(23-24高一下·海南·期末)While traveling, it’s important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well. It’s always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way. 1 The following are some tips for eco-friendly travel.
Look for a green label (标签)
The demand for eco-friendly travel has resulted in a sharp increase of environmentally friendly labels used by businesses, hotels, and products in the travel industry. 2 There are a few ways to do the research and find out which labels are really environmentally friendly. One choice is to look at the online guides that go through the details of several common labels.
Ask questions
3 Wise travelers can research, ask, or talk to travel companies. This will discover the problems behind the label. Research is absolutely important because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this business. You wouldn’t just buy a car from an ad without understanding what it was or comparing it to others.
Fly less and fly direct
When you fly, make it count. Use long-distance flights when necessary. But change to more eco-friendly choices for more local destinations. 4 By traveling over land, one can cut carbon emissions (碳排放) by as much as 50 percent or 80 percent.
Stay local and buy local
Another way to cut down on flights is to get in touch with the local community. 5 And it can help travelers really understand how life works in that community. Staying local can cut down on travel emissions, and joining in the local community can also reduce a tourist’s cultural and environmental impact.
A.Some destinations have overnight trains.
B.However, not all these labels are really honest.
C.That lets one both tour nature and protect nature.
D.It is recommended that travelers stay in one location longer.
E.Promoting the local economy can actually have green benefits.
F.Trains and buses produce much less carbon emissions than airplanes do.
G.Although some companies have green labels, we don’t quite know for sure.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. G 4. F 5. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章作者围绕“环保旅游”这一主题,给出了几个建议或方法,旨在帮助读者以更环保的方式旅行,以保护自然环境供后代人继续欣赏。
1. 根据上文内容“While traveling, it’s important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well. It’s always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way.(在旅行时,重要的是要以一种保护这些自然景点的方式,让下一代也能享受。以环保的方式旅行总是一个好主意)”可知,上文提出环保的旅游方式。选项C“That lets one both tour nature and protect nature.(这样既可以游览自然又可以保护自然。)”指出,环保的旅游方式既可以游览自然又可以保护自然。故选C。
2. 根据空后的“There are a few ways to do the research and find out which labels are really environmentally friendly.(有几种方法可以做研究,找出哪些标签是真正环保的)”可推测,并不是所有的标签是真正环保的。选项B“However, not all these labels are really honest.(然而,并不是所有的标签都是诚实的。)”与下文内容相符,指出并不是所有的标签都是诚实的,所以我们需要做研究,从而找出真正环保的标签。故选B。
3. 根下文内容“Wise travelers can research, ask, or talk to travel companies. This will discover the problems behind the label. Research is absolutely important because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this business.(明智的旅行者可以研究、询问或与旅游公司交谈。这将发现标签背后的问题。研究是绝对重要的,因为在这个行业里有很多烟雾和镜子)”可知,标签也未必可信。选项G“Although some companies have green labels, we don’t quite know for sure.(虽然有些公司有绿色标签,但我们不太确定。)”与下文内容相符,指出标签未必可信,所以我们需要研究、询问或与旅游公司交谈。故选G。
4. 根据下文“By traveling over land, one can cut carbon emissions (碳排放) by as much as 50 percent or 80 percent.(通过陆路旅行,可以减少50%或80%的碳排放)”可知,下文提到陆地旅行的碳排放和飞机旅行相比要少得多。选项F“Trains and buses produce much less carbon emissions than airplanes do.(火车和公共汽车产生的碳排放量比飞机少得多。)”与下文内容相符,指出火车和公共汽车产生的碳排放量比飞机少得多。故选F。
5. 根据下文内容“And it can help travelers really understand how life works in that community. Staying local can cut down on travel emissions, and joining in the local community can also reduce a tourist’s cultural and environmental impact. (它可以帮助旅行者真正了解那个社区的生活是如何运作的。住在当地可以减少旅行排放,加入当地社区也可以减少游客对文化和环境的影响)”可知,下文提到“这可以帮助旅行者真正了解那个社区的生活方式”,说明空处指的是待在一个地方,这样可以让旅行者深入了解这个社区。选项D“It is recommended that travelers stay in one location longer.(建议旅行者在一个地方停留更长时间。)”与下文内容一致,指的是当旅行者在一个地方停留很久后,就可以更多了解这个地方。故选D。
Passage 2
(23-24高一下·吉林·期末)Are you new to camping and don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone! Camping is one of the best ways to escape your busy life and explore nature But spending the night in the wilderness can seem frightening if you’re a total beginner. 1 .
Research Your Destination
It may seem obvious, but it is one of the absolutely necessary camping tips for beginners.Whether you are heading to a campground or for a wild camping adventure, don’t forget to check the neighbourhood. 2 Is the ground rather rocky, or can you set up your tent on it with no problems? It will help you a lot to know such information ahead of time.
Don’t Buy All the Gear (用具) at Once
3 Besides, you need to invest (投资) in some good quality items like the tent and the sleeping bag. That is why it will be a little costly if you decide to buy all of the gear at once.A good idea is to buy only a couple of items first and borrow the rest from your friends who already have them.
Practise Setting Up a Tent Before You Go
This is a great way to get familiar with your tent. Most people go on their first camping adventure before setting up their tents for the first time. 4 You don’t want to find yourself having problems with your tent in the middle of nowhere when it is about to get dark.
Take a Garbage (垃圾) Bag
Eating on a hike or having dinner or lunch on a camping spot can get dirty with all the plastic covers that you bring along with you. 5 That’s why you should bring a garbage bag for such situations and food rest.
A.Don’t do that!
B.Camping gear is various.
C.Are there any freshwater sources around?
D.Is there anyone you can go together with?
E.Spend some time saving money and buy the best.
F.Prepare for your trip with the helpful camping tips below.
G.You will also have some one-way dishes that you won’t use afterward.

Prepare for your trip with the helpful camping tips below.(使用下面有用的露营技巧为你的旅行做准备。)符合语境。故选F。
2. 上文提到:“Whether you are heading to a campground or for a wild camping adventure, don't forget to check the neighbourhood.(无论你是前往露营地还是进行野外露营探险,别忘了检查周围环境。)”接下来应该是一个具体的问题或细节,询问关于目的地的信息。C选项 Are there any freshwater sources around?(周围有淡水来源吗?)和后面的“Is the ground rather rocky(地面是不是有些岩石)”是并列的,都是在说检查周围环境这件事。故选C。
3. 上文提到:“Don’t Buy All the Gear at Once(不要一次性买齐所有装备)”,选项B.Camping gear is various.(露营装备种类繁多。)直接回答了上面的小标题,因为种类繁多,所以不要一次性买齐所有装备。后面的“Besides, you need to invest(投资) in some good quality items like the tent and the sleeping bag.(此外,你还需要投资一些质量好的东西,比如帐篷和睡袋。)”是更进一步的解释原因,和选项B属于并列关系。故选B。
4. 上文提到:“Most people go on their first camping adventure before setting up their tents for the first time.(大多数人在第一次搭建帐篷之前就开始了他们的第一次露营冒险。)”选项A. Don’t do that!(不要那样做!)直接否定了上文描述的情况,不能没有练习的情况下就去露营,强调了练习的重要性。故选A。
5. 上文提到:“Eating on a hike or having dinner or lunch on a camping spot can get dirty with all the plastic covers that you bring along with you.(在徒步旅行中吃饭或在露营地点吃晚餐或午餐,会因为携带的所有塑料包装而变得脏乱。)”说明了野餐后可能会产生垃圾,需要妥善处理。G. 项You will also have some one-way dishes that you won't use afterward.(你也会有一些一次性的餐具,在之后不会使用。)补充说明了野餐时会产生一次性餐具垃圾,进一步强调了携带垃圾袋的必要性。所以后文说到“That’s why you should bring a garbage bag for such situations and food rest.(这就是为什么在这种情况下以及为残余食物你应该带一个垃圾袋。)。”故选G。

Passage 4
(23-24高一下·福建福州·期末)Street Eats
When it comes to running a restaurant, the three most important factors are location, location, and location! 1 These mobile restaurants can sell food at the busiest corners in a city without paying the high cost of renting a permanent space. They set up early in the morning and sell their food over a tiny counter or through a window. 2 However, mobile food vendors are not a new idea. In fact, they have been around for thousands of years.
Nearly two thousand years ago, the streets of Rome were filled with food carts selling all types of meals, from sweets and snacks to hearty dinners. 3 Many did not have ovens, which made preparing a hot meal at home impossible. So instead, ancient Romans bought their food on the street. They ate and socialized with their neighbors, strengthening the community and helping the local economy at the same time.
Ancient Greece had food carts too. 4 In Sparta, people ate meals of porridge or soup on the go.
Mobile food vendors also have a long history in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, food sellers of the late nineteenth century carried their mini-restaurants on their, backs! These mini-restaurants were made up of a stove, two stools, and a small table. 5 .
The success of mobile food vendors lies in their ability to adapt to the needs of modern society. They provide a fast and convenient dining option for those on the go, while also offering a unique and authentic dining experience. As the world continues to urbanize and become more mobile, it’s likely that mobile food vendors will continue to thrive and evolve.
A.That is what makes food carts such a clever idea.
B.Food carts could bring vendors handsome incomes.
C.Vendors with wooden carts sold fried fish to the people of Athens.
D.The people of Rome lived in tiny homes without much space to cook.
E.At the end of the day, they are packed up and pulled away by a car or truck.
F.Street eats often remind you of the good times you spend with your friends.
G.They could be put together and carried here and there in search of customers.
【答案】1. A 2. E 3. D 4. C 5. G

(流动食品摊贩在东南亚也有着悠久的历史。在印度尼西亚和马来西亚,19世纪末的食品销售商背着他们的迷你餐厅!这些迷你餐厅由一个炉子、两张凳子和一张小桌子组成。)”可知,这里主要介绍动食品摊贩在东南亚的历史,而G项“They could be put together and carried here and there in search of customers.(它们可以被放在一起,带到这里或那里寻找顾客。)”符合语境,选项中They代指前文These mini-restaurants,有承上作用。故选G项。
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·重庆·期末)Explore Your Own Town
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.
【答案】1. F 2. B 3. A 4. E 5. G

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.(我们很容易在日常生活中变得如此忙碌,以至于几乎没有注意到我们生活的这个迷人的世界。花时间了解你自己的城镇或城市可以帮助你了解它的遗产,并以新的眼光看待周围的环境)”可知,此处在讲述花时间了解你自己的城镇或城市,所以F项“It is quite great to go exploring with a trusted adult in this beautiful season.(在这个美丽的季节和一个值得信赖的成年人一起去探险是非常棒的)”符合本段主题,讲述去探索自己的城镇。故选F项。
2. 根据前文“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.(假装你是一个游客。很多时候,当你住在一个地方时,你从来没有真正探索过当地的一些亮点)”以及后文“If I had a friend coming to town who had never been here before, where would I suggest they go?(如果我有一个以前从未来过这里的朋友,我会建议他们去哪里?)”可知,前文讲述假装游客,后文提问,所以空处应是一个过渡句,B项“Start by asking yourself this question.(从问自己这个问题开始)”承接上文,引出下文,符合文意。故选B项。
3. 空处位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“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.(在网上做一些调查,和成年人谈谈近距离开车有什么景点。再一次,试着想想如果你去你的城市旅行,你会去哪里。当地的博物馆或动物园可能会有一个你上次参观后没见过的新展览。如果你更喜欢冒险,你可以去州立公园徒步旅行,或者看看附近是否有高空索道)”可知,本段主要讲述考虑去当地哪些景点,所以A项“Consider local attractions.(考虑当地的景点)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选A项。
4. 根据前文“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.(找一个导游。你可以查找徒步旅行,以一种全新的方式探索你的城市。一些城市提供主题徒步旅行,比如美食或当地公园)”可知,此处讲述用徒步旅行的方式探索你的城市,所以E项“You can also search for free self-guided walking tours in your area.(你也可以搜索你所在地区的免费自助徒步旅行)”符合本段主题,其中walking tours为同词复现。故选E项。
5. 根据前文“Take a photography walk.(进行一次摄影徒步旅行)”可知,本段主要讲述在自己所在的城镇进行拍照之旅,所以G项“Another way to see where you live with fresh eyes is to explore with your camera.(另一种用新鲜的眼光看你住的地方的方法是用你的相机去探索)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合文意。故选G项。

Passage 7
(23-24高一下·广东深圳·期末)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.

Passage 9
(23-24高一下·山东德州·阶段练习)How to limit your environmental impact while travelling
Travelling unlocks a world of endless possibilities and adventures, allowing us to hike through breathtaking landscapes, encounter kangaroos and deer in their natural habitat, and witness the power of volcanoes. 1 Increased plastic waste and noise pollution can damage ecosystems. Thankfully, there are ways to limit our impact on the environment.
Try to travel by land instead of air. While air travel can often be quicker, it is typically one of the most polluting forms of transport. 2 For example, if you’re heading to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, driving for around four hours emits (排放) around 75% less CO2 compared to the one-hour flight (provided you have several friends with you).
3 A typical hotel uses about 73,000 gallons of water per year. As laundering towels (洗熨毛巾) is an energy-and-water-consuming process, many hotels often put up signs asking you to re-use your towels. By doing so, you’ll reduce your environmental impact.
Make the most of safe tap water (自来水). Drinking tap water may come as a shock to many travelers. But when you’re in countries where tap water is safe to consume, avoid bottled options. Not only are they more expensive, but they have a higher level of pollution compared to treated tap water. 4
Respect the local environment. When visiting different destinations, we should recognize the importance of protecting the natural beauty. We mustn’t throw rubbish everywhere. 5 Additionally, supporting local conservation (保护) efforts, such as participating in community-led clean-up projects, can make a positive impact on the local environment.
A.Be a responsible hotel guest.
B.Explore with green tour companies.
C.Instead, carry a bottle and refill it wherever you can
D.And we should avoid activities that may harm wildlife.
E.However, tourism can also be harmful to the environment.
F.Low-cost airlines have made it much more affordable to travel.
G.Taking the train or driving in some countries may be better options.
【答案】1. E 2. G 3. A 4. C 5. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何环保地旅行提出了一些建议。
1. 根据后文“Increased plastic waste and noise pollution can damage ecosystems. Thankfully, there are ways to limit our impact on the environment.(塑料垃圾和噪音污染的增加会破坏生态系统。值得庆幸的是,有一些方法可以限制我们对环境的影响)”可知,本句属于过渡句,主要指出旅游会破坏环境的问题。故E选项“然而,旅游也可能对环境有害”符合语境,故选E。
2. 根据上文“Try to travel by land instead of air. While air travel can often be quicker, it is typically one of the most polluting forms of transport.(尽量乘陆地而不是飞机旅行。虽然航空旅行通常更快,但它通常是污染最严重的交通方式之一)”可知,本句主要承接上文,说明不那么容易带来污染的交通方式。故G选项“在一些国家,坐火车或开车可能是更好的选择”符合语境,故选G。
3. 设空处在为主旨句;根据本段内容“A typical hotel uses about 73,000 gallons of water per year. As laundering towels (洗熨毛巾) is an energy-and-water-consuming process, many hotels often put up signs asking you to re-use your towels. By doing so, you’ll reduce your environmental impact.(一个典型的酒店每年使用大约73000加仑的水。由于洗毛巾是一个耗能和耗水的过程,许多酒店经常会张贴告示,要求你重复使用毛巾。通过这样做,你将减少对环境的影响)”可知,本段主要是关于在酒店住宿如何保护环境。故A选项“做一个负责任的酒店客人”能够概括本段主旨,故选A。
4. 根据上文“Make the most of safe tap water (自来水). Drinking tap water may come as a shock to many travelers. But when you’re in countries where tap water is safe to consume, avoid bottled options. Not only are they more expensive, but they have a higher level of pollution compared to treated tap water.(充分利用安全的自来水。饮用自来水可能会让许多旅行者感到震惊。但是当你在自来水可以安全饮用的国家时,不要选择瓶装水。它们不仅更贵,而且与处理过的自来水相比,它们的污染程度更高)”可知,本段主要关于旅游时如何喝水的问题,且上文提到了不要选择瓶装水,说明了原因,可知本句是在提出解决方案。故C选项“相反,你应该随身携带一个瓶子,然后随时随地补充”符合语境,故选C。
5. 根据上文“Respect the local environment. When visiting different destinations, we should recognize the importance of protecting the natural beauty. We mustn’t throw rubbish everywhere.(尊重当地环境。在游览不同的目的地时,我们应该认识到保护自然美景的重要性。我们不能到处扔垃圾)”可知,本段的主旨是尊重旅游地的环境,环境保护包括保护自然环境和动物,故D选项“我们应该避免可能伤害野生动物的活动”符合语境,故选D。

(吴解释了秸秆编织的过程:材料的选择是一个复杂、耗时和劳动密集型过程的第一步,可能需要数周甚至数月才能完成。你需要在纸上素描,这需要绘画技巧。)” 可知,本段讲解草编的创作过程是按步骤顺序在讲解,下文“Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. (即使完成了这个过程,也不意味着你总是能创造出一件好的作品,最难的部分是让它栩栩如生。)”此句指出了完成的草编的质量很重要;B项“Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work.

4. 根据下文“In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. (过去,几乎在农村的每个家庭都可以找到草编制品。但由于工业化的冲击,制成品取代了这类产品,利润微薄,全国从事这项工作的人只有100人左右。)”可知,这里讲述了草编的现状不容乐观;空处为段落的主题句,应该阐述这种情形。A项“The Current Situation of Straw Weaving(秸秆编织的现状)”符合题意,故选A项。
5. 本段的主题句为The Future of Straw Weaving,主要讲述草编的未来发展趋势,上文“From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture.

The email said, “ 1 And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps can develop their art, math, science, engineering and design skills.”
While the intention is well-meaning, I disagree with his idea. There is so much to see on a road trip! 2 So what can a child do in the car? There are plenty of off-screen activities that a child can do to pass the time.
Take physical books along. Choose some novels for an older reader, get cartoon books, or take interactive books such as I Spy, coloring books, puzzle books, etc.
Play games. 3 Print out a map of the country and color in each state as you notice a license plate from there. Keep a record of the different colored cars you see. Play the old classic alphabet game.
4 Parents can find online lists of good questions to get older kids talking, such as, “If you could travel anywhere in the world, what are your top three destinations and why?” “If you could have a dinner party with three people, who would you invite?” Not only is this fun, but it keeps the driver refreshed.
Long road trips shouldn’t just be about endurance (耐力); they should also be about learning how to pass the time without a screen. So, challenge yourselves to a screen-free road trip the next time you go somewhere as a family. 5
A.Have some conversation starters ready.
B.The Great License Plate Search is a fun one.
C.You may be surprised at what a success it is.
D.Collect your kids’ questions before starting off.
E.Many are turning to road trips for a late-summer escape.
F.Help your kids to make a list of things they’ll see on the trip.
G.If they stare at a screen, they’ll miss everything outside the window.

Passage 1(23-24高一下·海南·期末)While traveling, it’s important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well. It’s always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way. 1 The following are some tips for eco-friendly travel.
Look for a green label (标签)
The demand for eco-friendly travel has resulted in a sharp increase of environmentally friendly labels used by businesses, hotels, and products in the travel industry. 2 There are a few ways to do the research and find out which labels are really environmentally friendly. One choice is to look at the online guides that go through the details of several common labels.
Ask questions
3 Wise travelers can research, ask, or talk to travel companies. This will discover the problems behind the label. Research is absolutely important because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this business. You wouldn’t just buy a car from an ad without understanding what it was or comparing it to others.
Fly less and fly direct
When you fly, make it count. Use long-distance flights when necessary. But change to more eco-friendly choices for more local destinations. 4 By traveling over land, one can cut carbon emissions (碳排放) by as much as 50 percent or 80 percent.
Stay local and buy local
Another way to cut down on flights is to get in touch with the local community. 5 And it can help travelers really understand how life works in that community. Staying local can cut down on travel emissions, and joining in the local community can also reduce a tourist’s cultural and environmental impact.
A.Some destinations have overnight trains.
B.However, not all these labels are really honest.
C.That lets one both tour nature and protect nature.
D.It is recommended that travelers stay in one location longer.
E.Promoting the local economy can actually have green benefits.
F.Trains and buses produce much less carbon emissions than airplanes do.
G.Although some companies have green labels, we don’t quite know for sure.

Passage 4
(23-24高一下·福建福州·期末)Street Eats
When it comes to running a restaurant, the three most important factors are location, location, and location! 1 These mobile restaurants can sell food at the busiest corners in a city without paying the high cost of renting a permanent space. They set up early in the morning and sell their food over a tiny counter or through a window. 2 However, mobile food vendors are not a new idea. In fact, they have been around for thousands of years.
Nearly two thousand years ago, the streets of Rome were filled with food carts selling all types of meals, from sweets and snacks to hearty dinners. 3 Many did not have ovens, which made preparing a hot meal at home impossible. So instead, ancient Romans bought their food on the street. They ate and socialized with their neighbors, strengthening the community and helping the local economy at the same time.
Ancient Greece had food carts too. 4 In Sparta, people ate meals of porridge or soup on the go.
Mobile food vendors also have a long history in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, food sellers of the late nineteenth century carried their mini-restaurants on their, backs! These mini-restaurants were made up of a stove, two stools, and a small table. 5 .
The success of mobile food vendors lies in their ability to adapt to the needs of modern society. They provide a fast and convenient dining option for those on the go, while also offering a unique and authentic dining experience. As the world continues to urbanize and become more mobile, it’s likely that mobile food vendors will continue to thrive and evolve.
A.That is what makes food carts such a clever idea.
B.Food carts could bring vendors handsome incomes.
C.Vendors with wooden carts sold fried fish to the people of Athens.
D.The people of Rome lived in tiny homes without much space to cook.
E.At the end of the day, they are packed up and pulled away by a car or truck.
F.Street eats often remind you of the good times you spend with your friends.
G.They could be put together and carried here and there in search of customers.
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·重庆·期末)Explore Your Own Town
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.

Traveling is fun, but it can also be challenging. 5 Each experience you have will challenge you while teaching you how to grow and how to stand on your own feet, and that’s always best learned when you’re young.

Passage 7
(23-24高一下·广东深圳·期末)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 8
(23-24高一下·浙江杭州·期末)Going on a solo travel adventure is more than just a holiday. 1 The decision to explore the world alone opens the door to a number of experiences that can reshape your life attitudes, build your confidence, and enrich your life in ways you may have never imagined! Here are some ways that solo traveling can change your life.

The decisions you make, from choosing destinations to exploring unfamiliar streets, are totally your own. In this process, you discover aspects of yourself that may have remained unknown in your daily life.
One of the most enriching aspects of solo travel is the opportunity to experience different cultures. 3 Whether it’s starting a conversation with a street vendor (摊贩) or sharing a meal with locals, solo travel provides a unique window into the cultural makeup of each destination.
Solo travel is a constant exercise in adaptability and problem-solving. From understanding foreign languages to managing unexpected changes in plans, you are regularly faced with problems that demand creative solutions. 4
Solo travel is a journey of self-reliance and independence. As you go through the headaches of planning and making a trip on your own, you surely build a deep sense of self-confidence. 5 You have to rely on yourself to choose the next destination, manage your money and solve unexpected problems.
Solo travel is an exploration of the self, an opportunity for cultural immersion (浸润), and a spark for personal growth. The impact of solo travel extends beyond the length of your trip, leaving you with a set of skills, perspectives, and memories that will last a lifetime.
A.Solo travel forces you out of your comfort zone.
B.Being alone makes you more approachable to locals.
C.The challenges sometimes make you feel frustrated.
D.It’s a journey of self-discovery, growth and transformation.

Passage 9
(23-24高一下·山东德州·阶段练习)How to limit your environmental impact while travelling
Travelling unlocks a world of endless possibilities and adventures, allowing us to hike through breathtaking landscapes, encounter kangaroos and deer in their natural habitat, and witness the power of volcanoes. 1 Increased plastic waste and noise pollution can damage ecosystems. Thankfully, there are ways to limit our impact on the environment.
Try to travel by land instead of air. While air travel can often be quicker, it is typically one of the most polluting forms of transport. 2 For example, if you’re heading to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, driving for around four hours emits (排放) around 75% less CO2 compared to the one-hour flight (provided you have several friends with you).
3 A typical hotel uses about 73,000 gallons of water per year. As laundering towels (洗熨毛巾) is an energy-and-water-consuming process, many hotels often put up signs asking you to re-use your towels. By doing so, you’ll reduce your environmental impact.
Make the most of safe tap water (自来水). Drinking tap water may come as a shock to many travelers. But when you’re in countries where tap water is safe to consume, avoid bottled options. Not only are they more expensive, but they have a higher level of pollution compared to treated tap water. 4
Respect the local environment. When visiting different destinations, we should recognize the importance of protecting the natural beauty. We mustn’t throw rubbish everywhere. 5 Additionally, supporting local conservation (保护) efforts, such as participating in community-led clean-up projects, can make a positive impact on the local environment.
A.Be a responsible hotel guest.
B.Explore with green tour companies.
C.Instead, carry a bottle and refill it wherever you can
D.And we should avoid activities that may harm wildlife.
E.However, tourism can also be harmful to the environment.
F.Low-cost airlines have made it much more affordable to travel.
G.Taking the train or driving in some countries may be better options.
Passage 10

But due to the impact of industrialization. manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says.
The Future of Straw Weaving
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “ 5 ,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.

Passage 14
(23-24高一下·山东济宁·期中)Leave the Screens at Home on Your Next Family Road Trip
The other day, a friend sent me an email, asking if I’d consider writing about educational apps for children to watch while on road trips. The email said, “ 1 And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps can develop their art, math, science, engineering and design skills.”
While the intention is well-meaning, I disagree with his idea. There is so much to see on a road trip! 2 So what can a child do in the car? There are plenty of off-screen activities that a child can do to pass the time.
Take physical books along. Choose some novels for an older reader, get cartoon books, or take interactive books such as I Spy, coloring books, puzzle books, etc.
Play games. 3 Print out a map of the country and color in each state as you notice a license plate from there. Keep a record of the different colored cars you see. Play the old classic alphabet game.
4 Parents can find online lists of good questions to get older kids talking, such as, “If you could travel anywhere in the world, what are your top three destinations and why?” “If you could have a dinner party with three people, who would you invite?” Not only is this fun, but it keeps the driver refreshed.
Long road trips shouldn’t just be about endurance (耐力); they should also be about learning how to pass the time without a screen. So, challenge yourselves to a screen-free road trip the next time you go somewhere as a family. 5
A.Have some conversation starters ready.
B.The Great License Plate Search is a fun one.
C.You may be surprised at what a success it is.
D.Collect your kids’ questions before starting off.
E.Many are turning to road trips for a late-summer escape.
F.Help your kids to make a list of things they’ll see on the trip.
G.If they stare at a screen, they’ll miss everything outside the window.
Passage 15
(23-24高一下·河北邯郸·阶段练习)You’ve made the decision that you want to travel more this year. You’ve realized that experiences are more important than possessions (财产) and you’ve put together a plan to start saving for your next big trip. 1 Here are my top tips to help you choose your travel destinations.
Be open-minded.
Haven’t heard of a place? 2 Have no idea where a place is? But you’ve found cheap flights to that place…? Search it using the search engine, check whether it’s safe and if so, book that flight! Sometimes you’ll have the best adventures in places you can’t pronounce, Ljubljana, for example.
3
You want to travel to a certain destination but flights are really expensive? Don’t let this put you off, unlock your creativity and find a solution. Using the example of Ljubljana again, it’s really expensive to fly direct but flights to Venice are cheap and then there’s a 2-hour shuttle (往返) bus from Venice Ljubljana. Problem solved.
Explore travel websites and blogs.
4 Visit travel websites and blogs that specialize in the destinations on your route. These websites often feature articles and lists of top attractions, along with detailed descriptions, impressive photos, and helpful tips from experienced travelers. Take the time to look through these websites and complete a list of the attractions that catch your interest.
Seek suggestions from locals.
Locals are often the best sources of information when it comes to discovering hidden destinations. Engage (接触) with locals through conversations, or social media groups related to your destination. 5
A.Be creative.
B.Can’t even pronounce a place?
C.Avoid the common misunderstandings.
D.Can’t find a way to write your journal?
E.But how are you going to decide where to actually go?
F.The Internet is a place full of valuable information when it comes to travel.
