一、七选五
Malta: Travel Guided by Locals
With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. ____1____ We’d build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.
Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. ____2____ Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We’d follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.
How did it go? ____3____ Philip,wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his “favourite lunch spot”, he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the “favourite cafe” card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It’s run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.
____4____ Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop’s 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo’s past.
My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. ____5____ It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.
A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.
B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.
C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.
D. There’s no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.
E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.
F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.
G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.
二、完形填空
I majored in Mechanical Engineering in college and what I experienced during the job-hunting season in my final year changed my life completely. At that time, I only had one ____1____: to join an automaker giant in my country. I ____2____ other opportunities and poured all my energy into this company. I cleared the written test and felt ____3____ about my interview performance, but the results hit me hard — I was ____4____.
For days, I couldn’t pull myself together, and I ____5____ the interviewers, my luck, everyone else but myself. Everything ____6____ when I attended a seminar on the locus of control (控制源) — the idea that you are ____7____ for whatever happens to you, whether good or bad. This ____8____ me deeply and pushed me to look inward.
I realized I had always shifted responsibility outward — My parents’ fault, my school’s issue — never mine. When I reviewed my interview honestly, I saw the ____9____: I had knowledge gaps and communication weaknesses. So I ____10____ them. In the next interview, with better ____11____ and real self-awareness, I performed far better and ____12____a position in a company even better than the one I had originally dreamed of.
They say failure is a harsh (苛刻的) but far more ____13____ teacher than success. That season, I graduated not just as an engineer, but as a student of life, learning that when you ____14____ blaming the world and start owning your failures, you ____15____ the power to build a better version of yourself.
1. A. option B. appointment C. assignment D. dream
2. A. dismissed B. compared C. seized D. lacked
3. A. anxious B. concerned C. confident D. curious
4. A. ignored B. rejected C. evaluated D. promoted
5. A. blamed B. forgave C. analyzed D. challenged
6. A. happened B. worked C. changed D. failed
7. A. ready B. grateful C. responsible D. qualified
8. A. terrified B. moved C. confused D. struck
9. A. truth B. hope C. consequence D. excuse
10. A. looked for B. worked on C. hid from D. lived with
11. A. payment B. preparation C. reason D. relation
12. A. regained B. discovered C. occupied D. secured
13. A. powerful B. patient C. creative D. devoted
14. A. delay B. regret C. stop D. mind

Malta: Travel Guided by Locals
With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. ____1____ We’d build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.
Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. ____2____ Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We’d follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.
How did it go? ____3____ Philip,wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his “favourite lunch spot”, he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the “favourite cafe” card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It’s run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.
____4____ Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop’s 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo’s past.
My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. ____5____ It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.
A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.
B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.
C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.
D. There’s no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.
E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.
F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.
G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.
【答案】1. G 2. E 3. A 4. D 5. C
