A 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了现代生活中的几种旅行方式，包括飞机、火车、汽车和轮船，并阐述了每种旅行方式的特点和优势。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop if there is something interesting to see.”可知，开车旅行可以根据自己的喜好安排行程，想走多远就走多远，想停就停。因此，空格处应填入与“自由安排行程”相关的内容。选项A“制定你自己的时间表”符合语境。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when travelling on business.”可知，这就是为什么自驾游在休闲旅行中很受欢迎，而商务旅行时人们通常选择火车或飞机。因此，商务旅行时人们通常选择火车或飞机。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages.”、第三段“Many people like to travel by car.”以及第四段“Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible.”可知，每种旅行方式都有其优点，如火车旅行虽然比飞机慢，但有其优势；自驾游很受欢迎；轮船旅行是一种非常愉快的度假方式。由此可推知，文章提到的每种旅行方式都有其优点。故选C。 D ①Hong Kong is excited because the heroes from the Paris 2024 Olympics are visiting the city.

Today, we are going to learn about something really cool—making fans. And these fans are special. They are not just tools, they are pieces of art! Xu Jiadong is 57 years old. He still remembers the day he went to a bamboo forest with his father. They were looking for a special kind of bamboo called “jade bamboo” to make fan ribs (扇骨). This kind has a special white coating (薄膜) and it keeps the bamboo healthy and smooth. Bamboo for fans needs to be just right—not too young and not too old. Five-year-old plants are the best. Xu learned from his father. Now, Xu is really good at making fan ribs. He says that the beauty of a fan is in its lines and turns. When a fan is closed, you can see the two main bamboo pieces that hold it together. Folding (折叠) fans are not just for cooling off. They are full of art and culture. Xu’s dad always made fans by himself. He believed that making every part of the fan by himself kept his art special. Xu still picks bamboo every year. He cooks it, dries it, and keeps it in his workshop for five years. This makes the bamboo strong and ready for making fans. When you hold a fan, you can feel its story. And that’s the magic of fan making! 50. What kind of bamboo is used for making fan ribs? A. Old bamboo B. Young bamboo C. Jade bamboo D. Red bamboo 51. Why does Xu keep the bamboo for five years before making fans? A. To make it soft. B. To make it strong. C. To make it colorful. D. To make it expensive. 52. What is the main idea of the text? A. Fans are just for cooling off. B. Making fans is a special art. C. Fans are not important. D. Fans are only made by machines. 【答案】50. C 51. B 52.

He had no children and was one of the most unlucky people in the world. The villagers were bored with him, because he was always sad and never stopped complaining (抱怨). But one day, a surprising thing happened. Almost everyone heard the news: “The old man is happy today. He doesn’t complain about anything, and he is friendly to everyone.” A lot of villagers went to visit him and asked him the reasons. “Nothing special.” the old man answered, “For eighty years, I’ve been chasing (追求) happiness, but I got nothing. And then I decided to live with happiness and enjoy life. That’s why I am happy now.” In fact, nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you. Remember: Happiness is your decision. 53.

This kind has a special white coating (薄膜) and it keeps the bamboo healthy and smooth. Bamboo for fans needs to be just right—not too young and not too old. Five-year-old plants are the best. Xu learned from his father. Now, Xu is really good at making fan ribs. He says that the beauty of a fan is in its lines and turns. When a fan is closed, you can see the two main bamboo pieces that hold it together. Folding (折叠) fans are not just for cooling off. They are full of art and culture. Xu’s dad always made fans by himself. He believed that making every part of the fan by himself kept his art special. Xu still picks bamboo every year. He cooks it, dries it, and keeps it in his workshop for five years. This makes the bamboo strong and ready for making fans. When you hold a fan, you can feel its story. And that’s the magic of fan making! 50. What kind of bamboo is used for making fan ribs? A. Old bamboo B. Young bamboo C. Jade bamboo D. Red bamboo 51.

He had no children and was one of the most unlucky people in the world. The villagers were bored with him, because he was always sad and never stopped complaining (抱怨). But one day, a surprising thing happened. Almost everyone heard the news: “The old man is happy today. He doesn’t complain about anything, and he is friendly to everyone.” A lot of villagers went to visit him and asked him the reasons. “Nothing special.” the old man answered, “For eighty years, I’ve been chasing (追求) happiness, but I got nothing. And then I decided to live with happiness and enjoy life. That’s why I am happy now.” In fact, nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you. Remember: Happiness is your decision. 53.
