Historical and cultural theme parks in China are booming, offering gateways to the past. From vivid recreation to grand theatrical shows, these parks bring ancient dynasties to life. Here are four top-rated destinations for time-traveling across China’s history.
Millennium City Park (Kaifeng, Henan)
Step into the Northern Song Dynasty (960 — 1127) at this park, a 1:1 recreation of Zhang Zeduan’s iconic painting The Qingming Scroll. Wander Song-style streets, watch live shows like Judge Bao Solves Cases and Yue Fei’s Duel, and join folk activities such as a landlord’s daughter choosing a husband. The nightly water show Dream of the Eastern Capital wraps you in Song music, dance, and lights.
Tang Paradise (Xi’an, Shaanxi)
Transport yourself to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618 — 907) in this 66.7-hectare royal garden replica (复制品). Admire grand palaces, lotus ponds, and poetry lanes carved with verses by Li Bai and Du Fu. Don’t miss Dream Back to Tang Dynasty, a spectacular water-and-fire show with 300 performers, and taste authentic Tang snacks like roasted lamb and sesame cakes.
Songcheng (Hangzhou, Zhejiang)
Journey to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279) in Hangzhou’s historic water town. Wander around bustling market streets with blacksmiths, teahouses, and costumed performers. The park’s signature show The Romance of the Song Dynasty blends dance, acrobatics, and special effects to retell classic tales. Combine it with nearby water parks for a full day of culture and fun.
Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park (Changzhou, Jiangsu)
Travel back 2,700 years to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 — 476 BCE) on the ruins of an ancient city. Explore palaces, battlefields, and schools of thought like Confucianism and Taoism. Ride themed attractions like the Bagua Maze and watch stunt shows restaging ancient wars. The night spectacle lights up the ruins, making history feel alive.

In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.
One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours.
Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel has helped preserve endangered crafts and save dying traditions.
However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.
Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs.
7. How does slow travel cut environmental harm?
A. By visiting fewer destinations.
B. By avoiding all motor transport.
C. By booking low-carbon package tours.
D. By staying and eating at local places.
8. What can we infer about slow travel from paragraph 3?
A. It encourages tourists to record local history.
B. It allows tourists to live with residents.
C. It boosts local economy and cultural heritage.
D. It turns local handicrafts into souvenirs.
9. What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean?
A. Valuable. B. Essential.
C. Worthwhile. D. Practicable.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The rising popularity of slow travel and its driving factors.
B. The benefits and future development of slow travel.
C. Travel companies’ adaptation to the trend of slow travel.
D. The environmental and cultural impacts of slow travel.
【答案】7. D 8. C 9. D 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了慢旅行作为快节奏大众旅游的回应兴起,阐述其环保、文化方面的益处,也提及挑战及当下的发展趋势。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint.(通过选择入住当地经营的住宿、在家庭式餐厅就餐,以及乘坐公共交通或骑自行车,旅行者能大幅减少碳足迹)”可知,慢旅行通过入住当地住宿、在当地就餐等方式减少环境危害。故选D。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel has helped preserve endangered crafts and save dying traditions.(这不仅丰富了旅行体验,还为当地社区带来了经济收益。在一些农村地区,慢旅行助力保护了濒危的手工艺,挽救了濒临消失的传统)”可推知,慢旅行能推动当地经济发展,保护文化遗产。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.(此外,由于时间或预算限制,慢旅行可能并非对所有人都feasible。对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说,在一个目的地待上数周似乎并不现实)”可知,后文的“unrealistic(不现实的)”是对前文的解释。由此推测,feasible意为“可行的”。D选项Practicable表示“可行的;切实可行的”,符合语境。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In recent years, the concept of ‘slow travel’ has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.(近年来,“慢旅行”的概念作为一种对快节奏、大众旅游主导行业的反应而出现。慢旅行鼓励旅行者深入体验当地文化,在目的地停留更长时间,并与当地社区建立有意义的联系)”,并结合全文可知,文章第一段引出慢旅行的概念;第二、三段分别阐述慢旅行在减少环境影响、促进文化理解和当地发展方面的益处;第四段说明慢旅行面临的挑战;第五段讲述尽管有挑战,慢旅行仍在发展,旅游公司也推出相关配套服务。由此可知,全文核心围绕慢旅行的益处和未来发展展开。故选B。
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
11. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
12. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
13. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
14. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
【答案】11. D 12. D 13. C 14. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究,说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响,以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时,她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反:订单如潮水般涌来,仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知,Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时,并没有抱太大希望,但实际情况是订单很多,生意出奇地好。故选D。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示:“身处植物周围的学生,其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示,在植物丰富的工作环境中,人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知,Knuth的研究发现,接触植物的学生学业表现更好,成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高,病假率降低,因此,“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说:“医生需要不断实践医术,律师需要持续精进法律实务,而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它,但如果它枯萎了,就再养一株新的。”)”可知,Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的,重要的是持续努力。由此推断,她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起,第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率,第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
二、七选五

【答案】例文
Windows, Not Just Mirrors: Redefining Study Tours
Recently, I’ve found our overseas study tours focus too much on sightseeing instead of real cultural exchange. We seldom connect with local people or their lifestyles.
Overseas tours are about deeper connections, not just tourism. We can arrange homestays for students to experience daily life directly. We can also offer hands-on activities like local cooking, traditional craft workshops or music lessons, which encourage active participation and meaningful communication. Besides, letting students shadow a local peer for a full day provides an authentic insight into their life and education.
I sincerely hope these proposals will be adopted to create truly immersive and rewarding study tour experiences.

I Once Adopted a Three-legged Dog
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a dog. But my parents were firmly against it. “Taking care of a dog is a lifetime commitment,” they’d say, “and you’re not ready for that.”
No matter how I begged, the answer was always the same. The battle dragged on until my tenth birthday.
“Nancy,” my father said with a big smile, “I got you a puppy for your birthday!”
I shouted in delight and ran towards him, only to find that it was a dog-like robot. Seeing my disappointment, my father knelt down and explained, “This is a ‘Think It Over’ puppy. Take care of it for a while, and then we’ll talk about a real dog.”
Unwillingly, I accepted the puppy and named it Friday since it was Friday that day. At first, I was skeptical how a robot could teach me anything about caring for a real dog. But as the days went by, I began to see the point my father was trying to make.
Friday demanded constant attention. It needed to be “fed” with recharged batteries frequently and “cleaned” to keep its sensors functioning properly. It even had a mood system. If I ignored it for too long, it would make sad sounds and refuse to stop until I spent time with it.
One day, I forgot to “feed” Friday. When I came home after a particularly long day at school, it was lying on the floor, with its eyes closed. I felt very guilty, as if I had killed a real pet. I quickly replaced its batteries and apologized, promising to be more responsible.
That moment was a turning point. Since then, Friday became part of my daily life, and I began to take pride in keeping it “happy”. Sometimes, I even shared my secrets with it.

【答案】范文
A few weeks later, I approached my parents with a newly found confidence. I told them how I enjoyed taking care of Friday and what I have learned from taking care of Friday. “Friday has taught me a lesson in responsibility, patience, and love,” I said. “Now, I think I’m ready for a real dog.” My parents immediately agreed to go to the pet shop. On the way, we saw a shelter for abandoned dogs and I suggested we try our luck there first.
As soon as we entered the shelter, we were welcomed by a small three-legged dog. When I bent down to pat it, it kept shaking its tail and licking my face as if we were old friends. I knew instantly it was the one I wanted. On the way home, my father said to me with pride, “The worker said that the poor dog was abandoned by its owner because he had lost one leg and it had stayed there for months. I’m sure you can provide a happy home for it.”

In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.
One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours.
Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel has helped preserve endangered crafts and save dying traditions.
However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.
Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs.
7. How does slow travel cut environmental harm?
A. By visiting fewer destinations.
B. By avoiding all motor transport.
C. By booking low-carbon package tours.
D. By staying and eating at local places.
8. What can we infer about slow travel from paragraph 3?
A. It encourages tourists to record local history.
B. It allows tourists to live with residents.
C. It boosts local economy and cultural heritage.
D. It turns local handicrafts into souvenirs.
9. What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean?
A. Valuable. B. Essential.
C. Worthwhile. D. Practicable.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The rising popularity of slow travel and its driving factors.
B. The benefits and future development of slow travel.
C. Travel companies’ adaptation to the trend of slow travel.
D. The environmental and cultural impacts of slow travel.
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
11. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
12. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
13. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
14. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
