As for long-distance holidays, there are some unique destinations that actually offer you great value for your money, even if you’re on a budget.

For the last few years, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world. As a Finnish person, I’ve often been asked: what exactly makes you so satisfied with your lives? Our national self-image is that we’re quiet, introverted (内向的) types. 1 However, happiness is best achieved indirectly. Our culture and values play a key role in how we approach life and happiness.
2 Open displays of wealth and success are avoided here. For example, in Helsinki, the capital, you will rarely see fancy or expensive cars on the streets. Even financial (金融的) sharks here tend to drive ordinary cars rather than anything that would make them stand out.
Many Finns are shaped by a belief: things are neither the worst nor the best but always capable of improvement. We view hardships as part of life, not something to fear, as we think everyone has the tools to weather the storm. Whatever your situation, there is always something that can be made better. 3
In terms of creating happiness, we like to view it as a game. In ice hockey (冰球), one of Finland’s most popular sports, if you are playing center, you have to put in the work to try to score and count on your teammates. 4 In addition to recognizing personal responsibility for one’s own life, it is necessary to realize our identity, achievements, and happiness in life are often shaped by the collective influence of those around us.
It’s human nature to compare ourselves to others. 5 This is because most Finnish people understand that there are so many things we simply can’t control. So there is no point in desiring what makes others happy now, even if we are struggling. Sometimes life gives, and sometimes it takes. That’s why we prefer the saying: “Some have happiness; everyone has summer.”
A.We believe everyone must find the goal of their own life.
B.This doesn’t seem to match with being the happiest people.
C.However, we Finns tend to be more indifferent to comparisons.
D.Sometimes making comparisons can inspire us to make progress.
E.Similarly, we need both our own effort and community support in life.
F.In Finland, we prefer to keep it low-key when it comes to what we have.
G.Accepting struggles while focusing on what we can improve keeps us active.

Have you ever come back from a vacation feeling more tired than you were? Most travellers often need to rush from one tourist attraction to another. 6 Slow travel means renting an apartment for a week or more and exploring your surroundings on foot or by car. It can also mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next so that you can see the scenery along the way. But no matter how you do it, the key is slowing down. 7
Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting. 8 It allows you not only to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall naturally into the pace of another culture.
9 While airplanes are considered as a contributor to global warming, trains are much more eco-friendly — so are bikes and your own two feet! And even travelling by car becomes less damaging to the environment when you’re only driving short distances.
Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well. Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs. 10 They allow you to cook your own food. If you choose a home hotel, you’ll save more money.
Therefore, slow travel is an increasingly popular choice for people to enrich their travel experiences.
A.That is the magic of slow travel.
B.There are many benefits of slow travel.
C.Vacation rentals are often cheaper than hotels.
D.The slow traveller takes time to explore places as many as possible.
E.Slow travel is friendlier to the environment than other types of travel.
F.You’ll have enough time to know your neighbors or local shops well.
G.Now, a new movement appears as a solution to tiring travel: slow travel.

For sightseeing there are plenty of free museums and attractions, while tour bus ticket prices start from as little as £11.56.
Bangkok, Thailand
Thailand’s capital is second to none as the best value long-distance city. Although there isn’t a huge difference across all prices compared to the other cities, it is accommodation that really makes it stand out. If you’re only stopping for a long weekend, then make sure to check out the awe-inspiring Grand Palace, a complex of breathtaking temples.
Beijing, China
The Chinese capital took third spot with a total basket price of £337.49. If you only do one cultural day out during your stay, make it a trip to The Forbidden City. There are some seriously beautiful and delicate buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, not to mention they’re home to priceless artificial objects from China’s historical milestones.
Dubai, UAE
Although Dubai does have a reputation for being quite the splurge (挥霍金钱) when it comes to holidays and if you’re going to addict yourself to a spot of shopping or hit the roller-coasters, it actually provides quite good value for what you pay. The city also offers some cheaper prices across its museums, galleries and attractions as well as airport transfers.

For the last few years, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world. As a Finnish person, I’ve often been asked: what exactly makes you so satisfied with your lives? Our national self-image is that we’re quiet, introverted (内向的) types. 1 However, happiness is best achieved indirectly. Our culture and values play a key role in how we approach life and happiness.
2 Open displays of wealth and success are avoided here. For example, in Helsinki, the capital, you will rarely see fancy or expensive cars on the streets. Even financial (金融的) sharks here tend to drive ordinary cars rather than anything that would make them stand out.
Many Finns are shaped by a belief: things are neither the worst nor the best but always capable of improvement. We view hardships as part of life, not something to fear, as we think everyone has the tools to weather the storm. Whatever your situation, there is always something that can be made better. 3
In terms of creating happiness, we like to view it as a game. In ice hockey (冰球), one of Finland’s most popular sports, if you are playing center, you have to put in the work to try to score and count on your teammates. 4 In addition to recognizing personal responsibility for one’s own life, it is necessary to realize our identity, achievements, and happiness in life are often shaped by the collective influence of those around us.
It’s human nature to compare ourselves to others. 5 This is because most Finnish people understand that there are so many things we simply can’t control. So there is no point in desiring what makes others happy now, even if we are struggling. Sometimes life gives, and sometimes it takes. That’s why we prefer the saying: “Some have happiness; everyone has summer.”
A.We believe everyone must find the goal of their own life.
B.This doesn’t seem to match with being the happiest people.
C.However, we Finns tend to be more indifferent to comparisons.
D.Sometimes making comparisons can inspire us to make progress.
E.Similarly, we need both our own effort and community support in life.
F.In Finland, we prefer to keep it low-key when it comes to what we have.
G.Accepting struggles while focusing on what we can improve keeps us active.
【答案】1.B 2.F 3.G 4.E 5.C
【导语】文章主要介绍芬兰常年蝉联全球最幸福国家,并从低调内敛的国民性格、不炫耀财富的文化、直面困境的心态、个人与集体兼顾的价值观、看淡攀比的人生态度五个角度,阐释芬兰独特的文化与价值观是国民幸福感的核心来源。
【详解】1.根据前文“For the last few years, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world.(过去数年里,芬兰一直被评为全球幸福感最高的国家。)”及“Our national self-image is that we’re quiet, introverted types.(我们国民的固有形象是安静、内向的一类人。)”,再结合空后“However, happiness is best achieved indirectly.(然而,幸福往往是间接获得的。)”可知,内向沉默的国民形象和“全球最幸福国家”的标签形成反差;选项B“This doesn’t seem to match with being the happiest people.(这似乎和我们是最幸福的人群这一点不匹配)”承接前后反差,与后文形成转折关系,逻辑通顺。
2.根据空后“Open displays of wealth and success are avoided here. For example, in Helsinki, the capital, you will rarely see fancy or expensive cars on the streets.(在这里,人们避免公开炫耀财富与成就。比如在首都赫尔辛基,街上几乎看不到奢华名贵的汽车。)”可知,本段核心讲述芬兰人低调不张扬的财富观;选项F“In Finland, we prefer to keep it low-key when it comes to what we have.(在芬兰,谈及自己拥有的东西时,我们更倾向保持低调)”作为段首总起句,统领下文举例内容。
3.根据前文“We view hardships as part of life, not something to fear, as we think everyone has the tools to weather the storm. Whatever your situation, there is always something that can be made better.(我们把苦难视作生活的一部分,而非需要恐惧的事物,我们认为每个人都有渡过难关的力量。无论处境如何,总有可以改善的地方。)”可知,本段围绕芬兰人接纳困境、专注自我提升的心态展开;选项G“Accepting struggles while focusing on what we can improve keeps us active.(接纳困境,同时专注我们能够改善的事,这让我们始终积极向上)”承接上文观点,收束本段。
4.根据前文“In ice hockey, one of Finland’s most popular sports, if you are playing center, you have to put in the work to try to score and count on your teammates.(冰球是芬兰最受欢迎的运动之一,如果你打中锋位置,既要靠自身努力得分,也要依靠队友。)”再结合空后“In addition to recognizing personal responsibility for one’s own life, it is necessary to realize our identity, achievements, and happiness in life are often shaped by the collective influence of those around us.(除了认清个人对人生的责任,我们也要意识到自身的身份、成就与幸福,往往会被身边集体所影响。)”可知,此处用冰球运动类比生活,兼顾个人努力与集体支持;选项E“Similarly, we need both our own effort and community support in life.(同理,生活中我们既需要自身努力,也需要集体的支持)”完成类比过渡。
5.根据前文“It’s human nature to compare ourselves to others.(和他人攀比是人的天性。)”再结合空后“This is because most Finnish people understand that there are so many things we simply can’t control.(这是因为大多数芬兰人明白,有很多事情我们根本无法掌控。)”可知,前后存在转折逻辑,芬兰人虽懂攀比是人之常情,但自身却看淡比较;选项C“However, we Finns tend to be more indifferent to comparisons.(然而我们芬兰人往往对攀比毫不在意)”与前文形成转折,引出下文的原因说明。

Have you ever come back from a vacation feeling more tired than you were? Most travellers often need to rush from one tourist attraction to another. 6 Slow travel means renting an apartment for a week or more and exploring your surroundings on foot or by car. It can also mean taking a bike tour from one village to the next so that you can see the scenery along the way. But no matter how you do it, the key is slowing down. 7
Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting. 8 It allows you not only to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall naturally into the pace of another culture.
9 While airplanes are considered as a contributor to global warming, trains are much more eco-friendly — so are bikes and your own two feet! And even travelling by car becomes less damaging to the environment when you’re only driving short distances.
Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well. Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs. 10 They allow you to cook your own food. If you choose a home hotel, you’ll save more money.
Therefore, slow travel is an increasingly popular choice for people to enrich their travel experiences.
A.That is the magic of slow travel.
B.There are many benefits of slow travel.
C.Vacation rentals are often cheaper than hotels.
D.The slow traveller takes time to explore places as many as possible.
E.Slow travel is friendlier to the environment than other types of travel.
F.You’ll have enough time to know your neighbors or local shops well.
G.Now, a new movement appears as a solution to tiring travel: slow travel.
【答案】6.G 7.B 8.F 9.E 10.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种新型的旅行方式——慢旅行。

(慢旅行意味着租一套公寓一周或更长时间,步行或开车探索周围的环境)”介绍了慢旅行这一新型旅游方式。由此可知,空处应该引出慢旅行这一主题。所以G项Now, a new movement appears as a solution to tiring travel: slow travel.(现在,一种新的运动出现了,它可以解决疲惫的旅行:慢旅行。)符合语境,有启下作用。故选G项。
7.根据第二段第一句“Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting.(慢旅行可以让你与你正在访问的地方建立更牢固的联系)”和第四段第一句“Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well.(慢旅行通常也对你的预算更有利)”均讲述了慢旅行所带来的好处。由此推断出,此空应该总述慢旅行有很多好处。B项There are many benefits of slow travel.(慢旅行有很多好处。)符合语境,有启下作用。故选B项。
8.根据空前的“Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you’re visiting.(慢旅行可以让你与你正在访问的地方建立更牢固的联系)”可知, 慢旅行可以让你更了解旅游地。再结合空后的“It allows you not only to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall naturally into the pace of another culture.(它不仅能让你摆脱自己紧张的日常生活,还能让你自然地融入另一种文化的节奏)”可推断出,本空应介绍慢旅行可以让你更多地领略当地的风土人情。所以F项You’ll have enough time to know your neighbors or local shops well.(你会有足够的时间了解你的邻居或当地的商店。)符合语境。故选F项。
9.根据下文中的“While airplanes are considered as a contributor to global warming, trains are much more eco-friendly—so are bikes and your own two feet!(虽然飞机被认为是全球变暖的一个因素,但火车更环保——自行车和你自己的双脚也是如此!)”可知,本段应该讲述慢旅行与环保之间的关系,E项Slow travel is friendlier to the environment than other types of travel.(慢旅行比其他类型的旅行对环境更友好。)符合语境,总结了本段主题。故选E项。
10.根据上文“Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well. Staying in one place for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs. (慢旅行通常也对你的预算更有利。一次在一个地方待一周或更长时间可以降低你的交通成本 )”可知,本段讲述了慢旅行会减少在旅行中产生的开销,空处应该是讲述减少费用的方法,所以C项Vacation rentals are often cheaper than hotels.(度假村通常比酒店便宜。)符合语境。故选C项。
