Our class will visit Alderford next Sunday. We will follow the old canal to the Town History Centre, then have lunch in Riverside Park. The walk is not a race. We will stop to examine old signs and sketch one object that tells us something about the town. Please read these arrangements before packing your bag.
Meet outside the school gate at 9:20 a.m. Our coach leaves at 9:30. At Alderford, we will begin walking from Mill Bridge. The history centre has reserved places for us, so nobody needs to buy a ticket separately. Our return coach leaves Riverside Park at 3:00 p.m., rather than Mill Bridge. Families collecting students there should note the different location.
Bring a packed lunch, drinking water, a pencil and a small notebook. Wear shoes you can walk in comfortably. A light waterproof jacket may be useful, even if the morning looks bright. Please leave large drawing boards at home: you will need to carry your things throughout the walk. A phone is optional because everyone will receive a paper route card.
If steady rain is expected, we will spend the morning at the history centre instead of walking along the canal. Check the classroom noticeboard on Friday for the final arrangements. Students who have questions about the route should speak to Mrs Bennett before Thursday afternoon. Tell her beforehand if you need a shorter walk, so she can discuss a suitable arrangement with your family.
6. Where will the return coach leave from?
A. The history centre.
B. Riverside Park.
C. The school gate.
D. Mill Bridge.
7. Why should students leave large drawing boards at home?
A. They will draw nothing during the whole visit.
B. They must keep the coach seats completely empty.
C. They must carry their things while walking.
D. They will borrow boards at the history centre.
8. How can students learn the final arrangements?
A. Buy a route card on Thursday.
B. Call the coach driver on Sunday.
C. Ask at Mill Bridge on Saturday.
D. Read the noticeboard on Friday.
9. What can we infer from the notice?
A. The route can be adjusted for some students.

On Tuesday, 12 May, Grace was helping prepare a family visit to a railway museum. Their trip was planned for Thursday, 21 May. Her father had booked the train, and Grace had bought the museum tickets online. She felt pleased that the important jobs were finished. All that remained, she thought, was deciding what to bring for lunch.
Then her grandfather asked her to write the meeting time and visit date on a card. Grace opened the ticket message to check the details. The tickets were for Thursday, 14 May, a week before the planned trip. She had selected the first Thursday shown on the screen without comparing it with the family calendar. The number of visitors was correct, but the date was not.
Grace wanted to hide the mistake and simply buy new tickets. Instead, she told her father. Together, they read the booking instructions. A date change was possible if visitors contacted the museum before their booked visit. Grace called, explained what had happened and received a new ticket message. This time, she checked every detail before saving it.
On the day of the trip, her grandfather used the card to remind everyone when to meet. At lunch, Grace admitted that she had nearly paid twice. He smiled. 'Being organised doesn't mean never making mistakes. It means noticing them early enough to do something.' Grace has kept that card. Before another family outing, she now compares dates, times and names, even when a booking first looks complete.
10. How did Grace discover the wrong date?
A. She compared prices before buying another ticket.
B. She received a warning from the museum staff.
C. She checked details to make a reminder card.
D. She heard her father discussing the train booking.
11. Why was the museum ticket date wrong?
A. The museum moved their visit to an earlier week.
B. Her father changed the train after she booked.
C. Grace selected a date without checking the calendar.
D. Her grandfather wrote the wrong date on the card.
12. What did Grace do after telling her father?
A. She cancelled the train and stayed at home.
B. She contacted the museum to change the date.
C. She asked her grandfather to hide the mistake.
D. She bought new tickets without asking any questions.
13. What lesson did Grace learn from the experience?
A. An early ticket always costs less than a late one.
B. A booking mistake usually needs a second payment.
C. A finished booking still needs careful checking.
D. A family trip is easier without reminder cards.
C
A map can make a journey look simple. Two dots joined by a short line seem easy to travel between. But anyone who has climbed a long flight of steps knows that a short distance is not always a quick walk. A useful travel plan begins with a map and then asks what the map does, and does not, show.
First, check what you are measuring. The straight distance between two places may be much shorter than the walking route. A river might have only one nearby bridge. A railway line might force you to walk to a crossing. Following the actual path gives a more realistic distance. The map's scale, which connects a distance on paper with a distance on the ground, helps you estimate it.
Height matters too. Some detailed maps show contour lines: lines joining points at the same height. When these lines are close together, the land rises or falls steeply. A simple tourist map may leave them out. Two routes of the same length can therefore feel quite different. One might follow a flat riverside path; the other might climb a hill. The shortest route may demand more effort.
Next, think about the people using the route. A symbol for a footpath does not tell you whether your younger brother will enjoy walking it. A staircase may be difficult for someone carrying a heavy bag. Your plan should include pauses that suit the group. Measuring distance carefully is useful, but it cannot decide how often everyone will need a rest or want to stop and look around.
Finally, remember that maps cannot keep every detail current. A path can close for repairs. A museum can change its opening hours. Even a very clear printed map may not include these changes. Look for recent local information before leaving, and ask staff when you arrive if anything remains uncertain. Keep the important details with your route rather than expecting one map to contain every answer.
None of this makes maps unhelpful. They let us see connections that are hard to notice from one street corner. Their strength is showing space, not predicting every part of a day. Used together with local information and an understanding of your group, a map becomes the beginning of a good plan instead of a promise that the journey will be effortless.
14. Why may the walking route be longer than the straight distance?
A. A walker may need to reach a crossing.
B. A walker may need extra time for stops.
C. A walker may carry a heavy travel bag.
D. A traveller may use a different paper scale.
15. What do closely spaced contour lines show?
A. The route receives many daily visitors.
B. The ground changes height sharply.
C. The road stays close to the riverside.
D. The footpath has recently been repaired.
16. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. A route should suit its walking group.
B. Footpath symbols explain everyone’s travel interests.
C. Heavy bags make all short walks unsuitable.
D. Rest stops matter more than measuring distance.
17. What does the writer think of a travel map?
A. It becomes unnecessary once a traveller asks local staff.
B. It is useful when combined with other information.
C. It gives complete answers if its symbols are clear.
D. It works best when every route follows straight lines.
D
A carefully planned trip can feel reassuring. You know where to meet, what tickets cost and how to get home. However, a timetable filled from breakfast to bedtime may create another problem: there is no room for anything that takes longer than expected. Good preparation should help a trip run well, but it should also leave space for the day to unfold.
Imagine a family that has fifteen minutes for a small museum. Once inside, a child finds a model of a bridge she has studied at school. She wants to understand how it works. But the next activity begins soon, so everyone must leave. The plan has brought the family to the right place while preventing them from enjoying what they find there. Finishing the timetable has become more important than the visit.
Some extra time also helps with ordinary delays. A bus might arrive late, or finding the entrance might take a few minutes. When activities follow one another too closely, a small delay can affect the rest of the day. Leaving a gap after an important booking gives the group time to catch up. It can make waiting less upsetting because everyone knows that one missed minute will not ruin everything.
Yet empty space is not the same as having no plan. A family still needs to know which tickets must be booked and when the last train leaves. Some activities cannot move. These should form the fixed points of the day. Other visits can remain flexible. If time is short, the group can choose one nearby place rather than rushing through several. A plan becomes more useful when people know what matters most.
Before leaving, ask each person to name one thing they especially want to do. Build the main arrangements around these choices, and keep some time unfilled. This gives quieter group members a chance to be heard. It also makes later decisions easier: people can discuss their wishes instead of arguing over a list that nobody helped to create.
An empty space may become a long conversation, a rest on a bench or a visit nobody expected. Sometimes it remains empty, and that is fine too. A successful trip does not need an activity in every minute. Preparation has done its job when people can make informed choices and return with experiences they enjoyed, rather than only a timetable they managed to finish.
18. What problem does the family’s museum visit show?
A. A bridge model takes too much space to display.
B. A child should choose every family activity alone.
C. A small museum needs a longer opening period.
D. A crowded plan can limit a useful experience.
19. How can a gap after an important booking help?
A. It makes the group finish every activity earlier.
B. It keeps every bus from arriving behind schedule.
C. It gives the group time to recover from delays.
D. It allows the group to ignore all booked times.
20. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Keep key arrangements fixed and other visits flexible.
B. Let each person travel alone and meet at the station.
C. Book every ticket early and follow every minute closely.
D. Choose nearby places and give up all distant visits.
21. Which plan would the writer most likely support?
A. Follow one person’s wishes and fill every afternoon.
B. List ten attractions and shorten every lunch break.
C. Choose no meeting place and decide after arrival.
D. Book the main visit with time to explore.
三、完形填空
A
Sophie and her brother Theo were getting ready for a weekend in a hill town. They checked the __22__ forecast: the mornings would be cool, with some rain possible. Their parents asked them to share one backpack for the day's walk. Sophie put in three books, two games and a large pencil case. Theo added several toy cars.
When they lifted the backpack, it was surprisingly __23__. Neither wanted to carry it far. Their mother did not pack it for them. Instead, she asked which things they really __24__ during a single day's visit. The children spread everything on the floor. For each item, they used the same __25__: 'When will we use it?'
Theo __26__ the toy cars after remembering that most of the day would be spent walking. Sophie chose one small notebook instead of three books. There was now __27__ for their lunch and water. They kept a few pencils in a __28__ case, so both could draw without taking separate sets. A light jacket for each person went on top.
The second backpack was much __29__ to carry. Before closing it, they __30__ the list together and noticed that the route card was still on the table. On the trip, they used nearly everything they had brought. Sophie wrote about the town in their notebook, and Theo drew the same street. They agreed that good __31__ was less about taking everything and more about thinking ahead.

Dylan wanted to organise a day trip for his family. He had visited the seaside town before and felt __32__ of his knowledge. He made a route connecting seven places, from the clock tower to the old shipyard. He checked opening times and drew neat arrows on a map. At first, he believed a clear route was all that a good plan required.
His uncle Marcus looked at it and said the afternoon seemed __33__. Dylan immediately began defending his choices. Then his mother asked him to __34__ before replying. His grandfather wanted to spend time watching boats, not just walk past them. His younger cousin Ada wanted to draw. Neither had been asked what they hoped to do during the trip.
Dylan also discovered something missing from his map. The short route to the clock tower included a __35__ climb with many steps. Marcus had taken it on an earlier visit and remembered how tiring it was. Their map did not show the steps. Dylan read a visitor leaflet and decided to __36__ that part of the route with a level path beside the harbour.
There was another __37__ to make. Visiting both the tower and the shipyard would leave almost no time for lunch. Dylan asked everyone which visit mattered more to them. They chose the shipyard because it connected with his grandfather's interest. He left time for Ada to draw there and added a __38__ at a nearby café. The map now had fewer arrows, but clearer reasons behind them.
On the morning of the trip, Dylan explained the revised plan. Instead of giving orders, he invited questions. At the shipyard, his grandfather told Ada how the wooden boats were built. She drew while he talked. They spent nearly an hour __39__, and Dylan realised that this conversation was not a delay. It was one of the experiences the family had come to enjoy.
Back home, Marcus thanked Dylan for being __40__ enough to change his first plan. Dylan kept both versions of the map. The first showed how much information he had collected; the second showed how much better he understood his family. He no longer thought that a __41__ plan meant fitting in every possible place. It meant giving the people travelling a chance to enjoy the day together.

On Tuesday, 12 May, Grace was helping prepare a family visit to a railway museum. Their trip was planned for Thursday, 21 May. Her father had booked the train, and Grace had bought the museum tickets online. She felt pleased that the important jobs were finished. All that remained, she thought, was deciding what to bring for lunch.
Then her grandfather asked her to write the meeting time and visit date on a card. Grace opened the ticket message to check the details. The tickets were for Thursday, 14 May, a week before the planned trip. She had selected the first Thursday shown on the screen without comparing it with the family calendar. The number of visitors was correct, but the date was not.
Grace wanted to hide the mistake and simply buy new tickets. Instead, she told her father. Together, they read the booking instructions. A date change was possible if visitors contacted the museum before their booked visit. Grace called, explained what had happened and received a new ticket message. This time, she checked every detail before saving it.
On the day of the trip, her grandfather used the card to remind everyone when to meet. At lunch, Grace admitted that she had nearly paid twice. He smiled. 'Being organised doesn't mean never making mistakes. It means noticing them early enough to do something.' Grace has kept that card. Before another family outing, she now compares dates, times and names, even when a booking first looks complete.
10. How did Grace discover the wrong date?
A. She compared prices before buying another ticket.
B. She received a warning from the museum staff.

A. The museum moved their visit to an earlier week.
B. Her father changed the train after she booked.
C. Grace selected a date without checking the calendar.
D. Her grandfather wrote the wrong date on the card.
【答案】C 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第二段说她直接选了屏幕上的第一个周四,没有与家庭日历比较,导致门票比计划早一周。
12. What did Grace do after telling her father?
A. She cancelled the train and stayed at home.
B. She contacted the museum to change the date.
C. She asked her grandfather to hide the mistake.
D. She bought new tickets without asking any questions.

参考译文
五月十二日周二,格蕾丝正在帮忙准备全家参观铁路博物馆的活动。他们计划在五月二十一日周四出行。父亲已经订好火车票,格蕾丝也在网上买好了博物馆门票。她很高兴重要的事情都已完成。她认为剩下的只是决定午饭带什么。
接着,祖父请她把集合时间和参观日期写在一张卡片上。格蕾丝打开购票信息核对细节,发现门票日期是五月十四日周四,比原定行程早一周。她选择了屏幕上出现的第一个周四,没有与家庭日历核对。参观人数正确,日期却不对。
格蕾丝想隐瞒错误,直接重新买票。但她最终告诉了父亲。他们一起阅读订票说明。只要游客在所订日期之前联系博物馆,就可以更改日期。格蕾丝打电话解释事情经过,收到了一条新的门票信息。这一次,她在保存前检查了所有细节。
出行当天,祖父用卡片提醒大家何时集合。吃午饭时,格蕾丝承认自己差点付了两次钱。他笑着说:“有条理不等于从不犯错,而是及时发现错误,还来得及采取行动。”格蕾丝一直保存着那张卡片。现在,每次家庭出游前,即使订票看起来已经完成,她也会核对日期、时间和姓名。

A map can make a journey look simple. Two dots joined by a short line seem easy to travel between. But anyone who has climbed a long flight of steps knows that a short distance is not always a quick walk. A useful travel plan begins with a map and then asks what the map does, and does not, show.
First, check what you are measuring. The straight distance between two places may be much shorter than the walking route. A river might have only one nearby bridge. A railway line might force you to walk to a crossing. Following the actual path gives a more realistic distance. The map's scale, which connects a distance on paper with a distance on the ground, helps you estimate it.
Height matters too. Some detailed maps show contour lines: lines joining points at the same height. When these lines are close together, the land rises or falls steeply. A simple tourist map may leave them out. Two routes of the same length can therefore feel quite different. One might follow a flat riverside path; the other might climb a hill. The shortest route may demand more effort.
Next, think about the people using the route. A symbol for a footpath does not tell you whether your younger brother will enjoy walking it. A staircase may be difficult for someone carrying a heavy bag. Your plan should include pauses that suit the group. Measuring distance carefully is useful, but it cannot decide how often everyone will need a rest or want to stop and look around.
Finally, remember that maps cannot keep every detail current. A path can close for repairs. A museum can change its opening hours. Even a very clear printed map may not include these changes. Look for recent local information before leaving, and ask staff when you arrive if anything remains uncertain. Keep the important details with your route rather than expecting one map to contain every answer.

Used together with local information and an understanding of your group, a map becomes the beginning of a good plan instead of a promise that the journey will be effortless.
14. Why may the walking route be longer than the straight distance?
A. A walker may need to reach a crossing.
B. A walker may need extra time for stops.
C. A walker may carry a heavy travel bag.
D. A traveller may use a different paper scale.
【答案】A 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第二段说明河流或铁路可能要求行人绕行至桥或道口,因此实际步行距离超过直线距离。休息和重包会影响耗时或体力,但不直接改变路线长度;比例尺用于测量,也不改变实际路线。
15. What do closely spaced contour lines show?
A. The route receives many daily visitors.
B. The ground changes height sharply.
C. The road stays close to the riverside.
D. The footpath has recently been repaired.
【答案】B 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第三段直接解释等高线靠得很近时,地势上升或下降较陡,表示高度变化明显。
16. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. A route should suit its walking group.
B. Footpath symbols explain everyone’s travel interests.
C. Heavy bags make all short walks unsuitable.
D. Rest stops matter more than measuring distance.
【答案】A 【分类】段落主旨 【解析】第四段围绕弟弟的兴趣、携带重包的人和全组人的休息需要展开,说明路线应考虑使用者。并未说测量距离不重要。
17. What does the writer think of a travel map?
A. It becomes unnecessary once a traveller asks local staff.
B. It is useful when combined with other information.
C. It gives complete answers if its symbols are clear.
D. It works best when every route follows straight lines.
【答案】B 【分类】观点判断 【解析】末段肯定地图展示空间关系的作用,同时强调结合当地信息及同行者的情况使用。它不是完整答案,也不能被简单取代。
参考译文
地图会让一段旅程看起来很简单。两个点被一条短线连接,似乎很容易从一处到达另一处。但爬过很长一段台阶的人都知道,距离短不一定走得快。一份实用的旅行计划从地图开始,然后思考地图显示了什么,又没有显示什么。
首先,弄清自己测量的是什么。两地之间的直线距离可能比步行路线短得多。一条河附近可能只有一座桥,一条铁路线也可能迫使你走到道口。沿实际道路测量,才能得到更符合实际的距离。地图比例尺把纸上的距离与地面的距离联系起来,有助于估算。
高度也很重要。有些详细地图显示等高线,即把海拔相同的点连接起来的线。这些线靠得很近时,地势上升或下降较陡。简单的旅游地图可能不显示它们。因此,两条等长的路线走起来可能很不一样。一条也许沿着平坦的河边,另一条却要爬山。最短的路线可能更费力。
接着,想想使用路线的人。一个人行道标记并不能告诉你,弟弟是否喜欢走这条路。带着重包的人也许很难走台阶。计划应包含适合全组人的休息安排。仔细测量距离有用,但它无法决定每个人多久需要休息,或者多久想停下来看看周围。
最后,记住地图不可能让每一项细节都保持最新。道路可能因维修关闭,博物馆可能更改开放时间。即使非常清楚的纸质地图也可能没有包含这些变化。出发前查找近期的当地信息,到达后若还有不确定之处,可以询问工作人员。把重要信息与路线一起保存,不要指望一张地图包含所有答案。
这些情况并不说明地图无用。地图能帮助我们看清站在一个街角时难以注意到的联系。它擅长显示空间关系,却不能预测一天中的每一件事。将地图与当地信息、对同行者的了解结合起来,它就成为好计划的起点,而不是保证旅程毫不费力的承诺。

A carefully planned trip can feel reassuring. You know where to meet, what tickets cost and how to get home. However, a timetable filled from breakfast to bedtime may create another problem: there is no room for anything that takes longer than expected. Good preparation should help a trip run well, but it should also leave space for the day to unfold.
Imagine a family that has fifteen minutes for a small museum. Once inside, a child finds a model of a bridge she has studied at school. She wants to understand how it works. But the next activity begins soon, so everyone must leave. The plan has brought the family to the right place while preventing them from enjoying what they find there. Finishing the timetable has become more important than the visit.
Some extra time also helps with ordinary delays. A bus might arrive late, or finding the entrance might take a few minutes. When activities follow one another too closely, a small delay can affect the rest of the day. Leaving a gap after an important booking gives the group time to catch up. It can make waiting less upsetting because everyone knows that one missed minute will not ruin everything.
Yet empty space is not the same as having no plan. A family still needs to know which tickets must be booked and when the last train leaves. Some activities cannot move. These should form the fixed points of the day. Other visits can remain flexible. If time is short, the group can choose one nearby place rather than rushing through several. A plan becomes more useful when people know what matters most.
Before leaving, ask each person to name one thing they especially want to do. Build the main arrangements around these choices, and keep some time unfilled. This gives quieter group members a chance to be heard. It also makes later decisions easier: people can discuss their wishes instead of arguing over a list that nobody helped to create.
An empty space may become a long conversation, a rest on a bench or a visit nobody expected. Sometimes it remains empty, and that is fine too. A successful trip does not need an activity in every minute. Preparation has done its job when people can make informed choices and return with experiences they enjoyed, rather than only a timetable they managed to finish.
18. What problem does the family’s museum visit show?
A. A bridge model takes too much space to display.
B. A child should choose every family activity alone.
C. A small museum needs a longer opening period.
D. A crowded plan can limit a useful experience.
【答案】D 【分类】推理判断 【解析】第二段的孩子发现与学习相关的模型,却因下一项安排被迫离开,说明过满的计划可能限制有价值的体验。
19. How can a gap after an important booking help?
A. It makes the group finish every activity earlier.
B. It keeps every bus from arriving behind schedule.
C. It gives the group time to recover from delays.
D. It allows the group to ignore all booked times.
【答案】C 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第三段指出空档给小组 catch up 的时间,能缓冲晚点或找入口等耽搁,不能防止公交晚点或让人忽略预约。
20. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Keep key arrangements fixed and other visits flexible.
B. Let each person travel alone and meet at the station.
C. Book every ticket early and follow every minute closely.
D. Choose nearby places and give up all distant visits.
【答案】A 【分类】段落主旨 【解析】第四段区分不能改动的关键安排与可灵活调整的参观,核心是固定重点、灵活处理其他活动。
21. Which plan would the writer most likely support?
A. Follow one person’s wishes and fill every afternoon.
B. List ten attractions and shorten every lunch break.
C. Choose no meeting place and decide after arrival.
D. Book the main visit with time to explore.
【答案】D 【分类】观点判断 【解析】作者赞成事先确定重要事项,并保留调整与探索的余地。该安排同时包含主要预约和自由探索时间,符合全文观点。
参考译文
周密安排的旅行能让人安心。你知道在哪里集合、门票多少钱以及怎样回家。然而,从早饭到睡觉都排满的时间表,也可能带来另一个问题:任何事情一旦比预计耗时更长,就没有调整空间。好的准备应帮助旅行顺利进行,也应给一天的自然展开留出余地。
想象一家人只安排十五分钟参观一个小博物馆。进去后,一个孩子发现一座她在学校学过的桥的模型,想弄懂它如何运作。但下一项活动很快开始,所以大家必须离开。计划把全家带到了正确的地方,却阻碍了他们享受在那里发现的东西。完成时间表变得比参观本身更重要。
额外的时间也有助于应对普通的耽搁。公交车可能晚点,寻找入口也可能需要几分钟。活动衔接得过紧时,一个小延误就会影响后续一整天。在重要预约后留出空档,可以给全组人追上进度的时间。等待也会让人少些烦躁,因为大家知道晚一分钟不会毁掉全部安排。
不过,留白不等于没有计划。一家人仍需知道哪些票必须预订、末班火车几点出发。有些活动时间不能改,应把它们作为一天中的固定节点。其他参观可以灵活安排。时间不足时,大家可以选择一个附近的地方,而不是匆忙逛好几处。当人们知道什么最重要时,计划会更实用。
出发前,请每个人说出一件特别想做的事。围绕这些选择作出主要安排,并保留一些未填满的时间。这使较安静的同行者也有表达意见的机会,也让之后的决定更容易:大家可以讨论愿望,而不是围着一张谁都没参与制定的清单争论。
一个空档可能变成长谈、在长椅上休息,或者一次谁都没有预想到的参观。有时它始终空着,那也没有关系。成功的旅行不必每一分钟都有活动。当人们能够在了解情况后作出选择,带着愉快的经历回来,而不只是完成了一张时间表时,准备就发挥了作用。

参考译文
索菲和弟弟西奥正在准备去山城过周末。他们查看了天气预报:早晨会凉爽,可能有雨。父母让他们在当天步行时共用一个背包。索菲放进三本书、两种游戏用品和一个大铅笔盒,西奥又添了几辆玩具车。
提起背包时,他们发现它出乎意料地重,两人都不想背着它走很远。母亲没有替他们整理,而是问:一天的参观中,他们真正需要什么?孩子们把所有东西摊在地板上。对于每一件物品,他们都问同一个问题:“什么时候会用到它?”
西奥想起一天中大部分时间都要走路,就拿出了玩具车。索菲选了一个小笔记本,代替三本书。背包里现在有地方放午饭和水了。他们把几支铅笔放在一个共用的盒子里,这样两人都能画画,不必各带一套。每人一件轻便外套放在最上面。
第二次整理后的背包好背多了。合上背包前,他们一起检查清单,发现路线卡还在桌上。旅行中,他们几乎用到了带去的所有物品。索菲在笔记本上写小镇见闻,西奥画了同一条街。他们一致认为,好的准备不是带上所有东西,而是提前想清楚。
B
Dylan wanted to organise a day trip for his family. He had visited the seaside town before and felt __32__ of his knowledge. He made a route connecting seven places, from the clock tower to the old shipyard. He checked opening times and drew neat arrows on a map. At first, he believed a clear route was all that a good plan required.
His uncle Marcus looked at it and said the afternoon seemed __33__. Dylan immediately began defending his choices. Then his mother asked him to __34__ before replying. His grandfather wanted to spend time watching boats, not just walk past them. His younger cousin Ada wanted to draw. Neither had been asked what they hoped to do during the trip.
Dylan also discovered something missing from his map. The short route to the clock tower included a __35__ climb with many steps. Marcus had taken it on an earlier visit and remembered how tiring it was. Their map did not show the steps. Dylan read a visitor leaflet and decided to __36__ that part of the route with a level path beside the harbour.
There was another __37__ to make. Visiting both the tower and the shipyard would leave almost no time for lunch. Dylan asked everyone which visit mattered more to them. They chose the shipyard because it connected with his grandfather's interest. He left time for Ada to draw there and added a __38__ at a nearby café. The map now had fewer arrows, but clearer reasons behind them.
On the morning of the trip, Dylan explained the revised plan. Instead of giving orders, he invited questions. At the shipyard, his grandfather told Ada how the wooden boats were built. She drew while he talked. They spent nearly an hour __39__, and Dylan realised that this conversation was not a delay. It was one of the experiences the family had come to enjoy.
Back home, Marcus thanked Dylan for being __40__ enough to change his first plan. Dylan kept both versions of the map. The first showed how much information he had collected; the second showed how much better he understood his family. He no longer thought that a __41__ plan meant fitting in every possible place. It meant giving the people travelling a chance to enjoy the day together.

参考译文
迪伦想为家人组织一次一日游。他以前去过那个海滨小镇,对自己的了解感到自豪。他设计了一条连接七个地点的路线,从钟楼一直到老船厂。他查了开放时间,还在地图上画了整齐的箭头。起初,他认为一份好计划只需要一条清楚的路线。
叔叔马库斯看了计划,说下午似乎安排得太满。迪伦立刻开始为自己的选择辩护。母亲请他先听完再回答。祖父想花些时间看船,而不是只走过船边。年幼的表妹艾达想画画。此前,没有人问过他们希望在旅行中做什么。
迪伦还发现地图漏了一些东西。通往钟楼的短路需要爬一段有很多台阶的陡坡。马库斯以前走过,记得那有多累。他们的地图没有标出台阶。迪伦读了一份游客介绍单,决定用港口旁一条平坦的路替换这段路线。
他们还需要作另一个选择。钟楼和船厂都去,几乎就没有吃午饭的时间。迪伦问大家更看重哪个地点。他们选择了船厂,因为它与祖父的兴趣有关。他留出时间让艾达在那里画画,并加上了在附近咖啡馆休息的安排。地图上的箭头少了,但每个安排背后的理由更清楚了。
出行那天早晨,迪伦讲解了修改后的计划。他没有发号施令,而是请大家提问。在船厂,祖父向艾达讲述木船如何建造。她边听边画。他们在一起待了将近一个小时,迪伦意识到这次交谈不是耽误时间,而是全家来这里想享受的经历之一。
回家后,马库斯感谢迪伦耐心修改最初的计划。迪伦保留了两版地图。第一版显示他收集了多少信息,第二版显示他对家人有了多深的了解。他不再认为完整的计划就是塞进所有可能去的地方,而是让同行的人有机会一起享受这一天。

Possible Version 1
Hi Ben,
I have booked our bus tickets and found a small museum to visit. I have also packed a notebook and some pencils. I haven't checked the museum's opening hours, so I will call tomorrow. Could you check the weather? I suggest bringing a light jacket and a packed lunch. We can leave some time to explore the old streets. I'm looking forward to our trip!
Alex
Possible Version 2
Hi Ben,
Our Saturday trip is taking shape. I have booked the bus tickets and compared two walking routes. The path beside the river is slightly longer, but it avoids the steep steps near the tower.
One detail still needs checking: whether the museum opens before lunch. I will contact the staff tomorrow and send you the confirmed plan. Could you check the forecast and bring the paper map? I suggest choosing one main visit and leaving the afternoon flexible. That way, we can stop when something catches our interest. Good preparation should give us the freedom to enjoy the town, rather than hurry through it.
