Passengers are fighting. Computer systems, and entire airlines, are melting down. Any of those might be reason enough for some to stay off a plane. But for a small, yet growing, number of travelers, the problem with air travel goes way further. They are giving up flying because of its effect on the climate. “I choose to stay grounded because it aligns (一致) with what is true,” said Dan Castrigano, 36, a former teacher who in 2020 signed a promise not to travel by air. “The climate is breaking down.” One Boeing 747 carrying 416 passengers from Heathrow Airport in London to Edinburgh produces the same carbon dioxide as 336 cars traveling the same distance, according to BBC Science Focus, a peer-reviewed magazine. That huge carbon footprint is leading many activists and scientists to issue cries to fly less, or not at all. There is perhaps no country with more anti-flight activists than Sweden, where by 2020, 15, 000 people had signed a nationwide promise to travel without flying for at least one year. The nonprofit behind that movement, We Stay on the Ground, is now raising funds and hopes to get 100, 000 signatories in the next few years. Swedes have coined a word, flygskam, to describe the shame associated with flying. We Stay on the Ground inspired the Flight Free movements in Britain and Australia, as well as Flight Free USA. There are other grass-roots movements, too: Stay Grounded, a global network of over 150 organizations promoting other means to travel, was founded in 2016 and has its headquarters in Austria; Byway, a British travel planning company founded during the Covid-19 lockdown, allows customers to plan flight-free routes across Europe. Airlines are taking efforts to make flying greener, with promises to achieve “net zero” carbon emissions (排放) in the next three decades. Activists say that progress isn’t coming fast enough and are pushing for frequent fliers to at least consider small changes, which they say could add up to big differences. 1. Who is the target audience of the passage? A Airline workers. B. Government employees. C. Frequent fliers. D. Tour guides. 2. Why does the writer mention Dan Castrigano in paragraph 2? A. To give an example. B. To share a story. C. To present an issue. D. To express an opinion. 3. What can be implied from the passage? A. Flight shame goes global. B. Swedes are proud to travel by plane. C. People are trading wheels for wings. D. British are leading in action to fly less. 4. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of giving up flying? A. Dissatisfied. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Confident. 五、七选五 Going on a solo travel adventure is more than just a holiday. ___36___ 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. ___37___ It might mean overcoming language difficulties, finding your way through confusing public transportation systems, or making quick decisions. 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. ___38___ 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. ___39___ 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. ___40___ 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. E. The decisions, both big and small, are entirely yours to make. F. The lessons learned on the road translate into increased self-respect. G. These problem-solving skills become valuable wealth in your everyday life. 六、完形填空 During a recent long international journey, my youngest daughter's airsickness struck again.

As the captain walked away, she smiled and said, “He  51  me.” In that moment, the pilot was exactly the right one to make her feel better about flying. He  52  our day by taking two minutes out of his. It's often the horror stories that make the headlines, but small,  53  moments are still happening all around us.

Computer systems, and entire airlines, are melting down. Any of those might be reason enough for some to stay off a plane. (如今，天空似乎不那么诱人了：机票价格在上涨。乘客们在打架。计算机系统和整个航空公司都在崩溃。其中任何一个都可能是一些人远离飞机的足够理由。)”结合文章主要说明了如今人们开始不再选择航空出现的现象，指出航空旅行对气候的影响。可知，这篇文章的目标读者是经常飞行的人。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““I choose to stay grounded because it aligns (一致) with what is true,” said Dan Castrigano, 36, a former teacher who in 2020 signed a promise not to travel by air. “The climate is breaking down.”(“我选择脚踏实地，因为这符合事实，”36岁的丹·卡斯特里加诺说。他曾是一名教师，在2020年签署了一份不乘飞机旅行的承诺。“气候正在崩溃。”)”可知，作者在第二段提到了丹·卡斯特里加诺是为了举例子。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Swedes have coined a word, flygskam, to describe the shame associated with flying. We Stay on the Ground inspired the Flight Free movements in Britain and Australia, as well as Flight Free USA.

(瑞典人创造了一个词flygskam来形容与飞行有关的羞耻。我们呆在地上启发了英国和澳大利亚的自由飞行运动，以及美国的自由飞行运动。还有其他草根运动：2016年成立的Stay Grounded是一个由150多个组织组成的全球网络，推广其他旅行方式，总部设在奥地利；Byway是一家在新冠疫情封锁期间成立的英国旅行规划公司，该公司允许客户规划欧洲各地的无航班航线。)”可推知，飞行耻辱是全球性的。故选A。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But for a small, yet growing, number of travelers, the problem with air travel goes way further. They are giving up flying because of its effect on the climate. (但对于为数不多但仍在不断增长的旅行者来说，航空旅行的问题要严重得多。由于飞行对气候的影响，他们正在放弃飞行。)”以及文章主要分析了飞机对气候带来的负面影响，可推知，作者对放弃飞行的想法持支持态度。故选B。 五、七选五 Going on a solo travel adventure is more than just a holiday. ___36___ 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!

A。由下文中的in San Francisco for an overnight layover和When we stood in the middle of the terminal可知，我们在旧金山“降落（landing）”，准备过夜。 42. C。由下文中的how to get to our hotel, but also debating ... turn around and go home可知，我们站在航站楼的中央，想要“弄清楚（figuring out）”如何去酒店。 43. A。由下文中的He quietly asked me可知，一名飞行员“走近（approached）”我们。 44. C。由上文中的my youngest daughter's airsickness struck again可知，他悄悄地问“我”，“我”四岁的孩子是不是在飞机上感觉“不舒服的（sick）”那名乘客。此处sick与上文中的airsickness相照应。 45. B。由该空后的someone was going to tell us we now weren't allowed to fly with her可知，“我”点点头，有点“害怕（afraid）”有人会告诉我们不允许再带她乘飞机。 46. A。上下文的描述之间形成了对比转折的关系，故此处用“相反（Instead）”。 47. C。由文中的描述可知，这名机长“亲切地（kindly）”问“我”女儿感觉如何。 48. D。由上文中的Like most young kids以及下文中的 but not this time. They spoke for 60 seconds可知，像大多数小孩一样，她有时会“回避（shies away from）”和陌生人说话，但是这次并没有。 49. A。50. B。由上文中的airsickness以及该段中的refusing to walk through the airport可知，在那60秒中，她从感觉“难受（awful）”，不想走出机场，到“开心地（cheerfully）”笑着，并且蹦蹦跳跳地去往酒店。 51. D。由上文中的asked my young daughter how she was feeling和该空前的smiled可知，此处应填一个可以让 “我”女儿开心地笑，并且概括该机长行为的动词，D项“关心（cared about）”适合此处语境。 52. B。由上文中的the pilot was exactly the right one to make her feel better about flying可知，这名机长只抽出两分钟时间，但是却为我们“化解了困境（saved our day）”。save the day / save one's day意为“挽回局面；扭转败局；化险为夷；化解困境”。 53. C。由上文的描述可知，在我们的身边仍然有一些小而“有意义的（meaningful）”时刻。 54. B。55. D。由该段中的all in the travel industry — and beyond — that take those few minutes to make a world of ...可知，“我”很“感激（grateful）”旅游业的所有人，还有其他行业那些花几分钟时间来让世界变得“不同（difference）”的人。make a world of difference意为“产生截然不同的效果；使……大不一样”。 $$
