According to the Bhutan Canada Foundation—the main donor to the restoration project—the 250-mile route connects nine districts,28 local governments，one national park and 400 historic and cultural sites.Travelers who follow the entire trail route will cross 18 major bridges and climb 10,000 stairs.It will be possible to walk or mountain bike there. “This is a community-based project in both its building and operation which will restore an ancient cultural treasure and provide a sustainable，net zero carbon experience in the country for travelers，” says Sam Blyth，chair of the Bhutan Canada Foundation.“The Trans Bhutan Trail also reflects the country’s philosophy of Gross National Happiness and will allow the children of Bhutan to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors.” The trail’s westernmost point is the town of Haa，which is near the border with Tibet，China.The easternmost point is Trashigang，near the border of India’s Arunachal Pradesh state.According to a representative for the Bhutan Canada Foundation，an ambitious walker could cover the whole trail in about a month，but most tourists will likely enjoy shorter parts of the trail on three-，four-，or seven-day trips. Due to its “high value，low impact” tourism strategy，Bhutan averages just a few thousand visitors in a typical year.As part of its aim to avoid overtourism，the country charges a mandatory(强制的) $250 per day fee，which includes land transport，accommodations，food and guide service.The cost makes it somewhat prohibitive for many people to visit.And walkers to the Trans Bhutan Trail will have to apply for a permit.They can do this beginning in April. 语篇解读　这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是不丹小径的重新开通让人们去神秘不丹旅游的梦想终于成真。 4．What do we know about the Trans Bhutan Trail?

Dahab is also one of the few places in the area with Internet access，making it attractive to remote workers looking for a peaceful “office” by the sea.Rahma Zein，who chose to go to Dahab on the advice of friends，said，“On a normal day，I wake up，make breakfast，go for a free dive，hang out on the beach，take a hike，eat and then sleep.” She added，“In between sessions，I make phone calls and do my work.” Located on the edge of the Red Sea，the Blue Hole is one of Dahab’s most famous sites and one of the world’s most famous diving sites.Going down to a maximum depth of 328 feet and easily accessible from the shore，the Blue Hole is not influenced by the currents，so its waters are relatively calm.The conditions here are perfect for free divers，as well as advanced divers looking to push their limits in a race. To reduce the traffic here，a local group of divers have created an underwater museum filled with giant statues(雕像) made of recycled materials.The most impressive statue is a life-sized elephant weighing 700 kilograms which has gained the attention of countless tourists. There are also limitless options in shallower waters for those who want to avoid crowded diving spots.Travelers can hike or ride camels to Ras Abu Galum National Protectorate，which covers 400 square kilometers of coastline and offers a better view of sea life. 语篇解读　这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是不丹小径的重新开通让人们去神秘不丹旅游的梦想终于成真。 8．What do we know about Dahab?

Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others，according to Wise Tour，an online provider of tourist information. It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation.Nevertheless，volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s，when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas(VSO)，an international volunteer organization. Traditionally，the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country.However，just as what Meet Yourself depicts，more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers originate from in recent years.Sanlian Lifeweek magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living.Yang Yan，a founder of a volunteer platform，told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas. People try volunteer travel for several reasons.By working voluntarily while traveling，travelers may make a real，positive impact on the world.The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve.Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban dwellers (居民) to get a taste of rural life.For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside，volunteer travel can be a solution.In this way，as Yang comments，travelers can catch some relief from their busy lives，while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries and temporary high-quality labor. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“志愿者旅游”这种新的旅行方式。 12．Why does the author mention Meet Yourself in the beginning of the article? A．To introduce a new way of travel. B．To raise readers’ interest in the TV series. C．To lead up to the topic of volunteer travel. D．To show the popularity of this TV series. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“As the show finds a growing audience，volunteer travel—an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work—has attracted more attention.”可知，作者在文章开头提到Meet Yourself是为了引出“志愿者旅行”的话题。故选C。 13．What does the article tell us about volunteer travel? A．It dates back to the 19th century in the UK. B．Travelers can earn money on their trips. C．It requires travelers to be highly educated. D．It combines travel with meaningful work to help others. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，“志愿者旅游”将旅行与有意义的工作结合起来，以帮助他人。故选D。 14．What does the underlined word “depicts” mean in the fourth paragraph? A．Describes. B．Advocates. C．Generalizes. D．Comments. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据第四段画线词后文“more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers originate from in recent years”可知，这是Meet Yourself所描述的。故选A。 15．Why are more urban residents attracted by volunteer projects in rural areas nowadays? A．To follow a new trend. B．To support the rural tourism industry. C．To give back to society. D．To get away from the worries of city life. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句可知，现在很多城市居民被农村地区的志愿者项目所吸引，是因为这样可以让他们远离城市生活的烦恼。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2023·河北石家庄高二期中) With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever，why not book your next domestic vacation on a train？Compared to other alternatives，it’s comfortable and relaxing.Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead.Most long-distance trains，especially the sleeping car accommodations，sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel，it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent.Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details，make suggestions，and then handle the actual reservations.A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket.When you’re riding on trains，you won’t be provided with a blanket for free，even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular，the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early.Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week，so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note：The times listed on the schedules are departure times，not arrival times. Have fun. 5 Read a book，knit，do a crossword puzzle，or simply watch the world unfold outside the window.To calculate your speed as you do，divide 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts)．If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile，you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。 1．答案　D 解析　根据上文可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被订完，所以要提前安排预订，下文说不管什么时候旅行，至少提前90天预订是个好主意，因此可知，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此”符合语境，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。D项中的summer months呼应下文中的when。故选D。 2．答案　G 解析　根据下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.”可知，你会节省从卧铺到餐厅的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与下文对应，因此推断“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢”符合语境。故选G。 3．答案　C 解析　根据上下文内容可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与上下文对应，因此推断“列车上的温度通常很难控制”符合语境。故选C。 4．答案　E 解析　上文解释了要早点到达车站的原因，强调错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与上文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班”符合语境。故选E。 5．答案　A 解析　根据下文“To calculate your speed as you do...”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人，与下文要计算速度，用不同的方式打发时间对应。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
