Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don't know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don't speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them.
Download a Language Translation App
Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you're not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.
Speak with Your Hands and Head
Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you're in. "Gestures are all universally understood, " he said.
Learn a Few Key Words
Knowing basic words and phrases like "hello""thank you" and "I'm sorry, I don't speak your language. Do you speak English " is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don't know more, is a form of respect and will make you go a long way to be liked by locals.
Work with a Local Travel Agent
If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you're heading to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination's languages can be incredibly useful.
Hire a Local Tour Guide
A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. "I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language, "he said.
22．In what situation should a language translation app be applied while traveling abroad
A．When you have trouble pronouncing the words.
B．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance.
C．When you want to practice the local language.
D．When you feel uncomfortable in the country.
23．What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text
A．Downloading a language translation app.
B．Learning a few key words.
C．Using body language.
D．Working with a guide.
24．How can you better understand the local language

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
25．考查细节理解。根据第一段”By the time the British adventurer Ash Dykes reached Chongqing 178 days after starting to trek (长途跋涉) along the Yangtze River from its source to the sea, the most difficult part of the journey was over. Dykes had completed about 2430 miles, and all he needed to do was to cover the next 1550 miles in 187 days or less to complete the whole journey.”当这位英国冒险家从长江入海源头跋涉178天后抵达重庆时，最艰难的旅程已经结束。Dykes已经完成了大约2430英里，他所需要做的就是在187天或更短的时间内完成接下来1550英里的行程。可知，Dykes在第一阶段的旅行中已经完成了2,430英里, 接下来他还得再完成1,550英里才能结束整个旅行, 故Dykes的旅程约3,980英里，路途很远，并不容易。青海是长江源头，从青海到重庆只是旅途的一部分。他还没有结束旅程，可能是一年或不到一年时间结束旅程。故选A。
26．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“However，because of the problems in preparations，Dykes arrived in Qinghai in late August.“然而，由于准备工作中的问题，Dykes于8月下旬抵达青海。可知, 由于准备工作方面的问题, Dykes没有按原计划那样夏天出发, 而是八月底才到达出发点。故选B。
27．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文讲述了英国冒险家Ash Dykes沿长江旅行的经历。”Dykes的长江之旅“适合做文章的标题，故选D。
