Travel companies like Conde Nast Traveller and Booking.com have shared their 2026 travel trends predictions (预测). As noted by Booking.com, those trends show how people want to find meaningful experiences from each trip they take. Noctourism The word “noctourism” comes from the words “nocturnal” and “tourism”. When taking part in noctourism, tourists can do various exciting things. For example, some love to attend open-air concerts under the starry sky. Others choose to take a boat ride on the river to enjoy the peaceful views. The city’s lights are reflected on the water, making it a truly beautiful sight. In some African wildlife reserves, nocturnal safaris are offered. Visitors can take a jeep tour to watch animals such as leopards, hyenas, and bush babies that are active after dark. Passports to living longer Trying to live forever might be going a little too far. But our interest in living longer and healthier still stays strong. In 2026, more people will plan their trips around activities that help them live longer, according to Booking.com. For example, people will go to places that offer red light therapy to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. Studies show that connecting with others makes people healthier, so many travel locations have introduced activities like group hikes. In the future, travel won’t just be about having fun. People will also care more about staying healthy, Booking.com said. Smaller and less famous Sometimes, when you are traveling, going a different way and finding cool places can be fun. Detour (绕道) travel means going to smaller, less famous places close to the main sites and spending time there. For example, the city of Reims is a popular detour from Paris. Tom Barber, co-founder of the travel company Original Travel, told Conde Nast Traveller that in Europe, rail travel makes taking detours easy. This is because once you start looking at a train timetable, you find there are so many interesting little stops you could take. ( )1. What does the subtitle “noctourism” mean? A. Watching wild animals. B. Travelling at night. C. Enjoying peaceful views. D. Visiting strange places. ( )2. Which of the following is an example of detour travel? A. Spending more time planning each trip. B. Visiting small towns around a famous city. C. Getting off at every stop of the train to visit. D. Having a rail trip to famous places in Europe. ( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Group hikes can help people stay healthy. B. People don’t like travelling in Africa in 2025. C. Red light therapy can make people live longer. D. Rail travel makes detour travel difficult in Europe. ( )4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Helpful Travel Plans for 2026. B. New Styles in Travelling. C. Meaningful Travel Experiences. D. Good Points of Travelling. B One day, the children were walking by the fence along the top of the hill beside the railway line. On the hillside were many flowers, trees and rocks. Suddenly, they heard a noise. It was clear and slowly got louder. “Look at the tree over there!” cried Peter. The girls looked and saw a tree moving slowly down towards the railway line! “It’s magic!” said Phyllis. “I knew the railway was magic. Look, some other trees are moving, too.” They watched as the trees moved on and on, grass and stones moving with them. Then a big rock began to move as well. Soon, everything crashed down onto the railway line below. “It’s across the line!” said Phyllis, feeling a little frightened now. “Yes,” said Peter, “And the 11.29 hasn’t gone by yet. We must let them know at the station, or there will be an awful accident”. “There isn’t time,” said Bobbie. “It’s past eleven now.” They thought for a moment. “We need something red. Then we could go down on the line and wave it,” said Peter. “Everyone knows that red means danger, and the train would stop.” “Our petticoats!” said Phyllis. “They’re red. Let’s take them off.” The girls did this. “We’ll need some sticks as well,” said Peter, taking a knife from his pocket. “Yes, cut them!” said Bobbie. “If we can’t stop the train, there will be a real accident and people will be killed.” They cut the petticoats into six pieces and put them onto sticks. Now they had six red flags. They placed two flags into stone heaps on the line, then Bobbie and Phyllis each took one, and Peter took the other two. They stood ready for the train. It seemed a long time before they heard the train. “Wave your flags!” ordered Peter. “But don’t stand on the line, Bobbie.” The train came very, very fast. The two flags fell, but Bobbie ran across and picked up one of them. “The train’s not going to stop! They won’t see us. It’s no good!” Bobbie shouted. Then she ran onto the line, waving her two flags. “Get back, Bobbie!” shouted Peter. But Bobbie didn’t move from the line. She waved and waved her flags, shouting “Stop, stop!” It did stop... but only twenty metres from Bobbie. —Adapted from The Railway Children ( )1.What does the underlined “the 11.29” refer to?

In fact, it's over 21,000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men`to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. There's a famous Chinese saying—He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. 1.How long is the Great Wall of China?_ 2. When did people start to build the Great Wall?_ 3.
