一、阅读理解
A
[社会现象/2023重庆二测]Going against the tide of flocking（蜂拥） to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation， a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique， relaxing holiday experiences. Reverse tourism has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
Also， some vacationers chose less-travelled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations， which often require pricey tickets， meals and hotel stays. "Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences，" said Dai Bin， president of the China Tourism Academy. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travellers， they are increasingly unwilling to follow the herd. Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days， which is a good way to vacation.
In addition， lesser-known attractions are not as "commercial" and "standardized" as developed ones and are able to offer more genuine experiences and natural encounters， according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations， some under-explored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises. Besides， as precautionary measures continue， travelling has an unpredictable quality. A traveller has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure， be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak.
"The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing，" said an opinion piece in ZhengzhouDaily. It means that vacationers now have more options， which brings more possibilities to the tourism market， the article explains. More importantly， the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their achievements.
本文主要介绍了"逆向旅行"的现象和造成此现象的原因。
【词语积累】 go against违背 tend to往往会，倾向于 emerge v.出现 packed adj.异常拥挤的，挤满人的 interrupt v.打扰
1. What is the feature of reverse tourism according to the passage？
A. Popular destinations often raise their prices during holidays.
B. Less-travelled places offer more beautiful scenery.
C. Popular destinations are not welcomed by people nowadays.
D. Less-travelled places are increasingly valued among young people.
解析 D 细节理解题。由第一段的内容可知，在中国，越来越多的度假者倾向于把闲暇时间花在不太知名的度假胜地，以寻求独特、轻松的度假体验，这与人们在度假时蜂拥前往知名但普遍拥挤的旅游目的地的潮流相反。"逆向旅游"已成为中国年轻度假者中的一种新趋势。由此可知，"逆向旅游"的特点是游客较少的地方越来越受到年轻人的重视，故选D。
2. What does the underlined expression "follow the herd" in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Do just what most people do.
B. Be particular about vacations.
C. Behave like the best visitors.
D. Seek unique travel experiences.
解析 A 词义猜测题。由第二段最后一句"Some of them are simply looking... to vacation"可知，他们中的一些人只是想找个安静的地方休息几天，这是一个很好的度假方式。由此可知，画线短语所在句的意思是"随着人们变为更成熟的旅行者，他们越来越不愿意随波逐流"。画线短语的意思应是"跟随大多数人的做法"，故选A。
3. Why do people choose lesser-known attractions according to social media posts？
A. To create surprises on their own.
B. To explore original beauty.
C. To promote the local tourism.
D. To escape the uncertainty in life.
解析 B 细节理解题。由第三段的"In addition， lesser-known attractions...according tosocial media posts"可知，据一些社交媒体的帖子所说，不太知名的景点不像发达景点那样"商业化"和"标准化"，能够提供更多真实的体验和自然的邂逅。由此可知，本题选B。
4. What is the text mainly about？
A. The promising future of Chinese tourism.
B. The challenges popular tourist spots are facing.
C. The way to explore lesser-known attractions.
D. The reason why people prefer reverse tourism.
解析 D 主旨大意题。浏览全文可知，文章介绍了"逆向旅行"的现象，并重点分析了造成此现象的原因，D项与此相符。
B
Born in 1902， Harry Beck was an English engineering draftsman（制图员） who brought about a small revolution in the early 1930s when he created a completely new map of the London Underground.
Before Beck’s design， early maps were usually drawn to a geographically accurate scale（比例）. Map designers simply placed the subway lines on standard maps of the city streets. These maps clearly showed the subway lines that reached the areas outside the centre of London， but they made it difficult to make out the busy lines that joined directly under central London.
In the 1930s， Beck came up with a solution that would not take the geographical accuracy into account. He created a map that was a scaled-down linear diagram of the subway lines. More a basic outline of the lines than a true-to-life map， it didn’t tell travelers about how far it actually was between two points. Beck’s map had a clean structure with coloured lines. His idea was to create the plainest guide to show travellers how to get from one station to another.
It’s not clear what inspired him to start the project； he wasn’t asked to do it， but likely developed his design in his free time， while between jobs. It was more a presentation of his being inventive， in seeing a problem and coming up with an answer to it， than a response to public demand.
His design was then presented to the London Passenger Transport Board， whose members refused to accept it， feeling that not showing relative distances between stations was silly and unreasonable. Still， after a time， in order to increase subway ridership and therefore earn more money， the Board decided to print a limited number of copies. Gradually， Beck’s map became a huge success.
For most of his life， Beck continued to make small improvements to the diagram， but he kept its basic designs and ideas. His clear diagrammatic method of mapping has been generally accepted and followed in the field of information design not only in London but also around the world.
为了解决早期地铁线路图中存在的问题，Harry Beck绘制了更为实用的伦敦地铁线路图。
【词语积累】 make out辨认清楚，分清 linear adj.直线的，线状的 true-to-life adj.逼真的 plain adj.简单的；清楚的，明显的 ridership n.客流量 diagrammatic adj.图（式）的，图表的，图解的
【长难句解读】 His design was then presented to the London Passenger Transport Board，whose membersrefused to accept it， {feeling （that not showing relativedistances between
stations was silly and unreasonable）}.
译文：随后，他的设计被提交给了伦敦客运委员会，但该委员会的成员拒绝接受他的设计，他们认为不显示车站之间的相对距离愚蠢而且不合理。
1. What is the disadvantage of early subway maps？
A. They were not to scale.
B. They were hard to draw.
C. They were not user-friendly.
D. They were seldom updated.
解析 C 推理判断题。由第二段中的"but they made it difficult to make out the busy lines that joined directly under central London"可知，早期的地铁线路图使用起来不方便，故选C。
2. Which aspect of a subway map did Beck focus on？
A. Its simplicity. B. Its vivid details.
C. Its completeness. D. Its geographical accuracy.
解析 A 细节理解题。由第三段中的"More a basic outline of the lines than a true-to-life map"和"His idea was to create the plainest guide... from one station to another"可知，Beck注重的是地铁线路图的简明性，故选A。
3. What do we know about Beck’s map from paragraphs 4 and 5？
A. It was created accidentally.
B. It was an immediate success.
C. It was a reflection of his creativity.
D. It was designed to meet public needs.
解析 C 细节理解题。由第四段中的"It was more a presentation of his being inventive... a response to public demand"可知，本题选C。
4. How did Beck contribute to the world？
A. He changed the construction of subways.
B. He inspired designers to improve subway maps.
C. He made the first scaled-down linear map.
D. He provided a model for the design of subway maps.
解析 D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的"His clear diagrammatic method of mapping... but also around the world"可知，Beck的绘图方式被广泛接受和沿用。由此可推断，Beck为地铁线路图设计提供了一个范例，故选D。
二、七选五
[体育健康/2023长沙适应性考试]I’m a hiker — "born to hike".It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail（小路），especially when I am alone， and can let my mind wander where it will. 1 .
Hiking keeps your brain sharper than many other forms of exercise. As a professional writer， although I am busy with my work， I often spare some time to hike. 2 .
Hiking can increase our creativity. I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that walks in nature let your mind wander freely in creative directions. 3 . Sometimes， ideas relevant to music build up from unconscious places when I’m not deliberately thinking.
4 . Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress. But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that hiking can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world. Besides being good for us， hiking may also help the world around us. After all， if we stick to walking and covering longer distances， we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint. 5 . For example， it increases our connection to nature. As one study suggests， when we have a personal connection to nature， we are more likely to want to protect it. That means experiences in nature — like hiking — can be mutually（相互地）beneficial， helping people and the earth.
So， grab a water bottle，a backpack...and head out on the trail. You won’t be sorry you did that.
A. Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy
B. Besides that， hiking benefits our planet indirectly
C. The following are the benefits you can get from hiking
D. In fact， I’ve written many of my songs while hiking on a trail
E. It’s easy for me to come up with creative ideas while sitting alone
F. It not just makes me feel good， but also helps me keep the brain in top shape
G. This all goes to show that hiking may be one of the best ways to move your body
本文为说明文，主要介绍了徒步旅行的好处。
1.C C项（以下是你能从徒步旅行中得到的好处）承接上文，统领下文，放在此处能起到承上启下的作用。
2.F 第二段首句是该段的主题句，那么第二段讲述的是徒步旅行对大脑有好处，F项（徒步旅行不仅让我感觉良好，还能帮助我保持大脑处于最佳状态）与本段主题一致，F项中的brain对应本段第一句中的brain。
3.D D项中的written many of my songs与段落主题句中的creativity以及空后句子中的music相吻合。
4.A 结合第四段的内容，特别是段中的"decrease stress"和"give you the happiness"可知，A项符合语境，可用于充当段落的主题句。
5.B 空后的内容是针对"Besides that， hiking benefits our planet indirectly"列举的例子。
三、完形填空
