（2024八上·东城期中）The Girl No One Talked toLast year there was a girl at our school who hardly anyone talked to. I think it was because she seldom showered, and she kind of smelled bad. Her name was Cindy Lindbergh. I didn't know exactly where she 13． , but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.
One day, I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl making fun of her. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I saw how sad it made Cindy. As soon as I got close enough, I glared (怒视) at Carl to make him 14． laughing. But it didn't work. So I walked over and stood closer to Cindy to make sure she wouldn't feel quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
I didn't think she'd say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked up from staring at the ground and whispered, "Hi".
"Hi," I said. Then as 15． as I could, I said, "Don't pay any attention to Carl! His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners."
Some of the kids around us laughed after they heard what I had said. By now everyone there was talking with a friend. Quietly, and with a serious look on her face, Cindy said, "I don't know why everyone 16． me."
I was surprised at her words. "No one hates you," I told her.
"Then why don't I have any friends " she asked.
I thought for a moment. "Well," I began, wondering if I could tell her that maybe it was because she smelled so 17． , "I think you're smart, and you dress okay, and..."
"So then, what is it " she asked.
"Maybe it's because you..." I paused because I almost said "stink"(发出臭味) but instead, "don't smell so good."
She looked up, 18． my face as if checking to see if I was making fun of her or being mean. I guess she decided I wasn't. She nodded. I added, "I think you'd probably make more friends if you took more 19． ." She looked away. I worried that I might have gone too far.
Turning back to face me, Cindy took a deep breath and said, "Thank you." I was so relieved, and the next moment the bus arrived, and all the kids started getting on.
"If I 20． a seat for you on the bus tomorrow," she asked, "will you sit with me "
"Sure," I said.
I'm happy to report that Cindy did take more baths from that day on. And it wasn't too long before she started to make friends at school. I was one of them.
13．A．worked B．lived C．went D．waited
14．A．stop B．start C．practice D．enjoy

（2024八上·东城期中）The Winning Team
Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, "What's wrong, son " Peter's feelings were written all over his face. "I lost the game," Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.
"Look, Peter. I don't know what happened. But whatever it was, don't be too hard on yourself."
"I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again."
"Soccer is about team effort. You're not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other, besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes."
Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. "Hey, guys," he said to his teammates. "I'm really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we're going to win the next one."
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.
"Yeah," they said, "don't worry about it. It's never just one person's fault. We should think about how we can do better next time."
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.

五、C
（2024八上·东城期中）How do you feel about nature After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park I believe the answer must be "YES". We should walk into nature so that we can enjoy the natural beauties around.
Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a math test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.
The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can trigger (触发) positive feelings and a sense of peace. Being in nature can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people's everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Being close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, "forest schools" are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.
Nature holds a special kind of energy; it is pure and wild and spirit-renewing. In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.
27．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．A problem in the 21st century. B．How much time we spend outdoors.
C．Visiting your local parks. D．Feeling about nature.
28．What do the results of the studies chow
A．More and more Canadians will live near parks.
B．The math test is difficult and makes people nervous.
C．Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.
D．People's heart rates get slower in a 3D virtual reality room.
29．What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage
A．Nature is more important than cities.
B．Country life is healthier than city life.
C．People have lived in the cities for so long
D．Nature should be part of people's daily life.
六、D
（2024八上·东城期中）When I was in school, our classes were always divided (划分) into smaller groups for reading guidance. These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.
I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentences out and he could only read a few words in the sentence.
This is how we usually think of a reading "problem"—the inability to decode (解码) symbols and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers, but in a very different way that's often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don't understand most words from their mouths.
Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and they've come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem.
In one study, they found 8-and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension (理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed.
All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others. What's more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined (融合的) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized (全面的) improvement in the kids' ability to understand language.
Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessness. Kids won't be asked to read out loud in the real world, but they will be expected to know what they've read.
30．________ are called "mice" in the writer's class.
A．Students who like animals B．Students who have good scores
C．Students who are in small groups D．Students who do worst in reading
31．What does the underlined word "invisible" probably mean
A．Incomplete. B．Dishonest. C．Unnoticeable. D．Abnormal.
32．What does the result of Charles Hulme's research tell us
A．Scientists should observe long-term influence.
B．A hidden reading disability have been explored.
C．Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.
D．Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.
33．Why does the writer write the passage
A．To divide the readers into different reading levels.
B．To spread the studies about the students with reading difficulties.
C．To make us give more concern on the problem of reading comprehension.
D．To make students train hard to solve the reading comprehension problem.
七、(每小题2分，共10分)
（2024八上·东城期中）阅读表达
Do you like to travel alone Or do you think it's better to travel with friends If you're still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat. You'll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Travelling alone really shows you what you're made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn't know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you'll get a whole new outlook on the world.
It's easy to think that travelling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you're hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can give you a chance to enjoy communicating with the local people, that is, the most interesting part of the travelling.
In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made. One of the main advantages of travelling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it's just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it's true that travelling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you're new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there's someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There's no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it is up to you.
34．What can you decide when you travel alone
　 　
35．What helps you discover your inner strength
　 　
36．According to the writer, what is the most interesting part of traveling in the one-person team
　 　
37．Why isn't it easy to know more about the world by traveling
　 　
38．Do you prefer to travel alone or travel with friends Why (Please give two reasons).

【点评】考查阅读理解，注意先明确文章主旨（本文围绕自然对人体身心健康的益处展开），再针对不同题型（段落大意题、推理判断题等），结合题干定位原文关键信息或进行合理推导；同时关注文中的研究案例、数据及举例，这些是理解"自然与健康关系"的重要支撑，有助于准确解答题目。

33．C
【知识点】教育类；说明文；细节理解；推理判断；文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文探讨了阅读理解问题的重要性及其潜在解决方法，特别强调了口语训练对提高阅读理解能力的作用。
【点评】考查阅读理解，注意先区分阅读问题的不同类型（如文中提到的"解码困难"和"隐性理解困难"），避免混淆核心概念；解答推理判断题时，需结合研究数据（如Charles Hulme团队的分组实验结果）和原文细节综合推导，不能仅凭单一信息下结论；同时要关注文章主旨，理解作者强调"阅读理解重要性"及"口语训练价值"的深层意图，这对解答主旨类题目至关重要。
30．细节理解题。根据"The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice."可知，阅读上困难最多的被称为"mice (老鼠)"。故选D。
31．词句猜测题。根据"These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don't understand most words from their mouths."可知，这些孩子正确而流利地从书页上阅读，但他们不理解他们嘴里说出来的大多数单词，即他们的阅读能力也很差，但这个问题通常不被注意到；"invisible"表示"看不见的，被忽视的"。故选C。
32．推理判断题。根据"All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others. What's more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined（融合的）way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary"可知，所有三组在训练后不久阅读理解能力都有所提高，但仅接受口语训练的那组在接下来的一年里有很大的进步，比其他组要大得多，而且口语训练带来的进步和融合训练带来的较少进步似乎都来自词汇量的提高，由此可推知口语训练能提高阅读理解能力，和选项D相对应，故选D。
33．文章大意题。通读全文可知，作者讨论了不同类型的阅读问题，特别是那些不容易被发现的阅读理解问题。同时，作者引用了Charles Hulme及其团队的研究，强调了口语训练对提高阅读理解能力的重要性。这些信息表明，作者希望引起读者对阅读理解问题的关注，并认识到解决这些问题的方法不仅仅限于传统的阅读训练，还包括口语训练。故选C。

36．细节理解题。根据"When you travel in a one-person team, this can give you a chance to enjoy communicating with the local people, that is, the most interesting part of the travelling."可知，与当地人交流，这是旅行中最有趣的部分。故填Communicating with the local people.
37．细节理解题。根据"In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made."可知，通过旅行来更多地了解世界并不容易，因为有研究要做，有机票要订，有选择要做。故填Because there's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made.
38．开放性试题。需结合文章中"独自旅行"或"与朋友旅行"的优势，给出合理理由即可。若选择"与朋友旅行"：可参考文中"能分担旅行事务（如订机票、做攻略）""更有安全感"等优势作答，故答案为I prefer to travel with friends. Because we can share the work of planning the trip (like booking flights) and support each other if we get into trouble, which makes the journey less tiring.（答案不唯一，合理即可）

Changes in Beijing
In my opinion, there are a lot of changes in Beijing. I think the biggest one is transport. Now transport has become more and more convenient. We can take the bus, taxi, or underground.

Her name was Cindy Lindbergh. I didn't know exactly where she 13． , but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.
One day, I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl making fun of her. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I saw how sad it made Cindy. As soon as I got close enough, I glared (怒视) at Carl to make him 14． laughing. But it didn't work. So I walked over and stood closer to Cindy to make sure she wouldn't feel quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
I didn't think she'd say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked up from staring at the ground and whispered, "Hi".
"Hi," I said. Then as 15． as I could, I said, "Don't pay any attention to Carl! His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners."
Some of the kids around us laughed after they heard what I had said. By now everyone there was talking with a friend. Quietly, and with a serious look on her face, Cindy said, "I don't know why everyone 16． me."
I was surprised at her words. "No one hates you," I told her.
"Then why don't I have any friends " she asked.
I thought for a moment. "Well," I began, wondering if I could tell her that maybe it was because she smelled so 17． , "I think you're smart, and you dress okay, and..."
"So then, what is it " she asked.
"Maybe it's because you..." I paused because I almost said "stink"(发出臭味) but instead, "don't smell so good."
She looked up, 18． my face as if checking to see if I was making fun of her or being mean. I guess she decided I wasn't. She nodded. I added, "I think you'd probably make more friends if you took more 19． ." She looked away. I worried that I might have gone too far.
Turning back to face me, Cindy took a deep breath and said, "Thank you." I was so relieved, and the next moment the bus arrived, and all the kids started getting on.
"If I 20． a seat for you on the bus tomorrow," she asked, "will you sit with me "
"Sure," I said.
I'm happy to report that Cindy did take more baths from that day on. And it wasn't too long before she started to make friends at school. I was one of them.

17．句意：我开始想，我能不能告诉她，也许是因为她太难闻了。bad不好的；cool酷的；good好的；nice美好的。根据上文"I think it was because she seldom showered, and she kind of smelled bad."可知，大家不和她交朋友，是因为她身上的味道不好。故选A。
18．句意：她抬起头来，仔细观察我的脸，好像在看我是在取笑她还是在刻薄。touching触摸；studying研究；beating打败；remembering记得。根据"my face as if checking to see if I was making fun of her or being mean"可知，此处指研究作者脸上的表情，看作者是在取笑她，还是表现出了刻薄。故选B。
19．句意：我觉得如果你多洗澡你可能会交到更多的朋友。
lessons课；suggestions建议；chances机会；baths洗澡。根据下文"I'm happy to report that Cindy did take more baths from that day on."可知，作者建议辛迪多洗澡。故选D。

（2024八上·东城期中）The Winning Team
Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, "What's wrong, son " Peter's feelings were written all over his face. "I lost the game," Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.

"I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again."
"Soccer is about team effort. You're not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other, besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes."
Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. "Hey, guys," he said to his teammates. "I'm really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we're going to win the next one."
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.
"Yeah," they said, "don't worry about it. It's never just one person's fault. We should think about how we can do better next time."
Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.
24．It was the worst day for Peter because ________.
A．he missed scoring a goal B．his team made a stupid mistake

（2024八上·东城期中）How do you feel about nature After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park I believe the answer must be "YES". We should walk into nature so that we can enjoy the natural beauties around.
Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a math test. During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.
The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can trigger (触发) positive feelings and a sense of peace. Being in nature can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people's everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Being close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, "forest schools" are popular. Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.
Nature holds a special kind of energy; it is pure and wild and spirit-renewing. In a word, the human being cannot live without nature, and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger.
27．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．A problem in the 21st century. B．How much time we spend outdoors.
C．Visiting your local parks. D．Feeling about nature.
28．What do the results of the studies chow
A．More and more Canadians will live near parks.
B．The math test is difficult and makes people nervous.
C．Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.
D．People's heart rates get slower in a 3D virtual reality room.
29．What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage
A．Nature is more important than cities.
B．Country life is healthier than city life.
C．People have lived in the cities for so long
D．Nature should be part of people's daily life.
【答案】27．A

六、D
（2024八上·东城期中）When I was in school, our classes were always divided (划分) into smaller groups for reading guidance. These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.
I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentences out and he could only read a few words in the sentence.
This is how we usually think of a reading "problem"—the inability to decode (解码) symbols and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers, but in a very different way that's often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don't understand most words from their mouths.
Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and they've come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem.
In one study, they found 8-and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension (理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed.
All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others. What's more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined (融合的) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized (全面的) improvement in the kids' ability to understand language.
Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessness. Kids won't be asked to read out loud in the real world, but they will be expected to know what they've read.
30．________ are called "mice" in the writer's class.
A．Students who like animals B．Students who have good scores
C．Students who are in small groups D．Students who do worst in reading
31．What does the underlined word "invisible" probably mean
A．Incomplete. B．Dishonest. C．Unnoticeable. D．Abnormal.
32．What does the result of Charles Hulme's research tell us
A．Scientists should observe long-term influence.
B．A hidden reading disability have been explored.
C．Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.
D．Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.
33．Why does the writer write the passage
A．To divide the readers into different reading levels.
B．To spread the studies about the students with reading difficulties.
C．To make us give more concern on the problem of reading comprehension.
D．To make students train hard to solve the reading comprehension problem.
【答案】30．D

【知识点】教育类；说明文；细节理解；推理判断；文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文探讨了阅读理解问题的重要性及其潜在解决方法，特别强调了口语训练对提高阅读理解能力的作用。
【点评】考查阅读理解，注意先区分阅读问题的不同类型（如文中提到的"解码困难"和"隐性理解困难"），避免混淆核心概念；解答推理判断题时，需结合研究数据（如Charles Hulme团队的分组实验结果）和原文细节综合推导，不能仅凭单一信息下结论；同时要关注文章主旨，理解作者强调"阅读理解重要性"及"口语训练价值"的深层意图，这对解答主旨类题目至关重要。
30．细节理解题。根据"The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice."可知，阅读上困难最多的被称为"mice (老鼠)"。故选D。
31．词句猜测题。根据"These kids read correctly and fluently from the page—they might even be birds—but they don't understand most words from their mouths."可知，这些孩子正确而流利地从书页上阅读，但他们不理解他们嘴里说出来的大多数单词，即他们的阅读能力也很差，但这个问题通常不被注意到；"invisible"表示"看不见的，被忽视的"。故选C。
32．推理判断题。根据"All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following year—much more than the others. What's more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined（融合的）way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary"可知，所有三组在训练后不久阅读理解能力都有所提高，但仅接受口语训练的那组在接下来的一年里有很大的进步，比其他组要大得多，而且口语训练带来的进步和融合训练带来的较少进步似乎都来自词汇量的提高，由此可推知口语训练能提高阅读理解能力，和选项D相对应，故选D。
33．文章大意题。通读全文可知，作者讨论了不同类型的阅读问题，特别是那些不容易被发现的阅读理解问题。同时，作者引用了Charles Hulme及其团队的研究，强调了口语训练对提高阅读理解能力的重要性。这些信息表明，作者希望引起读者对阅读理解问题的关注，并认识到解决这些问题的方法不仅仅限于传统的阅读训练，还包括口语训练。故选C。
七、(每小题2分，共10分)
（2024八上·东城期中）阅读表达
Do you like to travel alone Or do you think it's better to travel with friends If you're still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat. You'll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Travelling alone really shows you what you're made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn't know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you'll get a whole new outlook on the world.
It's easy to think that travelling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you're hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can give you a chance to enjoy communicating with the local people, that is, the most interesting part of the travelling.
In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made. One of the main advantages of travelling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it's just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it's true that travelling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you're new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there's someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There's no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it is up to you.
34．What can you decide when you travel alone
　 　
35．What helps you discover your inner strength
　 　
36．According to the writer, what is the most interesting part of traveling in the one-person team
　 　
37．Why isn't it easy to know more about the world by traveling
　 　
38．Do you prefer to travel alone or travel with friends Why (Please give two reasons).
　 　
【答案】34．You can decide where you go and what you eat.
35．Travelling alone.
36．Communicating with the local people.
37．Because there's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made.
38．I prefer to travel with friends. Because I won't feel lonely all the way and they can help me take photos. (答案不唯一)
【知识点】旅游观光类；说明文；细节理解
【解析】【分析】本文讨论了独自旅行和与朋友一起旅行的优缺点。
【点评】本题考查任务型阅读，注意先明确题目类型（如细节提取、开放性观点表达） ，前4题需带着问题到原文中精准定位关键信息（如第3题找"the most interesting part"对应的"communicating with the local people"），直接提炼答案，避免信息遗漏；第5题开放性题目需结合文章中两种旅行方式的优势（如独自旅行的自主性、结伴旅行的安全性）作答，不能脱离文本随意发挥；同时要注意答题语言的简洁性和准确性，符合任务型阅读"简洁提取、规范表达"的核心要求。
34．细节理解题。根据"One of the greatest things about travelling alone is that you can decide where you go and what you eat."可知，独自旅行时你可以决定去哪里和吃什么。故填You can decide where you go and what you eat.
35．细节理解题。根据"Travelling alone really shows you what you're made of and helps you to discover inner strength you didn't know you had."可知，独自旅行可以帮助你发现自己的内在力量。故填Travelling alone.
36．细节理解题。根据"When you travel in a one-person team, this can give you a chance to enjoy communicating with the local people, that is, the most interesting part of the travelling."可知，与当地人交流，这是旅行中最有趣的部分。故填Communicating with the local people.
37．细节理解题。根据"In fact, travelling to know more about the world is not easy. There's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made."可知，通过旅行来更多地了解世界并不容易，因为有研究要做，有机票要订，有选择要做。故填Because there's research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made.
38．开放性试题。需结合文章中"独自旅行"或"与朋友旅行"的优势，给出合理理由即可。若选择"与朋友旅行"：可参考文中"能分担旅行事务（如订机票、做攻略）""更有安全感"等优势作答，故答案为I prefer to travel with friends. Because we can share the work of planning the trip (like booking flights) and support each other if we get into trouble, which makes the journey less tiring.（答案不唯一，合理即可）
