三、阅读理解
A（2021·湖州）
Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行)seem to be more interesting and
outgoing than your friends at home That's my experience, anyway. Very often, you’ll meet people
that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know. I've spent time with people of many countries
and have found out some interesting things about their cultures. It's a great way to learn more about
the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're travelling, and you'll be able to hang around with
them for a few days, until one of you leaves for the next exiting place. Relationships of this kind are
shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home, because you do so much together in that
short time. I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends. It is
safe, I think, because we probably won't meet again, except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs, so
your backpack isn't too heavy. I travel "light" these days. One good tip someone gave me is to take old
clothes and just throw them away when you move on, instead of washing and waiting for things to
dry. Many hostels(小旅社) don't provide shampoo and shower gel. You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to, and by using
local hops and guest houses, they help those places with much-needed financial((经济上的) support. Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time: so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area. Backpackers are also kinder to the environment, because they use trains and buses rather than cars. So, what are you waiting for

Have you heard about "Survival. Holidays" It is for children to go into a lonely place for exciting
activities. Now about 1, 100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without
their parents
The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for
children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games.
"Survival Holidays" gives them an important change.

which causes many problems. Children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even
something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with
danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still
remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

请认真阅读下面的短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。
Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he travelled across Europe and
Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Finally they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Although Marco was young, he was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.
Marco was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was impressed by Beijing and
the Emperors Palace, which he described as ''The greatest palace that ever was … The walls were covered in gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6, 000 people for dinner. "
There were inventions and developments in China which couldn't be found in Europe at that time.
Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid
for goods with gold or silver. He was also confused by the black stones people used to burn to produce
heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco had never seen coal before.
After 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco returned to Italy. He was then a very wealthy
man. A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World, which became one of the best-selling books in Europe.
Although people enjoyed reading the book, many of them thought that Marco's stories about
China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco always stood by his tales. Just before he died, aged 70, Marco was asked the question, "Was it all true " And this was his answer, "I have only told a half of what I saw! "
1. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
