In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities.
One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours.
Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel has helped preserve endangered crafts and save dying traditions.
However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic.
Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs.
7. How does slow travel cut environmental harm
A. By visiting fewer destinations.
B. By avoiding all motor transport.
C. By booking low-carbon package tours.
D. By staying and eating at local places.
8. What can we infer about slow travel from paragraph 3
A. It encourages tourists to record local history.
B. It allows tourists to live with residents.
C. It boosts local economy and cultural heritage.
D. It turns local handicrafts into souvenirs.
9. What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean
A. Valuable. B. Essential.
C. Worthwhile. D. Practicable.
10. What is the passage mainly about
A. The rising popularity of slow travel and its driving factors.
B. The benefits and future development of slow travel.
C. Travel companies’ adaptation to the trend of slow travel.
D. The environmental and cultural impacts of slow travel.
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
11. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
12. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
13. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
14. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home

I Once Adopted a Three-legged Dog
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a dog. But my parents were firmly against it. “Taking care of a dog is a lifetime commitment,” they’d say, “and you’re not ready for that.”
No matter how I begged, the answer was always the same. The battle dragged on until my tenth birthday.
“Nancy,” my father said with a big smile, “I got you a puppy for your birthday!”
I shouted in delight and ran towards him, only to find that it was a dog-like robot. Seeing my disappointment, my father knelt down and explained, “This is a ‘Think It Over’ puppy. Take care of it for a while, and then we’ll talk about a real dog.”
Unwillingly, I accepted the puppy and named it Friday since it was Friday that day. At first, I was skeptical how a robot could teach me anything about caring for a real dog. But as the days went by, I began to see the point my father was trying to make.
Friday demanded constant attention. It needed to be “fed” with recharged batteries frequently and “cleaned” to keep its sensors functioning properly. It even had a mood system. If I ignored it for too long, it would make sad sounds and refuse to stop until I spent time with it.
One day, I forgot to “feed” Friday. When I came home after a particularly long day at school, it was lying on the floor, with its eyes closed. I felt very guilty, as if I had killed a real pet. I quickly replaced its batteries and apologized, promising to be more responsible.
That moment was a turning point. Since then, Friday became part of my daily life, and I began to take pride in keeping it “happy”. Sometimes, I even shared my secrets with it.

Windows, Not Just Mirrors: Redefining Study Tours
Recently, I’ve found our overseas study tours focus too much on sightseeing instead of real cultural exchange. We seldom connect with local people or their lifestyles.
Overseas tours are about deeper connections, not just tourism. We can arrange homestays for students to experience daily life directly. We can also offer hands-on activities like local cooking, traditional craft workshops or music lessons, which encourage active participation and meaningful communication. Besides, letting students shadow a local peer for a full day provides an authentic insight into their life and education.
I sincerely hope these proposals will be adopted to create truly immersive and rewarding study tour experiences.
【答案】范文
A few weeks later, I approached my parents with a newly found confidence. I told them how I enjoyed taking care of Friday and what I have learned from taking care of Friday. “Friday has taught me a lesson in responsibility, patience, and love,” I said. “Now, I think I’m ready for a real dog.” My parents immediately agreed to go to the pet shop. On the way, we saw a shelter for abandoned dogs and I suggested we try our luck there first.
As soon as we entered the shelter, we were welcomed by a small three-legged dog. When I bent down to pat it, it kept shaking its tail and licking my face as if we were old friends. I knew instantly it was the one I wanted. On the way home, my father said to me with pride, “The worker said that the poor dog was abandoned by its owner because he had lost one leg and it had stayed there for months. I’m sure you can provide a happy home for it.”
