No one wants badly-behaved tourists blocking views, partying wildly in the streets or pricing local people out of their own cities. So, how to be a better tourist? Here are some ways.
Some residents in Barcelona have taken action against overtourism by getting a bus route removed from Google Maps — the buses would often end up too packed with sightseers for people to get home from work. That is not to say the city is off-limits. But try to understand what is driving the protests and upset of local people. You can travel anywhere with a desire to reduce the negative impact of your trip and increase the positives.
Do research before you go — you’ll get more out of the destination and it will be appreciated. Remember you are taking a holiday in someone else’s home. Travelling with respect earns you respect. Learn a few phrases of the local language — it’s a gesture, but gestures do matter. A little bit of understanding goes a long way.
Slow tourism is about spending more time in a destination, engaging in the local culture and getting to know local people. Instead of a city-only break, try to spend time in the surrounding countryside, too. For example, if you visit Jingdezhen, you can visit the city’s traditional craftspeople, and then spend a couple of nights in the region.
Paris and Rome will always be on tourists’ bucket lists, but part of the joy of travel is researching lesser-known destinations. Robert Frost said: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Richard Hammond, the founder of Green Traveller, says: “When I went to New Zealand, instead of hiking the 10 Great Walks, I researched 10 alternative walks. There was almost no one on them and the scenery was still pretty amazing.”
【全文翻译】
没有人希望看到举止恶劣的游客遮挡风景、在街上大肆狂欢,或是抬高物价,令本地人无法在自己的城市立足。那么,如何做一名更文明的游客?以下是一些方法。
巴塞罗那部分居民采取行动应对过度旅游,他们让谷歌地图下架了一条公交线路——这些公交车常常挤满观光游客,导致上班族无法乘车回家。这并不是说这座城市禁止游客前往。但我们应当理解引发当地人抗议与不满的缘由。无论去往何处旅行,都应当尽量降低旅途带来的负面影响,放大积极意义。
出行前做好功课,你能更好领略目的地的魅力,也会受到当地人欢迎。记住:你是在别人的家园度假。心怀尊重去旅行,才能收获他人的尊重。学几句当地语言,这只是一个小小的举动,但举动意义重大。多一份理解,便能收获良多。
慢旅游,是指在一处目的地停留更长时间,融入当地文化、结识本地人。不要只在城市游玩,也可以去周边乡村走走。例如,如果你去景德镇,可以拜访当地传统手工艺人,再在这片区域小住几晚。
巴黎、罗马永远是游客心中必去之地,但旅行的乐趣之一,就是发掘那些鲜为人知的目的地。罗伯特·弗罗斯特曾说:“林中有两条路,我选择了人迹罕至的那一条,一切因此而截然不同。”绿色旅行者组织创始人理查德·哈蒙德说:“我去新西兰时,没有去徒步十大经典步道,而是找到了十条小众路线。路上几乎没有游人,景色依旧美不胜收。”

Passage 1
Does adventure have an age limit (限制)? Two close friends have given an answer to the question: NO. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both over the age of 80, encouraged by Jules Verneˈs novel Around the World in 80 Days, toured around all seven continents (大洲) in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was a place that was not easily visited even by many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. "For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild," Hamby said. "But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing."
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and seen the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. "We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met," she said. "We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world."
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too worried. "She just says, ˈWell, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... Thatˈs fine. Sheˈs living the life she wanted to live, and Iˈm happy for her,ˈ" Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can encourage people of all ages. "Donˈt sit in that chair and waste away," Hazelip said. "Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ˈthe world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one pageˈ. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number."
1.Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelipˈs journey to Antarctica?
A. Relaxing but short. B. Boring and common.
C. Ill-planned but smooth. D. Adventurous and impressive.
2.What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby?
A. Seeing amazing sights. B. Meeting wonderful people.
C. Exploring unique cultures. D. Having her best friendˈs company.
3.What was Louiseˈs attitude towards her motherˈs journey?
A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious.
4.What message does Hazelip most want to tell readers?
A. Itˈs never too old to learn.
B. A friend for life is a friend indeed.
C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old.
D. Itˈs never too late to live life to the fullest.
【答案】1.D 2. B 3. B 4.D
【解析】1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild”以及“But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing.”可知,她们的南极之旅充满惊险刺激而又令人印象深刻。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met”可知,对Hamby来说,这次旅行中最难忘的部分是遇到很棒的人。故选B项。
3.观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中“Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... Thatˈs fine. Sheˈs living the life she wanted to live, and Iˈm happy for her”可知,Louise认为母亲在过自己想要的生活,她为她感到高兴,由此推知,Louise对她母亲的旅行持支持态度。故选B项。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Donˈt sit in that chair and waste away”以及“Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ˈthe world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one pageˈ. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.”可知,Hazelip最想告诉读者的是,生活要充实,什么时候开始都不晚。故选D项。
Passage 2
Visiting a museum or going on a study tour is a quickly growing social activity, which has significantly increased footfall at major museums. This situation has prompted many museums to extend their opening hours. Whatˈs more, the visitors include not just history and archeology lovers, but also an increasing number of ordinary people.
All this suggests the cultural tourism field is showing strong recovery, which has sped up the mix of culture and tourism. However, the rapidly rising footfall presents new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitorsˈ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.
The Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu Province offers an example of how museums can adapt to deal with the onrush of visitors. Firstly, the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research, and join the local tourism area. In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that the most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media. And social media users influence peopleˈs travel habits or decisions, giving rise to popular things such as "city walks". Based on this insight, the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou.
Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area. Some museums have also found new ways of interacting with online visitors. 3D virtual modeling and digitalized exhibitions can give visitors the chance to explore museums from a distance.
Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources. Politics encourages students to visit museums, improving their historical knowledge through school-related lessons.
Last but not least, museums must also cater to elderly visitors, who make up over 20% of Chinaˈs population. The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews in 2023 to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. These include making places easy to reach, providing efficient medical services, and displaying artworks in ways that reduce physical effort for all visitors.
Only by paying attention to the real needs of the people can museums provide better cultural offerings and services.
5.What does the underlined phrase "cater to" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Satisfy. B. Afford. C. Support. D. Help.
6.Who are likely to visit museums most according to the survey conducted in 2007?
A. Art and photography fans. B. History and archeology lovers.
C. International exchange students. D. Young, well-educated social media users.
7.How can museums adapt to the increase in visitors?
A. By extending opening hours. B. By meeting different requirements.
C. By focusing on academic researches. D. By providing more educational resources.
8.What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To develop tourism in Jiangsu Province.
B. To describe the present state of museums.
C. To discuss the challenges faced by museums.
D. To explain how museums rise to the challenges.
【答案】5. A 6. D 7.B 8.D
【解析】5. 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后文“the visitorsˈ demand”可知,cater to后接的宾语是“游客的需求”,结合语境猜测,画线短语的含义为“满足”,与satisfy同义。故选A项。
6. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that the most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media.”可知,2007年的调查显示最有可能参观博物馆的是年轻、高学历且活跃于社交媒体的人群。故选D项。
7. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Firstly, the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research, and join the local tourism area.”,第四段中的“Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area.”,第五段中的“Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources.”和第六段中的“Last but not least, museums must also cater to elderly visitors, who make up over 20% of Chinaˈs population.”可知,博物馆可以通过与当地旅游资源结合扩大影响力(针对社交媒体活跃人群)、应用数字技术(针对在线游客)、整合文化以及教育资源(针对学生群体)和推出适老化服务(针对老年群体),即通过满足不同群体的需求来适应客流量的增长。故选B项。
8.写作意图题。根据第二段中的“However, the rapidly rising footfall presents new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitorsˈ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.”以及后文列举的苏州博物馆的多种应对措施可知,本文的目的是说明博物馆如何应对客流量增长带来的挑战。故选D项。

Passage 4
When you picture yourself in your 80s, what do you see? Many people imagine a life of comfort, but best friends Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby see things a little bit differently. "Don't sit in that chair and waste away," Sandy said. "If you don't use it, you lose it."
Those are words to live by for these two people! Ellie and Sandy are from the same city, but they met while traveling in Africa many years ago. Ellie, an international documentary photographer, has traveled to 107 countries and visited all 7 continents(洲) for her work. Sandy, or Dr. Sandy as she's known, is a physician.
Two years ago, the now-81-year-olds started planning an adventure they called "Around the World at 80", inspired by the Jules Verne novel, "Around the World in 80 Days". Their goal was to travel to all seven continents, see 9 Wonders of the World, and visit 18 countries in about two-and-a-half months. Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: "81 and still on the run!"
So far, they've seen the Norther Lights, stood in the shadow of the Easter Island statues, played with penguins in Antarctica, gone dog-sledding, flown over Mt. Everest in an airplane, and enjoyed many other fabulous short journeys. Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission. "The Number One thing is meeting people," said Ellie. "We love people. We just love to talk to people, and the world is full of the greatest, most exciting, most interesting people."
Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them. Ellie documents their journey with photos on Facebook, and they maintain a blog. Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years!
24. What do Sandy's words in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Don't waste your time. B. Youth and old will never agree.
C. Never too old to learn. D. Happy once, one year younger.
25. What can we know about Sandy and Ellie according to the text?
A. They didn't meet until their journey started.
B. They wrote a book to document their journey.
C. Their plan was once put off by the pandemic.
D. They have travelled around the world in 80 days.
26. What's the most important thing for them when travelling to different places?
A. Completing all tasks. B. Playing with animals.
C. Enjoying short journey. D. Meeting new people.
27. According to the passage, what kind of people are the two seniors?
A. Determined and inspiring. B. Confident and selfless.
C. Strict and professional. D. Responsible and caring.
【答案】24.A 25. C 26.D 27.A
【解析】【文章大意】文章主要介绍了Sandy Hazelip和Ellie Hamby两位老人在80岁还坚持周游世界的事迹。
24.根据第一段When you picture yourself in your 80s... "If you don't use it, you lose it."(当你想象自己80多岁的时候,你看到了什么?许多人想象着舒适的生活,但最好的朋友桑迪•哈泽利普和艾莉•汉比的看法略有不同。“别坐在那张椅子上浪费时间,”桑迪说。“如果你不使用它,你就会失去它。”)可推知,第一段中桑迪的话意思是别浪费时间了。故选A。
25.根据第三段Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: "81 and still on the run!"(不幸的是,由于COVID-19大流行,他们的计划被搁置了几年,但在2023年,他们终于带着新的座右铭上路了:“81岁,仍在路上!”)可知,桑迪和艾莉的计划一度因大流行而推迟。故选C。
26.根据第四段Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission.(无论他们走到哪里,他们都会和遇到的人聊天,结交新朋友,这都是他们使命的一部分)可知,对他们来说,去不同的地方旅行最重要的是结识新朋友。故选D。
27.根据最后一段Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them.(没有什么能让这两位老人慢下来,即使是他们的全膝关节置换术也不行)以及Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years!(桑迪和艾莉希望激励其他人继续进入他们的黄金岁月!)可推知,这两个老人是坚定且鼓舞人心的。A.Determined and inspiring.决心坚定,鼓舞人心的;B.Confident and selfless.自信和无私的;C.Strict and professional.严格且专业的;D.Responsible and caring.负责和关心他人的。故选A。

However, given that Chinese government attaches great importance to peopleˈs health, sports tourism, in many ways, can meet peopleˈs needs for both relaxing and physical activity.
Also, sports tourism will improve the consumption upgrading at last, which will in turn lead to deeper hand-in-hand relationship between the tourism and culture. 31 It can not only meet touristsˈ needs for outdoor activities, but also deepen their understanding of the heroic deeds of the people who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

G.In China, however, the growth speed is 30—40 percent despite a slow beginning at first.
【答案】28.D 29. C 30.E 31.F 32.G

Passage 6
篇章语法填空
At the National Museum of China, a special red sandstone quern(手推磨)from Pakistan is the highlight in the exhibition Where Civilizations Meet. This old quern, decorated with flower 33 (pattern) and a unique dragon-headed fish design, stands as a symbol 34 early cultural exchange along the Silk Road.
“ 35 looks like a simple fish carving shows itself upon closer look as a mixed creature combining Chinese dragon features with water elements,” says Wang, an expert at the museum. “Our study proves this 36 (art) mixing began with cultural contacts between Chinese and South Asian civilizations along ancient trade roads.”
The quern is one of over 220 objects from Shanghai Cooperation Organization member countries 37 (show) in the exhibition, which works 38 (celebrate) cultural differences and advance mutual(互相的)understanding. These objects together represent the rich history of Eurasian civilizations that 39 (grow) well across the land over the centuries.
The dragon-themed objects also include 40 8th-century stone carving from Uzbekistan, showing clear teeth and bent horns, 41 Chinaˈs famous jade pig-dragon from the New Stone Age Hongshan culture, meaning farm wealth.
Through these well-chosen objects, the exhibition clearly shows how cultural influences were kept and passed down through ages, 42 (remind) us that sometimes the deepest ties between civilizations are found in the simplest objects.
【答案】33.patterns 34.of 35. What 36.artistic 37.shown
38. to celebrate 39. have grown 40. an 41. and 42. reminding
【解析】33. 中国国家博物馆“文明的相遇”特展展出了上合组织成员国220余件文物(含巴基斯坦龙首鱼纹手推磨),以文物为载体展现欧亚文明沿古丝绸之路的交流互鉴,印证了文明间最深的联结往往蕴含在简单器物中。
考查名词复数。此处泛指“多种花卉图案”,需用复数形式,填patterns。
34.考查介词。此处是常用搭配a symbol of sth.(某物的象征),故填of,表“手推磨是古丝绸之路早期文化交流的象征”。
35.考查主语从句。空处引导的从句在句中作主语,从句中缺少主语,需用what(……的事物)引导主语从句。
36.考查词形转换。空后为名词mixing(融合),应用形容词作定语修饰名词。art对应的形容词形式为artistic(艺术的)。
37.考查非谓语动词。 show与objects为逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词shown作后置定语。
38.考查非谓语动词。“celebrate cultural differences and advance mutual understanding”(彰显文化差异、促进相互理解)为展览的目的,故用不定式to celebrate作目的状语。
39.考查时态和主谓一致。空处在定语从句中作谓语,关系词that指代Eurasian civilizations,主语为复数;结合时间状语“over the centuries”和语境可知,此处强调从过去持续至今的状态,故用现在完成时have grown。
40.考查冠词。空后“8th-century stone carving”(8世纪的石雕)为单数可数名词短语,8th (eighth)以元音音素开头,且此处泛指“一件8世纪的石雕”,需用不定冠词an。
41.考查连词。空前的“乌兹别克斯坦的8世纪石雕”与空后“中国新石器时代红山文化的玉猪龙”为并列关系,均属于前文提到的“龙主题文物”,故用连词and连接两个并列的名词短语。
42.考查非谓语动词。空前主句结构完整,且the exhibition与remind为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。
Passage 7
This summer, Europeˈs most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism(过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine and protest tourists for bad behaviour, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
Tourism officials in Copenhagen have introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travellers who engage in climate-friendly behaviours, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee and free museum tours. Green actions have become the currency for enjoying Copenhagenˈs free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” He adds, “An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around at the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainability report from a London-based market research group, 82% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behaviour. Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behaviour. “We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behaviour, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagenˈs strategy work? Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behaviour but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
43.How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism?
A. By rewarding tourists for their green actions.
B. By providing free public transport for tourists.
C. By charging a heavy fine for touristsˈ bad behaviour.
D. By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions.
44.What is CopenPay intended for?
A. Improving the cityˈs image. B. Promoting sustainable tourism.
C. Increasing income from tourism. D. Enriching touristsˈ travel experiences.
45.What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aarø-Hansen?
A. It only works for a small number of tourists.
B. It pushes the development of global tourism.
C. It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives.
D. It has inspired many cities to follow its example.
46.What is Randy Durbandˈs attitude towards CopenPay?
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful.
C. Uncaring. D. Positive.
【答案】43.A 44. B 45 C 46. D
【解析】【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了哥本哈根正在尝试不同的方法,将旅游业从负面力量转变为积极力量。
43.细节理解题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“Tourism officials in Copenhagen have introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travellers who engage in climate-friendly behaviours, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts.”可知,哥本哈根通过CopenPay项目为践行环保行为的旅行者提供各种礼物和福利,即哥本哈根通过奖励游客的绿色行为来应对过度旅游现象。故选A项。
44.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It aims to help transform tourism from ˈan environmental burdenˈ into a ˈforce for positive change.ˈ”以及第四段中的“Mikkel views CopenPay… bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behaviour.”可知,CopenPay的目的是推广一种更好的旅游方式,将旅游业从环境负担转变为积极变革的力量,弥补可持续行为意愿与实际行动之间的鸿沟,即促进可持续旅游业发展。故选B项。
45.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behaviour, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”可知,根据米克尔所说,CopenPay的成功能够使其他城市受到启发,找到推广可持续旅游的方法,即CopenPay有望推广绿色旅游倡议。故选C项。
46.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Still, Randy Durband… believes it ˈdeserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behaviour but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.ˈ”可知,兰迪表示哥本哈根的试点项目CopenPay通过奖励和福利引导游客践行环保行为,试图让环保变得更有趣,这种做法值得称赞。由此推知,兰迪对于CopenPay的态度是积极的。故选D项。disapproving意为“不赞同的”;doubtful意为“怀疑的”;uncaring意为“冷漠的”。

Dear Jack,
I'm very glad to hear that you are coming to China this summer holiday. You will be warmly welcomed. There are lots of famous places of interest in China for you to visit. For example, the Great Wall, Yueyang Tower, the West Lake and so on.
Take the Great Wall for example. ①It is known as one of the seven great wonders of the world, which is located in North China, over 6,000 kilometers in length and 25 feet high on average. ②It can date back to 2,700 years ago built with earth, brick and stone to keep out invaders in ancient China. However, it is now regarded as one of the most important tourist spots in our country or even in the world. It is really worth your visit.
I'm looking forward to your coming.
Best wishes to you!

No one wants badly-behaved tourists blocking views, partying wildly in the streets or pricing local people out of their own cities. So, how to be a better tourist? Here are some ways.
Some residents in Barcelona have taken action against overtourism by getting a bus route removed from Google Maps — the buses would often end up too packed with sightseers for people to get home from work. That is not to say the city is off-limits. But try to understand what is driving the protests and upset of local people. You can travel anywhere with a desire to reduce the negative impact of your trip and increase the positives.
Do research before you go — you’ll get more out of the destination and it will be appreciated. Remember you are taking a holiday in someone else’s home. Travelling with respect earns you respect. Learn a few phrases of the local language — it’s a gesture, but gestures do matter. A little bit of understanding goes a long way.
Slow tourism is about spending more time in a destination, engaging in the local culture and getting to know local people. Instead of a city-only break, try to spend time in the surrounding countryside, too. For example, if you visit Jingdezhen, you can visit the city’s traditional craftspeople, and then spend a couple of nights in the region.
Paris and Rome will always be on tourists’ bucket lists, but part of the joy of travel is researching lesser-known destinations. Robert Frost said: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Richard Hammond, the founder of Green Traveller, says: “When I went to New Zealand, instead of hiking the 10 Great Walks, I researched 10 alternative walks. There was almost no one on them and the scenery was still pretty amazing.”
【全文翻译】
没有人希望看到举止恶劣的游客遮挡风景、在街上大肆狂欢,或是抬高物价,令本地人无法在自己的城市立足。那么,如何做一名更文明的游客?以下是一些方法。
巴塞罗那部分居民采取行动应对过度旅游,他们让谷歌地图下架了一条公交线路——这些公交车常常挤满观光游客,导致上班族无法乘车回家。这并不是说这座城市禁止游客前往。但我们应当理解引发当地人抗议与不满的缘由。无论去往何处旅行,都应当尽量降低旅途带来的负面影响,放大积极意义。
出行前做好功课,你能更好领略目的地的魅力,也会受到当地人欢迎。记住:你是在别人的家园度假。心怀尊重去旅行,才能收获他人的尊重。学几句当地语言,这只是一个小小的举动,但举动意义重大。多一份理解,便能收获良多。
慢旅游,是指在一处目的地停留更长时间,融入当地文化、结识本地人。不要只在城市游玩,也可以去周边乡村走走。例如,如果你去景德镇,可以拜访当地传统手工艺人,再在这片区域小住几晚。
巴黎、罗马永远是游客心中必去之地,但旅行的乐趣之一,就是发掘那些鲜为人知的目的地。罗伯特·弗罗斯特曾说:“林中有两条路,我选择了人迹罕至的那一条,一切因此而截然不同。”绿色旅行者组织创始人理查德·哈蒙德说:“我去新西兰时,没有去徒步十大经典步道,而是找到了十条小众路线。路上几乎没有游人,景色依旧美不胜收。”

Passage 1
Does adventure have an age limit (限制)? Two close friends have given an answer to the question: NO. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both over the age of 80, encouraged by Jules Verneˈs novel Around the World in 80 Days, toured around all seven continents (大洲) in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was a place that was not easily visited even by many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. "For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild," Hamby said. "But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing."
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and seen the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. "We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met," she said. "We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world."
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too worried. "She just says, ˈWell, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... Thatˈs fine. Sheˈs living the life she wanted to live, and Iˈm happy for her,ˈ" Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can encourage people of all ages. "Donˈt sit in that chair and waste away," Hazelip said. "Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ˈthe world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one pageˈ. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number."
1.Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelipˈs journey to Antarctica?
A. Relaxing but short. B. Boring and common.
C. Ill-planned but smooth. D. Adventurous and impressive.
2.What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby?
A. Seeing amazing sights. B. Meeting wonderful people.
C. Exploring unique cultures. D. Having her best friendˈs company.
3.What was Louiseˈs attitude towards her motherˈs journey?
A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious.
4.What message does Hazelip most want to tell readers?
A. Itˈs never too old to learn. B. A friend for life is a friend indeed.
C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old. D. Itˈs never too late to live life to the fullest.
Passage 2
Visiting a museum or going on a study tour is a quickly growing social activity, which has significantly increased footfall at major museums. This situation has prompted many museums to extend their opening hours. Whatˈs more, the visitors include not just history and archeology lovers, but also an increasing number of ordinary people.
All this suggests the cultural tourism field is showing strong recovery, which has sped up the mix of culture and tourism. However, the rapidly rising footfall presents new challenges for the museums, as they have to cater to the visitorsˈ demand for special cultural services and take measures to support school research better.
The Suzhou Museum in Jiangsu Province offers an example of how museums can adapt to deal with the onrush of visitors. Firstly, the museums should expand their roles beyond the traditional field of education and research, and join the local tourism area. In 2007, the Suzhou Museum conducted a survey of visitors through a questionnaire, which showed that the most of the visitors were young well-educated people who were very active on social media. And social media users influence peopleˈs travel habits or decisions, giving rise to popular things such as "city walks". Based on this insight, the museum published a pocketbook providing information on both its collections and local tourist spots in Suzhou.
Second, the application of digital technology can improve changes in the cultural area. Some museums have also found new ways of interacting with online visitors. 3D virtual modeling and digitalized exhibitions can give visitors the chance to explore museums from a distance.
Third, there is a growing trend of cross-border integration of cultural and educational resources. Politics encourages students to visit museums, improving their historical knowledge through school-related lessons.
Last but not least, museums must also cater to elderly visitors, who make up over 20% of Chinaˈs population. The Suzhou Museum carried out a survey of more than 800 people aged 60 or above through questionnaires and interviews in 2023 to understand their preferences and develop age-friendly services. These include making places easy to reach, providing efficient medical services, and displaying artworks in ways that reduce physical effort for all visitors.
Only by paying attention to the real needs of the people can museums provide better cultural offerings and services.
5.What does the underlined phrase "cater to" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Satisfy. B. Afford. C. Support. D. Help.
6.Who are likely to visit museums most according to the survey conducted in 2007?
A. Art and photography fans. B. History and archeology lovers.
C. International exchange students. D. Young, well-educated social media users.
7.How can museums adapt to the increase in visitors?
A. By extending opening hours. B. By meeting different requirements.
C. By focusing on academic researches. D. By providing more educational resources.
8.What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To develop tourism in Jiangsu Province. B. To describe the present state of museums.
C. To discuss the challenges faced by museums. D. To explain how museums rise to the challenges.
Passage 3
During the school holidays, I took my son Isaac to the Northern Territory for a five-day fishing trip. We were both 9 fishing and hired (雇用) a guide named Sean. He warned us to 10 our arms and legs inside the boat because we were in crocodile (鳄鱼) country.

At a new place where the water was deeper, Sean went to the side of the boat to help Isaac cast (抛) his 12 . Suddenly, there was a loud noise. I turned around and saw Isaacˈs 13 face. "Dad! A crocodileˈs got Sean!" he 14 . A huge crocodile had 15 Seanˈs leg and pulled him overboard.
I quickly ran to Isaac, my heart beating fast. Sean was 16 underwater, trying to free himself from the crocodileˈs mouth. Luckily, he kicked the crocodile and broke 17 . Isaac bravely held his fish pole (鱼竿) to 18 the crocodile and I quickly caught Seanˈs arm and pulled him into the boat 19 . He was badly hurt, with deep 20 on his leg and hand.
We drove the 21 back, and took Sean to the hospital as soon as possible. Later Sean got well, and we stayed in touch with each other. We all couldnˈt forget that 22 day. Now, we still love 23 but not in the Northern Territory.

Passage 4
When you picture yourself in your 80s, what do you see? Many people imagine a life of comfort, but best friends Sandy Hazelip and Ellie Hamby see things a little bit differently. "Don't sit in that chair and waste away," Sandy said. "If you don't use it, you lose it."
Those are words to live by for these two people! Ellie and Sandy are from the same city, but they met while traveling in Africa many years ago. Ellie, an international documentary photographer, has traveled to 107 countries and visited all 7 continents(洲) for her work. Sandy, or Dr. Sandy as she's known, is a physician.
Two years ago, the now-81-year-olds started planning an adventure they called "Around the World at 80", inspired by the Jules Verne novel, "Around the World in 80 Days". Their goal was to travel to all seven continents, see 9 Wonders of the World, and visit 18 countries in about two-and-a-half months. Unluckily, their plans were put on hold for a few years due to COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2023 they finally hit the road with a new motto: "81 and still on the run!"
So far, they've seen the Norther Lights, stood in the shadow of the Easter Island statues, played with penguins in Antarctica, gone dog-sledding, flown over Mt. Everest in an airplane, and enjoyed many other fabulous short journeys. Everywhere they go, they chat with the people they meet and make new friends, which is all part of their mission. "The Number One thing is meeting people," said Ellie. "We love people. We just love to talk to people, and the world is full of the greatest, most exciting, most interesting people."
Nothing slows these two seniors down, not even total knee replacements for both of them. Ellie documents their journey with photos on Facebook, and they maintain a blog. Sandy and Ellie hope to inspire others to keep moving into their golden years!
10. What do Sandy's words in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Don't waste your time. B. Youth and old will never agree.
C. Never too old to learn. D. Happy once, one year younger.
25. What can we know about Sandy and Ellie according to the text?
A. They didn't meet until their journey started.
B. They wrote a book to document their journey.
C. Their plan was once put off by the pandemic.
D. They have travelled around the world in 80 days.
26. What's the most important thing for them when travelling to different places?
A. Completing all tasks. B. Playing with animals.
C. Enjoying short journey. D. Meeting new people.
27. According to the passage, what kind of people are the two seniors?
A. Determined and inspiring. B. Confident and selfless.
C. Strict and professional. D. Responsible and caring.
Passage 5
阅读七选五
Sports tourism is one of the fastest growing parts of tourism, because an increasing number of people are expressing their curiosity in sports events during their trips even if sports are not the key reason for their travel. 28
Sports tourism refers to tourism including joining in or watching sports events and staying in an environment different from the usual tourist hotels or resorts. 29 At that time, people traveled to Olympia to watch or join in Olympic races.
Modern sports tourism, on the other hand, appeared in the 1990s. 30 There is also a lack of research to study its true potential. However, given that Chinese government attaches great importance to peopleˈs health, sports tourism, in many ways, can meet peopleˈs needs for both relaxing and physical activity.
Also, sports tourism will improve the consumption upgrading at last, which will in turn lead to deeper hand-in-hand relationship between the tourism and culture. 31 It can not only meet touristsˈ needs for outdoor activities, but also deepen their understanding of the heroic deeds of the people who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
Sports tourism is a flowering industry today, with a yearly growth speed of about 15 percent globally. 32 The rapid growth of sports tourism will help meet peopleˈs relaxation needs and improve the high-quality development in China.
A.People are paying more attention to safety in travel.
B.However, sports tourism has drawn peopleˈs attention in China.
C.The origin of sports tourism can be traced back to Ancient Greece.
D.Marathons, hiking, cycling and camping fall in the area of sports tourism.
E.Since it just appeared not long ago, it hasnˈt drawn enough attention in China.
F.For example, hiking in "red tourism areas" has already become a part of sports tourism.
G.In China, however, the growth speed is 30—40 percent despite a slow beginning at first.

篇章语法填空
At the National Museum of China, a special red sandstone quern(手推磨)from Pakistan is the highlight in the exhibition Where Civilizations Meet. This old quern, decorated with flower 33 (pattern) and a unique dragon-headed fish design, stands as a symbol 34 early cultural exchange along the Silk Road.
“ 35 looks like a simple fish carving shows itself upon closer look as a mixed creature combining Chinese dragon features with water elements,” says Wang, an expert at the museum. “Our study proves this 36 (art) mixing began with cultural contacts between Chinese and South Asian civilizations along ancient trade roads.”
The quern is one of over 220 objects from Shanghai Cooperation Organization member countries 37 (show) in the exhibition, which works 38 (celebrate) cultural differences and advance mutual(互相的)understanding. These objects together represent the rich history of Eurasian civilizations that 39 (grow) well across the land over the centuries.
The dragon-themed objects also include 40 8th-century stone carving from Uzbekistan, showing clear teeth and bent horns, 41 Chinaˈs famous jade pig-dragon from the New Stone Age Hongshan culture, meaning farm wealth.
Through these well-chosen objects, the exhibition clearly shows how cultural influences were kept and passed down through ages, 42 (remind) us that sometimes the deepest ties between civilizations are found in the simplest objects.
Passage 7
This summer, Europeˈs most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism(过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine and protest tourists for bad behaviour, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
Tourism officials in Copenhagen have introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travellers who engage in climate-friendly behaviours, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee and free museum tours. Green actions have become the currency for enjoying Copenhagenˈs free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” He adds, “An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around at the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainability report from a London-based market research group, 82% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behaviour. Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behaviour. “We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behaviour, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagenˈs strategy work? Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, CEO of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behaviour but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
43.How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism?
A. By rewarding tourists for their green actions.
B. By providing free public transport for tourists.

D. By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions.
44.What is CopenPay intended for?
A. Improving the cityˈs image. B. Promoting sustainable tourism.
C. Increasing income from tourism. D. Enriching touristsˈ travel experiences.
45.What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aarø-Hansen?
A. It only works for a small number of tourists.
B. It pushes the development of global tourism.
C. It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives.
D. It has inspired many cities to follow its example.
46.What is Randy Durbandˈs attitude towards CopenPay?
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Positive.
