(本题10分)After graduating from high school, the three of us girls kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances and addresses.
In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend riding trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I was a little worried before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We would be on trails for hours at a time for days. What if none of these were fun?
Actually, I needn’t have worried. We had plenty to talk about. We knew each other better than ever. We got tired and cranky. But the tour was fun. On the trails we talked about common friends we had, new friends we had, books, movies, and music. We circled back to certain conversations and revisited what we had heard or said.
Moving through a changing landscape and following the rivers or the coast seem to enable us to think more broadly and deeply. Having no goal other than reaching our accommodation before dusk presents an unexpected opportunity to deepen our understanding of each other and ourselves. And such unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be conducive to reflection.
Some places on the trails stay with me more than others. Encounters, too. Among them is the elderly retriever (寻回犬) on Prince Edward Island, waiting for us at the door of Shaw’s Hotel. It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us for a longer time and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s ups and downs, or because of them.
As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is underway. In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails — just as our friendship does.
24.(2.5分)What was the author’s primary concern about the planned tour in 2014?
A.The potential of failing to enjoy the trip.
B.The cost of the tour.
C.The difficulty of riding trails.
D.The physical challenges during the trip.
25.(2.5分)What is one benefit of travelling together without a specific goal?
A.Increasing physical strength. B.Discovering rare landscapes.
C.Improving communication skills. D.Encouraging deeper thoughts.
26.(2.5分)What does the author imply about unexpected pleasures?
A.They fade quickly with time. B.They grow deeper over time.
C.They depend on travel modes. D.They become less meaningful.
27.(2.5分)Why does the author mention Tour 3 in the last paragraph?
A.To contrast it with past experiences. B.To highlight an upcoming travel plan.
C.To indicate the continuation of friendship. D.To emphasize unsolved disagreements.
(本题10分)Change can be troubling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an unquestionable worry that goes with seeing our life change. Thankfully, nature recalls us that entering a new season in our life is nothing to fear but something to enjoy.
What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a form of tourism in the United States that brings in much money. A research shows that across 24 states in the eastern half of the country, fall-leaf tourism adds more than $30 billion to local economies. And even though climate change has made it more difficult to foretell when exactly fall leaves will top out, it hasn’t stopped people from trying to work it out. Tourism leaders from the Smoky Mountains recently give out their yearly fall-leaf foretelling map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views.
Perhaps part of what makes the fall leaves so special is the belief that it’s short-term. Finally, all leaves will fall off the trees, and we’ll stop taking photos. And as the seasons change and we feel that same longing for what was, trees will once again welcome their development.
Even when the flashy fall colors no longer stay on the trees and their inner systems slow down, trees are still supporting the ecosystem. The fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and provide the earth with food the trees need to grow. Insects hide themselves in their bark, finally becoming food for other wildlife looking for a place to make home. Their strong roots help to stop the winter snowwater from washing the earth away.
Right now, trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next period. During this time of the year, it feels like forests are just offering endless pleasure for free. And fall leaves are an everlasting remembrance that the growth with changes is beautiful.
28.(2.5分)What does “leaf-peeping” refer to?
A.A way taken by tourism leaders to protect trees.
B.A method of foreseeing when fall leaves will top out.
C.A form of tourism where people go to see fall leaves.
D.A research about the results of climate change on trees.
29.(2.5分)Why do people find fall leaves so special?
A.They help service ecosystems. B.They last only for a short time.
C.They bring change to daily life. D.They support the local economy.
30.(2.5分)What can we learn about trees in fall from paragraph 4?
A.They are easily harmed by bacteria.
B.They play a role in cut back snowfall.
C.They stop rooting because of cold weather.
D.They continue providing protection for wildlife.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Lesson from Trees: Welcoming Changes B.Climate Changes in the Season of Fall
C.Trees Supporting the Ecosystem D.Fall Leaves Tourism in the US
(本题10分)Thirty years ago, travel relied entirely on offline resources and manual arrangements (人工安排). Without smart devices, precise GPS or convenient online booking services, tourists could only plan trips with paper maps and traditional travel agencies, leaving little room for temporary changes or flexible adjustments. Today, rapid technological innovation, especially the booming development of AI and wearable devices, has completely revolutionized the whole travel experience, bringing travelers remarkable practical conveniences as well as some easily overlooked weak points.
The latest travel tech breakthrough comes from intelligent wearable translation devices. The 2025 upgraded AirPods, equipped with powerful offline AI translation functions, can serve as instant personal interpreters for global travelers anytime and anywhere. Compared with traditional translation tools that are slow and inaccurate, modern AI-powered devices feature extremely fast response speed and high translation accuracy, effectively breaking down the long-standing language barriers in cross-border travel. Meanwhile, mature VR technology allows tourists to preview hotel facilities and scenic landscapes in advance, greatly reducing travel uncertainty and avoiding unexpected troubles during trips.
AI also systematically optimizes (使最优化) the whole travel arrangements and service system. Nearly half of European travelers turn to AI tools to design personalized travel routes, while airlines and hotels flexibly apply AI to adjust services and prices based on real-time demand. Airports adopt 3D scanners and facial recognition systems to simplify security checks, removing liquid and laptop inspection rules and greatly streamlining (精简) travel procedures. However, the rapid tech boom has triggered unavoidable new problems. Viral scenic spots promoted by social media suffer from severe over-tourism, disturbing local residents’ lives and damaging fragile local ecosystems.
Besides, excessive dependence on intelligent technology causes widespread tech tiredness and weakens face-to-face human interaction during travel. Online bookings and automatic services make in-person communication increasingly rare. Industry experts note that modern travelers are becoming sensible and selective about tech use. The future of travel tech lies in targeted, purposeful application that improves travel experience rather than distracting travelers. Ultimately, balanced and inclusive tech use will lead the new stage of global travel development.
32.(2.5分)What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.Modern travel technology brings great convenience to tourists only.
B.Traditional travel agencies have disappeared because of online services.
C.Travelers nowadays fail to make any flexible changes to their journeys.
D.AI and wearable devices have greatly changed people’s way of travelling.
33.(2.5分)What can we infer about VR tech for travelers?
A.It limits their options. B.It reduces their doubts.
C.It cuts their travel costs. D.It replaces their real trips.
34.(2.5分)What is a positive result of the travel tech boom?
A.More human contact. B.Lower tech demands.
C.Fewer tourist attractions. D.Faster travel security check process.
35.(2.5分)What is the core idea of future travel tech?
A.Selective tech use. B.Full tech coverage.
C.Blind tech upgrading. D.Complete tech rejection.
(本题12.5分)Tourism is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, generating trillions in revenue (收入) annually and employing millions across the globe. 36(2.5分)
At its core, tourism is an economic engine. For countries rich in natural beauty, historical heritage, or unique culture, it becomes a primary source of foreign exchange. Tourists spend on accommodation, dining, transportation, and souvenirs, supporting local shops and restaurants.
37(2.5分) Visitors immerse (陷入) themselves in local traditions, while hosts learn about global lifestyles. This cross-cultural interaction breaks down prejudices and promotes international friendship. Moreover, tourism often leads to better roads, airports and public services, which improve local people’s daily life as well.
Despite its advantages, unmanaged tourism brings serious problems. 38(2.5分) Forests are cut down for hotels; beaches and scenic spots are polluted by plastic waste; delicate ecosystems are damaged by too many visitors. Culturally, local customs may be over-commercialized and lose their real meaning. Socially, tourism can push up local prices and create conflicts between tourists and residents.
Sustainable tourism provides a practical solution. 39(2.5分) Governments can set limits on visitor numbers and protect natural areas. Hotels and restaurants should use non-polluting materials and save energy. For individual tourists, we can choose off-peak seasons, buy local products, and follow local rules. 40(2.5分) Only in this way can tourism continue to benefit the world without destroying the beauty and cultures we value.
A.Culture is another major highlight of tourism.
B.Its most direct effect shows in the local economy.
C.Small acts by tourists can make a huge difference.
D.People travel abroad to experience different lifestyles.
E.Many popular attractions are being damaged by over-tourism.
F.It also helps improve communication between different nations.
G.It means eco-friendly travel with consideration for local traditions.

67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I just finished the amazing four-day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu, and drunk on nature, was feeling perfectly confident. The clean Peruvian air still refreshed my lungs and the brain fog caused by my daily phone use hadn’t returned. The bad events that came next started once I turned my phone back on. Responding to a Twitter request for Peru tips, a stranger posted: “Try mountain biking down a volcano in Arequipa! ”
Those eight words changed everything. I quickly said goodbye to my biking friend and changed my flight. As someone who loves excitement, the idea seemed too good to miss. I’ve skydived, slid down sand hills, flown with parachutes, and leaped (跳) off New Zealand’s tallest tower. I share this not to boast, but to acknowledge a pattern in my life. Normal life always made me feel dull without regular adventures to make me feel alive. Riding down a volcano sounded like something I couldn’t let pass.
I had trouble finding a tour group that would take me alone, which should have been a warning, but I finally managed to find one. I began the two-hour journey up the volcano with my guide and driver. At 4, 200 meters, the volcano towers over the city. As the car moved over rocky bumps (隆起部分), a familiar mix of fear and excitement filled me—the feeling of being truly alive.
At the top, I put on the necessities and extra clothes. At first, going down the winding rocky path was wonderful. I sang Life by Des’ree as excitement rushed through me. My guide pointed out three rough shortcuts straight down the slope(斜坡). I said no to the first three as they looked too steep(陡峭的), but finally agreed to the fourth.
Suddenly the ground was almost at a 30-degree angle. I stopped singing. Fear shot through me. I yelled loudly. “Good job, Mr. Gary! ” My guide laughed as I made it down a steep part. “Remember, don’t brake on the slope. ”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The bike then went alarmingly fast.

(本题10分)After graduating from high school, the three of us girls kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances and addresses.
In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend riding trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I was a little worried before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We would be on trails for hours at a time for days. What if none of these were fun?
Actually, I needn’t have worried. We had plenty to talk about. We knew each other better than ever. We got tired and cranky. But the tour was fun. On the trails we talked about common friends we had, new friends we had, books, movies, and music. We circled back to certain conversations and revisited what we had heard or said.
Moving through a changing landscape and following the rivers or the coast seem to enable us to think more broadly and deeply. Having no goal other than reaching our accommodation before dusk presents an unexpected opportunity to deepen our understanding of each other and ourselves. And such unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be conducive to reflection.
Some places on the trails stay with me more than others. Encounters, too. Among them is the elderly retriever (寻回犬) on Prince Edward Island, waiting for us at the door of Shaw’s Hotel. It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us for a longer time and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s ups and downs, or because of them.
As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is underway. In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails — just as our friendship does.
24.(2.5分)What was the author’s primary concern about the planned tour in 2014?
A.The potential of failing to enjoy the trip.
B.The cost of the tour.
C.The difficulty of riding trails.
D.The physical challenges during the trip.
25.(2.5分)What is one benefit of travelling together without a specific goal?
A.Increasing physical strength. B.Discovering rare landscapes.
C.Improving communication skills. D.Encouraging deeper thoughts.
26.(2.5分)What does the author imply about unexpected pleasures?
A.They fade quickly with time. B.They grow deeper over time.
C.They depend on travel modes. D.They become less meaningful.
27.(2.5分)Why does the author mention Tour 3 in the last paragraph?
A.To contrast it with past experiences. B.To highlight an upcoming travel plan.
C.To indicate the continuation of friendship. D.To emphasize unsolved disagreements.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.B 27.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者与朋友多年后重聚骑行,享受旅行并深化友谊,且期待新旅程。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“I was a little worried before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We would be on trails for hours at a time for days. What if none of these were fun? (在第一次旅行之前,我有点担心。这么多年过去了,我们彼此有多了解呢?我们还有像以前那样多的共同点吗?我们有足够的话题可聊吗?我们一次要在小径上待几个小时,持续好几天。如果这些都不有趣怎么办呢?)”可知,作者主要担心不能享受这次旅行。
25.细节理解题。根据第四段“Having no goal other than reaching our accommodation before dusk presents an unexpected opportunity to deepen our understanding of each other and ourselves. And such unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be conducive to reflection. (除了在黄昏前到达我们的住处之外,没有其他目标,这为我们提供了一个意想不到的机会,让我们更深入地了解彼此和我们自己。在朋友的陪伴下,在大自然中度过这样不慌不忙的日子,有利于反思。)”可知,没有特定目标的旅行能鼓励更深入的思考。
26.推理判断题。根据第五段“It’s because, I think, the pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us for a longer time and get richer over time. (我认为,这是因为我们没有预料到的快乐会陪伴我们更长时间,并且随着时间的推移会变得更加丰富。)”可知,作者暗示意外的快乐会随着时间变得更深。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails — just as our friendship does. (我们计划,我们不同意并抱怨,我们表达热情,我们开始对话,知道这些对话会在小径上继续——就像我们的友谊一样。)”可知,作者提到第三次旅行是为了表明友谊的延续。
(本题10分)Change can be troubling. Good or bad, exciting or unexpected, there’s an unquestionable worry that goes with seeing our life change. Thankfully, nature recalls us that entering a new season in our life is nothing to fear but something to enjoy.
What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a form of tourism in the United States that brings in much money. A research shows that across 24 states in the eastern half of the country, fall-leaf tourism adds more than $30 billion to local economies. And even though climate change has made it more difficult to foretell when exactly fall leaves will top out, it hasn’t stopped people from trying to work it out. Tourism leaders from the Smoky Mountains recently give out their yearly fall-leaf foretelling map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views.
Perhaps part of what makes the fall leaves so special is the belief that it’s short-term. Finally, all leaves will fall off the trees, and we’ll stop taking photos. And as the seasons change and we feel that same longing for what was, trees will once again welcome their development.
Even when the flashy fall colors no longer stay on the trees and their inner systems slow down, trees are still supporting the ecosystem. The fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and provide the earth with food the trees need to grow. Insects hide themselves in their bark, finally becoming food for other wildlife looking for a place to make home. Their strong roots help to stop the winter snowwater from washing the earth away.
Right now, trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next period. During this time of the year, it feels like forests are just offering endless pleasure for free. And fall leaves are an everlasting remembrance that the growth with changes is beautiful.
28.(2.5分)What does “leaf-peeping” refer to?
A.A way taken by tourism leaders to protect trees.
B.A method of foreseeing when fall leaves will top out.
C.A form of tourism where people go to see fall leaves.
D.A research about the results of climate change on trees.
29.(2.5分)Why do people find fall leaves so special?
A.They help service ecosystems. B.They last only for a short time.
C.They bring change to daily life. D.They support the local economy.
30.(2.5分)What can we learn about trees in fall from paragraph 4?
A.They are easily harmed by bacteria.
B.They play a role in cut back snowfall.
C.They stop rooting because of cold weather.
D.They continue providing protection for wildlife.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Lesson from Trees: Welcoming Changes B.Climate Changes in the Season of Fall
C.Trees Supporting the Ecosystem D.Fall Leaves Tourism in the US
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.D 31.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍美国“赏叶”旅游及其经济价值,还阐述秋叶的特殊性、树木在秋季对生态的作用,并借树木换季传递拥抱变化的道理。
【详解】28.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“What’s now known as “leaf-peeping” has become a form of tourism in the United States that brings in much money. A research shows that across 24 states in the eastern half of the country, fall-leaf tourism adds more than $30 billion to local economies.(如今被称为“赏叶”的活动已成为美国的一种旅游形式,能带来可观收入。一项研究显示,在美国东半部的24个州,秋叶旅游为当地经济贡献了超过300亿美元。)”可知,“leaf-peeping”指人们去观赏秋叶的一种旅游形式。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Perhaps part of what makes the fall leaves so special is the belief that it’s short-term.(或许秋叶之所以如此特别,部分原因在于人们认为它的存在是短暂的。)”可知,人们觉得秋叶特别,是因为它们只存在很短的时间。故选B项。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Insects hide themselves in their bark, finally becoming food for other wildlife looking for a place to make home. Their strong roots help to stop the winter snow water from washing the earth away.(昆虫会躲在树皮里,最终成为其他寻找栖息地的野生动物的食物。它们粗壮的根系有助于防止冬季的雪水冲走土壤。)”可知,树木在秋季仍继续为野生动物提供保护。故选D项。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Thankfully, nature recalls us that entering a new season in our life is nothing to fear but something to enjoy. (幸运的是,大自然提醒我们,人生进入新阶段并非可怕之事,而是值得享受的过程。)”以及最后一段中的“And fall leaves are an everlasting remembrance that the growth with changes is beautiful.(而秋叶则是永恒的印记,提醒我们伴随变化的成长是美好的。)”可知,文章借树木换季、秋叶等内容,传递拥抱变化的道理,“来自树木的启示:拥抱变化”最适合作为本文标题。故选A项。
(本题10分)Thirty years ago, travel relied entirely on offline resources and manual arrangements (人工安排). Without smart devices, precise GPS or convenient online booking services, tourists could only plan trips with paper maps and traditional travel agencies, leaving little room for temporary changes or flexible adjustments. Today, rapid technological innovation, especially the booming development of AI and wearable devices, has completely revolutionized the whole travel experience, bringing travelers remarkable practical conveniences as well as some easily overlooked weak points.
The latest travel tech breakthrough comes from intelligent wearable translation devices. The 2025 upgraded AirPods, equipped with powerful offline AI translation functions, can serve as instant personal interpreters for global travelers anytime and anywhere. Compared with traditional translation tools that are slow and inaccurate, modern AI-powered devices feature extremely fast response speed and high translation accuracy, effectively breaking down the long-standing language barriers in cross-border travel. Meanwhile, mature VR technology allows tourists to preview hotel facilities and scenic landscapes in advance, greatly reducing travel uncertainty and avoiding unexpected troubles during trips.
AI also systematically optimizes (使最优化) the whole travel arrangements and service system. Nearly half of European travelers turn to AI tools to design personalized travel routes, while airlines and hotels flexibly apply AI to adjust services and prices based on real-time demand. Airports adopt 3D scanners and facial recognition systems to simplify security checks, removing liquid and laptop inspection rules and greatly streamlining (精简) travel procedures. However, the rapid tech boom has triggered unavoidable new problems. Viral scenic spots promoted by social media suffer from severe over-tourism, disturbing local residents’ lives and damaging fragile local ecosystems.
Besides, excessive dependence on intelligent technology causes widespread tech tiredness and weakens face-to-face human interaction during travel. Online bookings and automatic services make in-person communication increasingly rare. Industry experts note that modern travelers are becoming sensible and selective about tech use. The future of travel tech lies in targeted, purposeful application that improves travel experience rather than distracting travelers. Ultimately, balanced and inclusive tech use will lead the new stage of global travel development.
32.(2.5分)What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.Modern travel technology brings great convenience to tourists only.
B.Traditional travel agencies have disappeared because of online services.
C.Travelers nowadays fail to make any flexible changes to their journeys.
D.AI and wearable devices have greatly changed people’s way of travelling.
33.(2.5分)What can we infer about VR tech for travelers?
A.It limits their options. B.It reduces their doubts.
C.It cuts their travel costs. D.It replaces their real trips.
34.(2.5分)What is a positive result of the travel tech boom?
A.More human contact. B.Lower tech demands.
C.Fewer tourist attractions. D.Faster travel security check process.
35.(2.5分)What is the core idea of future travel tech?
A.Selective tech use. B.Full tech coverage.
C.Blind tech upgrading. D.Complete tech rejection.
【答案】32.D 33.B 34.D 35.A
【导语】文章对比了过去与现在旅行方式的变化,重点讨论了智能翻译、VR、AI等技术为旅行带来的便利,同时也指出了过度依赖科技导致的过度旅游、科技疲劳等问题,并提出了未来科技应有针对性地应用的观点。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段“Thirty years ago, travel relied entirely on offline resources and manual arrangements (人工安排). Without smart devices, precise GPS or convenient online booking services, tourists could only plan trips with paper maps and traditional travel agencies, leaving little room for temporary changes or flexible adjustments. Today, rapid technological innovation, especially the booming development of AI and wearable devices, has completely revolutionized the whole travel experience, bringing travelers remarkable practical conveniences as well as some easily overlooked weak points.(三十年前,旅行完全依赖线下资源和人工安排。没有智能设备、精准的GPS定位或便捷的在线预订服务,游客只能依靠纸质地图和传统旅行社来规划行程,临时变更或灵活调整的空间十分有限。如今,快速的技术创新,尤其是人工智能和可穿戴设备的迅猛发展,彻底改变了整个旅行体验,为旅行者带来了显著的实用便利,同时也暴露了一些容易被忽视的不足之处)”可知,人工智能和可穿戴设备极大地改变了人们的出行方式。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Meanwhile, mature VR technology allows tourists to preview hotel facilities and scenic landscapes in advance, greatly reducing travel uncertainty and avoiding unexpected troubles during trips.(与此同时,成熟的VR技术使游客能够提前预览酒店设施和风景景观,大幅降低旅行不确定性,避免旅途中的意外麻烦)”可知,VR技术减少了旅行的不确定性,即减少了疑虑。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Airports adopt 3D scanners and facial recognition systems to simplify security checks, removing liquid and laptop inspection rules and greatly streamlining (精简) travel procedures.(机场采用3D扫描仪和人脸识别系统来简化安检流程,取消了液体和笔记本电脑的检查规定,大幅精简了出行流程)”可知,旅行科技繁荣的一个积极结果是安检更快了。
35.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The future of travel tech lies in targeted, purposeful application that improves travel experience rather than distracting travelers.(旅行科技的未来在于有针对性的、有目的的应用,以提升旅行体验,而非分散旅客的注意力)”可知,未来旅行科技的核心理念是有选择性地使用科技。
(本题12.5分)Tourism is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, generating trillions in revenue (收入) annually and employing millions across the globe. 36(2.5分)
At its core, tourism is an economic engine. For countries rich in natural beauty, historical heritage, or unique culture, it becomes a primary source of foreign exchange. Tourists spend on accommodation, dining, transportation, and souvenirs, supporting local shops and restaurants.
37(2.5分) Visitors immerse (陷入) themselves in local traditions, while hosts learn about global lifestyles. This cross-cultural interaction breaks down prejudices and promotes international friendship. Moreover, tourism often leads to better roads, airports and public services, which improve local people’s daily life as well.
Despite its advantages, unmanaged tourism brings serious problems. 38(2.5分) Forests are cut down for hotels; beaches and scenic spots are polluted by plastic waste; delicate ecosystems are damaged by too many visitors. Culturally, local customs may be over-commercialized and lose their real meaning. Socially, tourism can push up local prices and create conflicts between tourists and residents.
Sustainable tourism provides a practical solution. 39(2.5分) Governments can set limits on visitor numbers and protect natural areas. Hotels and restaurants should use non-polluting materials and save energy. For individual tourists, we can choose off-peak seasons, buy local products, and follow local rules. 40(2.5分) Only in this way can tourism continue to benefit the world without destroying the beauty and cultures we value.
A.Culture is another major highlight of tourism.
B.Its most direct effect shows in the local economy.
C.Small acts by tourists can make a huge difference.
D.People travel abroad to experience different lifestyles.
E.Many popular attractions are being damaged by over-tourism.
F.It also helps improve communication between different nations.
G.It means eco-friendly travel with consideration for local traditions.
【答案】36.B 37.A 38.E 39.G 40.C
【导语】文章主要说明了旅游业促进经济发展和文化交流,但过度旅游若缺乏管理,将损害环境和文化。可持续旅游需要政府、企业和个人游客共同努力,才能实现长期效益。
【详解】36.根据上文“Tourism is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, generating trillions in revenue (收入) annually and employing millions across the globe.(旅游业是全球规模最大、增长最快的行业之一,每年创造数万亿美元的收入,并在全球范围内为数百万人提供就业机会)”可知前文点明旅游业是全球规模大、增长快的产业,空后段落核心阐述旅游业作为经济引擎的作用,B选项“它最直接的影响体现在当地经济上”可总起该段内容,衔接自然。
37.根据后文“Visitors immerse (陷入) themselves in local traditions, while hosts learn about global lifestyles. This cross-cultural interaction breaks down prejudices and promotes international friendship. Moreover, tourism often leads to better roads, airports and public services, which improve local people’s daily life as well.(游客沉浸于当地传统,而主人则了解全球的生活方式。这种跨文化交流有助于消除偏见,促进国际友谊。此外,旅游业通常也会带来更好的道路、机场和公共服务,从而改善当地居民的日常生活)”可知,后文围绕跨文化交流、文化互动展开,A选项“文化是旅游业的另一大亮点”可引出本段文化相关的论述,契合段落逻辑。
38.根据上文“Despite its advantages, unmanaged tourism brings serious problems.(尽管旅游业有诸多优势,但缺乏管理的旅游也会带来严重问题)”以及后文“Forests are cut down for hotels; beaches and scenic spots are polluted by plastic waste; delicate ecosystems are damaged by too many visitors. Culturally, local customs may be over-commercialized and lose their real meaning. Socially, tourism can push up local prices and create conflicts between tourists and residents.(森林被砍伐用于建造酒店;海滩和风景名胜因塑料垃圾而污染;脆弱的生态系统因游客过多而受到破坏。在文化方面,当地习俗可能被过度商业化,失去其真正的意义。在社会层面,旅游业会推高本地物价,并引发游客与居民之间的矛盾)”可知,前文指出无序旅游会带来严重问题,后文列举了生态破坏等过度旅游的乱象,E选项“许多热门景点正因过度旅游遭到破坏”可承接前文总述问题,引出后文具体表现。
39.根据上文“Sustainable tourism provides a practical solution.(可持续旅游提供了一个切实可行的解决方案)”以及后文“Governments can set limits on visitor numbers and protect natural areas. Hotels and restaurants should use non-polluting materials and save energy. For individual tourists, we can choose off-peak seasons, buy local products, and follow local rules.(政府可以限制游客数量并保护自然区域。酒店和餐厅应使用无污染材料并节约能源。对于个人游客,可以选择非旅游旺季、购买本地产品,并遵守当地规定)”可知,前文引出可持续旅游是可行解决方案,后文分别从政府、商家、游客角度说明践行方式,G选项“它指的是兼顾当地传统的环保旅行”准确解释了可持续旅游的内涵,衔接上下文。
40.根据上文“Governments can set limits on visitor numbers and protect natural areas. Hotels and restaurants should use non-polluting materials and save energy. For individual tourists, we can choose off-peak seasons, buy local products, and follow local rules.(政府可以限制游客数量并保护自然区域。酒店和餐厅应使用无污染材料并节约能源。对于个人游客,可以选择非旅游旺季、购买本地产品,并遵守当地规定)”以及后文“Only in this way can tourism continue to benefit the world without destroying the beauty and cultures we value.(唯有如此,旅游业才能继续造福世界,而不会破坏我们所珍视的美景与文化)”可知,前文提到游客个人可以做出的旅行选择,C选项“游客的微小举动可以带来巨大影响”承接前文个人行为的表述,呼应后文共同让旅游业持续受益的总结。

Should We Make Detailed Travel Plans Before Trips?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文①
Should We Make Detailed Travel Plans Before Trips?
When it comes to traveling, I firmly believe it is necessary to make thorough travel plans before setting off.
To begin with, detailed preparations ensure our safety. We can look up local weather, transport and dangerous areas ahead of time to stay away from risks. Besides, learning about local traditions helps us behave politely and avoid cultural misunderstandings. Moreover, planning budgets and attractions saves plenty of time and money. Without detailed plans, we may waste hours finding hotels or getting tickets.
All in all, proper pre-trip research brings us a safer, smoother and more rewarding journey.
例文②
Should We Make Detailed Travel Plans Before Trips?
When it comes to traveling, I think there is no need to make thorough travel plans before travelling.
For one thing, over-detailed schedules take away the joy of surprise. If every hour is arranged, we will miss unexpected beautiful scenery or warm encounters with locals. For another, tight plans bring huge pressure. Travelling is meant to relax ourselves, not rush from one spot to another according to a rigid timetable. Too many detailed plans limit our freedom. We can wander freely, adjust our route anytime and feel the real charm of travelling.
In short, light preparation leaves room for wonderful random experiences.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I just finished the amazing four-day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu, and drunk on nature, was feeling perfectly confident. The clean Peruvian air still refreshed my lungs and the brain fog caused by my daily phone use hadn’t returned. The bad events that came next started once I turned my phone back on. Responding to a Twitter request for Peru tips, a stranger posted: “Try mountain biking down a volcano in Arequipa! ”
Those eight words changed everything. I quickly said goodbye to my biking friend and changed my flight. As someone who loves excitement, the idea seemed too good to miss. I’ve skydived, slid down sand hills, flown with parachutes, and leaped (跳) off New Zealand’s tallest tower. I share this not to boast, but to acknowledge a pattern in my life. Normal life always made me feel dull without regular adventures to make me feel alive. Riding down a volcano sounded like something I couldn’t let pass.
I had trouble finding a tour group that would take me alone, which should have been a warning, but I finally managed to find one. I began the two-hour journey up the volcano with my guide and driver. At 4, 200 meters, the volcano towers over the city. As the car moved over rocky bumps (隆起部分), a familiar mix of fear and excitement filled me—the feeling of being truly alive.
At the top, I put on the necessities and extra clothes. At first, going down the winding rocky path was wonderful. I sang Life by Des’ree as excitement rushed through me. My guide pointed out three rough shortcuts straight down the slope(斜坡). I said no to the first three as they looked too steep(陡峭的), but finally agreed to the fourth.
Suddenly the ground was almost at a 30-degree angle. I stopped singing. Fear shot through me. I yelled loudly. “Good job, Mr. Gary! ” My guide laughed as I made it down a steep part. “Remember, don’t brake on the slope. ”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The bike then went alarmingly fast.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
During my wrist injury recovery, I’ve reconsidered risky activities.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The bike then went alarmingly fast. I grew scared. I held off braking as far as possible. Seeing my guide waving wildly ahead to slow down, I braked hard and slid, dust flying everywhere. My back wheel lifted, throwing me over the handles. The bike landed on me. I felt a terrible pain in my wrist. Defeated, I asked my guide to call a covered vehicle to take me down. And I went to a clinic. My wrist was broken so badly that several months later it still isn’t fully healed.
During my wrist injury recovery, I’ve reconsidered risky activities. I now understand that short moments of excitement aren’t worth long recovery times. I’ve stopped dangerous sports like mountain biking and extreme climbing. A doctor recently has found I have attention problems, which explains my past risky choices. The thrill of “live for the moment” fades when you’re in a hospital with a huge bill. While I still enjoy safe adventures like camping, I’ve learned to value my health more than temporary thrills. This experience has changed how I see risk and responsibility. Sometimes planning for tomorrow is better than risking today.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者在完成四天令人惊叹的印加古道徒步旅行后,受到一个陌生人的建议,决定尝试在阿雷基帕的火山上下山骑自行车的故事。作者对冒险充满热情,不顾警告,坚持尝试这一危险活动,最终在骑行过程中受伤的经历。
【详解】1.段落续写:
