Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds.But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment — tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles.We were going on survival training!
The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry.Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.
At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules.Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.
After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top.My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest.“We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo.“There are dark clouds coming in.A storm's on its way.”
I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious.He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance.We just finished putting up the tents when it hit.The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.
Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures.But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped.“Don't worry.Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, trying to comfort me.“And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.
And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent.The view was incredible — I could see for miles.As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.
I won't lie — I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way (银河), I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.

The terraced rapeseed (油菜) flower hills of Jiangling, Wuyuan is well-known as one of the four “seas of flowers” in China, attracting thousands of plant-loving tourists to come and appreciate and photograph the vast and endless rapeseed flower fields.
“Rapeseed flowers are the messenger of spring,” said Bin Zhan, manager of Jiangxi Wuyuan Tourism.“Jiangling is the best place for a relaxing spring trip to enjoy the most visually impressive views of golden seas of rapeseed blossoms covering layered terrace fields.”
The rapeseed blossom in the terraced fields of Jiangling, located 45 kilometres to the north-east of Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, reached full bloom in the second week of March.
This year, Wuyuan restores ancient farming traditions and practices to give visitors an idea of the history, culture and folk customs of the county by adding scarecrows (稻草人) in the rapeseed flower fields.The creative scarecrows of Wuyuan County are designed in the shapes of popular cartoon characters, Hui-style architecture and folk customs.They are placed in the rapeseed fields to provide more fun and interactions for visitors on flower viewing tours.
“As flower viewing is becoming more popular in recent years, Jiangling is seeing a growing number of returning visitors, especially professional photographers who come back every year for the dramatic rapeseed blossoms,” Zhan said.“The blossoms only last one to two months.April is the last chance to catch a flower-viewing tour this year.”
In addition to flower viewing, Wuyuan County is also home to the most well-protected ancient Hui-style architecture in China.As one of the most beautiful countryside villages in China, it attracts photographers from around the world every year to document not only the natural scenery, but also the unique farming culture and folk traditions.

Do you like travelling to other places, cities and countries? Many people do.Tourism is a huge industry — it's as large as or larger than the oil, food and car industries.It creates so many jobs that one in every ten people in the world works in tourism.
However, for many people and places, tourism is not a completely positive thing.Some places receive millions of tourists a year, which leads to problems for local people.When tour buses block roads, it's hard for local people to get to work or school.Often, international companies open up, and small shops and restaurants close down.Another problem is accommodation — in Barcelona and New York, for example, many flats and houses are used as tourist accommodation, so homes for local people have become expensive and hard to find.
Tourism can have an effect on the environment as well.Natural areas are ruined to make space to build hotels and tourist facilities, and building them consumes a lot of energy and resources.Historic buildings are damaged, such as those in Venice by large cruise ships (游轮) entering the city.These ships also do harm to animal and plant life.More tourism means more crowds, noise, rubbish and pollution.
Some governments have already taken action.In Barcelona and New York, there are now limits on short-term rental accommodation.The number of cruise ships entering Venice is limited now too.Importantly, individual tourists can help by choosing better ways of visiting places.For example, if tourists visit Venice on a cruise ship but they sleep and eat all their meals on the ship, does the local community in Venice really benefit from their visit? If not, it could be better to choose a different form of tourism, one that benefits the city and local people more.
Despite some problems, if we can make tourism more sustainable (可持续的), everyone can benefit from it, and people can continue to enjoy visiting these places in the future.
