21、Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”, if you will.
People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.
【1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A．To stress the negative influence of travel.
B．To describe the importance of cultural travel.
C．To recommend a totally different type of travel.
D．To convey his unique feelings about cultural travel.
【2】According to the author, today's travelers tend to_________.
A．establish close connections with the locals during the travel
B．choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration
C．show more interest in the history of a travel destination
D．post the photos taken in the journey on the social media
【3】What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel?
A．It is focused on studying local people's lifestyle.
B．Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.
C．It is a specific way to make judgments of other cultures.
D．Its major concern is preserving local traditions and customs.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A travel brochure.
B．A blog post.
C．A historic magazine.
D．An encyclopedia website.
22、Following tips from a tourist guide 15 years ago, Zhao Jiang went to Mahabalipuram, a town, that despite its architectural splendors, golden beach and performing arts, was strictly off the map for Chinese holiday-goers at the time. Then in October, came the news that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would have an informal summit at the same seaside resort in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
“I was happy that Tamil Nadu got the chance to host the summit and enjoy the spotlight, and I was proud that what I have learned and am working on has now become well-known,” Zhao, who heads the Tamil language service at China Radio International (CRI), said.
It has been an illuminating journey for Zhao. In the mid-1990s, when she went to study a foreign language at the Communication University of China, she chose her major more on a quirk.
“At that time, the university was offering Bangla, Nepali, Swahili and Tamil as foreign languages. I knew Bangla was spoken in Bangladesh, Nepali in Nepal and Swahili in Tanzania. But I had never heard of Tamil and I had no idea where it was spoken. So I signed up for this unheard-of language,” she said.
Today, she is an expert in Tamil, the predominant language in Tamil Nadu. It is also spoken in Sri Lanka ,Singapore and Malaysia. One of the oldest languages in the world with a history of about 2100 years, its script is formidable, leading to a noted Indian business tycoon calling it “the Great Wall of Tamil.”
【1】Why did Zhao Jiang go to Mahabalipuram 15 years ago?
A．Chinese tourists loved to go there.
B．Leaders often had meetings there.
C．Zhao Jiang loved the architecture there.
D．A tourist guide advised her to go there.
【2】What can we learn about Zhao Jiang’s job?
A．She hosts the import summit.
B．She charges the Tamil branch.
C．She works as a journalist.
D．She enjoys the spotlight.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “on a quirk” probably mean?
A．On occasions.
B．In advance.
C．By accident.
D．On purpose.
【4】What is called “the Great Wall of Tamil” by an Indian business man?
A．The oral form of Tamil language.
B．The long history of Tamil language.
C．The writing system of Tamil language.
D．The only expert on Tamil language.

24、 The woman was terrified. What could she do? She dialed 999.The emergency call operator (接线员) Robert Naylor answered the call immediately.
“Please help me! It’s in my bathroom!” the woman shouted.
Her voice suddenly got louder. “It’s moving!” she screamed.
“What is it that’s moving?” Robert asked calmly.
“A spider (蜘蛛)!” the woman yelled back at him.
Robert believes that a significant number of the calls he answers are not emergencies. The actual figure across the country is close to 75%.
Firstly, there are “silent calls”. The emergency number is dialed, but when an operator answers, no one actually speaks. Often it’s a small child or even a pet, who has been playing with a phone and has accidentally rung the emergency number. More commonly these days, they are pocket calls from mobile phones. “We sometimes hear some odd conversations!” Robert says. “But we have to listen to decide whether it’s a real emergency or not”.
Then there are “joke calls”, often from teenagers. An operator answers the phone and the caller immediately hangs up. Robert believes these are declining, as there are far fewer public payphones these days.” “People are less tempted to make a call when they’re doing it from their own mobile phone and they know we have their number!”
The police always follow up both types of call and there is often no other way than visiting the address where the call came from. It’s a huge waste of money; the average cost of responding a silent or joke call is around £250.
The vast majority of the non-emergency calls, though, are like those from the woman above.
A situation like this isn’t an emergency, at least not one that people like Robert are meant to be dealing with. But this example is far from the worst that people like Robert experience all over the world on a daily basis. What do you think of the following?
● A teenage girl in America called the police because her parents had decorated her room and she didn’t like the color.
● A mother in Italy rang the emergency services when her 16-year-old son refused to get out of bed.
● A Brazilian teenage boy rang and asked the police to remove a video of him from YouTube. In the video, the boy was falling of his bike. He told the police it was “really embarrassing”.
There are many other examples, from complaints about the wrong pizza delivery to people who want to know today’s date. And most of these are from adults. These calls waste more than time and money. “If someone makes a joke call and the police manage to find them, then they can expect a fine of up to £5,000 and, in some cases, a prison sentence, “warns Robert.” But for people whose emergencies aren’t really serious, we simply try to deal with their calls as quickly as possible,” he continues. “The person often quickly realizes their situation isn’t really an emergency and ends up apologizing for calling us. But if someone refuses to listen, then we have to hang up. Someone with a real emergency is probably waiting to speak to us.”
【1】The beginning of the passage ________.
A.starts a story B.introduces the topic
C.lists questions D.raises an argument
【2】What does the underlined word “declining” probably mean?
A.Losing importance. B.Turning worse.
C.Getting useless. D.Becoming less.
【3】Why are there so many non-emergency calls?
A.Operators give excellent service.
B.Callers do not take any responsibilities.

26、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 drove to Yosemite Valley, California, for the first time in years. This was the first time I’d traveled to the valley by myself. I connected with my friends and found out about Facelift, a project started by a rock climber, Ken Yager. The goal was to spend a week volunteering to clean up trash in Yosemite Valley.
Thankfully, Yosemite Valley only has one or two roads, so it was impossible for me to stay lost for long. I pulled into Yellow Pine, the campground set aside for volunteers at the event.
I felt shy and insecure as a new comer. When I found the Group camp area, I saw eight event coordinators (协调者) I’d been talking with recently but had never met. These were outdoor people. I found a campsite, parked, got out, and walked over and introduced myself. They were nice.
The week turned into a wonderful learning experience. Meeting new people was a bonus. A few became forever friends. But the nights were really hard! I was alone in my tent in the thick, black forest. There were absolutely no lights. I rarely slept. A ranger (护林员) warned us about recent bear activity in our campground. A mother bear and her cub had been spotted wandering around during the day. The ranger explained that bears with cubs are especially dangerous. Great information, I thought. What should I do with it? I knew, my fear doubled.
Each night, I wrapped the band of my headlamp around my wrist so I could instantly turn on its bright light. I placed a couple of metal pots by my sleeping bag to make noise if I heard anything. I lay awake most of the night staring at the tent door to see if it moved.
The week flew by. I enjoyed every part of it, except for the sleepless nights. My daughter Leah joined me on the last day. We would drive together back home.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
