Eastbank's harbour ferry connects Station Pier with Old Quay and Mill Island. You can watch the working harbour from the water, visit a former fishing neighbourhood, and spend an hour among island gardens. Here is what you need to plan your day. Boats leave Station Pier every half hour from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Old Quay is the first stop, twelve minutes away; Mill Island is another eight minutes further on. Boats back from Mill Island leave every half hour from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and call at Old Quay on the way. A £5 return ticket allows you to visit either Old Quay or Mill Island. If you want to explore both, choose the £8 day ticket. It lets you get on and off at any stop throughout the day. Buy either ticket at the pier office; tickets are not sold on board. At Old Quay, a retired fishing crew repairs nets beside the market every Saturday morning. Visitors are welcome to watch and ask questions, but the crew finishes at noon. On Mill Island, the gardener leads a free walk at 2:00 p.m., explaining how plants survive strong sea winds. Places are limited, so book your walk by phone before Friday evening. The island cafe offers sandwiches and hot drinks, though it can get busy. Bringing a packed lunch gives you more time outdoors. There are covered seats near the landing place if a shower arrives. Please reach each pier ten minutes before departure. If your return ferry connects with a train, allow at least forty minutes between the ferry's arrival and the train's departure. Strong winds may slow the crossing, and the ten-minute walk to the railway station includes a busy road. 1. Which ticket should a visitor buy to explore both places? A. An £8 day ticket on the boat. B. A £5 return ticket at the pier. C. A £5 return ticket on the boat. D. An £8 day ticket at the pier. 答案：D　解析：细节理解题。第三段说明，想游览两处应购买8英镑的日票，而且两种船票都只能在码头售票处购买，因此应选“在码头购买8英镑的日票”。5英镑的往返票只允许游览其中一处；另外两个包含“在船上购买”的选项与船上不售票的规定不符。 2. What should visitors do to join the garden walk? A. Call ahead to reserve a place. B. Buy a ticket from the gardener. C. Reach the island before noon. D. Meet the fishing crew first. 答案：A　解析：细节理解题。第四段提到，园丁带领的步行参观名额有限，需要在周五晚上之前打电话预约，因此应选“提前打电话预订名额”。参观免费，无需向园丁买票；活动下午2点开始，并未要求中午前到岛；退休渔民在老码头，与花园参观没有先后联系。 3. Why should visitors allow forty minutes between the ferry's arrival and their train's departure? A. To avoid the busiest ferry service. B. To allow for delays and the walk. C. To purchase a train ticket in advance. D. To visit the market near the station. 答案：B　解析：细节理解题。最后一段解释，强风可能使渡轮减速，下船后还要步行10分钟并经过繁忙道路，因此预留40分钟是为了应对延误并完成步行换乘。文中没有建议在换乘时逛市场，也没有提到购火车票或避开最繁忙的渡轮班次。 参考译文 想找个周六远离繁忙的街道吗？伊斯特班克的港湾渡轮连接车站码头、老码头和磨坊岛。你可以从水上观看繁忙的港口，参观昔日的渔村社区，再花一个小时逛逛岛上的花园。以下信息可以帮助你安排一天的行程。 渡轮从上午9点到下午4点半，每半小时从车站码头发出一班。第一站是老码头，航程12分钟；再过8分钟便到达磨坊岛。从磨坊岛返回的渡轮从上午9点半到下午5点半，每半小时发出一班，途中停靠老码头。 5英镑的往返票允许你游览老码头或磨坊岛其中一处。如果两处都想逛，可以选择8英镑的日票。持日票可以在当天任意一站上下船。两种票都在码头售票处购买，船上不售票。 在老码头，一群退休渔民每周六上午会在市场旁修补渔网。欢迎游客观看并提问，不过他们中午就结束工作。在磨坊岛，园丁会在下午2点带领一次免费的步行参观，讲解植物如何在强劲的海风中生存。名额有限，因此请在周五晚上之前打电话预约。 岛上的咖啡馆供应三明治和热饮，但有时人会很多。自带午餐能让你有更多时间待在户外。如果遇到阵雨，上岸处附近设有带顶棚的座位。 请在开船前10分钟到达各码头。如果返程下船后还要换乘火车，请在渡轮到达与火车发车之间至少留出40分钟。强风可能让渡轮航行变慢，而步行到火车站需要10分钟，途中还要经过一条繁忙的道路。 B When my grandmother suggested visiting the railway museum in her hometown, I imagined a long afternoon reading numbers on old engines. I agreed because she rarely asked to go anywhere. Besides, I had a new camera to practise with. The museum occupied a small station that had closed before I was born. Grandma walked slowly past the ticket office, then stopped beside a plain wooden bench. While I looked for something more exciting to photograph, she brushed a leaf from its seat. 'Your great-grandfather always sat at this end,' she said. He had worked in a city factory during the week and returned on Friday evenings. As a little girl, Grandma had waited here with her mother. In winter, her mother spread a coat across the bench so Grandma would not have to sit on the cold wood. I lowered my camera. Grandma described the smell of the bakery across the road and the way everyone stood when the train finally appeared. Her father always carried a newspaper parcel. 'Usually bread,' she said. 'But I checked every time, just in case it was something else.' She laughed, and suddenly I could picture her as a child. A museum volunteer, Henry, came over to ask if we needed help. Instead, Grandma helped him. He knew when the bench had been made, but nobody had recorded how families used this part of the station. With her permission, he wrote down her memories and promised to send her a copy. Before we left, I asked Grandma to sit at her father's end of the bench. She folded her hands and looked towards the empty track. I took one photograph. At home, I put her words beside it in my album. The museum had several impressive engines, but the plain bench filled a whole page. 4. How did the writer feel about the visit at first? A. Excited to learn about old engines. B. Unsure whether the museum was open. C. Doubtful that it would be interesting. D. Worried about using the new camera. 答案：C　解析：推理判断题。第一段中，作者设想自己会花一个漫长的下午看老火车头上的编号，主要因为奶奶难得提出出门才答应，说明作者最初怀疑参观是否有趣。文中未提作者担心博物馆不开门；作者想用新相机练习，并未担忧使用相机；“兴奋地想了解老火车头”则与开头的态度相反。 5. What made the bench special to Grandma? A. It was the station's oldest object. B. It reminded her of family reunions. C. It stood outside her mother's shop. D. It had been built by her father. 答案：B　解析：推理判断题。第三、四段写到，奶奶小时候和母亲在这张长椅旁等待父亲周五归来，长椅唤起的是一家人相聚的回忆。文中没有说长椅由父亲制作，也没有说母亲开店或长椅是车站最古老的物品；这些说法都对原文信息作了无依据的扩大或改动。 6. Why did Henry write down Grandma's memories? A. They helped complete the museum's story. B. They provided ideas for repairing the station. C. They explained when the bench was built. D. They corrected information about the engines. 答案：A　解析：推理判断题。第五段说明，亨利知道长椅的制作时间，却缺少家庭当年如何使用这片区域的记录。奶奶的回忆补充了博物馆已有的历史信息。长椅的制作时间是亨利原本就知道的信息；制定维修方案和纠正火车头信息均没有文本依据。 7. What does the final paragraph suggest about the writer? A. The writer regrets missing the museum's best engines. B. The writer prefers taking pictures of empty places. C. The writer now sees value in an ordinary object. D. The writer plans to collect old railway objects. 答案：C　解析：推理判断题。作者起初寻找更有趣的拍摄对象，最后却把长椅的照片和奶奶的话放满相册一页，说明作者开始理解普通物品背后的情感与历史价值。文中没有提及收集铁路旧物的计划；一次拍摄不能说明作者偏爱空旷场所；作者也没有表现出错过拍摄火车头的遗憾。 参考译文 奶奶提议去参观她家乡的铁路博物馆时，我想到的是一个漫长的下午，只能盯着老火车头上的编号看。我答应了，因为她很少提出想去什么地方。而且，我正好有一台新相机可以练练手。 博物馆设在一座小车站里；在我出生前，这座车站就已经关闭了。奶奶慢慢走过售票处，然后在一张普通的木长椅旁停了下来。我在寻找更有意思的拍摄对象，她却伸手拂去了椅面上的一片叶子。 “你的曾祖父总坐在这一头。”她说。他以前工作日在城里的一家工厂上班，每逢周五晚上回来。奶奶还是小女孩的时候，常和她的母亲一起在这里等他。冬天，她的母亲会在长椅上铺一件大衣，这样奶奶就不用坐在冰冷的木头上了。 我放下了相机。奶奶说起马路对面面包店的香味，还有当火车终于出现时，大家纷纷站起来的情景。她的父亲总带着一个报纸包。“通常是面包，”她说，“不过我每次都要看看，没准是别的什么呢。”她笑了起来，我忽然能想象出她小时候的样子了。 博物馆的一位志愿者亨利走过来，问我们是否需要帮助。结果，倒是奶奶帮了他的忙。他知道这张长椅是什么时候制作的，却没有人记录过当年各家各户如何使用车站的这片地方。征得奶奶同意后，他记下了她的回忆，并答应寄给她一份。 离开前，我请奶奶坐在当年她父亲常坐的那一头。她双手交叠，望着空荡荡的铁轨。我拍了一张照片。回到家，我把她讲的话写在相册里，放在照片旁边。博物馆里有几台令人印象深刻的火车头，但这张普通的长椅却占满了整整一页。 C Imagine stepping out of a station in an unfamiliar city. You know your hotel is near a museum, and both names appear on your map. Yet you cannot decide which way to turn. The problem is not a lack of information. You need to connect the small shapes on the page with the streets in front of you. London's Legible London street maps address this difficulty with a simple choice. Instead of always putting north at the top, they face the same direction as the person reading them. This is called a 'heads-up' map. If a building is ahead of you, it appears towards the top of the map. Drawings of recognisable buildings provide another link between the map and the real place. The maps also help visitors think about the size of a journey. A detailed map shows the nearby area with a five-minute walking circle, while a wider map uses a fifteen-minute circle. One helps you find a particular street; the other helps you see how neighbourhoods connect. A place that seemed to require another train ride may become a possible walk. But distance is only part of the decision. These maps include details such as steps, pavement widths and pedestrian crossings. For someone using a wheelchair, a short route with steps may be unsuitable. A parent pushing a baby might also prefer a wider pavement, even if it means walking a little further. The useful question becomes 'Which route works for me?' Nor does a walking circle promise that everyone will arrive at the same time. The estimates are based on an average walking pace. Consider two travellers leaving the same sign: one carries a small bag, while the other pulls a heavy suitcase. Add a stop to check a street name or admire a shop window, and their arrival times may differ. A number on a map is a starting point for planning, not a personal deadline. So the next time you meet a street map, try using it in stages. First, match one clear landmark with your surroundings. Then decide whether your destination is a comfortable walk and check the route for your own needs. You may still ask someone for help. But the question can be more useful: 'Is there a crossing near that building?' rather than simply 'Where am I?' 8. What is the main purpose of a 'heads-up' map? A. To show walkers which streets have the least traffic. B. To help readers find north without carrying a compass. C. To help readers connect mapped places with their surroundings. D. To show visitors how local buildings looked long ago. 答案：C　解析：细节理解题。第二段指出，这种地图的朝向与读图者面朝的方向一致，便于把图中地点与眼前环境对应起来。文中并未把寻找北方、了解建筑历史或比较交通流量作为其主要目的。 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How different maps help walkers plan their journeys. B. How maps record changes in local transport services. C. Why visitors often miss streets near their destinations. D. Why neighbourhoods need different kinds of railway stations. 答案：A　解析：段落大意题。第三段对比详细地图和范围较大的地图：前者便于找街道，后者便于了解街区联系、判断是否适合步行，说明不同范围的地图能够支持步行规划中的不同需求。本段没有讨论交通服务的变化、游客错过街道的原因或车站种类。 10. What can be inferred about the traveller with a heavy suitcase? A. The shortest walking route should remain the first choice. B. The suggested walking time may need a personal adjustment. C. A wider map will give a more exact arrival time. D. A nearby destination will usually require a train ride. 答案：B　解析：推理判断题。第五段说明估计时间依据平均步速，而行李重量、途中停留等会影响实际用时。因此，拖着重行李的旅客需要根据自身情况调整估计时间。地图范围更大并不意味着到达时间更精确；文中也没有说必须乘地铁或始终选择最短路线。 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Estimating Walking Time in a New City B. Choosing Shorter Routes through Unfamiliar City Streets C. Finding Famous Landmarks on a London Map D. Making a City Easier to Read 答案：D　解析：标题归纳题。文章从游客难以将地图与实际街道对应的困境切入，介绍地图的朝向、步行圈和路线信息，再讨论使用限制与具体方法，重点是地图如何帮助人们理解城市并作出适合自己的出行选择。寻找地标和估计步行时间都只是其中一个方面；文章强调选择适合自己的路线，而非一味选择更短的路线。 参考译文 想象一下，你走出一座陌生城市的车站。你知道旅馆在一家博物馆附近，而且地图上也标出了这两个名字，可你仍然拿不准该往哪个方向走。问题并不在于信息不够，而在于你需要把纸上的小图形与眼前的街道联系起来。 伦敦的“清晰伦敦”街头地图通过一个简单的设计解决这一困难：地图并非总把北方放在上面，而是与读图者面朝的方向一致。这被称为“朝向一致”的地图。如果一栋建筑位于你的前方，它就会出现在地图靠上的位置。地图中容易辨认的建筑图像，又为地图和真实地点之间建立了一条联系。 这些地图还能帮助游客判断一段路程有多长。详细地图用五分钟步行圈展示附近区域，范围较大的地图则使用十五分钟步行圈。前者帮助你找到某一条街道，后者让你看清不同街区之间如何相连。一个原本似乎还要乘一趟地铁才能到达的地方，也许就变成了可以步行前往的目的地。 不过，距离只是作决定时要考虑的一部分。这些地图还标出台阶、人行道宽度和人行横道等细节。对于使用轮椅的人来说，一条有台阶的近路可能并不合适。推着婴儿的家长也可能更愿意选择宽一些的人行道，即使这意味着要多走一点路。此时，有用的问题便是：“哪条路线适合我？” 步行圈也并不保证每个人都会同时到达。地图上的估计时间以平均步行速度为依据。想一想从同一块路牌旁出发的两位旅客：一位背着小包，另一位拖着沉重的行李箱。如果再加上停下来核对街名或欣赏商店橱窗的时间，他们到达的时刻就可能不同。地图上的数字是规划行程的起点，而不是给个人规定的截止时间。 因此，下次遇到街头地图时，你可以试着分步使用它。首先，把一个清晰的地标与周围环境对应起来。然后，判断走到目的地是否轻松，并根据自己的需要检查路线。你仍然可以向别人求助，不过这时的问题可能更有针对性：你可以问“那栋建筑附近有人行横道吗？”，而不只是问“我在哪儿？” D On a recent city break, my friend Oliver had a careful plan: three sights before lunch, a famous cafe afterwards, and a riverside walk before dinner. We reached every place on his list. Yet the moment he still talks about happened while we were waiting for the cafe to open. A shopkeeper invited us to watch him repair an old wooden clock. We stayed twenty minutes and missed none of our bookings. That small experience raises a useful question. If we fill every hour before leaving home, where can anything unexpected fit? A travel plan can quietly turn into a set of instructions. We begin measuring a successful day by how many places we have reached. A street becomes merely the space between two attractions, rather than somewhere worth noticing for itself. There are good reasons to plan closely. Holidays cost money, and most people cannot return whenever they please. Popular museums may require advance bookings. Travellers with young children or limited energy also need to know where they can rest. Telling such visitors to simply follow their feelings is hardly useful advice. The chance to travel without a plan is not available to everyone. But an open hour does not require an open day. Keep the museum booking, check the last bus, and choose somewhere for lunch. Then leave a small space between fixed activities. This is easier if the booked visits are in the same area; travelling across town simply eats up the gap. You could return to a shop window that caught your eye or sit in a square long enough to notice who uses it. Nor should we turn that hour into another task. Nothing remarkable has to happen. Perhaps the square is noisy and the shop is closed. You may spend the time resting, which can make the next visit more enjoyable. Searching anxiously for a special experience would only replace one demanding schedule with another. The point is to keep part of the day available for a choice you cannot make from home. Before the trip, you know opening times and ticket prices. Once there, you also know your mood, the weather, and what has caught your attention. A sensible plan should make room for that new information. The blank space on the page is not wasted time; it is a decision left until you are better placed to make it. 12. Why does the writer mention the visit to the clock shop? A. To show how an unexpected stop enriched a trip. B. To explain why local shops need tourist support. C. To show how a famous attraction disappointed visitors. D. To explain why detailed travel plans usually fail. 答案：A　解析：写作意图题。首段写作者与朋友完成了原定行程，而最难忘的经历是偶然观看店主修钟。这说明意料之外的停留可以丰富旅程，并引出下文为意外发现保留时间的观点。文章没有说知名景点令人失望，也没有说周密计划通常失败；当地商店是否需要游客支持并非此段重点。 13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Travellers should choose fewer activities each day. B. Some museums should offer more flexible visiting hours. C. Families often spend too much money on holidays. D. Careful planning meets several practical travel needs. 答案：D　解析：段落大意题。第三段依次列出费用与重游机会、热门博物馆预约，以及儿童和精力有限者的休息需求，承认周密计划能够满足实际的出行需要。文中没有建议博物馆调整开放时间；“家庭度假花费过多”只抓住费用信息且加入了原文没有的判断；减少每天的活动数量也不是本段重点。 14. What would the writer probably agree with? A. Visitors need to arrange special activities for their free time. B. A quiet rest can be a good use of an open hour. C. Visitors should cancel bookings when a shop interests them. D. An open hour is worthwhile only if it brings a surprise. 答案：B　解析：推理判断题。第五段指出，留出的时间不一定要发生特别的事，用来休息也可能让下一段参观更愉快，因此安静地休息同样可以有效利用这一小时。“只有出现惊喜才值得”给自由时间添加了不必要的条件；随意取消预约与第四段建议相悖；另行安排特别活动又把自由时间变成任务。 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Choose Nearby Sights to Save Time When Travelling B. Make a Detailed Plan for a Successful Holiday C. Leave Some Travel Decisions until You Arrive D. Discover Local Crafts Beyond the Main Attractions 答案：C　解析：标题归纳题。文章先以偶然停留的经历引入，接着指出过密日程的局限，又承认计划的必要性，最后建议保留少量时间，在了解现场情况后再作决定。“抵达后再作部分旅行决定”概括了这一有条件的主张。发现当地手艺只是开头事例；制作详细计划没有体现留出空当的核心观点；选择相邻景点只是落实建议的一种方法，范围过窄。 参考译文 最近一次城市短途旅行中，我的朋友奥利弗做了周密的安排：午饭前看三处景点，午饭后去一家知名咖啡馆，晚饭前沿河散步。我们走完了他清单上的每一处地方。然而，他至今还津津乐道的那个片刻，却发生在我们等待咖啡馆开门时。一位店主邀请我们观看他修理一座旧木钟。我们待了20分钟，也没有错过任何预约。 这段小小的经历引出了一个值得思考的问题：如果出发前就把每一小时都填满，意料之外的事情还能在哪里发生呢？旅行计划可能悄悄变成一套必须遵守的指令。我们开始用到过多少地方来衡量一天是否成功。一条街道也变成了两个景点之间仅供穿行的空间，而不再是本身就值得留意的地方。 把计划安排得紧密自有其合理之处。度假要花钱，多数人无法想什么时候重游就什么时候重游。热门博物馆可能需要提前预约。带着年幼孩子或精力有限的游客，也需要知道可以在哪里休息。告诉这些游客只需跟着感觉走，很难算是有用的建议。不是每个人都能拥有不做计划就去旅行的机会。 不过，空出一小时并不意味着整天都不做安排。保留博物馆预约，查好末班公交车，选定吃午饭的地方，然后在固定活动之间留出一点空当。如果预约的参观地点在同一区域，这会更容易做到；横穿城市只会消耗掉这段空当。你可以回到刚才吸引你的橱窗前，也可以在广场上坐一会儿，久到足以注意到有哪些人来到这里。 我们也不该把这一小时变成另一项任务。并不一定要发生什么特别的事。也许广场很吵，商店也关着门。你可以用这段时间休息，这也许会让接下来的参观更愉快。如果焦急地寻找某种特别的体验，就只是用一份新的苛刻日程替换了原来的那份。 关键在于，把一天中的一部分时间留给一个在家中还无法做出的选择。出发前，你知道开放时间和票价。到了当地，你还会知道自己的心情、天气状况，以及什么事物引起了自己的注意。合理的计划应为这些新信息留出空间。纸上的空白并不是浪费掉的时间，而是一个推迟到你更有条件作出判断时再做的决定。 （二）完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Owen had waited weeks for a cycling holiday by the sea. On the first morning, he was __16__ to reach a famous viewpoint before the tour buses arrived. Then his back tyre went flat. Pushing his bicycle towards a repair shop, he felt the morning had been __17__ . The mechanic, Ben, took out the inner tube. Owen expected a quick replacement. Instead, Ben __18__ to show him how to mend it. Owen glanced at his watch but agreed. Ben pumped a little air into the tube and put it into water. Soon Owen __19__ bubbles rising from a small hole. He __20__ the spot with chalk, then __21__ the tube before spreading glue around the hole. Ben reminded him to let the glue dry. Then he __22__ a patch firmly onto the rubber. Ben then asked him to __23__ the tyre's inside. Owen found a tiny piece of glass. Leaving it there, Ben explained, could __24__ another hole. Owen began to understand why a repair needed more than __25__ . He stopped looking at his watch. That afternoon, his cousin Grace got a flat tyre on a rough path. She could name every tool in her repair kit but had no practical __26__ . Owen knelt beside her bicycle. With no bowl available, he held the tube near his cheek to __27__ the escaping air. Grace held everything steady. His first patch would not stick, so he __28__ Ben's advice and gave the glue more time before trying again. This time it __29__ . They reached the viewpoint after the buses had gone. Grace thanked him for __30__ her a long walk. Owen smiled, put away the repair kit and sat beside her to enjoy the view. 16 A. eager B. free C. ready D. careful 答案：A　解析：eager意为“渴望的，急切的”。欧文盼了几个星期，又想赶在大巴到来前到达，说明他急切地想赶路。careful意为“小心的”，free意为“空闲的”，ready意为“准备好的”，均不能像eager那样准确表现他的心情。 17 A. planned B. shared C. ruined D. recorded 答案：C　解析：ruin意为“毁掉，破坏”。车胎漏气打乱了欧文赶早看景的安排，因此他觉得整个上午都被毁了。plan意为“计划”，record意为“记录”，share意为“分享”。 18 A. managed B. promised C. refused D. offered 答案：D　解析：offer to do sth.意为“主动提出做某事”。本没有直接换胎，而是主动提出教欧文修理；后文欧文同意，说明这里是一项提议。promise意为“承诺”，manage意为“设法做到”，refuse意为“拒绝”。 19 A. followed B. noticed C. gathered D. produced 答案：B　解析：notice意为“注意到，发现”。把内胎放入水中是为了观察漏气位置，欧文随后发现有气泡从一个小孔冒出。follow意为“跟随”，gather意为“聚集”，produce意为“产生”。 20 A. checked B. marked C. covered D. filled 答案：B　解析：mark意为“做标记”。用粉笔在漏气点做记号，之后才能准确地涂胶补胎。cover意为“覆盖”，fill意为“填满”，check意为“检查”；结合工具chalk可确定是做标记。 21 A. dried B. warmed C. washed D. cooled 答案：A　解析：dry在此作动词，意为“弄干，擦干”。内胎刚从水中取出，涂胶前要先弄干。cool意为“使冷却”，wash意为“清洗”，warm意为“使变暖”。 22 A. rolled B. dropped C. turned D. pressed 答案：D　解析：press意为“压，按”。firmly和onto the rubber表明欧文把补胎片用力压在橡胶上，使其粘牢。drop意为“使落下”，roll意为“滚动”，turn意为“转动”。 23 A. measure B. inspect C. inflate D. replace 答案：B　解析：inspect意为“检查，查看”。后文欧文找到一小片玻璃，说明师傅让他检查外胎内侧。inflate意为“充气”，replace意为“更换”，measure意为“测量”。 24 A. hide B. locate C. cause D. prevent 答案：C　解析：cause意为“造成，导致”。如果玻璃碎片留在外胎内侧，就可能再次扎破内胎。hide意为“隐藏”，prevent意为“阻止”，locate意为“找到……的位置”。 25 A. speed B. advice C. practice D. equipment 答案：A　解析：speed意为“速度”。欧文原本只想尽快修好车，经过检查玻璃碎片这一步，他明白修理不能只求快，还需要认真检查。practice意为“练习”，equipment意为“设备”，advice意为“建议”；上下文中反复看表的细节指向speed。 26 A. freedom B. purpose C. experience D. interest 答案：C　解析：experience意为“经验”；practical experience意为“实际操作经验”。格蕾丝虽然认识工具，却不会熟练使用，因此需要欧文帮忙。interest意为“兴趣”，freedom意为“自由”，purpose意为“目的”。 27 A. catch B. count C. recognise D. feel 答案：D　解析：feel意为“感觉，感受”。没有水盆时，欧文把内胎靠近脸颊，是为了凭皮肤感受漏出的气流。catch意为“抓住”，count意为“数”，recognise意为“认出”。 28 A. recorded B. doubted C. ignored D. followed 答案：D　解析：follow one's advice意为“听从某人的建议”。第一块补胎片没有粘住，他便按照本之前的提醒，让胶水再晾一会儿。doubt意为“怀疑”，ignore意为“忽视”，record意为“记录”。 29 A. spread B. fell C. held D. broke 答案：C　解析：hold在此意为“保持牢固，粘牢”。前一次补胎片没有粘住，第二次成功，随后两人继续骑行。break意为“破裂”，fall意为“掉落”，spread意为“展开”。 30 A. saving B. allowing C. showing D. offering 答案：A　解析：save sb. sth.可表示“使某人免于某种麻烦或辛苦”。欧文修好了车，使格蕾丝不用推车走很远。offer意为“提供”，show意为“展示”，allow意为“允许”，都不符合感谢的具体原因。 参考译文 欧文盼着到海边骑行度假已经好几个星期了。第一天早上，他急切地想在旅游大巴到达前赶到一个著名的观景点。可他的自行车后胎突然瘪了。他推着自行车走向一家修理铺，觉得这个上午全毁了。 修车师傅本取出了内胎。欧文本以为他会很快换上一条新的，可本却主动提出教他补胎。欧文看了一眼手表，还是答应了。本给内胎充了少量气，然后把它放入水中。不久，欧文发现气泡正从一个小孔中冒出来。他用粉笔标出那个位置，然后把内胎擦干，再在小孔周围涂上胶水。本提醒他，要让胶水晾干。随后，他把一块补胎片紧紧压在橡胶上。 接着，本让他检查外胎的内侧。欧文找到了一小片玻璃。本解释说，如果把它留在那里，可能还会扎出一个洞。欧文开始明白，修理所需要的并不只是速度。他不再盯着手表看了。 那天下午，他的表亲格蕾丝在一段崎岖的小路上也遇到了车胎漏气的问题。她能说出修理包里每件工具的名称，却没有实际操作经验。欧文在她的自行车旁跪下来。身边没有水盆，他就把内胎靠近脸颊，感受漏出的气流。格蕾丝帮他扶稳东西。第一块补胎片没粘住，于是他照着本的建议，让胶水再晾干一会儿，然后又试了一次。这一次，补胎片粘牢了。 他们到达观景点时，大巴已经离开了。格蕾丝感谢他让自己免去了推车走很远的辛苦。欧文笑了笑，收好修理包，坐到她身边一起欣赏风景。 （三）应用文写作 31. 假定你是Alex，计划周六去附近的Green Valley茶乡进行一日游。请给交换生Sophie写一封电子邮件，邀请她同行，内容包括： 1. 交通安排； 2. 主要活动； 3. 出行准备。 注意：写作词数应为70词以上。 写作提示 先发出邀请，再按出行顺序介绍交通和活动，最后提醒准备物品并期待回复。可用Would you like to join me…?发出邀请，用will或be going to说明安排。活动和交通时间应前后一致。 Possible Version 1 Dear Sophie, Would you like to join me for a day trip to Green Valley this Saturday? I'm taking the 8 a.m. bus from the school gate and returning before dinner. In the morning, we will walk through the tea fields and learn how tea leaves are picked. After lunch at a local family's home, we can visit a small workshop and try making tea. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and a bottle of water. Let me know if you are interested. I'm sure we will have a great day together. Yours, Alex Possible Version 2 Dear Sophie, I'm planning a day trip to Green Valley this Saturday and would love you to come along. I'm catching the 8 a.m. bus at the school gate, which should get us there before the village becomes busy. Our morning will begin with a walk among the tea fields, followed by a short lesson on picking leaves. After a simple local lunch, we're visiting a small workshop to see how the leaves become the tea we drink. There should also be time to enjoy a cup together before heading back. Bring water, a sun hat and comfortable walking shoes. Let me know by Friday if you'd like to join me, so I can book our places. Yours, Alex 进阶层 （一）阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Greyhaven Observatory opens its hilltop viewing area to small groups on Friday evenings from September to November. Street lighting is hidden by the surrounding hills, so visitors can notice stars that disappear above the town. Places must be booked online by noon on Thursday; tickets are not sold at the gate. Choose one of the following sessions. Early Window starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts 75 minutes. It welcomes visitors aged eight and above, with an adult required for anyone under sixteen. A guide introduces several bright stars before helping the group use the main telescope. This is the only session that includes a short demonstration of photographing the Moon with a phone. Deep Sky begins at 9:15 p.m. and lasts 100 minutes. Visitors must be fourteen or older; those under sixteen still need an adult. It begins with a twenty-minute walk along an uneven path to a second viewing platform. The session focuses on faint objects and allows longer periods of quiet observation. No previous astronomy knowledge is necessary. All equipment is supplied. Bring a warm layer even if the town feels comfortable, and leave bright torches at home. Staff provide small red lights, which make it easier for everyone's eyes to remain adjusted to darkness. Visitors should arrive fifteen minutes before their session; late arrivals cannot join once the group leaves reception. Check the booking page after 6 p.m. on the day of your visit. If cloud blocks the sky but the road remains safe, indoor activities will replace outdoor viewing. You may attend these or transfer your booking once to another Friday without charge. If fog makes the hill road unsafe, both sessions will be cancelled and payments returned. Transport up the hill is not included. 1. Who can book Early Window but not Deep Sky? A. An adult without previous astronomy knowledge. B. A fifteen-year-old visiting with his mother. C. A twelve-year-old visiting with her father. D. A teenager of sixteen travelling without adults. 答案：C　解析：细节理解题。Early Window面向八岁及以上游客，十六岁以下者由成年人陪同即可；Deep Sky则要求年满十四岁。因此，与父亲同行的十二岁女孩只能预订前者。与母亲同行的十五岁男孩、没有天文学基础的成年人以及独自出行的十六岁青少年都符合两项活动的年龄及陪同要求。 2. Why does the observatory provide small red lights? A. To maintain visitors' ability to see in darkness. B. To mark the safest path to the platform. C. To improve the quality of phone photographs. D. To help visitors identify the brightest stars. 答案：A　解析：细节理解题。第四段说明，红光灯使大家的眼睛更容易保持对黑暗的适应，即保持在暗处看东西的能力。拍摄手机照片、辨认最亮的星星和标记最安全的路线，都不是文中给出的提供红光灯的原因。 3. What can visitors do if clouds prevent viewing but the road is safe? A. Attend indoor activities or change their visit date. B. Receive transport to a different outdoor viewing area. C. Join the later session at no additional cost. D. Claim a refund and keep their original booking. 答案：A　解析：细节理解题。最后一段明确区分了两种天气情况：云层遮天但道路安全时，游客可参加替代性的室内活动，或免费改期一次；山路因雾而不安全时，活动才会取消并退款。保留预订同时退款、免费转入更晚场次以及前往另一室外观测区的交通安排，均不符合原文。 参考译文 格雷黑文天文台在九月至十一月期间的每个周五晚上，向小规模团体开放山顶观测区。周围的山丘挡住了街道灯光，因此游客可以看到在小镇上空难以看见的星星。游客必须在周四中午之前在线预订；入口处不售票。请从以下活动中选择一项。 “初夜观星”活动晚上7点30分开始，持续75分钟。活动面向八岁及以上的游客，十六岁以下者须由成年人陪同。导览员先介绍几颗明亮的星星，再帮助大家使用主望远镜。这是唯一包含用手机拍摄月亮的简短演示的活动。 “深空观测”活动晚上9点15分开始，持续100分钟。参加者须年满十四岁；十六岁以下者仍须由成年人陪同。活动首先安排二十分钟的步行，沿着一条不平坦的小路前往第二个观测平台。活动主要观察较暗的天体，并留出更长的安静观测时间。参加者不需要具备天文学基础知识。 所有设备均由天文台提供。即使镇上的气温让人感觉舒适，也请带上一件保暖衣物，并将强光手电筒留在家中。工作人员会提供小型红光灯，这有助于大家的眼睛保持对黑暗的适应。游客应提前十五分钟到达；一旦队伍离开接待处，迟到者就无法加入。 请在到访当天傍晚6点后查看预订页面。如果云层遮住天空，但道路仍然安全，室内活动将替代室外观测。你可以参加室内活动，也可以免费将预订改到另一个周五一次。如果雾使山路变得不安全，两项活动都将取消，费用将退还。活动不包含上山交通。 B Julian had planned the first afternoon of their holiday himself. The town's visitor map promised an 'easy riverside loop', with a printing museum halfway round. His cousin Iris, who used a wheelchair, collected illustrated postcards. He imagined showing her the museum as though he had discovered it personally. The trouble appeared behind a stone bridge: twelve steps leading down to the riverside path. Julian checked the map twice, then folded it into a square small enough to hide in his hand. 'We can go back,' he said. Iris looked at the steps and then across the water. 'Or we can find out where that other path starts.' A shopkeeper directed them towards a crossing beyond the bridge. The detour was longer, but it brought them past a boat repair yard Iris wanted to photograph. At the museum, a narrow front doorway presented another problem. Before Julian could apologise, Iris called the number on the sign. An employee opened the wide side entrance beside the delivery gate. Over lunch, Julian admitted that he had wanted the afternoon to run perfectly. 'You planned places I'd like,' Iris said. 'That's good planning. But next time, let's check the connections together.' She spread the map between their plates. Rather than cross out the whole route, they added the step count, the crossing and the museum's side entrance. Back at their guesthouse, Julian started a review headed 'An easy route for everyone'. Iris raised an eyebrow. A slope that suited her might trouble someone else; a rough surface might matter more than distance. Julian deleted the heading and described what they had actually found, including where the pavement narrowed and which entrance required a phone call. Weeks later, another visitor thanked them online for the details. Julian showed Iris the message. She smiled, then pointed to a photograph from the repair yard. 'And you nearly took us straight back,' she said. 4. What does Julian's action of hiding the map suggest? A. He suspects they have been following another route. B. He hopes to surprise Iris with another museum. C. He feels embarrassed that his plan has failed. D. He wants Iris to choose a different attraction. 答案：C　解析：推理判断题。朱利安原本很期待展示自己规划的行程，遇到地图未标出的台阶后却把地图藏起来并提出返回；午饭时他又承认希望一切按计划完美进行。可推断，他因自己的安排遇到问题而感到尴尬。原文没有说明他想换景点、认为走错路线或另有一座博物馆作为惊喜。 5. How does Iris respond to the difficulties during their visit? A. She accepts Julian's suggestion to shorten the afternoon. B. She helps find alternatives and contacts people for access. C. She asks Julian to take full charge of the route. D. She waits for museum employees to notice their problem. 答案：B　解析：细节理解题。遇到台阶时，艾里斯提出寻找另一条路的起点；遇到博物馆狭窄的正门时，她主动打电话联系工作人员。因此，她主动参与寻找替代路线并联系他人解决进入场馆的问题。她没有接受缩短行程的建议，也没有被动等待或把路线全部交给朱利安决定。 6. Why does Julian change the heading of his review? A. Unexpected stops deserve more attention than planned attractions. B. Public criticism could discourage visitors from the museum. C. Specific route facts help people judge for themselves. D. Short descriptions attract more readers to travel reviews. 答案：C　解析：推理判断题。第五段指出，同一坡道对不同人的难度可能不同，路面情况也可能比距离更重要。朱利安因此不再笼统地说路线“适合所有人”，而是记录具体情况，方便读者结合自身需求判断。吸引更多读者、突出意外停留之处以及避免批评博物馆，都不是修改标题的原因。 7. What can be inferred from Iris's final remark? A. She considers the online response their greatest reward. B. She believes advance planning adds little to a holiday. C. She would prefer to visit the repair yard alone. D. She values what they found by adapting their plans. 答案：D　解析：推理判断题。艾里斯笑着指向修船场的照片，并提起他们当时差点直接返回，呼应了绕行带来的意外发现。这表明她珍视灵活调整安排后获得的体验。她没有表示想独自前往，也未否定提前规划；最后关注照片而非留言，不能说明她把网上回应看作最大的收获。 参考译文 朱利安亲自安排了假期第一天下午的行程。小镇游客地图推荐了一条“轻松的河畔环线”，中途有一座印刷博物馆。他使用轮椅的表亲艾里斯喜欢收集插画明信片。他想象着带她参观博物馆的情景，仿佛这地方是他亲自发现的。 问题出现在一座石桥后面：通向河边小路的是十二级台阶。朱利安把地图看了两遍，然后把它折成小小的一块，藏在手心里。“我们可以回去。”他说。艾里斯看了看台阶，又望向河对岸。“或者，我们可以去弄清楚另一条路从哪里开始。” 一位店主指引他们去桥那头的一个过河点。绕行的距离更长，但他们因此经过了一处艾里斯想拍照的修船场。到了博物馆，狭窄的正门又成了一个问题。朱利安还没来得及道歉，艾里斯便拨打了告示牌上的电话号码。一位工作人员打开了送货通道入口旁边宽敞的侧门。 吃午饭时，朱利安承认自己本想让整个下午完美地按计划进行。“你安排了我会喜欢的地方，”艾里斯说，“这就是不错的规划。不过下次，我们一起确认各处之间怎么走。”她把地图摊在两人的餐盘之间。他们没有把整条路线划掉，而是在图上补充了台阶数量、过河点和博物馆侧门的位置。 回到客栈，朱利安开始写一篇标题为“适合所有人的轻松路线”的评价。艾里斯扬了扬眉毛。一段对她合适的坡道，可能会让别人遇到困难；路面不平有时比距离长更值得关注。朱利安删去了标题，转而描述他们实际发现的情况，包括人行道在哪里变窄，以及哪个入口需要先打电话才能使用。 几周后，另一位游客在网上感谢他们提供的详细信息。朱利安把那条留言拿给艾里斯看。她笑了，随后指了指修船场的一张照片。“而你当时差一点就带我们直接回去了。”她说。 C Your suitcase disappears behind the check-in desk. Later, while you are waiting to board, a message on your phone says it has been loaded. It is tempting to imagine a tiny device inside the bag reporting every move. In many airline systems, however, that reassuring message comes from something less continuous: a record made when the bag passes a particular point. The process begins with a luggage tag. A printed barcode allows a scanner to identify the bag. Some systems use RFID, a technology in which a reader uses radio waves to collect information from a small chip in the tag. Delta has used this technology to support baggage tracking. Each reading records one point in the journey. As the bag changes hands, further readings are needed to build a useful picture of its progress. That need for several records is reflected in an international tracking requirement. The International Air Transport Association, or IATA, requires member airlines to record bags at four key stages: when passengers hand them over, when they are loaded, when they reach a transfer area, and when they are returned to passengers. Together, these records help show how far a bag has travelled through the handling process. A connecting flight makes the problem more complicated. Imagine one airline delivering a suitcase to a transfer area, where another airline takes responsibility for its next flight. A perfect record inside the first airline's system is of limited use if the next team cannot access it. IATA therefore also requires relevant tracking information to be shared with partner airlines. A successful handover involves both the physical bag and the information about it. Even then, a tracking record should be read carefully. A scan tells staff where a bag was recorded at a particular time; it is not a continuous view of everything happening to that bag. Moreover, airports differ in their equipment and ability to exchange information. A missing update can therefore leave several possibilities open. The bag might be delayed, but the information displayed to the traveller might also be incomplete. The screen alone may not settle the question. This is where people remain essential. If a suitcase fails to appear at arrival, the passenger can ask the airline's baggage staff for help and provide the tag number. A transfer record followed by no loading record, for example, suggests a stage worth checking, without proving what happened. Such clues can narrow the search, but staff still have to locate the suitcase and arrange its return. 8. How does an RFID reader collect baggage information? A. By following the passenger's phone around the airport. B. By receiving radio-wave information from a tag's chip. C. By measuring the suitcase's weight at each stage. D. By photographing the printed name on the suitcase. 答案：B　解析：细节理解题。第二段说明，RFID 读取设备通过无线电波获取行李标签内芯片的信息。拍摄姓名、追踪旅客手机以及反复称重，都不是文中介绍的 RFID 读取方式。 9. Why does the writer describe the connecting-flight situation? A. To show why tracking information must cross systems. B. To suggest why passengers should collect bags halfway. C. To compare how airlines choose their transfer airports. D. To explain why transfers require larger luggage tags. 答案：A　解析：写作意图题。第四段的转机设例说明：第一家航空公司的记录再完善，若接手的团队无法获取也作用有限，因而行李交接需要配套的信息共享。该段没有比较中转机场选择，也没有要求旅客中途取行李或增大标签。 10. What can be inferred from a missing baggage update? A. The suitcase has probably missed its planned connecting flight. B. The passenger needs more evidence before judging the situation. C. The suitcase's tag can no longer be read by scanners. D. The latest record still shows the suitcase's present location. 答案：B　解析：推理判断题。第五段指出，没有更新既可能与行李延误有关，也可能是旅客端信息不完整，单凭屏幕无法确定。因此，应获取更多证据后再判断。认定错过转机或标签已无法读取，都缺乏依据；最近一条记录也不能保证仍反映行李此刻的位置。 11. Which statement best expresses the writer's view of baggage tracking? A. It offers travellers a continuous picture of each journey. B. It supports human decisions with records of key stages. C. It works best when passengers follow each loading stage. D. It makes careful handling less important for airport staff. 答案：B　解析：观点态度题。全文解释追踪记录如何产生、为何需要共享以及信息的局限，末段强调工作人员可据此调查。可见，作者认为技术通过关键节点的记录帮助人作出判断。它并非连续呈现全部过程，也不能削弱人工搬运的重要性；文中没有要求旅客逐一监控装运环节。 参考译文 你的行李箱消失在值机柜台后方。过了一会儿，你正在等候登机，手机消息提示行李已经装上飞机。这时很容易想象，行李箱里有个小设备在报告它的每一次移动。然而，在许多航空公司的系统中，这条让人安心的消息来自一种并非连续发生的记录：行李经过某个特定地点时生成的信息。 这一过程始于行李标签。印在上面的条形码使扫描器能够识别行李。有些系统采用 RFID，即射频识别技术：读取设备利用无线电波，从标签内的小芯片中获取信息。达美航空就曾采用这种技术来支持行李追踪。每次读取记录的只是旅程中的一个节点。随着行李不断交接，还需要进一步读取，才能有效了解它的运输进展。 一项国际行李追踪要求体现了这种对多次记录的需要。国际航空运输协会，简称 IATA，要求成员航空公司在四个关键阶段记录行李：旅客交运行李时、行李装机时、行李到达中转区域时，以及行李交还旅客时。这些记录合在一起，有助于了解行李在运输处理流程中已经走到了哪一步。 转机使这个问题变得更加复杂。设想一家航空公司把行李箱送到中转区，另一家航空公司在那里接手，负责下一程运输。如果接手的团队无法获取信息，那么第一家航空公司系统里再完整的记录，用处也很有限。因此，IATA 还要求与合作航空公司共享相关追踪信息。成功的交接既涉及行李实物，也涉及有关它的信息。 即便如此，也应谨慎理解一条追踪记录。一次扫描告诉工作人员，某件行李在某个时刻被记录在什么地方；它并不等于对这件行李所有情况的连续观察。此外，不同机场的设备及信息交换能力也有差异。因此，如果动态没有更新，可能仍存在几种解释：行李也许延误了，但旅客看到的信息也可能不完整。单凭屏幕未必能确定究竟是哪种情况。 这时，人的作用依然不可缺少。如果抵达后行李箱迟迟没有出现，旅客可以向航空公司的行李服务人员求助，并提供行李标签号码。例如，有中转记录却没有后续装机记录，能够提示一个值得核查的环节，但这本身并不能证明究竟发生了什么。这类线索可以缩小查找范围，但工作人员仍然需要找到行李箱并安排将其送还。 D A visitor enters a market she has seen in an old travel book. The wooden tables have been replaced by metal counters, and several sellers accept phone payments. She photographs the remaining wooden table and writes, 'At last, something real.' It is an understandable response. Yet it raises an awkward question: real according to whom? Travel pictures often preserve a place at one attractive moment. The people living there must keep moving beyond it. A seller may prefer a counter that is easier to clean, just as a visitor may prefer a hotel with reliable hot water. When we call only the older object authentic, we risk turning someone else's daily life into a display whose design we control. That does not mean every change deserves applause. A market can replace useful everyday goods with expensive souvenirs because tour groups bring more money. Higher rents may then push out the very sellers whose presence attracted visitors. In such a case, complaints about lost character can point to real harm. Simply saying that cultures always change would ignore who is paying for that change. The more useful distinction, therefore, is not between old and new, but between changes residents can shape and changes imposed on them. Imagine two renovated market halls with similar glass roofs. In one, sellers help choose the design and keep affordable spaces. In the other, a company removes the regular stalls to create a setting for visitor photographs. Their appearance tells us little about their different relationships with local life. A traveller cannot discover those relationships at a glance. Still, modest questions can improve our judgement. Who uses the place when the tour buses leave? Can ordinary residents still buy what they need? Asking a seller about a new product may reveal more than asking whether it follows an ancient recipe. Listening also means accepting that residents may disagree about what should remain. Visitors influence places through what they praise, photograph and purchase. We need not pretend that our choices have no effect, or that local ownership alone guarantees fairness. But our approval should not depend on whether people remain inside a picture we brought with us. A worthwhile journey can challenge our idea of a place, including our idea of what makes it real. 12. What is the main purpose of the market scene in paragraph 1? A. To explain why old travel books remain popular. B. To describe the practical benefits of market improvements. C. To question a visitor's standard of authentic experience. D. To show how photographs preserve a market's history. 答案：C　解析：推理判断题。游客只把残留的木桌视为“真实”，作者紧接着追问“按照谁的标准才算真实”，由此引出全文对游客判断标准的讨论。旧旅游书是否流行、市场改造的实用价值及照片保存历史的作用，都不是该场景的主要写作目的。 13. Why does the writer discuss rising rents in paragraph 3? A. To acknowledge that some changes damage local life. B. To show why traditional goods retain economic value. C. To argue that tourists should avoid buying souvenirs. D. To suggest that sellers need stronger marketing skills. 答案：A　解析：推理判断题。第三段先承认并非每种变化都值得赞扬，再以纪念品替代日用品、租金上涨挤走原有摊主为例，说明某些以游客为中心的变化确实会损害当地生活。这一让步使论证更全面。作者没有要求游客完全不买纪念品，也不是在解释传统商品的经济价值或建议摊主提升营销技能。 14. Which situation would the writer most likely view positively? A. Visitors demand that sellers return to traditional equipment. B. A local company replaces daily goods with luxury gifts. C. Tour operators choose stalls that match old photographs. D. Sellers help redesign stalls while keeping rents affordable. 答案：D　解析：推理判断题。第四段强调，应关注居民能否参与塑造变化，以及日常生活是否得到照顾。因此，摊主参与重新设计摊位且租金维持在可负担水平，最符合作者立场。按旧照片挑选摊位或要求恢复传统设备，都是由游客的期待主导；本地公司用奢侈礼品替代日用品，也不能仅凭“本地所有”就被认为有益。 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Protect the Historical Appearance of Popular Local Markets B. Help Local Sellers Benefit from New Travel Trends C. Make Traditional Markets Easier for Visitors to Enjoy D. Let Local Voices Define a Place's Changing Character 答案：D　解析：主旨大意题。全文从游客对“真实”的判断出发，先说明当地生活有权发展，再承认某些商业变化会造成损害，继而提出核心标准：居民能否参与决定变化、变化是否服务当地生活。因此，“让当地人的声音定义一个地方不断变化的特色”最能概括全文。保留市场历史外观并非作者判断真实性的核心；帮助摊主从新旅游趋势中获利和让游客更便利，也都未概括居民参与决定变化这一中心观点。 参考译文 一位游客走进了她在一本旧旅游书中见过的市场。木桌已经被金属柜台取代，有几位摊主还接受手机付款。她拍下仅存的一张木桌，写道：“终于找到一点真实的东西了。”这种反应可以理解。然而，它提出了一个令人不太自在的问题：按照谁的标准才算真实？ 旅行照片往往把一个地方保存在某个迷人的瞬间，而生活在那里的人却必须继续向前走。一位摊主可能更喜欢容易清洁的柜台，正如一位游客可能更喜欢稳定供应热水的旅馆。如果我们只把较古老的物品称为原汁原味的，就可能把别人的日常生活变成一场由我们控制布置的展示。 这并不意味着每一种变化都值得赞扬。因为旅行团能带来更多收入，市场可能会用昂贵的纪念品取代有实用价值的日常商品。随后，上涨的租金可能会挤走那些原本吸引游客前来的摊主。在这种情况下，对市场失去原有特色的抱怨可能确实指出了实质性的损害。如果只说文化总会变化，就会忽视是谁在为这种变化付出代价。 因此，更有意义的区分不在于新旧，而在于变化是居民能够参与塑造的，还是外部强加给他们的。设想两个翻修后的市场大厅，它们都有相似的玻璃屋顶。在其中一个市场，摊主参与选择设计，并保留了负担得起的摊位。在另一个市场，一家公司撤走日常经营的摊位，打造了一个供游客拍照的场景。单凭外观，我们很难判断它们与当地生活之间截然不同的关系。 游客无法一眼就发现这些关系。不过，一些朴素的问题可以帮助我们作出更好的判断。旅游大巴离开后，谁还会使用这个地方？普通居民还能买到自己需要的东西吗？向摊主询问一种新产品，可能比询问它是否遵循古老配方更能让人有所了解。倾听也意味着接受这样一个事实：对于哪些东西应该保留，居民之间也可能有不同意见。 游客通过赞扬、拍摄和购买的东西影响旅游目的地。我们不必假装自己的选择毫无影响，也不必认为由本地人拥有就一定能保证公平。但我们对一个地方的认可，不应取决于那里的人是否继续待在我们预先带来的那幅图景之中。一次有价值的旅行，可以挑战我们对一个地方的认识，包括我们对于什么使它显得真实的认识。 （二）完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 During a visit to Portugal, Nora booked a pottery class.

Her travel __30__ now included a return to the studio. 16 A. inadequate B. polite C. familiar D. formal 答案：A　解析：inadequate意为“不足的，不够用的”。诺拉只会几句旅行用语，而课程用葡萄牙语进行，因此她担心这些语言知识不足以支持学习。familiar意为“熟悉的”，formal意为“正式的”，polite意为“礼貌的”。 17 A. waiting B. arguing C. leaving D. helping 答案：C　解析：leave意为“离开”。她怕别人发现自己听不懂，因而考虑先退出课程。wait意为“等待”，help意为“帮助”，argue意为“争论”；后文她克服困难留下来，与此处想离开形成变化。 18 A. doubted B. admitted C. ignored D. measured 答案：B　解析：admit意为“承认，坦承”。Rather than pretending to understand说明她没有装懂，而是坦诚说出自己的困难，所以老师随后放慢语速。measure意为“衡量”，ignore意为“忽视”，doubt意为“怀疑”。 19 A. judge B. guide C. copy D. change 答案：C　解析：copy意为“模仿”。诺拉通过观察老师手指的动作学习陶艺，因此试着模仿这些动作。change意为“改变”，judge意为“判断”，guide意为“引导”，都不符合她作为初学者观察学习的行为。 20 A. crack B. cover C. border D. pattern 答案：A　解析：crack意为“裂缝”。她急着把倒下的碗壁推回去，却造成了新的损伤，因而不好意思地遮住碗。border意为“边界”，pattern意为“图案”，cover意为“盖子”。后文damaged bowl也支持“裂缝”。 21 A. reminder B. measurement C. demonstration D. decoration 答案：C　解析：demonstration意为“示范，演示”。老师特意把有类似问题的碗放在旁边，随后展示托住外侧、修整内侧的做法，说明她要用这个碗作示范。decoration意为“装饰”，reminder意为“提醒物”，measurement意为“测量”。 22 A. rapid B. controlled C. familiar D. powerful 答案：B　解析：controlled在此意为“稳妥的，有控制的”。前一次用力推回碗壁造成裂缝，看到正确示范后，诺拉的动作变得更稳、更有分寸，碗壁才立住。powerful意为“有力的”，rapid意为“迅速的”，familiar意为“熟悉的”。 23 A. purpose B. limit C. origin D. history 答案：A　解析：purpose意为“用途，目的”。诺拉说不出这个技巧的葡萄牙语名称，却从操作结果明白了它能支撑碗壁、防止倒塌。origin意为“起源”，limit意为“限度”，history意为“历史”。 24 A. customer B. traveller C. beginner D. expert 答案：D　解析：expert意为“专家，行家”；be no expert意为“算不上专家”。诺拉刚学会这一技巧，所以在帮助别人前有所犹豫。beginner意为“初学者”，customer意为“顾客”，traveller意为“旅行者”；这些恰好都是她已有的身份，不能解释no后面的自我怀疑。 25 A. corrected B. invented C. questioned D. repeated 答案：D　解析：repeat意为“重复，重做”。诺拉把老师教过的动作又做了一遍；后文费利克斯观察她的双手并模仿，说明她通过动作交流。question意为“质疑”，invent意为“发明”，correct意为“纠正”；这里既不是质疑、创造动作，也不是纠正老师的动作。 26 A. passed B. denied C. returned D. sold 答案：A　解析：pass在此意为“递给”。费利克斯发现她的碗粘在桌上，便递给她工具，让她把碗托起来。sell意为“卖”，deny意为“拒绝给予”，return意为“归还”；这一动作体现两人互相帮助，文中也没有买卖或借用后归还的情节。 27 A. finish B. keep C. share D. hide 答案：D　解析：hide意为“隐藏，遮住”。前文诺拉因碗出了问题而用手遮住它；现在作品虽仍不平整，她却愿意拍照留念，说明不再想把它藏起来。finish意为“完成”，keep意为“保留”，share意为“分享”。 28 A. give in B. take part C. stand out D. keep up 答案：B　解析：take part in意为“参加，参与”。她虽然没听懂大部分谈话，但通过观察、操作和互相帮助参与了共同创作。keep up意为“跟上”，stand out意为“突出”，give in意为“让步”，均不如“参与”符合全段对她学习经历的总结。 29 A. covered B. finished C. understood D. copied 答案：C　解析：understand意为“理解，看懂”。诺拉指着日历又画了一个碗，老师马上明白她在询问下一次课程，于是圈出星期四。finish意为“完成”，cover意为“盖住”，copy意为“复制”。 30 A. costs B. stories C. memories D. plans 答案：D　解析：plan意为“计划”。老师圈出未来的上课日期，诺拉把纸收好，表明她打算再次参加，所以重返工作室成为旅行计划的一部分。cost意为“费用”，memory意为“回忆”，story意为“故事”。 参考译文 在葡萄牙旅行期间，诺拉报名参加了一节陶艺课。然而，到了工作室，她才发现课程将用葡萄牙语进行。她会的那几句旅行用语突然显得不够用了。她考虑趁别人还没发现她的困惑就离开。 老师克拉拉欢迎了她。诺拉没有假装听懂，而是坦承自己遇到了语言困难。克拉拉放慢语速，然后开始摆弄陶泥。诺拉观察她的手指，试着模仿她的动作。起初还很顺利，直到诺拉碗的侧壁开始向外倒。 她把碗壁推回去，却弄出了一道新裂缝，于是用双手遮住碗。克拉拉轻轻移开她的手，把自己尚未完成的碗放到旁边。那个碗的一侧也在向外倒。诺拉明白了，克拉拉在用这个有问题的碗作示范。 克拉拉用一只手托住外侧，同时用另一只手修整内侧。诺拉又试了一次，动作更加稳妥。这一次，碗壁立住了。她虽然不会用葡萄牙语说出这个技巧的名称，却明白了它的用途。 桌子对面，费利克斯也在为同一个问题苦恼。诺拉有些犹豫，毕竟她算不上专家。不过，她还是指着自己的碗，把克拉拉教给她的动作又做了一遍。费利克斯观察她的双手，照着做，随后露出了笑容。后来，他发现诺拉的碗粘在桌面上，便递给她一件木制工具，帮助她把碗托起来。 大家把碗放到架子上晾干。诺拉的碗依然不平整，但她已经不再想把它藏起来了。她拍了一张照片，并与克拉拉约好，烧制完成后把碗寄给她。虽然她没听懂大部分谈话，却已经参与到了这次共同的创作之中。 离开前，诺拉试着询问下一节课。当她想不起一个词时，就指着日历，在纸上画了一个碗。克拉拉马上看懂了这幅画，并圈出星期四。诺拉把纸放进口袋。她的旅行计划中，现在又多了一次重返工作室的安排。 （三）应用文写作 31. 假定你是Morgan，已预订Lakeview Youth Hostel周五一晚的住宿，原计划17:00到达。因列车时刻调整，你预计21:30到达。请给旅舍前台写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1. 说明行程变化； 2. 请求保留预订并确认晚到的入住方式； 3. 询问从车站到旅舍的交通及附近晚间用餐情况。 注意：写作词数应为70词以上。 写作提示 先交代预订信息、原到达时间和新到达时间，再明确提出保留房间、确认入住方式及交通和用餐咨询。可用Could you confirm whether…?或I would appreciate advice on…礼貌提出请求。不要把“改变抵达时间”写成“更换住宿日期”。 Possible Version 1 Dear Reception Team, I'm writing about my booking for Friday night under the name Morgan.

Eastbank's harbour ferry connects Station Pier with Old Quay and Mill Island. You can watch the working harbour from the water, visit a former fishing neighbourhood, and spend an hour among island gardens. Here is what you need to plan your day. Boats leave Station Pier every half hour from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Old Quay is the first stop, twelve minutes away; Mill Island is another eight minutes further on. Boats back from Mill Island leave every half hour from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and call at Old Quay on the way. A £5 return ticket allows you to visit either Old Quay or Mill Island. If you want to explore both, choose the £8 day ticket. It lets you get on and off at any stop throughout the day. Buy either ticket at the pier office; tickets are not sold on board. At Old Quay, a retired fishing crew repairs nets beside the market every Saturday morning. Visitors are welcome to watch and ask questions, but the crew finishes at noon. On Mill Island, the gardener leads a free walk at 2:00 p.m., explaining how plants survive strong sea winds. Places are limited, so book your walk by phone before Friday evening. The island cafe offers sandwiches and hot drinks, though it can get busy. Bringing a packed lunch gives you more time outdoors. There are covered seats near the landing place if a shower arrives. Please reach each pier ten minutes before departure. If your return ferry connects with a train, allow at least forty minutes between the ferry's arrival and the train's departure. Strong winds may slow the crossing, and the ten-minute walk to the railway station includes a busy road. 1. Which ticket should a visitor buy to explore both places? A. An £8 day ticket on the boat. B. A £5 return ticket at the pier. C. A £5 return ticket on the boat. D. An £8 day ticket at the pier. 2. What should visitors do to join the garden walk? A. Call ahead to reserve a place. B. Buy a ticket from the gardener. C. Reach the island before noon. D. Meet the fishing crew first. 3. Why should visitors allow forty minutes between the ferry's arrival and their train's departure? A. To avoid the busiest ferry service. B. To allow for delays and the walk. C. To purchase a train ticket in advance. D. To visit the market near the station. B When my grandmother suggested visiting the railway museum in her hometown, I imagined a long afternoon reading numbers on old engines. I agreed because she rarely asked to go anywhere. Besides, I had a new camera to practise with. The museum occupied a small station that had closed before I was born. Grandma walked slowly past the ticket office, then stopped beside a plain wooden bench. While I looked for something more exciting to photograph, she brushed a leaf from its seat. 'Your great-grandfather always sat at this end,' she said. He had worked in a city factory during the week and returned on Friday evenings. As a little girl, Grandma had waited here with her mother. In winter, her mother spread a coat across the bench so Grandma would not have to sit on the cold wood. I lowered my camera. Grandma described the smell of the bakery across the road and the way everyone stood when the train finally appeared. Her father always carried a newspaper parcel. 'Usually bread,' she said. 'But I checked every time, just in case it was something else.' She laughed, and suddenly I could picture her as a child. A museum volunteer, Henry, came over to ask if we needed help. Instead, Grandma helped him. He knew when the bench had been made, but nobody had recorded how families used this part of the station. With her permission, he wrote down her memories and promised to send her a copy. Before we left, I asked Grandma to sit at her father's end of the bench. She folded her hands and looked towards the empty track. I took one photograph. At home, I put her words beside it in my album. The museum had several impressive engines, but the plain bench filled a whole page. 4. How did the writer feel about the visit at first? A. Excited to learn about old engines. B. Unsure whether the museum was open. C. Doubtful that it would be interesting. D. Worried about using the new camera. 5. What made the bench special to Grandma? A. It was the station's oldest object. B. It reminded her of family reunions. C. It stood outside her mother's shop. D. It had been built by her father. 6. Why did Henry write down Grandma's memories? A. They helped complete the museum's story. B. They provided ideas for repairing the station. C. They explained when the bench was built. D. They corrected information about the engines. 7. What does the final paragraph suggest about the writer? A. The writer regrets missing the museum's best engines. B. The writer prefers taking pictures of empty places. C. The writer now sees value in an ordinary object. D. The writer plans to collect old railway objects. C Imagine stepping out of a station in an unfamiliar city. You know your hotel is near a museum, and both names appear on your map. Yet you cannot decide which way to turn. The problem is not a lack of information. You need to connect the small shapes on the page with the streets in front of you. London's Legible London street maps address this difficulty with a simple choice. Instead of always putting north at the top, they face the same direction as the person reading them. This is called a 'heads-up' map. If a building is ahead of you, it appears towards the top of the map. Drawings of recognisable buildings provide another link between the map and the real place. The maps also help visitors think about the size of a journey. A detailed map shows the nearby area with a five-minute walking circle, while a wider map uses a fifteen-minute circle. One helps you find a particular street; the other helps you see how neighbourhoods connect. A place that seemed to require another train ride may become a possible walk. But distance is only part of the decision. These maps include details such as steps, pavement widths and pedestrian crossings. For someone using a wheelchair, a short route with steps may be unsuitable. A parent pushing a baby might also prefer a wider pavement, even if it means walking a little further. The useful question becomes 'Which route works for me?' Nor does a walking circle promise that everyone will arrive at the same time. The estimates are based on an average walking pace. Consider two travellers leaving the same sign: one carries a small bag, while the other pulls a heavy suitcase. Add a stop to check a street name or admire a shop window, and their arrival times may differ. A number on a map is a starting point for planning, not a personal deadline. So the next time you meet a street map, try using it in stages. First, match one clear landmark with your surroundings. Then decide whether your destination is a comfortable walk and check the route for your own needs. You may still ask someone for help. But the question can be more useful: 'Is there a crossing near that building?' rather than simply 'Where am I?' 8. What is the main purpose of a 'heads-up' map? A. To show walkers which streets have the least traffic. B. To help readers find north without carrying a compass. C. To help readers connect mapped places with their surroundings. D. To show visitors how local buildings looked long ago. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How different maps help walkers plan their journeys. B. How maps record changes in local transport services. C. Why visitors often miss streets near their destinations. D. Why neighbourhoods need different kinds of railway stations. 10. What can be inferred about the traveller with a heavy suitcase? A. The shortest walking route should remain the first choice. B. The suggested walking time may need a personal adjustment. C. A wider map will give a more exact arrival time. D. A nearby destination will usually require a train ride. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Estimating Walking Time in a New City B. Choosing Shorter Routes through Unfamiliar City Streets C. Finding Famous Landmarks on a London Map D. Making a City Easier to Read D On a recent city break, my friend Oliver had a careful plan: three sights before lunch, a famous cafe afterwards, and a riverside walk before dinner. We reached every place on his list. Yet the moment he still talks about happened while we were waiting for the cafe to open. A shopkeeper invited us to watch him repair an old wooden clock. We stayed twenty minutes and missed none of our bookings. That small experience raises a useful question. If we fill every hour before leaving home, where can anything unexpected fit? A travel plan can quietly turn into a set of instructions. We begin measuring a successful day by how many places we have reached. A street becomes merely the space between two attractions, rather than somewhere worth noticing for itself. There are good reasons to plan closely. Holidays cost money, and most people cannot return whenever they please. Popular museums may require advance bookings. Travellers with young children or limited energy also need to know where they can rest. Telling such visitors to simply follow their feelings is hardly useful advice. The chance to travel without a plan is not available to everyone. But an open hour does not require an open day. Keep the museum booking, check the last bus, and choose somewhere for lunch. Then leave a small space between fixed activities. This is easier if the booked visits are in the same area; travelling across town simply eats up the gap. You could return to a shop window that caught your eye or sit in a square long enough to notice who uses it. Nor should we turn that hour into another task. Nothing remarkable has to happen. Perhaps the square is noisy and the shop is closed. You may spend the time resting, which can make the next visit more enjoyable. Searching anxiously for a special experience would only replace one demanding schedule with another. The point is to keep part of the day available for a choice you cannot make from home. Before the trip, you know opening times and ticket prices. Once there, you also know your mood, the weather, and what has caught your attention. A sensible plan should make room for that new information. The blank space on the page is not wasted time; it is a decision left until you are better placed to make it. 12. Why does the writer mention the visit to the clock shop? A. To show how an unexpected stop enriched a trip. B. To explain why local shops need tourist support. C. To show how a famous attraction disappointed visitors. D. To explain why detailed travel plans usually fail. 13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Travellers should choose fewer activities each day. B. Some museums should offer more flexible visiting hours. C. Families often spend too much money on holidays. D. Careful planning meets several practical travel needs. 14. What would the writer probably agree with? A. Visitors need to arrange special activities for their free time. B. A quiet rest can be a good use of an open hour. C. Visitors should cancel bookings when a shop interests them. D. An open hour is worthwhile only if it brings a surprise. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Choose Nearby Sights to Save Time When Travelling B. Make a Detailed Plan for a Successful Holiday C. Leave Some Travel Decisions until You Arrive D.

Street lighting is hidden by the surrounding hills, so visitors can notice stars that disappear above the town. Places must be booked online by noon on Thursday; tickets are not sold at the gate. Choose one of the following sessions. Early Window starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts 75 minutes. It welcomes visitors aged eight and above, with an adult required for anyone under sixteen. A guide introduces several bright stars before helping the group use the main telescope. This is the only session that includes a short demonstration of photographing the Moon with a phone. Deep Sky begins at 9:15 p.m. and lasts 100 minutes. Visitors must be fourteen or older; those under sixteen still need an adult. It begins with a twenty-minute walk along an uneven path to a second viewing platform. The session focuses on faint objects and allows longer periods of quiet observation. No previous astronomy knowledge is necessary. All equipment is supplied. Bring a warm layer even if the town feels comfortable, and leave bright torches at home. Staff provide small red lights, which make it easier for everyone's eyes to remain adjusted to darkness. Visitors should arrive fifteen minutes before their session; late arrivals cannot join once the group leaves reception. Check the booking page after 6 p.m. on the day of your visit. If cloud blocks the sky but the road remains safe, indoor activities will replace outdoor viewing. You may attend these or transfer your booking once to another Friday without charge. If fog makes the hill road unsafe, both sessions will be cancelled and payments returned. Transport up the hill is not included. 1. Who can book Early Window but not Deep Sky? A. An adult without previous astronomy knowledge. B. A fifteen-year-old visiting with his mother. C. A twelve-year-old visiting with her father. D. A teenager of sixteen travelling without adults. 2. Why does the observatory provide small red lights? A. To maintain visitors' ability to see in darkness. B. To mark the safest path to the platform. C. To improve the quality of phone photographs. D. To help visitors identify the brightest stars. 3. What can visitors do if clouds prevent viewing but the road is safe? A. Attend indoor activities or change their visit date. B. Receive transport to a different outdoor viewing area. C. Join the later session at no additional cost. D. Claim a refund and keep their original booking. B Julian had planned the first afternoon of their holiday himself. The town's visitor map promised an 'easy riverside loop', with a printing museum halfway round. His cousin Iris, who used a wheelchair, collected illustrated postcards. He imagined showing her the museum as though he had discovered it personally. The trouble appeared behind a stone bridge: twelve steps leading down to the riverside path. Julian checked the map twice, then folded it into a square small enough to hide in his hand. 'We can go back,' he said. Iris looked at the steps and then across the water. 'Or we can find out where that other path starts.' A shopkeeper directed them towards a crossing beyond the bridge. The detour was longer, but it brought them past a boat repair yard Iris wanted to photograph. At the museum, a narrow front doorway presented another problem. Before Julian could apologise, Iris called the number on the sign. An employee opened the wide side entrance beside the delivery gate. Over lunch, Julian admitted that he had wanted the afternoon to run perfectly. 'You planned places I'd like,' Iris said. 'That's good planning. But next time, let's check the connections together.' She spread the map between their plates. Rather than cross out the whole route, they added the step count, the crossing and the museum's side entrance. Back at their guesthouse, Julian started a review headed 'An easy route for everyone'. Iris raised an eyebrow. A slope that suited her might trouble someone else; a rough surface might matter more than distance. Julian deleted the heading and described what they had actually found, including where the pavement narrowed and which entrance required a phone call. Weeks later, another visitor thanked them online for the details. Julian showed Iris the message. She smiled, then pointed to a photograph from the repair yard. 'And you nearly took us straight back,' she said. 4. What does Julian's action of hiding the map suggest? A. He suspects they have been following another route. B. He hopes to surprise Iris with another museum. C. He feels embarrassed that his plan has failed. D. He wants Iris to choose a different attraction. 5. How does Iris respond to the difficulties during their visit? A. She accepts Julian's suggestion to shorten the afternoon. B. She helps find alternatives and contacts people for access. C. She asks Julian to take full charge of the route. D. She waits for museum employees to notice their problem. 6. Why does Julian change the heading of his review? A. Unexpected stops deserve more attention than planned attractions. B. Public criticism could discourage visitors from the museum. C. Specific route facts help people judge for themselves. D. Short descriptions attract more readers to travel reviews. 7. What can be inferred from Iris's final remark? A. She considers the online response their greatest reward. B. She believes advance planning adds little to a holiday. C. She would prefer to visit the repair yard alone. D. She values what they found by adapting their plans. C Your suitcase disappears behind the check-in desk. Later, while you are waiting to board, a message on your phone says it has been loaded. It is tempting to imagine a tiny device inside the bag reporting every move. In many airline systems, however, that reassuring message comes from something less continuous: a record made when the bag passes a particular point. The process begins with a luggage tag. A printed barcode allows a scanner to identify the bag. Some systems use RFID, a technology in which a reader uses radio waves to collect information from a small chip in the tag. Delta has used this technology to support baggage tracking. Each reading records one point in the journey. As the bag changes hands, further readings are needed to build a useful picture of its progress. That need for several records is reflected in an international tracking requirement. The International Air Transport Association, or IATA, requires member airlines to record bags at four key stages: when passengers hand them over, when they are loaded, when they reach a transfer area, and when they are returned to passengers. Together, these records help show how far a bag has travelled through the handling process. A connecting flight makes the problem more complicated. Imagine one airline delivering a suitcase to a transfer area, where another airline takes responsibility for its next flight. A perfect record inside the first airline's system is of limited use if the next team cannot access it. IATA therefore also requires relevant tracking information to be shared with partner airlines. A successful handover involves both the physical bag and the information about it. Even then, a tracking record should be read carefully. A scan tells staff where a bag was recorded at a particular time; it is not a continuous view of everything happening to that bag. Moreover, airports differ in their equipment and ability to exchange information. A missing update can therefore leave several possibilities open. The bag might be delayed, but the information displayed to the traveller might also be incomplete. The screen alone may not settle the question. This is where people remain essential. If a suitcase fails to appear at arrival, the passenger can ask the airline's baggage staff for help and provide the tag number. A transfer record followed by no loading record, for example, suggests a stage worth checking, without proving what happened. Such clues can narrow the search, but staff still have to locate the suitcase and arrange its return. 8. How does an RFID reader collect baggage information? A. By following the passenger's phone around the airport. B. By receiving radio-wave information from a tag's chip. C. By measuring the suitcase's weight at each stage. D. By photographing the printed name on the suitcase. 9. Why does the writer describe the connecting-flight situation? A. To show why tracking information must cross systems. B. To suggest why passengers should collect bags halfway. C. To compare how airlines choose their transfer airports. D. To explain why transfers require larger luggage tags. 10. What can be inferred from a missing baggage update? A. The suitcase has probably missed its planned connecting flight. B. The passenger needs more evidence before judging the situation. C. The suitcase's tag can no longer be read by scanners. D. The latest record still shows the suitcase's present location. 11. Which statement best expresses the writer's view of baggage tracking? A. It offers travellers a continuous picture of each journey. B. It supports human decisions with records of key stages. C. It works best when passengers follow each loading stage. D. It makes careful handling less important for airport staff. D A visitor enters a market she has seen in an old travel book. The wooden tables have been replaced by metal counters, and several sellers accept phone payments. She photographs the remaining wooden table and writes, 'At last, something real.' It is an understandable response. Yet it raises an awkward question: real according to whom? Travel pictures often preserve a place at one attractive moment. The people living there must keep moving beyond it. A seller may prefer a counter that is easier to clean, just as a visitor may prefer a hotel with reliable hot water. When we call only the older object authentic, we risk turning someone else's daily life into a display whose design we control. That does not mean every change deserves applause. A market can replace useful everyday goods with expensive souvenirs because tour groups bring more money. Higher rents may then push out the very sellers whose presence attracted visitors. In such a case, complaints about lost character can point to real harm. Simply saying that cultures always change would ignore who is paying for that change. The more useful distinction, therefore, is not between old and new, but between changes residents can shape and changes imposed on them. Imagine two renovated market halls with similar glass roofs. In one, sellers help choose the design and keep affordable spaces. In the other, a company removes the regular stalls to create a setting for visitor photographs. Their appearance tells us little about their different relationships with local life. A traveller cannot discover those relationships at a glance. Still, modest questions can improve our judgement. Who uses the place when the tour buses leave? Can ordinary residents still buy what they need? Asking a seller about a new product may reveal more than asking whether it follows an ancient recipe. Listening also means accepting that residents may disagree about what should remain. Visitors influence places through what they praise, photograph and purchase. We need not pretend that our choices have no effect, or that local ownership alone guarantees fairness. But our approval should not depend on whether people remain inside a picture we brought with us. A worthwhile journey can challenge our idea of a place, including our idea of what makes it real. 12.
