一、阅读理解

I am not a morning
person, but as I stand on the boulder (巨大的砾石) in the early dawn, my mind
is sharp and alert. I
am
more than awake, concentrating on the vast endlessness below.
There is a
noticeable lack of early birdsong here; no hiss of offshore
wind fanning the waves. The only
sound is my breath, heavy after the scramble
to the top. It is by
no means a difficult climb, but I had
to
hurry to beat the sun.
"If you stand at the top of Kubu Island just before sunrise," said one of the returning
visitors, "You can see the arc (弧线)of the Earth."
He was right.
From up here the horizon
cuts not so much a line as an arc.
Soon my feeling of being in the moment is replaced
with something as strange
and ancient as this
place itself. My breathing
calms and becomes shallow. My heartbeat
slows. I am first surrounded by
in
silence. I am a tiny, shrinking
spot. Then I disappear completely.
They say that astronauts looking down on Earth gain a sense of perspective that changes them
forever. They begin to understand
how much we are a part of our planet,
and how much it
is
a part of us. The astronauts are 400 kilometres off the surface of Earth,
and while the top of Kubu Island
is only 10 metres high,
there is something about this pile of boulders
that sends you into orbit.
Kubu Island isn't actually an island,
but rather, an outcrop of ancient rocks that are up to two
billions year old. It was once rested
on the edge of a vast lake. As the water evaporated, it
created the huge Makgadikgadi Pan (马卡迪卡迪盐沼盆地), one of the world's largest salt pans.
Ancient tribes and civilizations have migrated
and lived here, first to fish
from its rocks and then to commune with nature and its spirits. Today, adventurers and tourists come here to marvel atthis strange pile of boulders with baobab trees (猴面包树) growing out of it.
These trees are estimated
to
be 3,000 or 4,000 years
old; they are really impressive not only for
their size but also because they seem to have so much to tell about the history of this island.
This is the gift that Kubu Isand gives and the power that it has. This tiny, weird outcrop — if not in the middle of nowhere, then certainly on the edge of it — can give you a sense of yourself that very few places can. A sense of yourself
as a
person on this planet and,
somehow, way beyond it.
1．Which of the following can best describe Kubu Island
A．It is a "small" island, surrounded by waves and water.
B．It is an "ancient" island, featuring recreational activities.
C．It is a "dry" island, surrounded by a sea of salt.
D．It is a "remote" island, resting on the edge of a vast lake.
2．According to the passage, the underlined phrase "marvel at" probably means __________.
A．feel anxious for B．pose danger to
C．be grateful to D．be amazed at
3．The author's purpose of writing this article was to _________.
A．recommend a unique travel route to a peaceful and silent island
B．encourage readers to reflect more on themselves while travelling
C．inform readers of a mysterious place that deserves to be explored
D．advise readers to visit an island which is peculiar in its original state

I like flying to a
foreign destination to visit the attractions during holidays, like millions of
people are doing nowadays. The world has an amazing variety of must-see sights,
from breathtaking natural scenery to impressive old cities, but too many of us
are visiting them at the same time is putting pressure on these delicate and
ancient places. Therefore, a number of beauty spots and historic sites have
been introducing charges or restrictions on the tourists, which is meant to
reduce overcrowding that can do harm to the surroundings of a place, protect
old buildings in danger, and tidy up the mess that visitors leave behind.
The famous Italian
city of Venice has, for example, introduced an entry fee of up to ?10 for
short-stay tourists. Citizens in Venice have long complained that the city is
too crowded with tourists. Now, passengers arriving by cruise ship will have to
pay a "landing tax". Mayor Luigi Brugnaro says, "It would
increase much-needed income to keep the city clean."
Many cities in Europe
have already charged a tax on tourists who stay in hotels and guest houses.
This tax raises money to help protect the environment, pay for maintenance(维修) costs, or promote tourism. In Rome, new laws have been introduced
to bring down bad tourist behaviour, such as forbidding drinking water from
fountains and attaching "love padlocks" to bridges. Now the rules
work well.
As more of us can now
afford to travel, tourist destinations are getting busier, so maybe new laws
and taxes on tourists are to be a necessary part of the sightseeing experience
and benefit the beautiful attractions a lot.
4．How does the author lead in the topic of the passage
A．By showing figures. B．By presenting facts.
C．By asking questions. D．By making comparison.
5．What causes the most damage to the ancient places according to the text
A．Overcrowding of tourists.
B．Lacking of maintenance.
C．Extra charges and restrictions.
D．Too much rubbish left by the tourists.
6．Who will have to pay the new "landing tax" when visiting Venice
A．Visitors staying in hotels for nights.
B．Visitors hoping to keep the city clean.
C．Visitors damaging the ancient walls.
D．Visitors arriving by cruise ship.
7．What is the author's attitude towards the new laws and taxes on tourists
A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned.
（2022高二下·岳阳期末）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Black
history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the
South. They're riding a wave of interest in African-American history that's made
a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History
and Culture in the nation's capital.
Attendance
at some large museums is decreasing. Twelve of the 20 biggest U.S. museums saw flat
or lower attendance from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, various activities involving
black history stand out.
In
Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes
the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved. Tubman escaped slavery and
later helped many others escape, too. The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors
its first year. However, it attracted 100,000.
History
professionals cite several factors for the phenomenon. The Black Lives Matter movement,
conflicts over Confederate monuments, protests by NFL players and last year's violence
in Charlottesville, Virginia, also have made a difference. These activities have
caused more Americans to consider how race affects them.
When
the national museum opened, "We thought that might have the impact of gaining
the public spotlight. Just the opposite," said Moore, president of Charleston,
South Carolina's International African American Museum. It has jump-started more
presentations of black history. "There
are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as
really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere."
States also are spending money to promote
civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website
detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South
Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a "Green Book"
mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina.
"Cultural
tourism, or heritage tourism, is one of the fastest growing markets in the country,"
said Jannie Harriot. She is the vice chairperson of the South Carolina commission."(But)
nothing that we do is limited to black people. Sometimes I think white people are
more interested in our history than we are."
8．Why does the author mention the example state-national park in paragraph 3
A．To reflect the development of the park.
B．To introduce the life of Tubman.
C．To present the attraction of large museums.
D．To show the increased interest in black history.
9．What is the Moore's attitude to the open of national museum
A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
10．What can we learn about civil rights tourism
A．An increased amount of money has mainly helped to preserve historic sites.
B．Actions have been taken only by black people to promote civil rights tourism.
C．Efforts have been made to increase tourism and attention to historic sites.
D．Commission has done nothing to arouse the interest of black people in history.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A．Activities Involving Black History Standing Out.
B．Reasons for the Increased Interest in Black History.
C．The Increased Awareness of Preserving Black History.
D．Black History Tourism and Museums Attracting Attention.

"Welcome to the U. S. A.! Major
Credit cards accepted!"
By the millions they are coming no
longer the tired, the poor, the wretched mass longing for a better living.
These are the wealthy. "We don't have a budget," says a biologist
from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City's South
Street. "We just use our credit cards."
The U. S. has long been one of the
world's most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional.
First there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every comer of the
globe; then came the weakening of the U. S. dollar against major currencies.
Now the U. S. still the world's superpower, can also claim to be the world's
bargain electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Nobody
undersells America Bottom retail prices --anywhere from 30% to 70%
lower than those in Europe and Asia-have attracted some 47 million visitors,
who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994.
That's up from $74 billion the year
before.
True, not everyone comes just for
bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with
all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and U. S. television series.
But shopping in the U. S. A. is proving irresistible. Every week thousands
arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional
hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge has become as important as
watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellow Stone Park or sunbathing on a
beach in Florida.
The U. S. has come at last to
appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign
tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And
with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months,
the U. S. needs all the deposits it can pared with American tourists
abroad, visitors to the U. S. stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an
average of 12. 2 nights and $1624 a traveler versus the Americans' four nights
and $298.
12．From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her __________.
A．are not good at planning their expenditure
B．simply don't care how much they spend
C．are reluctant to carry cash with them
D．often spend more money than they can afford
13．The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that __________.
A．it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the U. S.
B．it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the U. S.
C．tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the U. S. dollar that year
D．tourists came to the U. S. for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year
14．By saying "nobody undersells America (Para. 3), the author means that __________.
A．no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products
B．nobody restrains the selling of American goods
C．nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities
D．no other country sells at a lower price than America
15．From the passage we can conclude that the U. S. has come to realize __________.
A．the weakening if the U. S. dollar can result in trade deficits
B．tourism can make great contributions to its economy
C．the lower the retail prices, the greater the profits
D．visitors to the U. S. are wealthier than U. S. tourists abroad

Among
many celebrated U. S. places for very cool sunsets, here are notable favorites.
California
Dreamin'
While
you are visiting California Dreamin', El Matador's eye-catching nightfall is a
worthy way to lead you into deep thought. It is about the sands of time. Pack a
basket of delicious food for a late-in-the-day picnic overlooking the Pacific
Ocean, via the Pacific Coast Highway. The sunset is a sweet dessert.
Grand
Canyon, Arizona
The
1,218,375-acre Grand Canyon National Park is wonderful. The canyon itself
stretches 277 miles. Its wildlife is also so abundant. You can go to the South
Rim of the canyon (大峡谷), which offers the
best sunset advantages. Sometimes, you can see deer running and eagles flying
with the sunset standing as the background. An unforgettable thrill: Grand
Canyon Floor Landing Helicopter Sunset Tour by Canyon Tours.
Florida
Serenity
Called
the River of Grass, Everglades National Park — South Florida's amazing 1.5-million-acre
wetland reserve — is quilted with coastal trees and grass. An especially chosen
sunset-watching site is near Mrazek Pond, approximately three miles north of
the Flamingo Visitor Center. This is a birder's (观鸟者)
dream place, too, home to more than 360 species.
Hawaii
Aloha
Haleakala
Crater in Hawaii Aloha, a vast dormant (休眠期的)
volcano 10,023 feet above sea level, is famous for its sunrises — so that dawn
sun-seekers climb the volcano in the middle of the night to make the long drive
up a winding road to the summit. But Haleakala's sunsets are just as amazing.
Since fewer people arrive late in the day, a more personal sunset participation
is possible. Consider a private or group sunset hike to appreciate the Pacific
Ocean. It is worthwhile.
16．What can visitors do in Grand Canyon
A．Visit the wetland reserve. B．Have an unforgettable picnic.
C．Appreciate the sunset by tour bus. D．See eagles flying over the canyon.
17．Where is a good place for bird-watching
A．Hawaii Aloha. B．Florida Serenity.
C．California Dreamin'. D．Grand Canyon, Arizona.
18．What do California Dreamin' and Hawaii Aloha have in common
A．They both supply a sweet dessert.
B．They both allow a more personal sunset hike.
C．They both offer the views of the Pacific Ocean.
D．They both have wonderful sunsets and sunrises.

Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them，but that's nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized(净化过的)and unreal, entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.
The best way to experience any destination is on foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route—the museums, the monuments, the city hall—but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you're visiting.
"But what if I get lost " people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or a bus passes with the words "Central Station" on its front and you can easily return to the center of town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully, your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels：
Know before you go. Before you depart, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better understand the place you're visiting.
Move around like a local. Use the local subways, trams and buses. You'll not only save money, but also learn how people live there, and you'll gain a realistic perspective of the city.
Check the bulletin board. Bulletin boards list free lectures, concerts, workshops and social gatherings, giving you a chance to join or meet the area's most dynamic residents.
Take a walking tour. If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard, inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.
So, the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you'll remember fondly.
19．What does the author think of a bus tour
A． It is reasonable.
B．It is fast.
C．You can't be exposed to the outside world.
D．It is noisy.
20．What does the underlined word in Para. 2 mean
A．A guidebook for travelers. B．A car.
C．A bag. D．Something to eat.
21．Why is traveling on foot one of the best choices to experience the city
A．Because you can buy anything you like.
B．Because you can get to the same destination as the bus tour.
C．Because you can experience the real life in person.
D．Because you can go to museums and city halls where the bus doesn't get.
22．What's the main idea of this passage
A．How to avoid getting lost.
B．How to make the most of your travel.
C．Bus tour is not as good as we think.
D．How to travel on a budget.

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week Festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
27．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
28．Antigua is an island ________.
A．where people can enjoy cultural festival
B．where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C．that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
D．that is famous for its tour companies
29．Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________.
A．walk directly to the active summit
B．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
30．Many tours are timed for people to ________.
A．get down the mountain in time when night falls
B．avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D．appreciate the scenery of the 2,560-metre-high mountain
31．In which part of a magazine can we probably read this text
A．Health. B．Sports. C．Technology. D．Tourism.

Whether you're travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveler spot even before Leonardo di Caprio's character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where Bangkok people eat, work and live every day. It's not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi - if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams--but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!
32．What is special about Phra Kanong
A．Its convenience for tourists. B．Its real Thai lifestyle.
C．Its live snake show. D．Its appearance in a famous movie.
33．Which may be the best transport to explore the modern area of Bangkok
A．An express boat. B．A longtail boat.
C．A normal taxi. D．The Skytrain.
34．Where can the text be found
A．In a travel brochure. B．In a business newspaper.
C．In a geography textbook. D．In a family magazine.

Travelers in America who want to experience the Wild West can now go on holiday in the old style to see how the American pioneers traveled and lived.
Today's travelers go by horse wagons like the old time. They set up camp at night under the stars and learn to cook their meals over fires. They also learn to lead herds of cattle with present-day cowboys and try to bring wild horses into a corral (畜栏). For those who just want to pretend halfway, the special holidays offer the chance to "rough it" during the day in the wagons but sleep at night in the comfort of fan air-conditioned ranch (牧场) complete with the swimming pool, the sauna and tennis courts.
In Wyoming the holiday makers will travel by wagon past ghost towns and cemeteries where pioneers and wild cowboys were buried. The route goes along the same track as the Pony Express riders who braved attacks from Indians and robbers to get the mail through to the Wild West. High Island Ranch in Wyoming at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is also an ideal place to go trout fishing and to ride wild horses. In Colorado, the modern-day pioneers can stay at Randy George's ranch and try their hand at breaking in horses and branding (给……打上烙印) cattle. In New Mexico there will be a chance to help in driving cattle to their new summer pastures (牧场). Trips last for a week so those taking part get a chance to have a feel for the Wild West as it really was.
35．What is the author's purpose by writing the passage
A．To tell people some trips where people can experience the Wild West.
B．To tell the readers what they should prepare for special holidays.
C．To reveal the real life of the Wild West in the old time.
D．To advertise the most popular tourist attractions in America.
36．What may the underlined "rough it" in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Make the travelers comfortable. B．Bring wild horses into a corral.
C．Travel everywhere in the wagons D．Live a hard and simple life.
37．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．People are not interested in how the pioneers traveled and lived.
B．It was difficult to post the mail to the Wild West in the old time.
C．Travelers will pass ghost towns to visit pioneers and wild cowboys.
D．The pioneers and wild cowboys in the old time led an easy life.
答案解析部分
【答案】1．C
2．D
3．C
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；旅游观光类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了作者站在库布岛顶部所看到的景象以及相关的介绍。
【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、词义猜测题和推理判断题，是一篇旅游类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
1．考查细节理解。根据第八段“Kubu Island isn't actually an island, but rather, an outcrop of ancient rocks that are up to two billions year old. It was once rested on the edge of a vast lake. As the water evaporated, it created the huge Makgadikgadi Pan (马卡迪卡迪盐沼盆地), one of the world's largest salt pans.”库布岛实际上并不是一个岛屿，而是一个长达 20 亿年的古老岩石的露头。它曾经停在一个广阔的湖边。随着水的蒸发，它形成了巨大的马卡迪卡迪盐沼地，这是世界上最大的盐田之一。可知，这是巨大的马卡迪卡迪盐沼地，这是世界上最大的盐田之一。故选C。
2．考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的“Today, adventurers and tourists come here to marvel at this strange pile of boulders with baobab trees (猴面包树) growing out of it. These trees are estimated to be 3,000 or 4,000 years old; they are really impressive not only for their size but also because they seem to have so much to tell about the history of this island.”冒险家和游客来到这里，惊叹于这堆长着猴面包树的奇怪巨石。这些树估计有 3,000 或 4,000 年的历史；它们确实令人印象深刻，不仅因为它们的大小，还因为它们似乎有很多关于这个岛屿的历史要讲述。可知，这些树因其尺寸和与岛屿相关的历史让人印象深刻。可推知，冒险家河和游客是被长着面包树的巨石感到惊叹。故选D。
3．考查推理判断。根据开篇作者站在库布岛顶部所看到的景象，以及最后一段中的“This is the gift that Kubu Isand gives and the power that it has. This tiny, weird outcrop can give you a sense of yourself that very few places can.”这是 Kubu Isand 给予的礼物和它所拥有的力量。这个微小的、奇怪的露头可以给你一种很少有地方能做到的自我感觉。可知，作者给读者介绍这个神秘的岛屿并鼓励大家去探索。故选C。
【答案】4．B
5．A
6．D
7．C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；旅游观光类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，因为太多人同时参观景点，给这些精致而古老的地方带来了压力，因此，一些景点和历史遗迹都对游客实施收费或限制，以减少对周围环境造成破坏的过度拥挤，保护危楼，以及清理游客留下的烂摊子。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇旅游类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
4．考查推理判断。根据第一段“I like flying to a foreign destination to visit the attractions during holidays, like millions of people are doing nowadays. The world has an amazing variety of must-see sights, from breathtaking natural scenery to impressive old cities, but too many of us are visiting them at the same time is putting pressure on these delicate and ancient places. Therefore, a number of beauty spots and historic sites have been introducing charges or restrictions on the tourists, which is meant to reduce overcrowding that can do harm to the surroundings of a place, protect old buildings in danger, and tidy up the mess that visitors leave behind.”我喜欢在假期飞到国外的目的地去参观景点，就像现在成千上万的人做的那样。世界上有各种各样令人惊叹的必看景点，从令人惊叹的自然风光到令人印象深刻的古老城市，但是我们中的太多人同时参观它们给这些精致而古老的地方带来了压力。因此，一些景点和历史遗迹都对游客实施收费或限制，以减少对周围环境造成破坏的过度拥挤，保护危楼，以及清理游客留下的烂摊子；以及第二段“The famous Italian city of Venice has, for example, introduced an entry fee of up to ?10 for short-stay tourists. Citizens in Venice have long complained that the city is too crowded with tourists. Now, passengers arriving by cruise ship will have to pay a ‘landing tax’. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro says, ‘It would increase much-needed income to keep the city clean.’”例如，意大利著名城市威尼斯对短期游客实行高达10美元的入场费。长期以来，威尼斯市民一直抱怨这座城市游客太多。现在，乘坐游轮到达的乘客必须缴纳“着陆税”。市长 Luigi Brugnaro 说，“这将增加急需的收入，以保持城市清洁。”可知，这篇文章主要介绍因为太多人同时参观景点，给这些精致而古老的地方带来了压力，因此，一些景点和历史遗迹都对游客实施收费或限制。作者在第二段利用实际例子来引出这篇文章的主题。故选B。
5．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“but too many of us are visiting them at the same time is putting pressure on these delicate and ancient places.”但是我们中的太多人同时参观它们给这些精致而古老的地方带来了压力。可知，太多人同时参观这些景点给它们带来了很多的压力和破坏。故选A。
6．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Now, passengers arriving by cruise ship will have to pay a ‘landing tax’.”现在，乘坐游轮到达的乘客必须缴纳“着陆税”。可知，在威尼斯，乘坐游轮到达的乘客必须缴纳“着陆税”。故选D。
7．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“As more of us can now afford to travel, tourist destinations are getting busier, so maybe new laws and taxes on tourists are to be a necessary part of the sightseeing experience and benefit the beautiful attractions a lot.”随着我们越来越多的人能够负担得起旅游，旅游目的地变得越来越繁忙，因此，也许新的法律和对游客征税将成为观光体验的一个必要组成部分，并使美丽的景点受益匪浅。可知，作者对新的法律和旅游税的实施持支持的态度。故选C。

I am not a morning
person, but as I stand on the boulder (巨大的砾石) in the early dawn, my mind
is sharp and alert. I
am
more than awake, concentrating on the vast endlessness below.
There is a
noticeable lack of early birdsong here; no hiss of offshore
wind fanning the waves. The only
sound is my breath, heavy after the scramble
to the top. It is by
no means a difficult climb, but I had
to
hurry to beat the sun.
"If you stand at the top of Kubu Island just before sunrise," said one of the returning
visitors, "You can see the arc (弧线)of the Earth."
He was right.
From up here the horizon
cuts not so much a line as an arc.
Soon my feeling of being in the moment is replaced
with something as strange
and ancient as this
place itself. My breathing
calms and becomes shallow. My heartbeat
slows. I am first surrounded by
in
silence. I am a tiny, shrinking
spot. Then I disappear completely.
They say that astronauts looking down on Earth gain a sense of perspective that changes them
forever. They begin to understand
how much we are a part of our planet,
and how much it
is
a part of us. The astronauts are 400 kilometres off the surface of Earth,
and while the top of Kubu Island
is only 10 metres high,
there is something about this pile of boulders
that sends you into orbit.
Kubu Island isn't actually an island,
but rather, an outcrop of ancient rocks that are up to two
billions year old. It was once rested
on the edge of a vast lake. As the water evaporated, it
created the huge Makgadikgadi Pan (马卡迪卡迪盐沼盆地), one of the world's largest salt pans.
Ancient tribes and civilizations have migrated
and lived here, first to fish
from its rocks and then to commune with nature and its spirits. Today, adventurers and tourists come here to marvel atthis strange pile of boulders with baobab trees (猴面包树) growing out of it.
These trees are estimated
to
be 3,000 or 4,000 years
old; they are really impressive not only for
their size but also because they seem to have so much to tell about the history of this island.
This is the gift that Kubu Isand gives and the power that it has. This tiny, weird outcrop — if not in the middle of nowhere, then certainly on the edge of it — can give you a sense of yourself that very few places can. A sense of yourself
as a
person on this planet and,
somehow, way beyond it.
1．Which of the following can best describe Kubu Island
A．It is a "small" island, surrounded by waves and water.
B．It is an "ancient" island, featuring recreational activities.
C．It is a "dry" island, surrounded by a sea of salt.
D．It is a "remote" island, resting on the edge of a vast lake.
2．According to the passage, the underlined phrase "marvel at" probably means __________.
A．feel anxious for B．pose danger to
C．be grateful to D．be amazed at
3．The author's purpose of writing this article was to _________.
A．recommend a unique travel route to a peaceful and silent island
B．encourage readers to reflect more on themselves while travelling
C．inform readers of a mysterious place that deserves to be explored
D．advise readers to visit an island which is peculiar in its original state

2．考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的“Today, adventurers and tourists come here to marvel at this strange pile of boulders with baobab trees (猴面包树) growing out of it. These trees are estimated to be 3,000 or 4,000 years old; they are really impressive not only for their size but also because they seem to have so much to tell about the history of this island.”冒险家和游客来到这里，惊叹于这堆长着猴面包树的奇怪巨石。这些树估计有 3,000 或 4,000 年的历史；它们确实令人印象深刻，不仅因为它们的大小，还因为它们似乎有很多关于这个岛屿的历史要讲述。可知，这些树因其尺寸和与岛屿相关的历史让人印象深刻。可推知，冒险家河和游客是被长着面包树的巨石感到惊叹。故选D。
3．考查推理判断。根据开篇作者站在库布岛顶部所看到的景象，以及最后一段中的“This is the gift that Kubu Isand gives and the power that it has. This tiny, weird outcrop can give you a sense of yourself that very few places can.”这是 Kubu Isand 给予的礼物和它所拥有的力量。这个微小的、奇怪的露头可以给你一种很少有地方能做到的自我感觉。可知，作者给读者介绍这个神秘的岛屿并鼓励大家去探索。故选C。
（2022高三上·柳州期末）阅读理解
I like flying to a
foreign destination to visit the attractions during holidays, like millions of
people are doing nowadays. The world has an amazing variety of must-see sights,
from breathtaking natural scenery to impressive old cities, but too many of us
are visiting them at the same time is putting pressure on these delicate and
ancient places. Therefore, a number of beauty spots and historic sites have
been introducing charges or restrictions on the tourists, which is meant to
reduce overcrowding that can do harm to the surroundings of a place, protect
old buildings in danger, and tidy up the mess that visitors leave behind.
The famous Italian
city of Venice has, for example, introduced an entry fee of up to ?10 for
short-stay tourists. Citizens in Venice have long complained that the city is
too crowded with tourists. Now, passengers arriving by cruise ship will have to
pay a "landing tax". Mayor Luigi Brugnaro says, "It would
increase much-needed income to keep the city clean."
Many cities in Europe
have already charged a tax on tourists who stay in hotels and guest houses.
This tax raises money to help protect the environment, pay for maintenance(维修) costs, or promote tourism. In Rome, new laws have been introduced
to bring down bad tourist behaviour, such as forbidding drinking water from
fountains and attaching "love padlocks" to bridges. Now the rules
work well.
As more of us can now
afford to travel, tourist destinations are getting busier, so maybe new laws
and taxes on tourists are to be a necessary part of the sightseeing experience
and benefit the beautiful attractions a lot.
4．How does the author lead in the topic of the passage
A．By showing figures. B．By presenting facts.
C．By asking questions. D．By making comparison.
5．What causes the most damage to the ancient places according to the text
A．Overcrowding of tourists.
B．Lacking of maintenance.
C．Extra charges and restrictions.
D．Too much rubbish left by the tourists.
6．Who will have to pay the new "landing tax" when visiting Venice
A．Visitors staying in hotels for nights.
B．Visitors hoping to keep the city clean.
C．Visitors damaging the ancient walls.
D．Visitors arriving by cruise ship.
7．What is the author's attitude towards the new laws and taxes on tourists
A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Supportive. D．Unconcerned.

South. They're riding a wave of interest in African-American history that's made
a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History
and Culture in the nation's capital.
Attendance
at some large museums is decreasing. Twelve of the 20 biggest U.S. museums saw flat
or lower attendance from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, various activities involving
black history stand out.
In
Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes
the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved. Tubman escaped slavery and
later helped many others escape, too. The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors
its first year. However, it attracted 100,000.
History
professionals cite several factors for the phenomenon. The Black Lives Matter movement,
conflicts over Confederate monuments, protests by NFL players and last year's violence
in Charlottesville, Virginia, also have made a difference. These activities have
caused more Americans to consider how race affects them.
When
the national museum opened, "We thought that might have the impact of gaining
the public spotlight. Just the opposite," said Moore, president of Charleston,
South Carolina's International African American Museum. It has jump-started more
presentations of black history. "There
are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as
really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere."
States also are spending money to promote
civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website
detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South
Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a "Green Book"
mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina.
"Cultural
tourism, or heritage tourism, is one of the fastest growing markets in the country,"
said Jannie Harriot. She is the vice chairperson of the South Carolina commission."(But)
nothing that we do is limited to black people. Sometimes I think white people are
more interested in our history than we are."
8．Why does the author mention the example state-national park in paragraph 3
A．To reflect the development of the park.
B．To introduce the life of Tubman.
C．To present the attraction of large museums.
D．To show the increased interest in black history.
9．What is the Moore's attitude to the open of national museum
A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
10．What can we learn about civil rights tourism
A．An increased amount of money has mainly helped to preserve historic sites.
B．Actions have been taken only by black people to promote civil rights tourism.
C．Efforts have been made to increase tourism and attention to historic sites.
D．Commission has done nothing to arouse the interest of black people in history.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A．Activities Involving Black History Standing Out.

D．Black History Tourism and Museums Attracting Attention.

8．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“In Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved.”在马里兰州的Church Creek，一座占地17英亩的1岁州立公园纪念哈里特·塔布曼出生和奴役的地方；”以及“The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors its first year. However, it attracted 100,000. ” 公园第一年预计将吸引75000名游客。然而，它吸引了10万人。可知，作者举例子是为了说明人们对黑人历史关注热度持续上升。故选D。
9．考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段中的“We thought that might have the impact of gaining the public spotlight. Just the opposite”我们认为这可能会引起公众的关注。恰恰相反；以及“ It has jump-started more presentations of black history.”它开始了更多关于黑人历史的介绍；和“There are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere.”到处都是艺术博物馆，到处都是历史博物馆。我认为到处都会有非裔美国人的博物馆，这真的很健康。可知，Moore支持国家博物馆关于黑人历史的介绍。故选A。
10．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段“States also are spending money to promote civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a ‘Green Book’ mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina.” 各州也在花钱促进民权旅游。1月份，14家南部州旅游机构推出了一个网站，详细介绍了他们所称的“美国民权之路”的停靠点。南卡罗来纳州非裔美国人遗产委员会去年开发了一款“绿皮书”移动应用程序。它包括南卡罗来纳州300处历史悠久的非裔美国人遗址。可知，各地都在努力地推广旅游业和对历史遗址的关注。故选C。
11．考查主旨大意。根据第一段“Black history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the South. They're riding a wave of interest in African-American history that's made a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation's capital.”黑人历史博物馆和历史遗迹在整个南方正在蓬勃发展。乘着对非裔美国人历史的兴趣浪潮，在首都成立两年的非裔美国人历史和文化国家博物馆取得了惊人的成功。以及下文内容可知，这篇文章主要讲述具有吸引力的黑人历史博物馆和历史遗址.“黑人历史旅游和博物馆吸引了关注。”为最佳标题。故选D。

"Welcome to the U. S. A.! Major
Credit cards accepted!"
By the millions they are coming no
longer the tired, the poor, the wretched mass longing for a better living.
These are the wealthy. "We don't have a budget," says a biologist
from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City's South
Street. "We just use our credit cards."
The U. S. has long been one of the
world's most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional.
First there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every comer of the
globe; then came the weakening of the U. S. dollar against major currencies.
Now the U. S. still the world's superpower, can also claim to be the world's
bargain electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Nobody
undersells America Bottom retail prices --anywhere from 30% to 70%
lower than those in Europe and Asia-have attracted some 47 million visitors,
who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994.
That's up from $74 billion the year
before.
True, not everyone comes just for
bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with
all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and U. S. television series.
But shopping in the U. S. A. is proving irresistible. Every week thousands
arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional
hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge has become as important as
watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellow Stone Park or sunbathing on a
beach in Florida.
The U. S. has come at last to
appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign
tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And
with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months,
the U. S. needs all the deposits it can pared with American tourists
abroad, visitors to the U. S. stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an
average of 12. 2 nights and $1624 a traveler versus the Americans' four nights
and $298.
12．From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her __________.
A．are not good at planning their expenditure
B．simply don't care how much they spend
C．are reluctant to carry cash with them
D．often spend more money than they can afford
13．The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that __________.
A．it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the U. S.
B．it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the U. S.
C．tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the U. S. dollar that year
D．tourists came to the U. S. for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year
14．By saying "nobody undersells America (Para. 3), the author means that __________.
A．no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products
B．nobody restrains the selling of American goods
C．nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities
D．no other country sells at a lower price than America
15．From the passage we can conclude that the U. S. has come to realize __________.
A．the weakening if the U. S. dollar can result in trade deficits
B．tourism can make great contributions to its economy
C．the lower the retail prices, the greater the profits
D．visitors to the U. S. are wealthier than U. S. tourists abroad

【知识点】推理判断题；旅游观光类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍美国旅游业繁荣的发展情况。
【点评】本题考点涉及句义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇旅游类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“These are the wealthy. ‘We don't have a budget,’ says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City's South Street. ‘We just use our credit cards.’”这都是富人。“我们没做预算。我们只用信用卡。”一位来自巴西的生物学家说，她和两个同伴穿过纽约市南街。可知，来这儿的都是富人，而且这位来自巴西的生物学家说她们没做预算，只用信用卡，说明像她这样的游客并不在意在这儿的开销。故选B。
13．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“First there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies.”首先，1994年美国举办了世界杯，吸引了世界各地的人去观看；然后是美元对主要货币的疲软。可知，1994年美国举办了世界杯这一世界级赛事，而且美元疲软，利于在美国消费，这两大因素都能吸引众多游客来到美国，可推知，1994年尤为特别是因为那年游客数量异常庞大。故选B。
14．考查句义猜测。根据第三段中的“Bottom retail prices - anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia - have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994.”最低零售价格——比亚欧国家零售价格低30%至70%——吸引了4700万游客，预计1994年游客会产生790亿美元的开销。可知，美国商品的零售价格比亚欧国家商品的零售价格要低得多，则商品竞争力更强，可推断，“Nobody undersells America.”是指没有哪个国家敢低估美国商品竞争力的。故选A。
15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The U.S. has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank.”美国终于开始领会到其他国家很久以前就认识到的东西：涌入大量的外国游客可能并不总是那么方便，但这的确把钱存入了银行。可知，外国游客的到访能够给美国带来财富，说明旅游业促进经济增长。故选B。

Among
many celebrated U. S. places for very cool sunsets, here are notable favorites.
California
Dreamin'
While
you are visiting California Dreamin', El Matador's eye-catching nightfall is a
worthy way to lead you into deep thought. It is about the sands of time. Pack a
basket of delicious food for a late-in-the-day picnic overlooking the Pacific
Ocean, via the Pacific Coast Highway. The sunset is a sweet dessert.
Grand
Canyon, Arizona
The
1,218,375-acre Grand Canyon National Park is wonderful. The canyon itself
stretches 277 miles. Its wildlife is also so abundant. You can go to the South
Rim of the canyon (大峡谷), which offers the
best sunset advantages. Sometimes, you can see deer running and eagles flying
with the sunset standing as the background. An unforgettable thrill: Grand
Canyon Floor Landing Helicopter Sunset Tour by Canyon Tours.
Florida
Serenity
Called
the River of Grass, Everglades National Park — South Florida's amazing 1.5-million-acre
wetland reserve — is quilted with coastal trees and grass. An especially chosen
sunset-watching site is near Mrazek Pond, approximately three miles north of
the Flamingo Visitor Center. This is a birder's (观鸟者)
dream place, too, home to more than 360 species.
Hawaii
Aloha
Haleakala
Crater in Hawaii Aloha, a vast dormant (休眠期的)
volcano 10,023 feet above sea level, is famous for its sunrises — so that dawn
sun-seekers climb the volcano in the middle of the night to make the long drive
up a winding road to the summit. But Haleakala's sunsets are just as amazing.
Since fewer people arrive late in the day, a more personal sunset participation
is possible. Consider a private or group sunset hike to appreciate the Pacific
Ocean. It is worthwhile.
16．What can visitors do in Grand Canyon
A．Visit the wetland reserve. B．Have an unforgettable picnic.
C．Appreciate the sunset by tour bus. D．See eagles flying over the canyon.
17．Where is a good place for bird-watching
A．Hawaii Aloha. B．Florida Serenity.
C．California Dreamin'. D．Grand Canyon, Arizona.
18．What do California Dreamin' and Hawaii Aloha have in common
A．They both supply a sweet dessert.
B．They both allow a more personal sunset hike.
C．They both offer the views of the Pacific Ocean.
D．They both have wonderful sunsets and sunrises.

Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them，but that's nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized(净化过的)and unreal, entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.
The best way to experience any destination is on foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route—the museums, the monuments, the city hall—but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you're visiting.
"But what if I get lost " people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or a bus passes with the words "Central Station" on its front and you can easily return to the center of town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully, your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels：
Know before you go. Before you depart, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better understand the place you're visiting.
Move around like a local. Use the local subways, trams and buses. You'll not only save money, but also learn how people live there, and you'll gain a realistic perspective of the city.
Check the bulletin board. Bulletin boards list free lectures, concerts, workshops and social gatherings, giving you a chance to join or meet the area's most dynamic residents.
Take a walking tour. If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard, inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.
So, the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you'll remember fondly.
19．What does the author think of a bus tour
A． It is reasonable.
B．It is fast.
C．You can't be exposed to the outside world.
D．It is noisy.
20．What does the underlined word in Para. 2 mean
A．A guidebook for travelers. B．A car.
C．A bag. D．Something to eat.
21．Why is traveling on foot one of the best choices to experience the city
A．Because you can buy anything you like.
B．Because you can get to the same destination as the bus tour.
C．Because you can experience the real life in person.
D．Because you can go to museums and city halls where the bus doesn't get.
22．What's the main idea of this passage
A．How to avoid getting lost.
B．How to make the most of your travel.
C．Bus tour is not as good as we think.
D．How to travel on a budget.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
19．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized(净化过的)and unreal, entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside．”你在快速行驶的公共汽车里看到的东西是经过消毒的、不真实的，完全脱离了外面的真实景象、声音和气味。可知，乘坐公交车旅行无法接触到外面真实的世界，故选C。
20．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“ wandering where your spirit leads you ”随你的心灵指引你去哪里就去哪里。可知，是没有目的，随心漫步，也就是不按照导游书的旅游。可推知 itinerary是指“导游书”，故选A。
21．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“ but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you're visiting. ”但你将见证更多，因为你将感受到你所访问的城市的当代生活。可知，徒步旅行可以亲身感受当地人真实的生活状态，故选C。

（2022高二下·金台期中）阅读理解
Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week Festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
27．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
28．Antigua is an island ________.
A．where people can enjoy cultural festival
B．where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C．that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
D．that is famous for its tour companies
29．Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________.
A．walk directly to the active summit
B．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
30．Many tours are timed for people to ________.
A．get down the mountain in time when night falls
B．avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D．appreciate the scenery of the 2,560-metre-high mountain

Whether you're travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveler spot even before Leonardo di Caprio's character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where Bangkok people eat, work and live every day. It's not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi - if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams--but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.
What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!

（2022高二下·开化开学考）阅读理解
Travelers in America who want to experience the Wild West can now go on holiday in the old style to see how the American pioneers traveled and lived.
Today's travelers go by horse wagons like the old time. They set up camp at night under the stars and learn to cook their meals over fires. They also learn to lead herds of cattle with present-day cowboys and try to bring wild horses into a corral (畜栏). For those who just want to pretend halfway, the special holidays offer the chance to "rough it" during the day in the wagons but sleep at night in the comfort of fan air-conditioned ranch (牧场) complete with the swimming pool, the sauna and tennis courts.
In Wyoming the holiday makers will travel by wagon past ghost towns and cemeteries where pioneers and wild cowboys were buried. The route goes along the same track as the Pony Express riders who braved attacks from Indians and robbers to get the mail through to the Wild West. High Island Ranch in Wyoming at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is also an ideal place to go trout fishing and to ride wild horses. In Colorado, the modern-day pioneers can stay at Randy George's ranch and try their hand at breaking in horses and branding (给……打上烙印) cattle. In New Mexico there will be a chance to help in driving cattle to their new summer pastures (牧场). Trips last for a week so those taking part get a chance to have a feel for the Wild West as it really was.
35．What is the author's purpose by writing the passage
A．To tell people some trips where people can experience the Wild West.
B．To tell the readers what they should prepare for special holidays.
C．To reveal the real life of the Wild West in the old time.
D．To advertise the most popular tourist attractions in America.
36．What may the underlined "rough it" in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Make the travelers comfortable. B．Bring wild horses into a corral.
C．Travel everywhere in the wagons D．Live a hard and simple life.
37．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．People are not interested in how the pioneers traveled and lived.
B．It was difficult to post the mail to the Wild West in the old time.
C．Travelers will pass ghost towns to visit pioneers and wild cowboys.
D．The pioneers and wild cowboys in the old time led an easy life.

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；旅游观光类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们可以体验美国西部蛮荒的旅行。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇旅游类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
35．考查推理判断。根据第一段“ Travelers in America who want to experience the Wild West can now go on holiday in the old style to see how the American pioneers traveled and lived” 想要体验西部荒野的美国游客现在可以以旧式的方式去度假，看看美国拓荒者是如何旅行和生活的。可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一些人们可以体验的美国西部蛮荒的旅行。故选A。
36．考查词义猜测。 根据第二段中 的“For those who just want to pretend halfway, the special holidays offer the chance to rough it during the day in the wagons but sleep at night in the comfort of fan air-conditioned ranch complete with the swimming pool”对于那些只想假装半途而废的人来说，特殊的节日提供了一个机会，白天可以坐在马车里度过难关，但晚上可以睡在配有游泳池的风扇空调农场里 可知，but 的前后部分是转折关系，故划线词组"rough it"的意思应与后文的"comfort"相反，故选D。
37．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“ The route goes along the same track as the Pony Express riders who braved attacks from Indians and robbers to get the mail through to the Wild West.” 这条路线与小马快车的骑手沿着同一条轨道行驶，他们勇敢地面对来自印第安人和强盗的袭击，将邮件传递到荒野的西部。可推断出，在过去，把邮件送到蛮荒的西部并不容易。故选B。
