Undertourism
Overtourism has made travel headlines for a couple of years, pushing sustainable travelers to do their part by traveling in the off-season, shopping local, or ____21____ cities burdened with too many tourists. ·However, there is a growing trend on the opposite side of the coin: undertourism, the phenomenon of inadequate levels of tourism.
While some cities cope with overcrowded streets, others are actively ____22____ tourists. Increasingly, destinations take advantage of undertourism as a benefit — like Norway’s 2017 declaration to “rescue tired travelers from overcrowded European cities by flying them to Oslo.”

Route 66: The Mother Road
There’s a piece of the road in the museum.

The ____32____ at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is big and lively. No other American highway has a place in the Smithsonian.
Just how is it that Route 66 became more ____33____ than larger and longer interstate highways Because this is the Mother Road— a road that ____34____ in the footsteps of Native Americans who once followed the buffalo (野牛); a road that ____35____ over the wagon ruts (马车车辙) of pioneers and breathes the lonely horse trails of cowboys. Route 66 represents the ____36____ of America from fresh wilderness to a nation of states. Route 66 is America’s history, spelled out in 2,488 miles.
As stories go, Route 66 has been done to death — already. People ask how my trip will be new or different — how will I stand out from the millions who have traveled the iconic Route
What matters to me is that this trip is ____37____ new — to me. While I have driven ___38___sections of Route 66 in the past, I have never traveled its entire lengths, from beginning to end. Like every great ____39____ this road trip will bring plenty of adventure and no lack of stories.

Three species in particular ____42____ the sidewalks, tops of buildings, fire escapes, window ledge (窗沿), and air conditioners: house sparrows, pigeons and starlings (椋鸟).

The sounds they make are so ____47____ that you might not recognize that they are coming from the same species. If you listen closely, you can hear their up-and-down whistling, whirring, and even an early video game laser-like sound. You may not consider it ____48____ enough to be called a song, but it is a song nonetheless. When you stare at them, as I have many times, they never ever appear to look at you, but they obviously see you because they ____49____ incredibly rapidly to absolutely any movement or disturbance. They are off ____50____, always faster than I can draw my phone out in order to grab a good picture.
Sometimes, I wish that I did not know about what else they do across the country, and could just enjoy watching them in quiet ____51____. And I wonder if you can know about their paths of ____52____ and still appreciate aspects of their behavior. At times this winter, nothing in the ____53____ environment even came close to remind me of life or the natural world. And then way up in that bit of sky, beside the water tower, I spotted five of them. I’d know their triangular wings, and their suspicious (有疑心的) and ____54____ behavior, anywhere.

Section B (22分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought between July 1 and July 3,1863. It was one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War, with over 51,000 casualties (伤亡人员).
Abraham Lincoln was asked to deliver a message at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery on November 19,1863. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The featured speaker for the occasion was Edward Everett, a former dean of Harvard University, and one of the most famous orators (演说家) of his day.
It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while on his way to Gettysburg. Later that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech.
The next day Everett spoke first. His speech lasted an hour and 57 minutes and it was a perfect example of the day.
Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for less than three minutes, and the photographer standing in front of him didn’t even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began.
At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and said, “I have failed again.”
But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to like its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
Now it is recognized as one of the most powerful statements in the English language and, in fact, one of the most important expressions of freedom and liberty-in-any language. Indeed, Everett afterward wrote to Lincoln “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.”
56. Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery, as ________.
A. he had made great contributions to the Civil War
B. he was one of the most popular orators of his day
C. he was president of the United States at the time
D. he was a friend of the featured speaker Everett
57. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. Lincoln made the speech in the hope that the war would end
B. Lincoln seemed not to have had a lot of time to prepare his speech
C. it was the first time that Lincoln’s speech had ended in failure
D. it was on the train to Gettysburg that Lincoln redrafted his speech
58. In the last paragraph, “the central idea” probably refers to ________.
A. freedom and liberty B. fame and wealth
C. power of language D. recognition of the public
59. From what Everett wrote to Lincoln, we learn that ________.
A. he felt a bit jealous about Lincoln’s success
B. he regretted making a speech in Lincoln’s presence
C. he thought Lincoln’s speech was short but powerful
D. he was confident in his ability to make a better speech next time
(B)

(C)
All over the world, from Baltimore to Auckland, coastal cities are facing the same issue: the regeneration of their docklands (码头区). These areas, which were once at the very heart of urban activity, have emptied over time as modern shipping requirements have moved the docks further out of town. The resultant migration of population and decline in commercial activity are two effects which therefore need to be addressed.
A key factor in this has been the growth of the container industry, now responsible for over 75% of goods transported worldwide. As a consequence of this, ships have progressively increased in size to such a degree that larger docks are required and more sophisticated and efficient cranes. This has led to the decline of city-centre docks along with services and homes connected to them. Another direct result of this is that ships spend less time in port, and thus there are fewer crew members spending money in these areas. One alternative source of revenue is the cruise industry, with a number of cities building facilities for cruise liners which can bring over 5,000 tourists into a place in one day.
As a result of this migration from waterfront areas, hundreds of acres of land have been left to waste away. This has meant in some cities an increase in crime in these parts as gangs have taken control and squatters (擅自占用他人房子的人) have taken up residence. As the situation has got worse, the appeal of these areas for locals or tourists has decreased. This vicious circle can only be broken through redevelopment.
Governments, therefore, have had to make important financial and strategic decisions about these waterfronts, whether they are giving onto a river, a lake, a bay or the sea. In Baltimore, for example, the decision was taken to regenerate the docklands as an area for professional offices and small start-ups as well as remarketing the area as a destination for conferences, events, cyclists and urban tourists.
This meant that all the services and infrastructure required for these segments had to be put in place. I think the statistics attached prove that the project was a great success, due in part to the consultation and planning stages, which led to a unified plan.
In conclusion, I would state that although it is sad to see the decline of such important historical waterfront areas, the resulting renovation can lead to economic and social improvements of great value. I would therefore strongly advocate regeneration plans which bring services, activity and people back to these wastelands and which restore them to an important role in the city.
63. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. changes in shipping B. the decline of the docklands
C. a solution to docklands’ decline D. the rise of the cruise industry
64. Migration from the docklands had led to ________.
A. poverty B. homelessness
C. an increase in crime D. less appealing residences
65. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Baltimore handled the planning stages well.
B. The Baltimore regeneration was mainly for tourists.
C. These days, crew members spend a lot of time in port spending money.
D. Overall, the author is not in favour of the regeneration of dockland areas.
66. The last paragraph offers ________.
A. a regeneration plan that is worth advocating
B. another example of renovation that succeeds
C. an accurate prediction about waterfronts’ future
D. the author’s perspective on improving waterfront areas
Section C (8分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
“When I was a kid, we were out and about all the time, playing with our friends, in and out of each other’s houses, sandwich in pocket, making our own entertainment. Our parents hardly saw us from morning to night.” This is roughly what you will hear if you ask anyone over 30 about their childhood in a rich country.
Today such children will spend most of their time indoors, be driven everywhere rather than walk or cycle, take part in many more organised activities. ___67___ Parents want to protect their offspring from traffic, crime and other dangers in what they see as a more dangerous world, and to give them every opportunity to flourish.
___68___ They range from broad social and demographic (人口的) trends such as urbanisation, changes in family structure and the large-scale move of women into the labour force to the march of digital technology.
Start with the physical environment in which children are growing up. In rich countries the overwhelming majority now lead urban lives. Almost 80% of people live in cities, which have many advantages, including better opportunities for work, education, culture and leisure. But these often come at a cost: expensive housing, overcrowding, lack of green space, heavy traffic, high air pollution and a sense of living among strangers rather than in a close-knit community. This has caused a perception of growing danger, even though statistically the average child is actually safer.
___69___ Families have become smaller, and women bear children far later than they did only a couple of generations ago. Households with just one child have become commonplace in Europe and the more prosperous parts of Asia, including China. That means each child has more time, money and energy invested in it, but misses out on the hustle and bustle of a larger household.
At the same time the number of women going out to work has risen steeply. The post-second-world-war model of the nuclear family with a breadwinner husband, a homemaker wife and several children has become atypical. Mothers now mostly return to work within a year or so of giving birth, not five or ten years later. In the absence of a handy grandmother, the child, even at a young age, will probably be looked after outside the home during the working week.
___70___ Not long ago children used to anger their parents by declaring they were bored, but now “being bored is something that never has to be tolerated for a moment”, writes Sherry Turkle of MIT, an expert on digital culture. In rich countries the vast majority of 15-year-olds have their own smartphone and spend several hours a day online. There are growing concerns that overuse might lead to addiction and mental illness, and that spending too much time sitting still in front of a screen will stop them from exercising and make them fat.
A. All this is done with the best of intentions.
B. Even more important the domestic environment for most children has changed greatly.
C. The first few years of a child’s life are now receiving more attention as new evidence has emerged about its vital importance in the development of the brain.
D. The effect of a number of screen-based devices on children cannot be overlooked.
E. And indeed in many ways children are better off than they were a generation or two ago.
F. This article will explain the factors that have led to these significant changes in childhood in western countries, as well as in China.

V. Guided writing (25分)
【75题答案】
【答案】
I understand your concern about your son John’s excessive phone use during your family trip in Xi’an. Here are some suggestions that might help.
Firstly, try to have an open conversation with John. Explain how much effort you’ve put into planning this trip, which is aimed at creating cherished memories for the whole family. You could say something like, “I’ve chosen these destinations because they are rich in cultural heritage and natural beauty, and I really want us to enjoy them together.” Secondly, set some phone-free time during the trip. For example, you could decide that during meals or when visiting certain attractions, phones should be put away. This way, John will have no choice but to focus on the present moment and the people around him. Lastly, involve John in the planning process for future trips. Ask him what kind of activities or destinations he would enjoy. This will make him feel more included and excited about the trip, reducing his need to rely on his phone for entertainment.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful, and I wish you a wonderful family trip!
