Ⅴ. 阅读理解
With the rapid development， the city of Chongqing is becoming more and more attractive to outsiders， including foreigners. For 26－year-old Moldovan Gabriela Cojocaru， who has the Chinese nickname Li Xiaoxiao， Chongqing is the beginning of a dream.
In September 2014， Xiaoxiao， who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood， graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy， and several classmates joined her on a trip to China. However， she did not know any Chinese or even English. She made many friends from China， which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.
“I think as a foreigner， first you have to learn Chinese，” she said. “Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people.” But after learning what she thought was Chinese， she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning was actually the Chongqing dialect. Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice. As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese， she took considerable efforts to be good at it. This “mistake” has turned out to be a lucky stroke.
But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other. As such， she introduced Chongqing food or other Chinese food， and stories about China to her friends in Moldova. She plans to introduce the history and specialties of Moldova， such as Moldovan wine， to the Chinese. She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5，000 years of wine-making.
“I’d love to do it，” she said. “I will continue to promote the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了26岁的摩尔多瓦女孩Gabriela Cojocaru(中文名李晓晓)来到重庆，逐渐适应了当地生活，还学会了重庆方言的故事。她希望通过文化交流增进两国人民的了解。

(　A　)2. What does the underlined word “delivery” mean in Paragraph 3？
A. Dialect. B. Ballet.

【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice”可知，即使是重庆当地人也很难通过她所说的话辨别出她是外国人，说明她的重庆方言说得很地道。delivery意为“讲话方式”，与dialect意思相近。
(　D　)3. Which of the following best describes Xiaoxiao according to the text？
A. Cautious and smart.
B. Humorous and creative.
C. Friendly and optimistic.
D. Hard-working and responsible.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese， she took considerable efforts to be good at it.”及第四段中的“But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other.”可知，晓晓下了很大的功夫学习汉语并且希望做一些能够增进两国彼此了解的事情。通过这些事例可以判断出她是一个既努力又有责任感的女孩。
(　B　)4. Where can the text be found？

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
A famous travel writer， Pico Iyer， recently wrote of his experience in the deep south of the world. The visit， he said， “awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world， and you go home with important questions for your conscience (良知) as well as radiant memories.” Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread， known in the industry as Antarctic ambassador-ship.
In Antarctica， crowding， environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues. While 100，000 tourists a year is tiny by global tourism standards， visits are concentrated in highly sensitive ecological areas for only a few months per year. There are no residents to disturb (other than local wildlife)， because there’s no host community to protest if visitor numbers get too high.
Even so， strong protections are in place. In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System—the set of international agreements signed by countries with an Antarctic presence or an interest—tourism operators based in those nations have to apply for permits and follow strict environmental regulations.
For instance， to avoid introducing new species， tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice， and keeping a set distance from wildlife.
Almost all Antarctic cruise operators belong to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO)， the peak body that manages Antarctic tourism. For the first time this year， operators have to report their overall fuel consumption as part of IAATO’s efforts to make the industry more climate-friendly. Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (混合动力船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods， reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
If you’re one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer， enjoy the experience—but go with care. Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctica and once you’re safely back home.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极旅游对环境的影响及采取的保护措施，强调游客在南极旅游时应对环境负责。
(　D　)1. What’s the function of Paragraph 1？
A. To introduce the famous writer Pico Iyer.
B. To show how amazing to be Antarctic ambassador.
C. To arouse public interest in Antarctic tourism.
D. To show concerns for Antarctic environment.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The visit， he said， ‘awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world…radiant memories.’ Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread， known in the industry as Antarctic ambassadorship.”可知，著名旅行作家Iyer讲述了他在世界最南端(南极洲)的经历，他的这次访问让他产生了对世界环境的担忧，而且这种反应很普遍。由此推知，第一段的作用是引发对南极环境的关注。
(　B　)2. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “vacuuming” in Paragraph 4？
A. Protecting. B. Emptying.
C. Staining. D. Filling.
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词所在段落可知，为避免引入新物种，游客踏上冰面之前要给靴子消毒，要保证口袋里没有东西。由此可知，vacuuming意为“清空”，与emptying意思相近。
(　C　)3. Which is true about the operators this year according to the passage？
A. They needn’t report overall fuel assumption.
B. They made no effort to be climate-friendly.
C. Hybrid vessels they used are a good choice to reduce CO2.
D. Polar travel can be stopped right away by the company.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (混合动力船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods， reducing carbon dioxide emissions.”可知，经营者使用的混合动力船能够减少二氧化碳排放。
(　A　)4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Antarctic tourism？
A. Positive.
B. Neutral.
C. Negative.
D. Unclear.
【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“enjoy the experience—but go with care”可知，作者对南极之旅的建议是享受这段旅程的同时要多加注意。由此可知，作者对南极旅游的态度是积极的。
Ⅴ. 阅读七选五
With travel on the rise， more families are planning to take their home life on the road， whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Travelling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet？” 　1　
Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly， but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4－year-old to spend eight hours in museums，” says Waldon， a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kids and realise， ‘　2　’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
　3　 If a little one is into dinosaurs， perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals， maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium.
One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers，” she says. “　4　” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico， Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards， her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one photo-worthy moment after another， but that never happens. 　5　 When kids are involved， they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually， no family trip goes without problems.
C. However， it can also be a highly rewarding activity.
D. That way， we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. This is a 30－minute max type opportunity for my child.
F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.

2. 　E　
【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文中的“‘You shouldn’t expect a 4－year-old to spend eight hours in museums，’ says Waldon， a family travel expert. ‘It’s really smart for parents to think like their kids and realise”可知，家庭旅行专家 Waldon 建议父母像孩子一样思考，不应期待4岁孩子花8小时逛博物馆，空格处会提到对孩子耐力的理解，选项E“这是一个最多30分钟的活动机会，适合我的孩子”承接上文，符合语境。
3. 　G　
【解析】 考查段落大意。根据下文可知，本段主要讲述了在计划带孩子去旅行时，父母应该要考虑孩子的兴趣爱好，选项G“在规划旅行时，父母也可以根据孩子的兴趣爱好来做出安排”能概括本段段落大意。
4. 　F　　
【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到书籍会让孩子感到兴奋，空格后提到Waldon给她的孩子们读书的实例，空格处应进一步解释书籍的作用，选项F“它们让孩子在离家之前就对这次旅行产生了兴趣”承上启下，符合语境。
5. 　B　
【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到旅行成为一个又一个值得分享的时刻这种事情从来没有发生过，空格后提到让孩子参与可共同解决问题，空格处会提到旅行可能会不顺利，选项B“事实上，没有家庭旅行是一帆风顺的”符合语境。

Now distance is no longer a problem for travellers around the world. For those who make journeys across the world， the speed of travel today has turned the countries into villages. It seems that the distances between them are no greater than from village to village in the past. Planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other， providing a freedom of movement not dreamt of a hundred years ago.
However， not everyone is pleased with the high speed. Though we have conquered time and distance， there is a great loss. Travel is something to be enjoyed， not endured. The ship offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. During a journey by train， lakes， forests and wild， open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. But if you board a plane， you can just see the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the plane， and the hours progress slowly.
What’s more， there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are transported like robots along walkways； luggage is weighed， tickets are produced， examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Of course， journeys by rail and sea take longer， but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival are luckily shorter. No wonder， then， that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Yet it is impossible for us to turn our backs on the plane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it； too many industries have been built around its design and operation. And too many holiday takers， with limited time to spend， patiently endure the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours. Speed controls people’s life today. And saving time， in work or play， is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen， riding freely across the wild， open plains， were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will， and the clock was not their master.

(　B　)1. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 1？
A. Travelling by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modern travel has made distance relatively shorter.
C. The freedom of movement has helped people realise their dreams.
D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place.
【解析】段落大意题。通读第一段的内容可知，本段主要讲述了现代的旅行速度让人们可以快捷地从一个地方到达另一个地方，似乎缩短了地域之间的距离。
(　D　)2. How does the author support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2？
A. By giving instructions.
B. By analysing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving examples.
【解析】推理判断题。根据下文作者所描述的坐船和坐火车旅行的情景可知，作者通过举例来阐述画线句子的含义。
(　A　)3. What does the last sentence of the passage mean？
A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B. They needed the clock to tell the time.
C. They preferred travelling on horseback.
D. They could travel with their master.
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的最后一句话可知，早期骑马旅行的人可以按照自己的意愿去旅行，并且不受时间限制，即他们可以享受不受任何约束、自由且放松的旅行。

How to Handle Travel Stress
Traffic delays， disruptions due to storms or wildfires， and other surprises may be part of your next business or pleasure trip. 　1　 We’ve rounded up a few expert-backed tips for coping with stress， anxiety， and the chaos that come with modern travel.
Know your triggers.
　2　 People who experience anxiety have different sensitivities. If you pinpoint those triggers ahead of time， you will likely have a smoother travel day. “Triggers might include the uncertainty of traffic， flight delays， being in public places or seeing friends and family for the holidays， ” experts explained in a news release from a school.
Prepare well.
Get a good night’s rest the night before travelling， and eat healthfully to take care of yourself. Avoid drugs and alcohol as they cause instability and can worsen feelings of anxiety. 　3　 The good feelings from exercise will calm you down and help rid anxiety and nervous energy. Those who are travelling shorter distances can opt for driving instead of flying， especially for those who experience aerophobia (恐飞综合症). If you plan to travel by car， try not to drive during rush hour to limit upset over road rage， detours， and traffic.
　4　
Passenger disruptions have increased over the years. Some common reasons for the rise in passenger intolerance include： flight delays and cancellations， jam-packed flights， substance(alcohol) abuse in the airport， a decrease in tolerance. 　5　 If a passenger is being abusive， angry or offensive， a second passenger might be influenced.
You can’t control many things around you as you move through the world. But you can control your response to the stress and the disorder that can come with travel.
A. Does travelling alone worry you？ B. What are your travel-related triggers？ C. Cope with other people’s poor behaviours. D. Consider exercises before your trip begins. E. But you don’t have to submit to the anxiety and upset. F. Use your stress management techniques to comfort others. G. One disruptive passenger can cause anxiety and distress for other ones.

My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland， but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone， marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. Despite my fears， I set off， feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded by couples.
In Vilnius， I found comfort in a website， which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours， each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town， a UNESCO World Heritage Site， and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide， Ieva， shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travellers from various backgrounds， including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius， visiting places she might have known. These tours， full of surprises， were perfect for a solo traveller， offering connection and flexibility. On my last day， Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.
I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes， shopped in local supermarkets， and cooked， activities that I was once less skillful at. In Poland， I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours， adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20，000 steps daily， often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz， I took a private tour with Milena， who helped me find my family’s history， including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.
Stephen was hospitalised just before I returned， and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow， but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly， benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

1. 上周末，李华和他的姐姐决定去爬泰山。出发之前，他们做了充分的准备。然后他们就坐上了开往泰安的列车。众所周知，看日出是泰山之旅中最精彩的部分，所以他们晚上11点开始上山， 用时6个小时，大约第二天凌晨5点钟，他们终于到达了顶峰。他们没有预料到山顶会如此冷，这让他们很惊讶并且有点沮丧。但是随着第一缕阳光的出现，他们又活跃了起来。泰山壮观的日出以其绝美的景象确实让他们叹为观止。看着宜人的景色，他们都一致认为这是他们经历过的最棒的旅行。
Last weekend， Li Hua and her sister decided to climb Mount Tai. They made full preparations before 　starting out/they started out　. Then they got on the train
　bound for　 Tai’an. As is known to us all， watching the sunrise is the
　highlight　 of the trip to Mount Tai. So they started going up the mountain at 11 p.m.， which took a 　duration　 of six hours. At about 5：00 the next morning， they finally reached the 　peak　. They didn’t 　anticipate　 it being so 　freezing　 that they felt 　astonished　 and a little depressed. But 　with　 the first ray of sunshine 　arising　， they came to life.

As an exchange student， Li Hua came to England 　alongside　 several other students. To his 　astonishment/surprise　， the first day he went shopping in the
　mall　， he found that， 　contrary to　 his previous ideas， he could not understand not only the local people’s English with local 　accent　， but also many 　idioms　 they used. Fortunately， his host family gave him selfless help， and he soon made great progress. One night at dinner， Mrs Smith gave him 　a bunch of　 flowers and Mr Smith 　proposed a toast　 to his progress， but he felt that he should 　owe it to　 the Smiths.
3. 一大早起床后，他拉开窗帘，发现窗户上结了霜，而且外面还雾蒙蒙的。于是他知道今天一定很冷。

With the rapid development， the city of Chongqing is becoming more and more attractive to outsiders， including foreigners. For 26－year-old Moldovan Gabriela Cojocaru， who has the Chinese nickname Li Xiaoxiao， Chongqing is the beginning of a dream.
In September 2014， Xiaoxiao， who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood， graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy， and several classmates joined her on a trip to China. However， she did not know any Chinese or even English. She made many friends from China， which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China.
“I think as a foreigner， first you have to learn Chinese，” she said. “Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people.” But after learning what she thought was Chinese， she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning was actually the Chongqing dialect. Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice. As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese， she took considerable efforts to be good at it. This “mistake” has turned out to be a lucky stroke.
But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other. As such， she introduced Chongqing food or other Chinese food， and stories about China to her friends in Moldova. She plans to introduce the history and specialties of Moldova， such as Moldovan wine， to the Chinese. She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5，000 years of wine-making.
“I’d love to do it，” she said. “I will continue to promote the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better.”
( )1. Why does Xiaoxiao make Chinese friends？
A. To study more about ethnic dance.
B. To appreciate more about new cultures.
C. To learn more local dialects.
D. To communicate with others more easily.

A. Dialect. B. Ballet.

B. Humorous and creative.
C. Friendly and optimistic.
D. Hard-working and responsible.
( )4. Where can the text be found？
A. In a biography.
B. In a culture magazine.
C. In a history book.
D. In a novel.

A famous travel writer， Pico Iyer， recently wrote of his experience in the deep south of the world. The visit， he said， “awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world， and you go home with important questions for your conscience (良知) as well as radiant memories.” Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread， known in the industry as Antarctic ambassador-ship.
In Antarctica， crowding， environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues. While 100，000 tourists a year is tiny by global tourism standards， visits are concentrated in highly sensitive ecological areas for only a few months per year. There are no residents to disturb (other than local wildlife)， because there’s no host community to protest if visitor numbers get too high.
Even so， strong protections are in place. In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System—the set of international agreements signed by countries with an Antarctic presence or an interest—tourism operators based in those nations have to apply for permits and follow strict environmental regulations.
For instance， to avoid introducing new species， tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice， and keeping a set distance from wildlife.
Almost all Antarctic cruise operators belong to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO)， the peak body that manages Antarctic tourism. For the first time this year， operators have to report their overall fuel consumption as part of IAATO’s efforts to make the industry more climate-friendly. Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (混合动力船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods， reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
If you’re one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer， enjoy the experience—but go with care. Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctica and once you’re safely back home.
( )1. What’s the function of Paragraph 1？
A. To introduce the famous writer Pico Iyer.
B. To show how amazing to be Antarctic ambassador.
C. To arouse public interest in Antarctic tourism.
D. To show concerns for Antarctic environment.
( )2. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “vacuuming” in Paragraph 4？
A. Protecting. B. Emptying.
C. Staining. D. Filling.
( )3. Which is true about the operators this year according to the passage？
A. They needn’t report overall fuel assumption.
B. They made no effort to be climate-friendly.
C. Hybrid vessels they used are a good choice to reduce CO2.
D. Polar travel can be stopped right away by the company.
( )4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Antarctic tourism？
A. Positive.
B. Neutral.
C. Negative.

With travel on the rise， more families are planning to take their home life on the road， whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Travelling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet？” 　1　
Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly， but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4－year-old to spend eight hours in museums，” says Waldon， a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kids and realise， ‘　2　’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
　3　 If a little one is into dinosaurs， perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals， maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium.
One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers，” she says. “　4　” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico， Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards， her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one photo-worthy moment after another， but that never happens. 　5　 When kids are involved， they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually， no family trip goes without problems.
C. However， it can also be a highly rewarding activity.
D. That way， we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. This is a 30－minute max type opportunity for my child.

Now distance is no longer a problem for travellers around the world. For those who make journeys across the world， the speed of travel today has turned the countries into villages. It seems that the distances between them are no greater than from village to village in the past. Planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other， providing a freedom of movement not dreamt of a hundred years ago.
However， not everyone is pleased with the high speed. Though we have conquered time and distance， there is a great loss. Travel is something to be enjoyed， not endured. The ship offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. During a journey by train， lakes， forests and wild， open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. But if you board a plane， you can just see the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the plane， and the hours progress slowly.
What’s more， there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are transported like robots along walkways； luggage is weighed， tickets are produced， examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Of course， journeys by rail and sea take longer， but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival are luckily shorter. No wonder， then， that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Yet it is impossible for us to turn our backs on the plane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it； too many industries have been built around its design and operation. And too many holiday takers， with limited time to spend， patiently endure the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours. Speed controls people’s life today. And saving time， in work or play， is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen， riding freely across the wild， open plains， were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will， and the clock was not their master.
( )1. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 1？
A. Travelling by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modern travel has made distance relatively shorter.
C. The freedom of movement has helped people realise their dreams.
D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place.
( )2. How does the author support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2？
A. By giving instructions.
B. By analysing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving examples.
( )3. What does the last sentence of the passage mean？
A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B. They needed the clock to tell the time.
C. They preferred travelling on horseback.
D. They could travel with their master.

How to Handle Travel Stress
Traffic delays， disruptions due to storms or wildfires， and other surprises may be part of your next business or pleasure trip. 　1　 We’ve rounded up a few expert-backed tips for coping with stress， anxiety， and the chaos that come with modern travel.
Know your triggers.
　2　 People who experience anxiety have different sensitivities. If you pinpoint those triggers ahead of time， you will likely have a smoother travel day. “Triggers might include the uncertainty of traffic， flight delays， being in public places or seeing friends and family for the holidays， ” experts explained in a news release from a school.
Prepare well.

My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland， but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone， marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. Despite my fears， I set off， feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded by couples.
In Vilnius， I found comfort in a website， which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours， each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town， a UNESCO World Heritage Site， and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide， Ieva， shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travellers from various backgrounds， including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius， visiting places she might have known. These tours， full of surprises， were perfect for a solo traveller， offering connection and flexibility. On my last day， Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.
I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes， shopped in local supermarkets， and cooked， activities that I was once less skillful at. In Poland， I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours， adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20，000 steps daily， often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz， I took a private tour with Milena， who helped me find my family’s history， including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.
Stephen was hospitalised just before I returned， and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow， but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly， benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.
