Bangkok The city’s more than 320,000 restaurants serve a wide range of cuisines (菜肴) from Thai to anywhere in the world,and its more than 500,000 street food stands ensure that food is available anywhere in Bangkok 24 hours a day. Planning tip:Bangkok’s bars and clubs are not allowed to be open all night — in fact,most close at the relatively early time of 1 a.m. Chiang Mai Chiang Mai is a great place to explore the surrounding mountains,caves and waterfalls.The Chiang Mai area also has more than 300 temples.But there is plenty to experience besides temples.Unlike any other in Thailand,Northern Thai cuisine is inspired as it is by foreign culture and nearly 200 years under Burmese rule. Planning tip:From late February to early April,Chiang Mai is usually filled with smoke from farmers burning land in the mountains to plant their crops. Phuket It is the biggest island in Thailand,but Phuket has an entirely different culture from the rest of the country:a mix of Hokkien Chinese,Thai and Malaysian.Little wonder why Phuket is one of Thailand’s most-visited attractions.Phuket’s architecture is also unique,for it was ruled by the Portuguese. Planning tip:September to October is Phuket’s rainy season,so try to avoid the island during this time.There are plenty of other great attractions beyond Phuket to consider visiting too. Khao Yai National Park A 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok,Khao Yai has been a popular weekend spot for nature-loving Bangkokians for decades.The top attraction,of course,is the 2166 sq km (836 sq miles) that compose Thailand’s most-visited national park.Khao Yai can provide hours of entertainment for people of any age. Planning tip:You should hire a guide ahead of time if you are going wildlife spotting. 1.When is suitable for travelling in Thailand? A.February. B.July. C.September. D.December. 2.Which place could serve Chinese food if you travel to Thailand? A.Bangkok. B.Chiang Mai. C.Phuket. D.Khao Yai National Park. 3.Which place is a top choice for a nature lover with a 4-year-old boy? A.Bangkok. B.Chiang Mai. C.Phuket. D.Khao Yai National Park. B (2025山东济宁高二上月考) Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words. For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do:the fastest,shortest,easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything. Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner,our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband,or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me. That is how I found myself on the road with four kids,a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour,let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They’d get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air. We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons. We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories. I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence. Some road trips are by necessarily fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself. 4.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home? A.It was less tiring. B.It would be faster and safer. C.Her kids would feel less confined. D.She felt better with other drivers nearby. 5.What does the author discover from the trip according to paragraph 6? A.Freeways are where beauty hides. B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life. C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health. D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals. 6.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home? A.To give herself some time to read. B.To order some food for them. C.To play a game with them. D.To let them cool down. 7.What could be the best title for the passage? A.Charm of the Detour B.The Road to Bravery C.Creativity out of Necessity D.Road Trip and Country Life C (2025广东揭阳普宁华侨中学高二上期中) Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone?A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos.The company founder,Zach Beattie,is developing his business,using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company.He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself. The first trip is to Lisbon,Portugal,in July.It takes 7 to 10 days,with small groups of up to 16 people.Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650,including accommodations,meals and ground transportation.The plan includes at least three excursions(远足) and two social events,with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing.The tour also includes surfing lessons,yoga on the beach,a day of sailing and dinner with a local family. “When you’re somewhere new,there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said.“Your phone can distract you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance.“We want it to be voluntary,” he said.“We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk.It’s held by you,but put in your pocket,and you state your intentions for the week,whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.” Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants,both for emergencies and to promote socializing.Participants may bring regular cameras,but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip.Once the trip is over,participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts. 8.What can be learned about Zach Beattie? A.He set up his business at his own expense. B.He is always guiding every trip personally. C.He forbids tourists to take along cellphones. D.He used to earn his living in a tour company. 9.What do we know about the Lisbon trip? A.The trip features sightseeing. B.Participants live in homestays. C.Air tickets are covered in the cost. D.Tourists experience water sports. 10.What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do? A.Lock their phones in a trunk. B.Post their photos on social media. C.Free themselves from their phones. D.Shift their focus onto dumbphones. 11.What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone? A.Take photos. B.Access the Internet. C.Record the trip.
