Ⅰ.阅读理解
[话题 徒步旅行者]
My name is Vienna Cammarota.I'm a hiker from Italy.I have been a fan of Italian traveler Marco Polo since childhood, which later led me to become a tour guide.Years of hiking have helped me maintain good health.Even at 75, I still have no need for reading glasses.
About 20 years ago, my interest in China was fueled by a student from Beijing who stayed in my home.The connections we made and the friendships we developed raised my curiosity about China.Following that, I found myself drawn to The Travels of Marco Polo, reading it over and over again to understand China through its vivid descriptions.The description of the ancient Silk Road in the book particularly fascinated me.
In 2018, the idea of retracing the ancient Silk Road came to me, which inspired me to map out a journey covering 22,000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years.At first, my children didn't believe it was practicable.However, as they observed my detailed planning, they gave me their full support.
My journey began on April 26, 2022.For more than two years, I overcame practical challenges and psychological pressures, walked through mountains and waters, and crossed cities and villages in different countries.Along the way, I have gained insights into the history, culture, and customs of each country I visited.As I explored the remains of the ancient Silk Road, I was struck by the vast changes our world has experienced.
The ancient Silk Road is a route that greatly boosted the flow of goods, spread of science and technology, interaction of ideas, and integration of diverse cultures on the Eurasian continent.As I journeyed along this historical route, I witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), carrying forward the legacy(遗产) of the ancient Silk Road, has benefited more and more people across different countries.Many livelihood projects built by China, including highways, railways, and crosssea bridges, have brought tangible results to the people in Belt and Road partner countries.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Vienna Cammarota,一位75岁的意大利徒步旅行者,如何因对中国文化的兴趣而踏上重走丝绸之路的旅程,并从中获得的感悟和对同龄人的鼓励。
1.D [细节理解题。根据第二段中“About 20 years ago, my interest in China was fueled by a student from Beijing who stayed in my home.The connections we made and the friendships we developed raised my curiosity about China.(大约20年前,我对中国的兴趣被一位住在我家的北京学生激发起来。我们之间建立的联系和培养的友谊增强了我对中国的好奇心。)”可知,是一个和她关系亲密的中国学生激发了Vienna对中国的兴趣。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2018, the idea of retracing the ancient Silk Road came to me, which inspired me to map out a journey covering 22,000 kilometers from Venice to Beijing, passing through 15 countries in three to four years.At first, my children didn't believe it was practicable.(2018年,我萌生了重游古丝绸之路的想法,这激励我规划了一段从威尼斯到北京的22 000公里的旅程,在三到四年内穿越15个国家。起初,我的孩子们不相信这是可行的。)”可知,起初她的孩子们对她的旅行计划的第一反应是认为这是不切实际的。]
3.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段“As I journeyed along this historical route, I witnessed that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), carrying forward the legacy(遗产) of the ancient Silk Road, has benefited more and more people across different countries.(在这条历史之路上,我见证了‘一带一路’倡议继承了古丝绸之路的传统,使越来越多的国家人民从中受益。)”可推知,Vienna的旅行是一次见证了“一带一路”倡议影响的长途旅行。]
4.A [词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Many livelihood projects built by China, including highways, railways, and crosssea bridges, have brought tangible results to the people in Belt and Road partner countries.(中国建设的许多民生项目,包括高速公路、铁路和跨海大桥,给‘一带一路’伙伴国家的人民带来了tangible成果。)”可知,高速公路、铁路等项目带来的成果是具体可见的。tangible意为“实际的、具体的”,与A项“Concrete(具体的)”最接近。]
Ⅱ.七选五
[话题 在旅行中获得良好休息的建议]
With sleep tourism on the rise, hotels are beginning to take sleep more seriously.Here are some of tips for getting some rest while traveling.
1__
When we're at home, our bodies relax more easily.Whether it's new sounds or smells, our brains are on highalert and scanning the hotel room as unfamiliar terrain.
So find ways to bring the sensory familiarity of home to your hotel room.Candles are a hard no in hotel rooms, so pack a favorite perfume, lotion, or essential oil that can supplement a warm shower.
Tackle your worries
2__ . The trip may involve difficult family matters or work stress, but typically the things that are keeping us from falling asleep are not ones that you can act on at that moment.We've all heard about the benefits of a gratitude journal, but don't underestimate the power of the worry journal.
Write all of these worries down on a piece of paper as a way to relieve your brain from the burden of them and focus on the task at hand—sleeping.
Stick to your routine
Good sleep is all about routine.Meditating, taking a long shower, using your favorite night cream or turning off your phone, your prebed routine from home are key. __3__ . Your brain starts to understand what comes next is sleep.
Get out of bed
It's 3 a.m.local time, but your internal clock is still set five hours earlier. __4__ . If you're struggling, especially in a new time zone, get yourself out of bed, tossing and turning won't help you.
Do your research
5__ . While there are many things you can do to ensure a good night's sleep while traveling, there are an increasing number of hotels that are eager to help you on your journey.
A.Hard as you try, you just can't fall asleep
B.Repeating those activities while traveling will ease your body and spirit
C.Try reading a book or listening to calming music until you feel sleepy
D.Find the familiar in the unfamiliar
E.Most importantly, find a hotel that takes its hospitality seriously
F.Avoid caffeine and heavy meals before bedtime to ensure a restful night
G.We don't always travel for leisure
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章提供了一些在旅行中获得良好休息的建议。
1.D [根据下文“When we're at home, our bodies relax more easily.Whether it's new sounds or smells, our brains are on highalert and scanning the hotel room as unfamiliar terrain.So find ways to bring the sensory familiarity of home to your hotel room.(当我们在家的时候,我们的身体更容易放松。无论是新的声音还是气味,我们的大脑都会高度警觉,将酒店房间视为陌生的环境。因此,找到方法将家中的感官熟悉感带到你的酒店房间。)”可知,这里强调的是在陌生环境中寻找熟悉感,在酒店找到家的感觉。与D项“Find the familiar in the unfamiliar(在不熟悉中寻找熟悉)”表达的含义一致。]
2.G [根据下文“The trip may involve difficult family matters or work stress, but typically the things that are keeping us from falling asleep are not ones that you can act on at that moment.(旅行可能涉及棘手家庭事务或工作压力,但通常让我们难以入睡的事情并不是你当时可以采取行动的。)”可知,旅行可能涉及困难或压力,可推理出此处说的是有时候我们旅行是因为遇到压力和困难。与G项“We don't always travel for leisure(我们并不总是为了休闲而旅行)”表达的含义一致。]
3.B [根据上文“Good sleep is all about routine.Meditating, taking a long shower, using your favorite night cream or turning off your phone, your prebed routine from home are key.(良好睡眠全在于日常作息。冥想、洗个长时间的淋浴、使用你最喜欢的晚霜或关掉手机,你在家的睡前常规活动是关键。)”可知,上文说的是良好的睡眠全在于日常作息,可推理出下文说的是保持日常作息对于睡眠的重要性。与B项“Repeating those activities while traveling will ease your body and spirit(在旅行中重复这些活动将使你的身体和精神放松)”表达的含义一致。]
4.A [根据下文“If you're struggling, especially in a new time zone, get yourself out of bed, tossing and turning won't help you.(如果你在挣扎,尤其是在新的时区,让自己离开床,辗转反侧不会帮助你。)”可知,下文讨论的是如何应对失眠,可推理出此处说的是无法入睡。与A项“Hard as you try, you just can't fall asleep(尽管你努力,但你就是无法入睡)”表达的含义一致。]
5.E [根据下文“While there are many things you can do to ensure a good night's sleep while traveling, there are an increasing number of hotels that are eager to help you on your journey.(虽然有很多事情你可以做以确保在旅行中有一个良好的夜晚睡眠,但越来越多的酒店渴望在你的旅途中帮助你。)”可知,有很多酒店渴望在你的旅途中帮助你,可推理出此处说的是选择重视其接待服务的酒店。与E项“Most importantly, find a hotel that takes its hospitality seriously(最重要的是,要找到一家真正重视其接待服务的酒店)”表达的含义一致。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕甘肃炳灵寺石窟展开,详细介绍了前往石窟的独特方式、石窟的地理位置、历史价值、曾经遭受的破坏,以及新中国成立后对其进行保护和修复的举措。
1.itself [考查反身代词。句意:对于那些前往甘肃炳灵寺石窟的游客来说,旅程本身就是一种体验。此处用itself作the journey的同位语,表示“旅程本身”。故填itself。]
2.to reach [考查非谓语动词。句意:到达该寺庙的推荐方式是乘坐摆渡船。这里考查the way to do sth.,为固定搭配,意为“做某事的方式”,所以应用不定式作后置定语。故填to reach。]
3.the [考查冠词。句意:到达该寺庙的推荐方式是乘坐摆渡船,这让游客能够看到黄河清澈的绿水与洮河黄色的水流交汇这一自然奇观。此处“natural wonder”是特指“黄河清澈的绿水与洮河黄色的水流交汇”这一自然奇观,所以用定冠词the。故填the。]
4.revealing [考查非谓语动词。句意:当船只靠近时,两侧的山脉逐渐靠拢,展现出红色砂岩丹霞地貌,成为炳灵寺石窟的背景。此处考查非谓语,reveal的逻辑主语是前面的句子,两者之间是主动关系,再由语境可知,这里应用现在分词作结果状语。故填revealing。]
5.where [考查定语从句。句意:第169号洞窟位于寺庙最大佛像上方的悬崖上,是中国有年代可考的最早的石窟,其雕塑风格和图像能让学者追踪佛教在中国古代的传播路线。这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词是Cave 169,在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。]
6.wooden [考查形容词。句意:为了到达那里,游客必须爬上佛像旁边的几级木制楼梯。stairs是名词,前面用形容词修饰,wood的形容词形式wooden,表示“木制的”,符合语境。故填wooden。]
7.that [考查强调句。句意:直到中华人民共和国成立后,才努力对石窟进行修复。这里考查“It was...that...” ,是强调句结构,此处强调时间状语after the founding of the People's Republic of China。故填that。]
8.preservation [考查名词。句意:1955年,为了保护石窟成立了一个机构,1961年,该遗址被宣布为国家重点文化遗产保护单位。their是形容词性物主代词,后接名词,preserve的名词形式preservation,表示“保护”,为不可数名词。故填preservation。]
9.of [考查固定搭配。句意:近年来,由国家和省级资金资助的一系列保护项目已开展来修复石窟。这里考查a series of...,为固定短语,意为“一系列……”,符合语境。故填of。]
10.have been conducted [考查动词语态。句意:近年来,由国家和省级资金资助的一系列保护项目已开展来修复石窟。此空考查谓语动词,In recent years是现在完成时的标志,a series of conservation projects与conduct之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,“a series of...”作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。故填have been conducted。]
