(2025·枣庄一模)Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets — this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.
To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot.Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic local snacks.
Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people, or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more inclusive experience of the places you visit.Besides interacting with a city, Citywalk provides young people with a new social scene, where they who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from firsttier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and thirdtier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved.Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.Xiao Yiyi, a young entrepreneur in Changsha, recently launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in openair museums”.Her Changsha route features more offbeat sights like historical architecture from the 19th century, artsy old alleys, and even a stopoff to sample the local spicy crayfish specialty.
Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs.At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with everchanging market demands.

D.To make new friends.

7.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though Citywalk is a relatively new phenomenon, it is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences based on their interests and needs.At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with everchanging market demands.(尽管Citywalk是一个相对较新的现象,但它为城市旅行者提供了一个积极的变化,因为他们可以根据自己的兴趣和需求更好地选择体验。与此同时,城市步行街也为导游和旅游服务供应商提供了一个机会,让他们能够提供更有针对性、更专业的服务,以满足不断变化的市场需求)”可知,作者认为Citywalk让城市旅行者可以根据自己的兴趣和需求更好地选择体验内容,同时也让导游和旅游服务供应商能够提供更有针对性、更专业的服务,以满足不断变化的市场需求。由此推知,作者对于Citywalk这一旅行趋势是持赞成态度的。故选A。

(2025·武汉模拟)“For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak, cross a frontier, or document a new species or landscape.Now in some cases, we're racing to be the last,” said New York Times' Paige McClanahan.
In recent years, a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change—lastchance tourism.According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, a UKbased organic recycling and waste processing company lastchance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.
As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness.One tourist spot, the Sea of Ice in France, opened an exhibit in 2021 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change.This educational push seems to be having an impact, as a 2023 survey showed that 80% of the visitors would try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it while 77% said that they would reduce their water and energy use.
However, the lastchance tourism industry may become kind of our concern.As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and over tourism, leading to their destruction.Just as many scholars put it, lastchance tourism is a paradox (悖论).
Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change it's even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet.It's not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it's even more important to avoid making it worse.
8.What does the author intend to do by quoting Paige McClanahan's words?
A.To highlight the value of New York Times.
B.To recall and memorize the good old days.
C.To channel readers' awareness to climate change.
D.To introduce the subject of lastchance tourism.
9.What may be considered as lastchance tourism?
A.Visiting the Confucius Temple in China.
B.Taking an adventurous trip to the depths of the ocean.
C.Climbing the snowcovered mountain of Kilimanjaro.
D.Admiring the unique Spanish architecture at Cusco, Peru.
10.What does the underlined word “imperiled” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A.Popular. B.Remote.
C.Endangered. D.Preserved.
11.Which of the following statements best describes lastchance tourism?
A.It's a doubleedged sword.
B.It's a stone to kill two birds.
C.It's a life jacket in the stormy sea.
D.It's a dream that will never come true.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新兴产业——最后一次机会的旅游。
8.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“‘For thousands of years, humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak, cross a frontier, or document a new species or landscape.Now in some cases, we're racing to be the last,’ said New York Times' Paige McClanahan.(‘几千年来,人类一直在争先恐后地攀登高峰、跨越边境或记录新物种或景观。现在,在某些情况下,我们正在争先恐后地成为最后一个,’纽约时报的佩奇麦克拉纳汉说。)”及第二段中“In recent years, a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change—lastchance tourism.(近年来,气候变化刺激了一个不断发展的行业——最后机会的旅游业。)”可知,通过引用Paige McClanahan的话,作者引出了主题,即由于气候变化而催生的“最后机会旅游”。故选D项。
9.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As temperatures and water levels rise, this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.(随着气温和水位的上升,这可能意味着抓住最后的机会去看大堡礁,北极冰川和一个正在下沉的偏远岛屿。)”可知,乞力马扎罗山由于全球变暖,冰雪覆盖正在消退,这符合“最后机会旅游”的定义。故选C项。
10.C 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations, some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness.(随着数以百万计的游客涌向……的目的地,一些人正在利用日益增长的需求来传播环保意识。)”可知,游客正在涌向那些些由于气候变化而面临威胁的景点,可推知imperiled意为“濒危的”故选C项。
11.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone, they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and over tourism, leading to their destruction.Just as many scholars put it, lastchance tourism is a paradox (悖论).(随着越来越多的人惊慌失措地涌入这些地区,希望在它们消失之前看到它们,它们实际上导致了温室气体排放和过度旅游的增加,导致它们的破坏。正如许多学者所说,最后机会旅游是一个悖论。)”可知lastchance tourism虽然能提高环境保护意识,但大量游客的涌入也加剧了温室气体排放和过度旅游,反而可能导致这些景点的进一步破坏。这是一把双刃剑,既有正面影响,也有负面影响。故选A项。
