揭东区第二中学2024-2025学年第二学期高一级第一次月考 英语试卷 满分120分 考试用时120分钟 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A As for long-distance travel, there are some wonderful destinations that actually offer you great value for your money, especially for those who do not hope to empty their pockets after a holiday. Tokyo, Japan Food lovers should go to this busy city which has the lowest cost of eating out — you can even buy two evening meals (three dishes for each), with a bottle of wine, for just under ￡34. For sightseeing there are plenty of free museums and attractions, while tour bus ticket prices start from as little as ￡11.56. Bangkok, Thailand Thailand’s capital is second to none as the best value long-distance city. Although there isn’t a big difference in all prices compared to the other cities, it is accommodation that really makes it stand out. If you’re only stopping for a long weekend, then be sure to pay a visit to the breathtaking temples. Beijing, China The Chinese capital stands out with the total price of ￡337.49. If you only have one cultural day out during your stay, make it a trip to the Forbidden City. There are some beautiful buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. At the same time they’re home to priceless artificial objects from ancient Chinese emperors’ families. Dubai, UAE Although Dubai does have a reputation for being quite the splurge (挥霍) when it comes to holidays and if you’re going to enjoy shopping or experience the roller-coasters, it is in fact quite worth the money. The city also offers some cheaper prices across its museums, galleries and attractions as well as airport transfers. 1. What can you enjoy in Tokyo, Japan? A. Free bus rides. B. Eating out cheap. C. Visiting galleries free. D. Priceless man-made objects. 2. Which one tops the list of the best value long-distance cities? A. Tokyo. B. Bangkok. C. Beijing. D. Dubai. 3. What is people’s common idea about Dubai? A. Dubai is not a good place for shopping. B. Historical buildings spread everywhere in Dubai. C. Being on vacation in Dubai costs tons of money. D. The roller-coasters there are the best in the world. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个物有所值的远距离旅行目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tokyo, Japan部分内容“Food lovers should go to this busy city which has the lowest cost of eating out — you can even buy two evening meals (three dishes for each), with a bottle of wine, for just under ￡34. (美食爱好者应该去这座繁忙的城市，那里的用餐成本最低——你甚至可以用不到34英镑的价格买到两个人共进的三道菜的晚餐，外加一瓶精选葡萄酒)”可知，在日本东京外出就餐很便宜。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bangkok, Thailand部分内容“Thailand’s capital is second to none as the best value long-distance city. (泰国首都是世界上性价比最高的长途城市)”可知，泰国首都曼谷在最具价值的长途城市排行榜上名列前茅。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dubai, UAE部分内容“Although Dubai does have a reputation for being quite the splurge (挥霍) when it comes to holidays(尽管迪拜在度假方面确实以挥霍无度而闻名)”可知，人们通常认为在迪拜度假要花很多钱。故选C项。 B Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. ‌“It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. ‌“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. ‌“but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ‌“I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. ‌“My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________. A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering 5. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most? A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild. B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings. C. The volunteers donating money to survivors. D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people. 6. How did Natalie help the survivors? A. She gave her toys to other kids. B. She took care of younger children. C. She called on the White House to help. D. She built an information sharing platform. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Living in Rockaway B. Rockaway’s Suffering C. Helping during the Hurricane D. Surviving Hurricane Sandy 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了14岁的Natalie生活的纽约洛克威遭遇飓风桑迪袭击，她受帮助重建的人们鼓舞，通过创建网站帮助幸存者，成为知名人物。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins.(第二天，当他们回到洛克威时，他们发现自己的社区已成一片废墟)”可知，飓风过后Natalie回到洛克威，发现她的社区被摧毁了。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.(在接下来的几天里，那些帮助洛克威重建的男男女女激励了娜塔莉)”可知，帮助洛克威重建的人最激励Natalie。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.(她创建了一个网页，让有需要的幸存者与想要提供帮助的捐赠者进行匹配)”可知，Natalie通过建立一个信息共享平台来帮助幸存者。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house.(14岁的娜塔莉·多恩一直觉得能住在纽约的洛克威很幸运。娜塔莉家离海滩只有几个街区，她从家里就能看到大海，听到海浪声。)”、第二段中“On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard.(2012年10月29日，大海变得汹涌起来。当晚，飓风桑迪袭击了东海岸，洛克威受灾尤为严重)”、第四段中“In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.(在接下来的几天里，那些帮助洛克威恢复的男男女女激励了娜塔莉)”、第六段中 “Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.(娜塔莉的选择是提供帮助。她创建了一个网页，让有需要的幸存者与想要提供帮助的捐赠者进行匹配)”和最后一段中“Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air.(今天，洛克威仍然可以看到破坏的伤疤，但希望已经弥漫)”等内容可知，文章主要讲述了Natalie在飓风桑迪袭击洛克威后，受他人鼓舞，积极帮助幸存者，在灾难后与洛克威一起幸存下来的故事。D项“Surviving Hurricane Sandy(在飓风桑迪中幸存下来)”能概括文章主旨，最适合做文章标题。A项只提及生活在洛克威，未体现核心事件；B项只强调了洛克威的遭遇，未突出Natalie的帮助；C项“during the Hurricane”不准确，Natalie的帮助是在飓风过后。故选D项。 C English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there\s tea, there's hope.” Similarly, a Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German online portal for statistics; global tea production reached approximately 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage in the world — after water, of course. In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations General Assembly has designated May 21 as International Tea Day. According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It's a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country's identity. Making Malaysia's pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects. As an expression of Moroccan hospitality and tradition, mint tea — a mix of green tea, spearmint leaves and sugar — is served during gatherings and negotiations. Apart from its cultural significance, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US. The mania for healthy tea products continues into a new decade as it's used in moisturizers, lip balms and other beauty products. Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink — it's a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life. 8. Why did the author mention the two quotations in the first paragraph? A. For they are famous. B. To show the significance of tea. C. For enriching the readers’ knowledge. D. To show tea has a long history. 9. According to the passage, people consume most in the world. A. tea B. coffee C. water D. wine 10. What does the underlined word “moisturizers” mean in the fifth paragraph? A. medicine. B. drinks. C. art form. D. cream. 11. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Tea has a long history in China. B. Tea has many health benefits. C. Tea is a big part of many cultures around the world. D. May 21 is celebrated as International Tea Day. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了茶在世界各地都很受欢迎以及不同国家的饮茶文化，和茶的一些其他功能。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇点题，引用这两句话“Where there is tea, there's hope.”（有茶的地方就有希望）和“Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.”（柴、米、食用油、盐、酱料、醋和茶是开始一天的七大必需品。）是为了表明茶叶在人们生活中的有着重要地位。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段这句话“It has become the most consumed beverage in the world - after water, of course.”(茶已经成为世界上消耗最多的饮料，当然除了水以外)可知水是世界上消耗最大的。故选C. 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在这一句 “it’s used in moisturizers, lip balms and other beauty products.”中的beauty products可推出画线这个词和lip balms等一样都属于护肤品。moisturizers意为“润肤霜”。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文以与茶有关的谚语开篇点题，接着又分别介绍了茶在世界各地都很受欢迎以及不同国家的饮茶文化，和茶的其他功能，比如做药，做护肤产品。最后总结。A，B，D三个选项文中虽都有提及，但只是涉及本文的一个方面，不能作为主旨。因此，本篇文章的主题是茶世界各地许多文化中的重要组成部分。故选C。 D If all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players, where does that leave non-human figures, like artificial intelligence chatbots? As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry. AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers. In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. The participants were given a mix of poems written by humans and by AI, and the scientists didn’t share anything about the poems’ authorship. The team uncovered a surprise: The participants who didn’t know anything about the poems’ origins gave higher ratings, on average, to those written by the chatbot. Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry? It’s not entirely clear, but part of guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking — and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labor, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”. The study’s findings seem to confirm (证实) some fears about AI, which is that they’ll one day replace human artists and put them out of work. But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky tells the Washington Post. “If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. AI is a player on the world stage. B. AI performs well in poetry writing. C. AI is so playful that it fools the readers. D. AI works well together with all humans. 13. What were participants asked to do with the given poems in the experiment? A. Identify their authors. B. Discuss their meanings. C. Grade them from different aspects. D. Compare them with their own poems. 14. What is a feature of AI-generated poems according to paragraph 3? A. They promote critical thinking. B. They widen readers’ views. C. They require immediate feedback. D. They are easy to understand. 15. What’s Lasky’s attitude towards AI-generated poems? A. Doubtful. B. Welcoming. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一篇发表于《科学报告》新论文表明，在诗歌创作领域，人工智能（AI）可与人类抗衡。AI 聊天机器人能模仿如莎士比亚等著名诗人的诗作，足以迷惑众多读者，不少研究参与者甚至更青睐聊天机器人创作的诗歌。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry. AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers.( 事实证明，在写诗方面，人工智能可以与人类抗衡。根据周四发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一篇新论文，人工智能聊天机器人可以模仿威廉·莎士比亚等著名诗人，足以欺骗许多人类读者。此外，许多研究参与者实际上更喜欢聊天机器人的诗歌，而不是知名作家的作品。)”可知，第一段主要讲的是AI在写诗方面表现很好。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality.(在一项实验中，研究人员要求一组参与者阅读诗歌，并根据从节奏到独创性等14个方面对诗歌进行评分。)”可知，在实验中，参与者被要求对给定的诗歌从不同方面打分。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry? It’s not entirely clear, but part of guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking — and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labor, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”.( 为什么读者似乎更喜欢人工智能生成的诗歌？这还不完全清楚，但部分猜测是它们相对简单易懂。理解人类写的诗需要深刻的批判性思维——这是诗歌吸引力的一个重要部分。但现代读者似乎不想做这种劳动，他们更喜欢能给他们‘即时答案’的文本。)”可知，根据第三段，人工智能生成的诗歌的特点之一是容易理解。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky tells the Washington Post. “If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.”( 但唯一一位作品被纳入实验的在世诗人多萝西娅·拉斯基（Dorothea Lasky）表示，读者喜欢人工智能生成的诗歌并不一定是件坏事。‘诗歌永远是必要的，’拉斯基告诉《华盛顿邮报》：‘如果研究中的这些人阅读人工智能诗歌，并且比人类创作的诗歌更喜欢这首诗，那么对我来说，这是美丽的。他们对一首诗有很好的体验，我不在乎是谁写的。我觉得这里有容纳所有诗人的空间——甚至是机器人诗人。’)”可推知，拉斯基对人工智能生成的诗歌持欢迎的态度。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you been wishing to put on your hiking shoes and enter the woods for a little backpacking trip, but you’re not sure exactly where to start?

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. ‌“It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. ‌“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. ‌“but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ‌“I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. ‌“My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________. A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering 5. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most? A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild. B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings. C. The volunteers donating money to survivors. D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people. 6. How did Natalie help the survivors? A. She gave her toys to other kids. B. She took care of younger children. C. She called on the White House to help. D. She built an information sharing platform. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A Living in Rockaway B. Rockaway’s Suffering C. Helping during the Hurricane D. Surviving Hurricane Sandy C English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, “Where there\s tea, there's hope.” Similarly, a Chinese saying goes that “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German online portal for statistics; global tea production reached approximately 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage in the world — after water, of course. In order to celebrate the popular drink, the United Nations General Assembly has designated May 21 as International Tea Day. According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It's a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country's identity. Making Malaysia's pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects. As an expression of Moroccan hospitality and tradition, mint tea — a mix of green tea, spearmint leaves and sugar — is served during gatherings and negotiations. Apart from its cultural significance, tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. “Tea is cold and lowers the fire,” Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US. The mania for healthy tea products continues into a new decade as it's used in moisturizers, lip balms and other beauty products. Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink — it's a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life. 8. Why did the author mention the two quotations in the first paragraph? A. For they are famous. B. To show the significance of tea. C. For enriching the readers’ knowledge. D. To show tea has a long history. 9. According to the passage, people consume most in the world. A. tea B. coffee C. water D. wine 10. What does the underlined word “moisturizers” mean in the fifth paragraph? A. medicine. B. drinks. C. art form. D. cream. 11. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A Tea has a long history in China. B. Tea has many health benefits. C. Tea is a big part of many cultures around the world. D. May 21 is celebrated as International Tea Day. D If all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players, where does that leave non-human figures, like artificial intelligence chatbots? As it turns out, AI can hold its own against humans when it comes to writing poetry. AI chatbots can imitate famous poets like William Shakespeare well enough to fool many human readers, according to a new paper published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. In addition, many study participants actually preferred the chatbot’s poetry over the works of well-known writers. In an experiment, researchers asked a group of participants to read and rate poems on 14 qualities, ranging from rhythm (韵律) to originality. The participants were given a mix of poems written by humans and by AI, and the scientists didn’t share anything about the poems’ authorship. The team uncovered a surprise: The participants who didn’t know anything about the poems’ origins gave higher ratings, on average, to those written by the chatbot. Why do readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry? It’s not entirely clear, but part of guess is that they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. Understanding poems written by humans requires deep, critical thinking — and that’s a big part of poetry’s appeal. But modern readers don’t seem to want to do this labor, preferring texts that give them “instant answers”. The study’s findings seem to confirm (证实) some fears about AI, which is that they’ll one day replace human artists and put them out of work. But Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky tells the Washington Post. “If these people in the study read AI poems and liked that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They had a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” 12. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. AI is a player on the world stage. B. AI performs well in poetry writing. C. AI is so playful that it fools the readers. D. AI works well together with all humans. 13. What were participants asked to do with the given poems in the experiment? A. Identify their authors. B. Discuss their meanings. C. Grade them from different aspects. D. Compare them with their own poems. 14. What is a feature of AI-generated poems according to paragraph 3? A. They promote critical thinking. B. They widen readers’ views. C. They require immediate feedback. D. They are easy to understand. 15. What’s Lasky’s attitude towards AI-generated poems? A. Doubtful. B. Welcoming. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you been wishing to put on your hiking shoes and enter the woods for a little backpacking trip, but you’re not sure exactly where to start?
