Many foreign tourists share their exciting experiences in China through videos, photos, and stories, attracting millions of views and likes. This trend not only shows the beauty of China but also helps people around the world understand the country better. 近年来，“中国游”现象在海外社交媒体上蔚然成风。众多外国游客通过短视频、照片和故事分享在中国的精彩体验，这些内容收获了数百万次的点击和点赞。这一潮流不仅展现了中国的魅力，更让全球观众对这个国家有了更深入的了解。 One key reason is China's improved visa-free policies. Since 2024, China has made it easier for travelers from many countries to visit by extending visa-free stays.For example, some tourists can now stay in China for up to 240 hours without a visa.This change allows more people to explore China's modern cities, delicious food, and friendly culture. Social media users post about high-speed trains, clean streets, and amazing historical sites like the Great Wall, which surprise many foreigners who used to have wrong ideas about China. 中国放宽免签政策是关键因素之一。自2024年起，中国通过延长免签停留期限，大幅放宽了多国游客的入境限制。例如，部分游客现在可免签在中国停留长达240小时。这一政策调整让更多人得以畅游中国现代化都市、品尝地道美食、体验友好文化。社交媒体用户纷纷晒出高铁出行、整洁街道和长城等历史遗迹的精彩照片，令许多曾对中国抱有偏见的外国游客眼前一亮。 Foreign visitors often share their "eye-opening" trips online. A musician from the US posted videos of his journey in China, saying, "The people here are warm, and the technology is amazing!" Another traveler praised Chinese food and wrote, "Every meal feels like a new adventure." These honest posts help break stereotypes spread by some Western media. As one Quora user said, "Seeing real life in China changes minds better than any news report". 外国游客常在网上分享他们的“大开眼界”之旅。一位美国音乐人发布了中国旅行视频，感叹道：“这里的人民热情周到，科技发展令人惊叹！”另一位旅行者盛赞中国美食，写道：“每顿饭都像是一次新的冒险。”这些真实分享有效打破了西方媒体传播的刻板印象。正如Quora用户所言：“亲眼见证中国的真实生活，比任何新闻报道都更能改变人的认知。” The "China Travel" trend is more than just fun-it builds connections. Many foreigners say communicating with Chinese netizens on platforms like Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) makes them feel welcome. They learn about daily life, music, and even rock bands in China, which they never expected. This cultural exchange shows how social media can bring the world closer. “中国游”热潮不仅带来欢乐，更搭建起人际纽带。许多外国网友表示，在小红书等平台与华人网友互动时倍感亲切。他们意外地了解到中国人的日常生活、音乐乃至摇滚乐队，这种文化交流生动展现了社交媒体如何拉近全球距离。 In short, "China Travel" on social media is not only about tourism but also about sharing truth and friendship. As more people visit and post, China's image as a modern and friendly country continues to grow globally. 简而言之，社交媒体上的“中国旅游”不仅关乎旅游，更关乎分享真相与友谊。随着越来越多的人前来旅游并分享体验，中国作为现代化友好国家的形象在全球范围内持续提升。 实战演练 Passage1 Shenzhen, a Dynamic Metropolis Shenzhen, a shining pearl in southern China, sits beside the Pearl River Delta.

It is covered with snow all year round. And the ice and snow can be thousands of years old. The mountain has an area of about 415 square kilometers and its top reaches 5,596 meters above sea level. In recent years, the number of tourists visiting the mountain has increased greatly. However, this has brought about a big problem—plenty of rubbish. To deal with this problem, the cleaners at the scenic spot have done a lot to help tidy it up. The cleaners’ day begins at 5:30 a.m., preparing for welcoming the first tourists and ends at 7:30 p.m. when tourists descend the mountain. During hot travel periods, like the National Day holiday, they fill nearly 200 outdoor rubbish bags a day. The job is not as easy as many people think. It is dangerous and hard. Liu Haowei is one of the cleaners. He is mainly in charge of cleaning up empty oxygen cylinders (氧气瓶) and other rubbish thrown by visitors on the cliffs (悬崖). The cliffs are quite dangerous. Also, the mountain is very high, which means that the air is thin and that the cleaners may find it hard to breathe during their cleaning process. After the rubbish has been picked up, it is packed and carried down the mountain. Although they meet all the difficulties, Liu and many other cleaners still make great efforts to keep the mountain clean. They feel happy to see that more and more tourists have realized the importance of protecting the environment of the mountain and they have thrown less rubbish. 1．What do we know about Yulong Snow Mountain?

Hundreds of years ago, they moved from their homeland in central China to Southeast China. In Chinese, Hakka means “guest families” as if these people were guests on the land. Clearly, Hakka earth buildings are different from any other traditional architectural (建筑的) form. The buildings are not only huge in size, but also quite strong. To build them, the Hakka people mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things together, and then tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls that stand in a close circle. The heavy walls can not only keep the earth buildings warm in winter and cool in summer, but also protect people against danger. If danger comes, the only door will be closed. People can stay safely in the building for a long time as there’s enough space for food and water in it. Some of the oldest earth buildings date back to the 12th century, and the latest examples were built in the last century. Sometimes people call them roundhouses. But actually, not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well. Most of these buildings have three or four floors, and each one can hold hundreds of people — all sharing the same last name. The first floor is used for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; and the third and fourth floors are used for bedrooms. We Chinese always say, “A nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative.” The earth-building-living Hakka people have the best of both worlds, as neighbors are also relatives. However, these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them. 1．Which may be the picture of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 2．What does the writer mention about the Hakka earth building in Paragraph 2? ①Its advantages (优点).    ②Its history.    ③The building process. ④The building materials.        ⑤The possible dangers. A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．①③④ 3．Which is the structure of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 4．What can we infer from this passage? A．All the buildings are in the same shape. B．People who live in a Hakka earth building are family. C．The Hakka people like to live in earth buildings better than in tall buildings. 5．What will the writer talk about next, most probably? A．How do the Hakka people get along with each other? B．Why are the Hakka people leaving the earth buildings? C．Who don’t the Hakka people want to share the buildings with?

The cleaners’ day begins at 5:30 a.m., preparing for welcoming the first tourists and ends at 7:30 p.m. when tourists descend the mountain. During hot travel periods, like the National Day holiday, they fill nearly 200 outdoor rubbish bags a day. The job is not as easy as many people think. It is dangerous and hard. Liu Haowei is one of the cleaners. He is mainly in charge of cleaning up empty oxygen cylinders (氧气瓶) and other rubbish thrown by visitors on the cliffs (悬崖). The cliffs are quite dangerous. Also, the mountain is very high, which means that the air is thin and that the cleaners may find it hard to breathe during their cleaning process. After the rubbish has been picked up, it is packed and carried down the mountain. Although they meet all the difficulties, Liu and many other cleaners still make great efforts to keep the mountain clean. They feel happy to see that more and more tourists have realized the importance of protecting the environment of the mountain and they have thrown less rubbish. 1．What do we know about Yulong Snow Mountain?

Hundreds of years ago, they moved from their homeland in central China to Southeast China. In Chinese, Hakka means “guest families” as if these people were guests on the land. Clearly, Hakka earth buildings are different from any other traditional architectural (建筑的) form. The buildings are not only huge in size, but also quite strong. To build them, the Hakka people mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things together, and then tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls that stand in a close circle. The heavy walls can not only keep the earth buildings warm in winter and cool in summer, but also protect people against danger. If danger comes, the only door will be closed. People can stay safely in the building for a long time as there’s enough space for food and water in it. Some of the oldest earth buildings date back to the 12th century, and the latest examples were built in the last century. Sometimes people call them roundhouses. But actually, not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well. Most of these buildings have three or four floors, and each one can hold hundreds of people — all sharing the same last name. The first floor is used for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; and the third and fourth floors are used for bedrooms. We Chinese always say, “A nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative.” The earth-building-living Hakka people have the best of both worlds, as neighbors are also relatives. However, these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them. 1．Which may be the picture of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 2．What does the writer mention about the Hakka earth building in Paragraph 2? ①Its advantages (优点).    ②Its history.    ③The building process. ④The building materials.        ⑤The possible dangers. A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．①③④ 3．Which is the structure of the Hakka earth building? A． B． C． 4．What can we infer from this passage? A．All the buildings are in the same shape. B．People who live in a Hakka earth building are family. C．The Hakka people like to live in earth buildings better than in tall buildings. 5．What will the writer talk about next, most probably? A．How do the Hakka people get along with each other? B．Why are the Hakka people leaving the earth buildings? C．Who don’t the Hakka people want to share the buildings with? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了客家土楼的历史、建筑特点，以及当前面临的居住人数减少问题。 1．推理判断题。根据“not all earth buildings are round. Square ones can be found as well”可知，土楼有圆形也有方形，通常是围合式结构，选项A的围合式建筑符合客家土楼特征，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“ mix earth, sand, bamboo, and other things”、“tamp the mixture into nearly 2-meter-thick walls... for a long time”和“keep... warm in winter and cool in summer, protect people against danger”可知，第二段提到了建筑材料、建造过程和优点。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“the first floor is for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor is for keeping grain; the third and fourth floors for bedrooms”可知，土楼结构是“一楼厨房/餐厅→二楼存放粮食→三楼及以上卧室”，对应选项A，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“each one can hold hundreds of people—all sharing the same last name”可知，同住土楼的人是同姓家族。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“these buildings are facing a problem: fewer and fewer people would like to live in them”可知，接下来最可能讲客家人为何离开土楼，故选B。 Passage4 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Xi’an is the capital city of Shaanxi province.
