Germans have a word “wanderlust” which translated into English would be the desire to wander. Nowadays the opportunity to travel is endless. Thanks to low-cost airfares, travelling all over the world is very accessible and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own.
I have always had the feeling of wanderlust. As a young girl it started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden. With me growing up, I have a sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazilian wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles.
The thing with travelling is always different. Even if you go to the same country, to the same town and stay in the exact same rest house, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday horrors and stories that seem so suspect that you can hardly believe them until something ridiculous happens to you and you find yourself becoming one of those people telling your tales. Or maybe the difference is yourself.
When you travel, you are forced to be in harmony with a new culture. Whether it's eating a strange food, or staying with a family, where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand movements and smiles, the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again. And although wanderlust is originally a German word, the English idiom reflects a similar idea. Someone with that needs to leave or travel. This feeling to explore is found not only in language but in us.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过分享自己旅游的经历来传达旅游带来的益处。
1.Why is the Brazilian wetland mentioned in Paragraph 2
A.The author's garden lies near it.
B.It's similar to the author's hometown.
C.It's the desirable place for travel lovers.
D.The author intends to share her nature.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“With me growing up, I have a sense of adventure ... crocodiles.”可知,作者告诉读者她是一个喜欢冒险的人,巴西湿地是她曾经到过的地方,由此可知,她是在阐释自己喜欢冒险的天性。
2.What do we know from Paragraph 3
A.There are many ridiculous travel stories.
B.Travel can change the way people view things.
C.The author prefers to go to the same country.
D.It's interesting to know local culture and people.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“you can hardly believe them ... Or maybe the difference is yourself”可知,作者一开始觉得旅游途中听说的荒诞故事让人难以置信,但后来自己有了亲身经历,也成了这些讲故事的人之一,所以随着旅游经历的丰富,原有的对事物的看法会相应地发生变化。
3.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A.She feels the urge to take a tour once more.
B.The situation leaves her much discomfort.
C.Her feet feel too tired when she is abroad.
D.The experience makes her lose confidence.
√
解析:句意理解题。根据画线部分的上文可知,在旅游过程中你要融入新的文化环境、适应新的群体;画线句后面的“wanderlust ... Someone with that needs to leave or travel”表明,有itchy feet的人喜欢旅游,由此可知,本句表示“这样的经历给予作者再一次旅游的强烈渴望”。
4.In which section of a website can we read the text
A.Hobbies of the Germans.
B.Life around the world.
C.Fashion on the earth.
D.City tours and tips.
√
解析:文章出处题。通读全文可知,作者讲述了自己在各地旅游的经历和感受以及对旅游的渴望,这应属于“Life around the world”版块中的内容。

Kosciuszko National Park is a large national park in the province of New South Wales in southeast Australia. It covers 1.7 million acres (英亩) of the Australian Alps mountain chain, including the highest peak (山峰) in Australia, for which the park is named.
The landform in Kosciuszko National Park is highly different and is grouped into three main parts. The southernmost part is mostly made up of unshaped and dry land and is passed through by the famous Snowy River. The central part is Alpine natural scenery, much of it above the tree line, including the one and only landform features with plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. Many of the park's ski areas are located in this part. The northern part is mostly a highland area.
While this park is open to visitors with new roads reaching out in all directions to many areas, a large part of the park is designated as wilderness, with six separate wilderness areas. Some animals are so valuable that they were thought to die out until recently rediscovered. The Australian Alps parks system has tried hard to balance protection of the lands, plants, and animals against human use, and a very successful management program has allowed people to enjoy the scenery while protecting them.
Kosciuszko National Park offers a lot of outdoor activities to visitors. Hiking, camping, and skiing are among the most popular, but the lakes and rivers offer chances for swimming, fishing, and boating in the Snowy and Murray Rivers as well as several smaller rivers. Historic sites like the gold rush ghost town of Kiandra offer understanding of the area's history.
This area was home to the native Australian aboriginal (土著) people who lived in its lower part before. The higher mountain areas are too cold for humans to live in but were visited by these people during certain times of the year as part of spiritual activity.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚Kosciuszko国家公园的组成部分以及公园里的户外活动和景点。
5.What can we learn about the park from the passage
A.It features its size.
B.It is famous for its location.
C.Its name came from its highest peak.
D.It includes three main parks.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容可知,Kosciuszko国家公园是因为覆盖了澳大利亚最高山峰而被命名的,即它的名字来源于它的最高峰。
6.Where are plants and animals which are hard to find in the world
A.In the northern part.
B.In the eastern part.
C.In the central part.
D.In the southernmost part.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The central part ... in the world.”可知,世界上很难找到的动植物在它的中心部分。
√
7.What is the successful experience of Kosciuszko National Park
A.Making full use of its scenery.
B.Balancing environmental protection and human use.
C.Making the national park more and more beautiful.
D.Attracting a great number of visitors.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The Australian Alps parks system has tried hard ... while protecting them.”可知,Kosciuszko国家公园的成功经验是平衡保护土地、植物和动物与人类使用之间的关系,即平衡环境保护和人类的使用。
8.What does the writer mainly tell in the fourth paragraph
A.The use of the rivers and lakes.
B.The outdoor activities and attractions.
C.The things people like to do most.
D.The history of Kosciuszko National Park.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句和最后一句可知,第四段主要讲述了Kosciuszko国家公园能为游客提供的各种户外活动以及一些吸引人的景点。

The best trips with friends are the ones that are well-planned. Here are a few tips on planning an incredible trip with friends and making memories that last.
9 Someone might be looking to rest and relax on a beach, while another person might be looking to enjoy as much nightlife as possible. Figure out what everyone wants and find out what everyone's top three destinations are, and research places that have all of your common interests.
Nothing puts a damper on (使扫兴) vacation planning with friends than arguments over money. 10 Meeting at a friend's house or talking over dinner can reduce what can sometimes be an awkward discussion by group texts or emails. 11 When the major costs are out of the way, don't forget about smaller joint ( 共同的) expenses like taxis and tips.
It's fun to get lost in the excitement of booking things and crossing off your checklist of to-dos. 12 It's important to provide a window of opportunity for everyone to comfortably share their opinions and concerns about trip decisions.
Despite all the late-night planning and lunchtime meetings, some situations will be totally out of your hands. 13 Remind everyone not to focus narrowly on a few dollars, and whatever you do, don't ever let arguments get out of control.
A.Pick the right destination.
B.Book a cheap flight or hotel.
C.It's important to choose the right group of people.
D.You need to discuss big costs like flights and hotels at first.
E.When it comes to discussing money, talk about it face to face.
F.So lower your expectations a tiny bit when things don't go your way.
G.But don't forget to communicate with your friends to see if anyone has any worries.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了和朋友一起去旅行时应注意哪些方面。
9.选A 本句为本段的主旨句。根据下文中的“Figure out what everyone wants ... research places that have all of your common interests.”可知,作者在本段建议要弄清楚每个人的需求,然后选择合适的目的地。A项中的right destination与下文中的top three destinations和places that have all of your common interests相照应。
10.选E 根据上文中的“Nothing puts a damper on vacation planning with friends than arguments over money.”可知,作者在本段主要介绍的是如何处理好旅行花费。E项中的money与上文中的arguments over money相照应。
11.选D 下文中的“When the major costs are out of the way”与D项中的discuss big costs like flights and hotels at first相呼应,同时D项中的big costs也与下文中的smaller joint (共同的) expenses形成对比关系。
12.选G 根据下文中的“It's important to provide a window ... about trip decisions.”可知,作者在本段建议,在制订计划时要多与朋友们沟通交流。G项中的communicate with your friends和worries也分别与下文中的comfortably share和opinions and concerns相照应。
13.选F F项中的when things don't go your way与上文中的some situations will be totally out of your hands相照应,作者在本段主要说明再完美的旅行计划也会有不合适的地方,因此作者建议你不妨降低自己的预期。UNIT 5 课时检测(四) “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节
