Unit 4 Journey Across a Vast Land 旅游 单元阅读精练 In Amsterdam’s picturesque Nine Streets neighborhood, a curious modern custom unfolds daily: Tourists stand in long, winding queues on historic bridges, holding €5.50 cones of fries against gabled backgrounds for the perfect TikTok post. From the viral chips in Amsterdam to the hour-long waits for a slice at New York L’Industrie Pizza or the salt beef bagels at London Beigel Bake, travelers are now willing to sacrifice hours of their precious vacation time for trendy takes on everyday foods. Psychologists suggest these lines are rarely about the food itself; they reveal how social media, status, and performance have fundamentally reshaped modern travel. A queue serves as a powerful psychological trigger, most notably through the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). As Rachel Herz, a specialist in human behavior, notes, seeing a crowd makes a “thing” seem more desirable. However, the nature of these queues has changed. Unlike the accidental discoveries of the past, these pilgrimages are calculated. Discoveries now happen on personalized social media feeds before a traveler even leaves home. This has turned travel into a form of public performance. Social media provides a stage for tourists to “perform their vacation”. By beautifully filming themselves in line or rating “viral foods”, travelers collect social capital, signaling to their peers that they are onto something special and culturally relevant. This cycle is strengthened by influencers and algorithms (算法). Researchers note followers often imitate ambitious behavior to show they belong to the same community, leading to repetitive travel patterns on a microscale. But this virality carries a heavy cost for local communities. When algorithms send millions of people to the same gelato shop in Rome or chip shop in Amsterdam, the result is a flood of noise, litter, and crowding. In Amsterdam, the opposition is growing; residents are even taking legal action to limit tourist numbers, arguing that overtourism has lowered their quality of life. For them, a viral fry cone is not a photo opportunity, but a threat to their neighborhood’s survival. Despite these local tensions, the crowds rarely discourage visitors. To a modern traveler, a long line provides the confidence that they are doing the “right thing”. For many, the hour spent waiting in the queue has become just as meaningful — and just as shareable — as the meal itself. 【译文欣赏】 在阿姆斯特丹风景如画的九条街街区，一个新奇的现代习俗每天都在上演：游客们在古老的桥梁上排起蜿蜒的长队，举着售价 5.5 欧元的薯条筒，以三角墙建筑为背景，只为拍出一条完美的抖音帖子。从阿姆斯特丹爆火的薯条，到纽约 L’Industrie 披萨店需要等候一小时才能买到的一块披萨，或是伦敦 Beigel Bake 店的咸牛肉贝果，如今游客甘愿牺牲宝贵的数小时度假时间，打卡网红日常美食。 心理学家认为，排队很少是为了食物本身；这一现象揭示出社交媒体、身份地位与自我展示已经从根本上重塑了现代旅行。排队是一种强烈的心理诱因，最典型的就是错失恐惧症（FOMO）。人类行为专家蕾切尔・赫茨指出，人群聚集会让一件事物变得更有吸引力。 然而，排队的本质已经发生了改变。不同于过去偶然发现的好去处，如今这种打卡朝圣都是精心计划好的。游客甚至还未动身，就已经在个性化的社交媒体推送里找到了打卡目标。旅行由此变成了一种公开表演。社交媒体为游客提供了舞台，让他们 “展示自己的假期”。游客拍下自己排队的精美画面、给网红美食打分，以此积攒社交资本，向同龄人表明自己找到了新奇且富有文化价值的事物。网红博主与算法又进一步强化了这一循环。研究人员发现，粉丝常常效仿这类博眼球行为，以此证明自己属于同一个圈层，继而催生了小规模内不断重复的旅行打卡模式。 但这种网红效应给当地社区带来了沉重代价。当算法驱使数百万游客涌向罗马同一家冰淇淋店或是阿姆斯特丹同一家薯条店，随之而来的便是噪音、垃圾与人山人海。阿姆斯特丹当地的反对呼声日益高涨；居民甚至提起法律诉讼来限制游客数量，理由是过度旅游降低了他们的生活质量。对当地人来说，一支网红薯条不是拍照素材，而是街区生存的一大威胁。 尽管当地矛盾不断，游客却很少因此退却。对于现代游客而言，长长的队伍反而给了他们底气，证明自己做了 “正确” 的选择。对许多人来说，排队等候的一小时，和美食本身有着同等的意义，同样值得分享到网上。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1． picturesque adj. 风景如画的 2． neighborhood n. 街区；社区 3． custom n. 习俗；风俗 4． unfold v. 展现；发生 5． winding adj. 蜿蜒的；曲折的 6． sacrifice v. 牺牲；献出 7． trendy adj. 时髦的；网红的 8． fundamentally adv. 根本上地 9． trigger n. 诱因；触发器 10． desirable adj. 值得拥有的；吸引人的 11． calculated adj. 精心计划的 12． performance n. 表演；展示 13． capital n. 资本 14． imitate v. 模仿；效仿 15． virality n. 网红效应；病毒式传播 16． tension n. 紧张局势；矛盾冲突 【高考真题链接】 （2025·全国二卷·高考真题）English Market Towns to Visit in the UK English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1．Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A．In the Ludlow Castle. B．In the Foodie Center of England. C．In the Hereford Cathedral. D．In the Black and White House Museum. 2．What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A．It’s situated near a big island. B．It’s almost surrounded by water. C．It’s known for its flower festival. D．It’s easily accessible from London. 3．What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A．Try the Cornish pie. B．Watch a British TV show. C．Go fishing in the sea. D．Take pictures of the harbor. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了英国值得一游的四个市场小镇及其特色和亮点。 1．细节理解题。根据Hereford, Herefordshire部分中“The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. (赫里福德大教堂是镇上最令人印象深刻的建筑。它还拥有一座古老的图书馆，《大宪章》的四份原始副本之一便陈列于此)”可知，在赫里福德大教堂可以找到《大宪章》的原始副本。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据Shrewsbury, Shropshire部分中“The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. (塞文河在流经小镇时出现一个明显的转弯，几乎将什鲁斯伯里镇中心变成一座孤岛。这种地形造就了一个绝佳的集市，在这里，人们可以借助这条河流作为运输通道来收发货物)”可知，什鲁斯伯里镇中心几乎被水包围。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据Mevagissey, Cornwall部分中“Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Comish pie. It’s delicious. (离开港口前一定要尝尝传统的康沃尔馅饼。它很美味)”可知，作者建议游客在梅瓦吉西一定要尝尝康沃尔馅饼。故选A项。 ( 长难句 1 The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library.

Sunnier days bring countrywide festivals, including Berlin’s Carnival of Culture (22-25 May) and Hamburg’s Port Anniversary, a lively riverside maritime festival (8-10 May). It’s also peak season for Germany’s delicious white asparagus, which appears on menus for eight weeks only. Bolivia Why now: Dry season and perfect conditions for hiking Timing is vital to make the most of Bolivia’s wildly differing landscapes. The start of the dry season in May is best for hiking the Andes without rainfall, exploring Lake Titicaca by boat and sightseeing in the sunshine in La Paz, the world’s highest capital city. Indonesia Why now: Low humidity and Ubud Food Festival Indonesia’s rice terraces, sandy beaches, coral reefs and cultural sites are all best seen in May, when the weather is hot, yet the humidity is manageable. Scale dramatic volcanoes on Java, snorkel in the clear waters of Flores and cool off in Bali’s waterfalls. Stay until the end of the month for markets and cooking demonstrations at the Ubud Food Festival (28-31 May). Cape Town, South Africa Why now: Low season and the city’s marathon May brings mild weather, great-value prices and quieter attractions in Cape Town, making it perfect for combining city sightseeing with chill hiking on Table Mountain. Grab a roadside spot to cheer on the Cape Town Marathon on 24 May or head to Franschhoek in the wine lands for the town’s acclaimed literary festival with workshops and special events (15-17 May). 1．What is recommended for tourists visiting Germany in May? A．Tasting local specialties. B．Attending food festivals. C．Hiking in the Black Forest. D．Joining a marine expedition. 2．According to the text, where should tourists go if they’re fond of sea explorations? A．Germany B．Bolivia C．Indonesia D．Cape Town 3．What do Bolivia and Cape Town have in common during May? A．They enter the dry season. B．They host cultural festivals. C．They’re ideal for hiking activities. D．They offer reasonable travel prices. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍德国、玻利维亚、印度尼西亚以及南非开普敦四个适合五月出行的旅行目的地及其特色游玩项目与优势。 1．细节理解题。根据Germany部分中的“It’s also peak season for Germany’s delicious white asparagus, which appears on menus for eight weeks only.(这也是德国美味的白芦笋的旺季，它只会在菜单上出现八周。)”可知，五月去德国旅游，推荐品尝当地的特色白芦笋。 2．细节理解题。根据Indonesia部分中的“snorkel in the clear waters of Flores(在弗洛勒斯清澈的海水中浮潜)”可知，喜欢海洋探险的游客应前往印度尼西亚。 3．细节理解题。根据Bolivia部分中的“The start of the dry season in May is best for hiking the Andes(五月旱季伊始，是徒步安第斯山脉的最佳时机)”以及“exploring Lake Titicaca by boat(乘船游览的的喀喀湖)”可知，玻利维亚五月适合徒步与湖上观光；根据Cape Town, South Africa部分中的“perfect for combining city sightseeing with chill hiking on Table Mountain(非常适合将城市观光与桌山的休闲徒步相结合)”可知，开普敦五月也适合徒步活动。因此两者的共同点是都适合开展徒步活动。 Passage 2 （25-26高二下·山东济宁·期末）“The noise is becoming problematic,” said Malia Everette, who called me from a hotel in Mexico. “It’s especially bad during high season. The traffic is loud. People are out on the street having the time of their lives, and you can’t sleep because you hear booming music.” Travel is getting louder in big and small ways, but one of the most significant contributors to travel noise is the travel industry itself. Airports are expanding to accommodate more passengers. Roads are busier and hotels are constantly being remodeled. Throughout the tourism space, there will always be a cycle of transformation and reinvention that causes noise pollution. To escape unwanted travel noise, Earth.fm, a nonprofit organization, publishes a list of the quietest places in loud cities. “They’re mostly parks in urban areas, where the noise level drops dramatically because of the lack of cars. Actually, escaping noise pollution isn’t necessarily about finding silence,” says Olivia Lott, a spokeswoman for Earth.fm. “Not all noise is bad for our health. There’s increasing evidence that the sounds of nature, like ocean waves or birdsong, can relax you.” When you’re on the road, there are a few tried and true tips. Avoid flying during peak hours. When booking a hotel, request a room away from busy streets and lifts. Most importantly, don’t tolerate loud noise when you’re staying in a hotel or vacation rental. Ask for a different room. For a lasting quiet experience, however, more decisive industry-level action is essential. The travel industry can do more to shield you from harmful noise, and it should. Hotel rooms need better soundproofing and electric vehicles make almost no noise at all. As travel continues to raise its decibel (分贝) levels, maybe it’s time for travelers to take matters into their own hands, or ears. By packing a pair of quality earplugs and having a well-thought-out travel plan, you can reclaim your right to enjoy the journey without feeling like you’re stuck in a rock concert. 1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Where tourism space declines. B．Why travelling becomes popular. C．How travel is getting louder. D．What results travel noise brings. 2．What do Olivia Lott’s words imply? A．We should view noise objectively. B．We can live in harmony with nature. C．It’s reasonable to seek total silence. D．Noise pollution covers natural sounds. 3．What does the underlined word “shield” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Shelter. B．Distinguish. C．Distract. D．Restrict. 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Noise is unavoidable during the trip. B．A noisy journey can bring special fun. C．Good preparations silence travel noise. D．Concerts add unique meaning to trips. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了旅行中日益严重的噪音污染问题，分析了旅行噪音产生的主要原因，同时从个人和行业层面给出了应对旅行噪音的相关建议。 1．主旨大意题。通读第二段内容可知，该段首句内容“Travel is getting louder in big and small ways, but one of the most significant contributors to travel noise is the travel industry itself.(旅行中的噪音正从方方面面变得越来越严重，而旅行噪音最重要的诱因之一就是旅游业本身)”提出了该段的核心话题“旅游业本身是噪音最大源头”，随后列举了“Airports are expanding(机场扩建)”、“Roads are busier and hotels are constantly being remodeled.(道路越来越繁忙，酒店也在不断翻修。)”旅游业发展带来噪音的具体情况，解释了旅行为什么会变得越来越吵。因此，该段的主要讲述了“旅行是如何变得更吵闹的”。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Not all noise is bad for our health. There’s increasing evidence that the sounds of nature, like ocean waves or birdsong, can relax you.(并非所有的噪音都对我们的健康有害。越来越多的证据表明，海浪或鸟鸣等大自然的声音可以让你放松。)”可知，Olivia Lott认为不是所有噪音都有害，自然类声音（海浪、鸟鸣）能让人放松。由此推知，Olivia Lott的话暗示了噪音不能一概而论，我们应该客观区分看待不同的声音。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后文内容“Hotel rooms need better soundproofing and electric vehicles make almost no noise at all.(酒店客房需要更好的隔音设施，而电动汽车几乎完全不会产生噪音。)”可推知，这些行业措施都是为了保护游客免受有害噪音干扰，由此推知划线词“shield”意为“保护、遮蔽”，和A选项“Shelter.(遮蔽、保护。)”词义相近。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“By packing a pair of quality earplugs and having a well-thought-out travel plan, you can reclaim your right to enjoy the journey without feeling like you’re stuck in a rock concert.(备好一副高品质耳塞，再规划一份周全的出行方案，你就能重新安心享受旅途，不必全程身处如同摇滚现场般嘈杂的环境。)”可知，旅客可以主动解决噪音问题：备好优质耳塞、做好周密出行规划，就能安心享受旅途，不再被噪音折磨。因此推知，充分的准备可以消除旅行噪音。 Passage 3 （25-26高二下·广东湛江·期末）One of the most amazing experiences of our Round-The-World trip was spending a night in the Amazon rainforest. Our adventures started on a sunny morning when we got off from our boat in Santarém after a three and a half day boat trip on the Amazon. Our guide Gil, whom we contacted weeks earlier, was waiting for us in the port. We were worried, as the boat trip took a day more than expected, and we didn’t have any chance to communicate with Gil, but fortunately he was prepared for our late arrival. Gil was brought up in the thick forest, so he knows all secrets of this incredibly rich environment. With no tracks, we had to cut through the jungle to search for a place to spend the night. After a couple of hours, we found a big tree ideal to attach the hammocks (吊床) to. We cleared ground and hung up our hammocks. It was dark when we made fire for dinner. Gil stuck some branches of a tree to pieces of chicken and we cooked them in the fire. It tasted great with special cooking spice. When the fire was out, complete darkness came upon us, and this was the moment when the jungle around woke up. We started to hear louder and louder the noise of crickets, scorpions, small birds and monkeys which were jumping from tree to tree just above our heads. Many times we woke up during the night, when small branches or leaves fell into our hammocks. We could not sleep deeply, but we enjoyed listening to the music of the rainforest, which was an unbelievable experience. We got up at 4 AM to see the sunrise from a very special place. We listened again to the sound of the roaring monkeys, and we were left breathless seeing the sunrise over the jungle. On the way out of the jungle, we saw a deer crossing the road. 1．Why did the author feel worried in the first paragraph? A．They failed to find the port in time. B．Their boat arrived later than planned. C．They lost contact with Gil on the way. D．They met bad weather on the journey. 2．Which of the following best describes Gil? A．Shy and well-organized. B．Experienced and reliable. C．Knowledgeable and smart. D．Adventurous and humorous. 3．What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the music of the rainforest” in paragraph 3? A．Their sleepless night. B．The fear of the jungle. C．The noisy environment. D．The unique charm of the jungle. 4．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A news report. B．A travel guide. C．A travel journal. D．A geography textbook. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】文章主要记叙了作者环球旅行期间，在亚马逊雨林过夜的一次奇妙野外冒险经历，详细讲述了行程波折、雨林扎营、夜间见闻与清晨观赏日出的全过程。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“We were worried, as the boat trip took a day more than expected, and we didn’t have any chance to communicate with Gil, but fortunately he was prepared for our late arrival.(我们很担心，因为乘船行程比预期多花了一天，我们没有任何机会和Gil取得联系，但幸运的是，他已经为我们的迟到做好了准备)”可知，作者一行人担忧的原因是船只抵达时间晚于原定计划。 2．推理判断题。根据第一段“We were worried, as the boat trip took a day more than expected, and we didn’t have any chance to communicate with Gil, but fortunately he was prepared for our late arrival.(我们很担心，因为乘船行程比预期多花了一天，我们没有任何机会和Gil取得联系，但幸运的是，他已经为我们的迟到做好了准备)”以及第二段“Gil was brought up in the thick forest, so he knows all secrets of this incredibly rich environment.(Gil在茂密的雨林中长大，所以他知晓这片物产极其丰富环境下的所有奥秘)”可知，Gil有经验且值得信赖。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“We could not sleep deeply, but we enjoyed listening to the music of the rainforest, which was an unbelievable experience.(我们无法熟睡，但我们很享受聆听雨林的乐曲，这是一段难以置信的经历)”可知，作者将雨林各类生物的声响比作乐曲，意在凸显雨林独有的魅力与特色。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“One of the most amazing experiences of our Round-The-World trip was spending a night in the Amazon rainforest.(我们环球旅行中最令人惊叹的经历之一，就是在亚马逊雨林过夜)”可知，全文以第一人称亲身视角记录旅途经历、个人感受与游玩细节，属于旅行日记文体。 Passage 4 （25-26高二下·辽宁·期末）For many visitors, Xi’an is just a dusty stop to see the Terracotta Warriors before moving on. They think the city is not as splendid as it used to be — once the world’s largest city, now just a Tier II (二线) city in northwest China. When I first arrived here six years ago, I shared this common doubt. But my daily life in this old city quickly changed my mind. I still remember my first morning in Xi’an. I walked along the ancient city wall at dawn, watching locals cycle to work and sell fresh vegetables at street stalls. Later, when I started teaching at a local university, I was surprised by how many international students chose to study here, drawn by the city’s low cost of living and famously safe environment. These small, everyday moments made me realize Xi’an is far from stuck in the past. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has given Xi’an a new, dynamic life. The Chang’an freight trains run day and night, carrying goods between China and Europe. This has brought new jobs and businesses to the city, and I’ve seen more foreign experts coming here to work, just like me. Xi’an is slowly becoming a lively international center, just as it was centuries ago. What makes Xi’an truly special, to me, is how it balances its old soul with futuristic efficiency. Last weekend, I attended a concert of traditional music in a modern theater right next to the ancient Bell Tower. The music was thousands of years old, but the stage design used cutting-edge technology. This mix of heritage and innovation is what sets Xi’an apart from other cities. When people ask why I chose Xi’an over a busy metropolis like Shanghai, I tell them it’s because of the city’s unique balance of history, culture, and opportunity. It has given me a comfortable life and a real sense of belonging. For young people, for foreign experts, and for anyone looking for a place to grow, Xi’an offers something truly rare. It is more than a historical site — it is a blueprint for a modern, livable global city. 1．What was the author’s initial assumption of Xi’an? A．It was no longer as great as before. B．It used to be the world’s largest city. C．It was famous for Terracotta Warriors. D．It was as prosperous as ancient Chang’an. 2．Why do many international students choose to study in Xi’an? A．It enjoys low living cost and safety. B．It has convenient train routes to Europe. C．It offers job opportunities for foreigners. D．It is an ideal place to learn Chinese culture. 3．Why does the author mention a concert in paragraph 4? A．To display his passion for traditional music. B．To recall his impression of cutting-edge technology. C．To introduce wonderful cultural atmosphere of the city. D．To show the city’s mix of ancient charm and modern liveliness. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．From East to West B．Beyond the Ancient Wall C．High-tech Is a New Label of Xi’an D．BRI Boosts the Ancient City’s economy 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章讲述了作者通过亲身经历，从最初对西安的怀疑转变为欣赏其古老与现代的平衡，认为西安是一个宜居且充满机遇的国际化城市。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They think the city is not as splendid as it used to be — once the world’s largest city, now just a Tier II (二线) city in northwest China. When I first arrived here six years ago, I shared this common doubt. (他们认为这座城市已不再如从前那般辉煌——曾经是世界上最大的城市，如今仅是中国西北部的二线城市。六年前我第一次来到这里时，也曾抱有这种普遍的怀疑。)”可知，作者最初认为西安不再像以前那样宏伟。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Later, when I started teaching at a local university, I was surprised by how many international students chose to study here, drawn by the city’s low cost of living and famously safe environment. (后来，当我开始在本地大学任教时，我惊讶地发现有如此多的国际学生选择在这里学习，他们被这座城市低廉的生活成本和著名的安全环境所吸引。)”可知，许多国际学生选择在西安学习是因为它生活成本低且安全。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“What makes Xi’an truly special, to me, is how it balances its old soul with futuristic efficiency. (在我看来，西安真正特别之处在于它将古老灵魂与未来效率完美融合。)”和“The music was thousands of years old, but the stage design used cutting-edge technology. This mix of heritage and innovation is what sets Xi’an apart from other cities. (这种音乐有几千年的历史，但舞台设计使用了前沿的技术。正是这种传统与创新的结合，使西安在众多城市中独树一帜。)”可知，音乐会体现了传统与创新的结合，作者提到它是为了支撑段首的观点，展示这座城市古老魅力与现代活力的融合。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“It is more than a historical site — it is a blueprint for a modern, livable global city. (它不仅仅是一处历史遗址，更是一座现代宜居的全球城市的蓝图。)”可知，作者从最初对西安的怀疑，到通过日常生活发现其古老与现代的平衡、“一带一路”倡议带来的新活力，最终认为西安不仅是历史遗址，更是现代宜居的全球城市蓝图。因此，“超越古城墙”体现了作者对西安这座城市的认知的转变，最适合作为文章标题。 Passage 5 （25-26高二下·辽宁·期末）Last year, a company sent six women on a short journey to space. They were not astronauts conducting scientific research. 1 Their participation reflects how commercial spaceflight is redefining humanity’s relationship with the cosmos. Space tourism has evolved into a niche market (小众市场) selling brief encounters above Earth’s atmosphere. Like wellness retreats or extreme adventures, it appeals to those drawn to novelty and status. These flights may last just minutes, but they offer something more lasting: fame and personal storytelling. 2 The “push-and-pull” theory in tourism studies helps explain this desire. “Push” factors are internal desires such as curiosity or the eagerness for fame. “Pull” factors are external attractions, like seeing the Earth from above or experiencing weightlessness. 3 Another theory describes how destinations evolve: from exploration to mass adoption. Many forms of tourism begin in an exploration phase, accessible only to the wealthy. 4 Only wealthy nobles could afford this once-in-a-lifetime journey, whose legacy helped shape modern travel. 5 It is expensive, and available only to a few. Infrastructure is limited, and companies are still experimenting with what the experience should involve. Thus it remains a high-end choice rather than a widely-accepted mass activity. The line between a scientific achievement and a symbolic journey is becoming increasingly unclear. How space tourism is framed now will set the tone for its future. Options: A．Currently, space tourism is in the exploration stage. B．Take the historic Grand Tour of Europe as an example. C．They were hired by the company to perform safety tests. D．Instead, they belonged to a new category: space tourists. E．For many, even a short flight can fulfill a personal milestone. F．At this point, space tourism is widely accepted as a mass activity. G．Space tourism combines inner motivation with external experiences. 【答案】1．D 2．E 3．G 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了商业太空旅游的发展动因、阶段特征与行业现状。 1．由上文“Last year, a company sent six women on a short journey to space. They were not astronauts conducting scientific research.(去年，一家公司派遣六名女性前往太空短途航行。她们并非开展科研工作的宇航员。)”可知，上文否定她们是宇航员，空格需要说明她们的真实身份。D选项“相反，她们属于一个新类别：太空游客。”承接上文，符合语境。 2．由上文“These flights may last just minutes, but they offer something more lasting: fame and personal storytelling.(这类飞行或许只有短短几分钟，却能带来更为持久的收获：名望与可供讲述的个人经历。)”可知，本空应继续阐述短途太空飞行对于参与者的意义。E选项“对许多人而言，哪怕一次短途飞行也能达成个人的重要人生里程碑。”承接上文，符合语境。 3．由上文““Push” factors are internal  desires such as curiosity or the eagerness for fame. “Pull” factors are  external attractions, like seeing the Earth from above or experiencing  weightlessness.(“推力”因素是指内在的心理诉求，比如好奇心或是对成名的渴望；“拉力”因素是指外部吸引力，比如从高空俯瞰地球或是体验失重状态。)”可知，上文介绍推力、拉力两类要素，空格总结太空旅游融合了二者。G选项“太空旅游结合了内在动机与外在体验。”总结前文理论，符合语境。 4．由上文“Many forms of tourism begin in an exploration phase, accessible only to the wealthy.(许多旅游形式起步于探索阶段，仅富人能够参与。)”及下文“Only wealthy nobles could afford this once-in-a-lifetime journey, whose legacy helped shape modern travel.(只有富裕贵族负担得起这场毕生难得的旅行，其遗留影响助力塑造了现代旅游业。)”可知，上文描述了只有富裕贵族负担得起，下文举例某种旅行形式，本空应引出例子。B选项“以欧洲历史上的壮游为例。”能呈上启下，符合语境。 5．由下文“It is expensive, and available only to a few. Infrastructure is limited, and companies are still experimenting with what the experience should involve. Thus it remains a high-end choice rather than a widely-accepted mass activity.(它价格高昂，仅供少数人体验；基础设施有限，企业仍在摸索体验内容，依旧属于高端选择而非大众活动。)”可知，下文描述太空旅游现阶段特征，本空应概括本段主旨。A选项“目前，太空旅游正处于探索阶段。”总领本段内容，符合语境。 Passage 6 （25-26高二下·陕西汉中·期末）Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast, totally unexplored land? 1 It lets people get close to nature and understand the freedom. The journey begins with careful and thorough preparation. 2 Some prefer to follow well-marked paths that pass through famous scenic spots. Others choose to take unknown roads to find new places. No matter which route they take, packing the right supplies is essential. Water, food, a first-aid kit and durable clothing are among the top priorities. 3 The landscape changes dramatically from one single day to the next. On the way travelers encounter diverse wildlife from deer to eagles. At night, the sky is filled with countless bright stars, creating a view that city residents rarely get to see. However, travelers also face unexpected difficulties, such as sudden weather changes and long stretches of empty land with no gas stations or restaurants. Travelers soon know they have to depend on their own skills and ideas. They learn to read the clear signs of nature, such as the direction of the wind and the behavior of wild animals, to find their way and stay safe. 4 A clear stream to drink from or a warm campfire to gather around — these small joys become unforgettable. At the end of the journey, travelers return home with more than just simple photos and souvenirs. They also get a refreshing feeling and a deep love for nature.

Birds filled the air and I 5 asked locals what birds made them. “You must be quite a bird 6 ,” one said. “I’m not,” I admitted. “I can barely 7 five birds in my backyard.” To my surprise, those 8 sounds came from pigeons — creatures most people ignore. Yet they 9 me. Hiking with a local friend, I 10 plants and said, “This one is beautiful — what’s it called?” “It’s just a weed.” “What about this? It must be something special.” “No. Just more 11 .” Pigeons and weeds, however, were just the 12 . The travel opened my eyes to complexity in the ordinary things. I wondered: What do I 13 ? Can I find wonders in my own neighborhood? Travel taught me how to live at home with the eyes of a traveler, open to the beauty 14 in plain sight.

From the viral chips in Amsterdam to the hour-long waits for a slice at New York L’Industrie Pizza or the salt beef bagels at London Beigel Bake, travelers are now willing to sacrifice hours of their precious vacation time for trendy takes on everyday foods. Psychologists suggest these lines are rarely about the food itself; they reveal how social media, status, and performance have fundamentally reshaped modern travel. A queue serves as a powerful psychological trigger, most notably through the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). As Rachel Herz, a specialist in human behavior, notes, seeing a crowd makes a “thing” seem more desirable. However, the nature of these queues has changed. Unlike the accidental discoveries of the past, these pilgrimages are calculated. Discoveries now happen on personalized social media feeds before a traveler even leaves home. This has turned travel into a form of public performance. Social media provides a stage for tourists to “perform their vacation”. By beautifully filming themselves in line or rating “viral foods”, travelers collect social capital, signaling to their peers that they are onto something special and culturally relevant. This cycle is strengthened by influencers and algorithms (算法). Researchers note followers often imitate ambitious behavior to show they belong to the same community, leading to repetitive travel patterns on a microscale. But this virality carries a heavy cost for local communities. When algorithms send millions of people to the same gelato shop in Rome or chip shop in Amsterdam, the result is a flood of noise, litter, and crowding. In Amsterdam, the opposition is growing; residents are even taking legal action to limit tourist numbers, arguing that overtourism has lowered their quality of life. For them, a viral fry cone is not a photo opportunity, but a threat to their neighborhood’s survival. Despite these local tensions, the crowds rarely discourage visitors. To a modern traveler, a long line provides the confidence that they are doing the “right thing”. For many, the hour spent waiting in the queue has become just as meaningful — and just as shareable — as the meal itself. 【译文欣赏】 在阿姆斯特丹风景如画的九条街街区，一个新奇的现代习俗每天都在上演：游客们在古老的桥梁上排起蜿蜒的长队，举着售价 5.5 欧元的薯条筒，以三角墙建筑为背景，只为拍出一条完美的抖音帖子。从阿姆斯特丹爆火的薯条，到纽约 L’Industrie 披萨店需要等候一小时才能买到的一块披萨，或是伦敦 Beigel Bake 店的咸牛肉贝果，如今游客甘愿牺牲宝贵的数小时度假时间，打卡网红日常美食。 心理学家认为，排队很少是为了食物本身；这一现象揭示出社交媒体、身份地位与自我展示已经从根本上重塑了现代旅行。排队是一种强烈的心理诱因，最典型的就是错失恐惧症（FOMO）。人类行为专家蕾切尔・赫茨指出，人群聚集会让一件事物变得更有吸引力。 然而，排队的本质已经发生了改变。不同于过去偶然发现的好去处，如今这种打卡朝圣都是精心计划好的。游客甚至还未动身，就已经在个性化的社交媒体推送里找到了打卡目标。旅行由此变成了一种公开表演。社交媒体为游客提供了舞台，让他们 “展示自己的假期”。游客拍下自己排队的精美画面、给网红美食打分，以此积攒社交资本，向同龄人表明自己找到了新奇且富有文化价值的事物。网红博主与算法又进一步强化了这一循环。研究人员发现，粉丝常常效仿这类博眼球行为，以此证明自己属于同一个圈层，继而催生了小规模内不断重复的旅行打卡模式。 但这种网红效应给当地社区带来了沉重代价。当算法驱使数百万游客涌向罗马同一家冰淇淋店或是阿姆斯特丹同一家薯条店，随之而来的便是噪音、垃圾与人山人海。阿姆斯特丹当地的反对呼声日益高涨；居民甚至提起法律诉讼来限制游客数量，理由是过度旅游降低了他们的生活质量。对当地人来说，一支网红薯条不是拍照素材，而是街区生存的一大威胁。 尽管当地矛盾不断，游客却很少因此退却。对于现代游客而言，长长的队伍反而给了他们底气，证明自己做了 “正确” 的选择。对许多人来说，排队等候的一小时，和美食本身有着同等的意义，同样值得分享到网上。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1． picturesque adj. 风景如画的 2． neighborhood n. 街区；社区 3． custom n. 习俗；风俗 4． unfold v. 展现；发生 5． winding adj. 蜿蜒的；曲折的 6． sacrifice v. 牺牲；献出 7． trendy adj. 时髦的；网红的 8． fundamentally adv. 根本上地 9． trigger n. 诱因；触发器 10． desirable adj. 值得拥有的；吸引人的 11． calculated adj. 精心计划的 12． performance n. 表演；展示 13． capital n. 资本 14． imitate v. 模仿；效仿 15． virality n. 网红效应；病毒式传播 16． tension n. 紧张局势；矛盾冲突 【高考真题链接】 （2025·全国二卷·高考真题）English Market Towns to Visit in the UK English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1．Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A．In the Ludlow Castle. B．In the Foodie Center of England. C．In the Hereford Cathedral. D．In the Black and White House Museum. 2．What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A．It’s situated near a big island. B．It’s almost surrounded by water. C．It’s known for its flower festival.

Sunnier days bring countrywide festivals, including Berlin’s Carnival of Culture (22-25 May) and Hamburg’s Port Anniversary, a lively riverside maritime festival (8-10 May). It’s also peak season for Germany’s delicious white asparagus, which appears on menus for eight weeks only. Bolivia Why now: Dry season and perfect conditions for hiking Timing is vital to make the most of Bolivia’s wildly differing landscapes. The start of the dry season in May is best for hiking the Andes without rainfall, exploring Lake Titicaca by boat and sightseeing in the sunshine in La Paz, the world’s highest capital city. Indonesia Why now: Low humidity and Ubud Food Festival Indonesia’s rice terraces, sandy beaches, coral reefs and cultural sites are all best seen in May, when the weather is hot, yet the humidity is manageable. Scale dramatic volcanoes on Java, snorkel in the clear waters of Flores and cool off in Bali’s waterfalls. Stay until the end of the month for markets and cooking demonstrations at the Ubud Food Festival (28-31 May). Cape Town, South Africa Why now: Low season and the city’s marathon May brings mild weather, great-value prices and quieter attractions in Cape Town, making it perfect for combining city sightseeing with chill hiking on Table Mountain. Grab a roadside spot to cheer on the Cape Town Marathon on 24 May or head to Franschhoek in the wine lands for the town’s acclaimed literary festival with workshops and special events (15-17 May). 1．What is recommended for tourists visiting Germany in May? A．Tasting local specialties. B．Attending food festivals. C．Hiking in the Black Forest. D．Joining a marine expedition. 2．According to the text, where should tourists go if they’re fond of sea explorations? A．Germany B．Bolivia C．Indonesia D．Cape Town 3．What do Bolivia and Cape Town have in common during May? A．They enter the dry season. B．They host cultural festivals. C．They’re ideal for hiking activities. D．They offer reasonable travel prices. Passage 2 （25-26高二下·山东济宁·期末）“The noise is becoming problematic,” said Malia Everette, who called me from a hotel in Mexico. “It’s especially bad during high season. The traffic is loud. People are out on the street having the time of their lives, and you can’t sleep because you hear booming music.” Travel is getting louder in big and small ways, but one of the most significant contributors to travel noise is the travel industry itself. Airports are expanding to accommodate more passengers. Roads are busier and hotels are constantly being remodeled. Throughout the tourism space, there will always be a cycle of transformation and reinvention that causes noise pollution. To escape unwanted travel noise, Earth.fm, a nonprofit organization, publishes a list of the quietest places in loud cities. “They’re mostly parks in urban areas, where the noise level drops dramatically because of the lack of cars. Actually, escaping noise pollution isn’t necessarily about finding silence,” says Olivia Lott, a spokeswoman for Earth.fm. “Not all noise is bad for our health. There’s increasing evidence that the sounds of nature, like ocean waves or birdsong, can relax you.” When you’re on the road, there are a few tried and true tips. Avoid flying during peak hours. When booking a hotel, request a room away from busy streets and lifts. Most importantly, don’t tolerate loud noise when you’re staying in a hotel or vacation rental. Ask for a different room. For a lasting quiet experience, however, more decisive industry-level action is essential. The travel industry can do more to shield you from harmful noise, and it should. Hotel rooms need better soundproofing and electric vehicles make almost no noise at all. As travel continues to raise its decibel (分贝) levels, maybe it’s time for travelers to take matters into their own hands, or ears. By packing a pair of quality earplugs and having a well-thought-out travel plan, you can reclaim your right to enjoy the journey without feeling like you’re stuck in a rock concert. 1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Where tourism space declines. B．Why travelling becomes popular. C．How travel is getting louder. D．What results travel noise brings. 2．What do Olivia Lott’s words imply? A．We should view noise objectively. B．We can live in harmony with nature. C．It’s reasonable to seek total silence. D．Noise pollution covers natural sounds. 3．What does the underlined word “shield” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Shelter. B．Distinguish. C．Distract. D．Restrict. 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Noise is unavoidable during the trip. B．A noisy journey can bring special fun. C．Good preparations silence travel noise. D．Concerts add unique meaning to trips. Passage 3 （25-26高二下·广东湛江·期末）One of the most amazing experiences of our Round-The-World trip was spending a night in the Amazon rainforest. Our adventures started on a sunny morning when we got off from our boat in Santarém after a three and a half day boat trip on the Amazon. Our guide Gil, whom we contacted weeks earlier, was waiting for us in the port. We were worried, as the boat trip took a day more than expected, and we didn’t have any chance to communicate with Gil, but fortunately he was prepared for our late arrival. Gil was brought up in the thick forest, so he knows all secrets of this incredibly rich environment. With no tracks, we had to cut through the jungle to search for a place to spend the night. After a couple of hours, we found a big tree ideal to attach the hammocks (吊床) to. We cleared ground and hung up our hammocks. It was dark when we made fire for dinner. Gil stuck some branches of a tree to pieces of chicken and we cooked them in the fire. It tasted great with special cooking spice. When the fire was out, complete darkness came upon us, and this was the moment when the jungle around woke up. We started to hear louder and louder the noise of crickets, scorpions, small birds and monkeys which were jumping from tree to tree just above our heads. Many times we woke up during the night, when small branches or leaves fell into our hammocks. We could not sleep deeply, but we enjoyed listening to the music of the rainforest, which was an unbelievable experience. We got up at 4 AM to see the sunrise from a very special place. We listened again to the sound of the roaring monkeys, and we were left breathless seeing the sunrise over the jungle. On the way out of the jungle, we saw a deer crossing the road. 1．Why did the author feel worried in the first paragraph? A．They failed to find the port in time. B．Their boat arrived later than planned. C．They lost contact with Gil on the way. D．They met bad weather on the journey. 2．Which of the following best describes Gil? A．Shy and well-organized. B．Experienced and reliable. C．Knowledgeable and smart. D．Adventurous and humorous. 3．What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning “the music of the rainforest” in paragraph 3? A．Their sleepless night. B．The fear of the jungle. C．The noisy environment. D．The unique charm of the jungle. 4．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A news report. B．A travel guide. C．A travel journal. D．A geography textbook. Passage 4 （25-26高二下·辽宁·期末）For many visitors, Xi’an is just a dusty stop to see the Terracotta Warriors before moving on. They think the city is not as splendid as it used to be — once the world’s largest city, now just a Tier II (二线) city in northwest China. When I first arrived here six years ago, I shared this common doubt. But my daily life in this old city quickly changed my mind. I still remember my first morning in Xi’an. I walked along the ancient city wall at dawn, watching locals cycle to work and sell fresh vegetables at street stalls. Later, when I started teaching at a local university, I was surprised by how many international students chose to study here, drawn by the city’s low cost of living and famously safe environment. These small, everyday moments made me realize Xi’an is far from stuck in the past. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has given Xi’an a new, dynamic life. The Chang’an freight trains run day and night, carrying goods between China and Europe. This has brought new jobs and businesses to the city, and I’ve seen more foreign experts coming here to work, just like me. Xi’an is slowly becoming a lively international center, just as it was centuries ago. What makes Xi’an truly special, to me, is how it balances its old soul with futuristic efficiency. Last weekend, I attended a concert of traditional music in a modern theater right next to the ancient Bell Tower. The music was thousands of years old, but the stage design used cutting-edge technology. This mix of heritage and innovation is what sets Xi’an apart from other cities. When people ask why I chose Xi’an over a busy metropolis like Shanghai, I tell them it’s because of the city’s unique balance of history, culture, and opportunity. It has given me a comfortable life and a real sense of belonging. For young people, for foreign experts, and for anyone looking for a place to grow, Xi’an offers something truly rare. It is more than a historical site — it is a blueprint for a modern, livable global city. 1．What was the author’s initial assumption of Xi’an? A．It was no longer as great as before. B．It used to be the world’s largest city. C．It was famous for Terracotta Warriors. D．It was as prosperous as ancient Chang’an. 2．Why do many international students choose to study in Xi’an? A．It enjoys low living cost and safety. B．It has convenient train routes to Europe. C．It offers job opportunities for foreigners. D．It is an ideal place to learn Chinese culture. 3．Why does the author mention a concert in paragraph 4? A．To display his passion for traditional music. B．To recall his impression of cutting-edge technology. C．To introduce wonderful cultural atmosphere of the city. D．To show the city’s mix of ancient charm and modern liveliness. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．From East to West B．Beyond the Ancient Wall C．High-tech Is a New Label of Xi’an D．BRI Boosts the Ancient City’s economy Passage 5 （25-26高二下·辽宁·期末）Last year, a company sent six women on a short journey to space. They were not astronauts conducting scientific research. 1 Their participation reflects how commercial spaceflight is redefining humanity’s relationship with the cosmos. Space tourism has evolved into a niche market (小众市场) selling brief encounters above Earth’s atmosphere. Like wellness retreats or extreme adventures, it appeals to those drawn to novelty and status. These flights may last just minutes, but they offer something more lasting: fame and personal storytelling. 2 The “push-and-pull” theory in tourism studies helps explain this desire. “Push” factors are internal desires such as curiosity or the eagerness for fame. “Pull” factors are external attractions, like seeing the Earth from above or experiencing weightlessness. 3 Another theory describes how destinations evolve: from exploration to mass adoption. Many forms of tourism begin in an exploration phase, accessible only to the wealthy. 4 Only wealthy nobles could afford this once-in-a-lifetime journey, whose legacy helped shape modern travel. 5 It is expensive, and available only to a few. Infrastructure is limited, and companies are still experimenting with what the experience should involve. Thus it remains a high-end choice rather than a widely-accepted mass activity. The line between a scientific achievement and a symbolic journey is becoming increasingly unclear. How space tourism is framed now will set the tone for its future. Options: A．Currently, space tourism is in the exploration stage. B．Take the historic Grand Tour of Europe as an example. C．They were hired by the company to perform safety tests. D．Instead, they belonged to a new category: space tourists. E．For many, even a short flight can fulfill a personal milestone. F．At this point, space tourism is widely accepted as a mass activity. G．Space tourism combines inner motivation with external experiences. Passage 6 （25-26高二下·陕西汉中·期末）Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast, totally unexplored land? 1 It lets people get close to nature and understand the freedom. The journey begins with careful and thorough preparation. 2 Some prefer to follow well-marked paths that pass through famous scenic spots. Others choose to take unknown roads to find new places. No matter which route they take, packing the right supplies is essential. Water, food, a first-aid kit and durable clothing are among the top priorities. 3 The landscape changes dramatically from one single day to the next. On the way travelers encounter diverse wildlife from deer to eagles. At night, the sky is filled with countless bright stars, creating a view that city residents rarely get to see. However, travelers also face unexpected difficulties, such as sudden weather changes and long stretches of empty land with no gas stations or restaurants. Travelers soon know they have to depend on their own skills and ideas. They learn to read the clear signs of nature, such as the direction of the wind and the behavior of wild animals, to find their way and stay safe. 4 A clear stream to drink from or a warm campfire to gather around — these small joys become unforgettable. At the end of the journey, travelers return home with more than just simple photos and souvenirs. They also get a refreshing feeling and a deep love for nature. This journey across a vast land is more than just a physical adventure. 5 A．First, travelers must choose a suitable and practical route. B．They also develop a deep appreciation for the simple things. C．Lacking supplies will bring travelers more trouble and discomfort. D．This long journey usually costs travelers a large amount of money. E．Once on the road, the vast land unfolds its unique beauty and challenges. F．More importantly, it is a spiritual experience reshaping their outlook on life. G．For many travelers, this thrilling adventure offers a great break from daily routines. Passage 7 （25-26高二下·福建·期末）Many believe that travel awakens and improves the soul. Mark Twain once wrote, “One must travel, to learn.” After 37 years, I finally 1 these ideas on my first trip to South Africa. Before leaving, I expected breathtaking 2 , new foods, and memorable adventures, but away from daily 3 , supposing the journey would transform me. Travel did 4 me — but not as expected. It wasn’t lions or zebras that moved me, but pigeons and weeds. Birds filled the air and I 5 asked locals what birds made them. “You must be quite a bird 6 ,” one said. “I’m not,” I admitted. “I can barely 7 five birds in my backyard.” To my surprise, those 8 sounds came from pigeons — creatures most people ignore. Yet they 9 me. Hiking with a local friend, I 10 plants and said, “This one is beautiful — what’s it called?” “It’s just a weed.” “What about this? It must be something special.” “No. Just more 11 .” Pigeons and weeds, however, were just the 12 . The travel opened my eyes to complexity in the ordinary things. I wondered: What do I 13 ? Can I find wonders in my own neighborhood? Travel taught me how to live at home with the eyes of a traveler, open to the beauty 14 in plain sight. Plus, it gave me a reminder that true curiosity isn’t about going far — it’s about 15 deeply. 1．A．shared B．spread C．rejected D．tested 2．A．skills B．sights C．visions D．photos 3．A．plans B．tasks C．routines D．activities 4．A．change B．challenge C．trouble D．disappoint 5．A．fortunately B．accidentally C．eagerly D．secretly 6．A．expert B．hunter C．amateur D．trapper 7．A．count B．observe C．name D．feed 8．A．noisy B．sharp C．distant D．magical 9．A．attracted B．disturbed C．puzzled D．annoyed 10．A．sorted out B．pointed at C．cut back D．referred to 11．A．weeds B．birds C．animals D．insects 12．A．cause B．end C．progress D．start 13．A．understand B．ignore C．remember D．imagine 14．A．lost B．shown C．exposed D．hidden 15．A．learning B．breathing C．seeing D．caring Passage 8 （25-26高二下·江苏扬州·阶段检测）My friend and I started our journey from Vancouver, planning a five-day canoe (独木舟) trip in Bowron Lake Provincial Park. We’d been 1 the trip for a long time — reservations at the park need to be 2 months in advance. I’d taken some time off work and my friend managed to spare some time for this outdoor adventure. We were driving to Bowron Lake when our car suddenly 3 down. 4 , we were just outside a small town which had a little motel (汽车旅馆), where we met a kind stranger. He gave us the 5 of a mechanic (修理工) in town. We called him and it 6 that our car problem wasn’t a big deal to fix, but the mechanic had to order a new part, which would 7 several days to arrive. At that point, we 8 that we would have no choice but to give up the trip. The kind-hearted stranger insisted that we 9 our trip when we mentioned the change of plans. He offered to drop us off at the lake, coordinate with (与……协调) the mechanic to 10 the car during our trip, and then 11 my friend and me after we finished canoeing.   I still remember everything he did to help us, which was 12 .
