film portrays Chinese citizens are tricked into online investments, gambling, and digital money called cryptocurrency in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. A report said criminal groups have forced hundreds of thousands in Southeast Asia into illegal activities.(研究人员和数据显示，一部中国电影《孤注一掷》可能会让中国游客对泰国望而却步。这部电影描绘了中国公民在一个不知名的东南亚国家被骗进行在线投资、赌博和被称为加密货币的数字货币。一份报告称，犯罪集团迫使东南亚数十万人从事非法活动。)”和第三段的“The movie’s success has also caused reactions in neighboring countries. Cambodia banned its showing due to the presence of Khmer language and Myanmar said it tarnishes the country’s image.(这部电影的成功也引起了邻国的反应。柬埔寨以高棉语为由禁止播放，缅甸称其……了国家形象。) ”可知，电影描绘的东南亚的非法活动引起了部分东南亚国家的不满，柬埔寨以涉及高棉语为由禁止电影播放，缅甸则会认为电影对其国家形象带来了不好的影响，因此短语“cast a shadow on(使……罩上一层阴影，使……黯然失色)”可以解释划线单词。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Vincent Zhuang, a former Robb Report employee, remains positive about Thailand as a tourist destination for Chinese travelers but acknowledges that bad news can easily keep away some possible visitors. With “No More Bets” based on true events, it has added credibility among viewers.(罗博报告前雇员文森特·庄对泰国作为中国游客的旅游目的地持乐观态度，但他承认，坏消息很容易让一些潜在的游客望而却步。《孤注一掷》根据真实事件改编，在观众中增加了可信度。)”可知，Vincent Zhuang认为这部电影可能会影响到潜在的前往泰国的中国游客。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第五段的“There has been a noticeable decrease in Chinese arrivals to Thailand, with only 2.2 million recorded through August, falling short of the predicted 5 million by the end of 2023. Actually other reasons must be considered though. With the current world economy facing a slowdown, air travel to Thailand remains below pre-pandemic levels. Furthermore, a shooting incident in Bangkok in September claimed the lives of three individuals, resulting in 60,000 Chinese tourists calling off their plans to visit Thailand.(到泰国旅游的中国游客数量明显减少，截至8月份只有220万人次，低于2023年底预计的500万人次。实际上，我们必须考虑其他原因。由于目前世界经济面临放缓，前往泰国的航空旅行仍低于疫情爆发前的水平。此外，9月份在曼谷发生的枪击事件造成3人死亡，导致6万名中国游客取消了前往泰国的计划。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是 阻止中国人去泰国旅游的因素，包括经济发展缓慢以及枪击事件。故选D。 Passage 3 难度⭐⭐⭐ Joy Ryan didn’t get a passport until she was aged 91. But a year after becoming the oldest person to visit all 63 National Parks in the US, Grandma Joy is setting out on a new global challenge with her grandson Brad Ryan, 42. This pair, who became famous in 2023 for exploring their national parks, are now planning to travel to all seven continents in the world together. “I don’t have many years left, so hurry up and go,” Grandma Joy, now 94, says. “If I slow down, I don't get anything done.” While Brad assumed that traveling with an elderly person might spoil the fun a little bit, he quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. “It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer,” he says, explaining that having to move more slowly meant he was able to take everything in in a more meaningful way. “I wasn’t rushing through the places that I was visiting. I was really taking the time to appreciate smaller details.” In the nearly 10 years since their first trip, Brad has noticed a big change in Grandma Joy’s physical health, explaining that she was quite shaky in the beginning but has become a lot more capable. Being able to share so many special moments with Grandma Joy has also meant that Brad has been able to ask questions that he’s never had the opportunity to ask before. While they clearly get on well with each other. the pair’s significant age gap has unavoidably led to occasional conflicts, especially when it comes to their different tastes in music. Life is very short. As for Grandma Joy, she’s enjoying making up for lost time, and now has several stamps in her first passport. “As for me, the glass is half full, not half empty. And the people that I meet along the way lift my spirits. Besides, not everybody is lucky enough to have a grandson that’s willing to drag them around,” she says. 1．What is the new ambition of Grandma Joy and Brad? A．To get passports B．To tour the world. C．To become famous musicians. D．To visit all national parks in the US 2．What does the underlined word “spoil” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Bring. B．Record. C．Ruin. D．Spread. 3．How has traveling together affected Grandma Joy and Brad? A．They have built a closer relationship. B．They have collected several glasses. C．They have learned to avoid all conflicts. D．They have developed the same taste for music. 4．Which word can best describe Grandma Joy? A．Humourous. B．Generous. C．Honest. D．Optimistic. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫乔伊·瑞安的94岁的老奶奶与其孙子布拉德·瑞安的非凡旅行经历。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Grandma Joy is setting out on a new global challenge with her grandson Brad Ryan, 42.(乔伊奶奶和42岁的孙子布拉德·瑞安一起开始了一项新的全球挑战)”及文章第二段“This pair, who became famous in 2023 for exploring their national parks, are now planning to travel to all seven continents in the world together.(这对在2023年因遍访国家公园而闻名的祖孙二人，现在正计划一起游历世界七大洲)”可知，乔伊奶奶和布拉德新目标是环游世界。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“he quickly found that this wasn’t the case. In fact, it was quite the opposite. “It made the experience of being in the great outdoors much richer,” he says(他很快发现事实并非如此。事实上，情况恰恰相反。他解释说：“和奶奶一起在户外的体验使整个旅程更加丰富”)”可知，布拉德之前认为和老人一起旅行可能会有点破坏乐趣，故划线词与C项“破坏”意义相近。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Being able to share so many special moments with Grandma Joy has also meant that Brad has been able to ask questions that he’s never had the opportunity to ask before.(能够与乔伊奶奶共享如此多的特别时刻，也意味着布拉德有机会提出以前从未有机会问过的问题)”可推知，乔伊奶奶和布拉德一起旅行让他们的关系更加亲近。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““As for me, the glass is half full, not half empty. And the people that I meet along the way lift my spirits. Besides, not everybody is lucky enough to have a grandson that’s willing to drag them around,” she says.(“对我来说，杯子是半满的，而不是半空的。沿途遇到的人们提升了我的精神。况且，并不是每个人都有一个愿意带着他们到处跑的孙子，”她说)”可知，乔伊奶奶非常乐观。故选D项。 Passage 4 难度⭐⭐⭐ Four rural villages in China were named Best Tourism Villages 2023 by the World Tourism Organization.

It receives an average rainfall level of around 6 feet every year and experiences frequent rain showers even during the dry season between April and October. And elevations (海拔) inside the park range from 250 to 1,560 meters, which has resulted in a diversity (多样性) of climates. One really interesting thing about the Zahamena National Park is its unique highland landform (高地地貌). The development of several ecosystems that all together exist within its area greatly depends on it. And this is also the reason why the types of wildlife living in one area of its wide range are different in another, which makes it quite exciting to explore. This protected region’s main area is divided into two parts: the eastern and western areas, with a separate piece of ground in the middle where many small villages are located. Zahamena means “red trees”, which suggests a tree species scientifically called Diatum unifoliatum. It lives only in Zahamena and is characterized by its typically deep reddish-orange color. Established as a strict natural highland habitat for nature conservation (保护) in 1927, the Zahamena National Park was officially awarded the honorary title of national park in 1997 and was finally opened to the public. Due to its amazing landform and unique local biodiversity, this national park was later listed as a key part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana in 2007. Unluckily, there are no hotels or restaurants around the national park. So Zahamena is not an easy rainforest—this national park needs people with a high level of fitness and people with low requirements concerning accommodations. Everyone who is not discouraged by this will be able to expect an amazing rainforest experience in a location which has a small number of tourists. 1．What do we know about the Zahamena National Park? A．It is hard to reach due to conservation rules. B．It has changeable weather all year round. C．It has a great difference in elevations. D．It is famous for its traditional villages. 2．What has caused several ecosystems in the park? A．The complete food chain of wildlife there. B．The wet weather condition there. C．The conservation efforts there. D．The special landform there. 3．What is the Zahamena National Park most probably named after? A．A cultural belief. B．A local tree species. C．The unique geography. D．The local village group. 4．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A．The tough condition of Zahamena. B．People’s high level of fitness. C．Its geographical location. D．The diversity of climates. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是说明文，文章介绍了Zahamena国家公园。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“And elevations (海拔) inside the park range from 250 to 1,560 meters, which has resulted in a diversity (多样性) of climates.（公园内海拔从 250 米到 1,560 米不等，这导致了气候的多样性。）”可知，Zahamena国家公园的海拔高度差异很大。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“One really interesting thing about the Zahamena National Park is its unique highland landform (高地地貌). The development of several ecosystems that all together exist within its area greatly depends on it. （扎哈梅纳国家公园真正有趣的一件事是其独特的高地地貌。其区域内共同存在的多个生态系统的发展很大程度上取决于它。）”可知，因为这里独特的高原地形特征，这个公园里同时具有多种生态系统。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Zahamena means ‘red trees’, which suggests a tree species scientifically called Diatum unifoliatum. It lives only in Zahamena and is characterized by its typically deep reddish-orange color.（Zahamena 的意思是‘红树’，指的是一种科学上称为 Diatum unifoliatum 的树种。这种树种只生长在 Zahamena，其特点是典型的深红橙色。）”可知，这个公园可能是以当地的一种树木命名的。故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Unluckily, there are no hotels or restaurants around the national park. So Zahamenais not an easy rainforest—this national park needs people with a high level of fitness and people with low requirements concerning accommodations.（不幸的是，国家公园周围没有酒店或餐馆。所以扎哈梅奈并不是一个容易相处的雨林——这个国家公园需要身体素质高的人和对住宿要求不高的人）”可知，画线词指的是Zahamena国家公园艰苦的条件。故选A。 $$
