阅读短文并回答问题Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts（旅游胜地）. Reverse tourism（逆向旅游） has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10-fold（十倍）. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.1. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The popularity of travel agency in China.B. The contributions of tourism to the economy.C. The high income of hotels during holidays.D. The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.2. What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism? A. The impact of COVID-19.B. Holidaymakers changing needs for travel. C. The lower cost of heading to less-traveled places. D.

It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.C. It is helpful to spread local culture to tourists. D. It blocks the development of some popular resorts.4. What is Jiang Hans advice on developing the tourism market? A. Upgrading the supporting facilities in tourist areas.B. Improving the management rules of tourist attractions further.C. Exploring the potential and features of lesser-known attractions. D. Promoting the local characteristics of China through online media.答案：DBBC阅读短文并回答问题A solar tree is a structure resembling a tree that generates solar energy using photovoltaic panels（太阳能光伏板）. It helps solve an urgent global challenge: Replacing greenhouse gas-emitting energy sources like oil and gas with renewable energy. But the power generation potential of solar trees is relatively limited, and their primary purpose is to raise public awareness about renewable energy by getting people to notice and interact（互动）with solar energy in new ways.Solar trees generally have a firm metal, plastic, or stone base that extends up and out into “branches” on which solar panels are mounted. Beyond this basic structure, there is great diversity in the design of solar tree units. The solar trees photovoltaic “leaves” absorb sunlight, converting it into electricity that is conducted down through the trunk-like central pillar of the structure to an inside battery. Many designs feature rotating（旋转的）panels that can move throughout the day in order to obtain the greatest amount of sunlight.Solar trees help power homes, businesses, and public services. They can create shade to help reduce the urban heat island effect and provide shelter in severe weather such as rainstorms and heatwaves, creating greater urban resilience in the face of climate change. They also enhance public spaces, providing charging stations, and powering streetlights.In comparison to other kinds of ground-mounted solar panel devices, solar trees dont require much land. They make solar energy generation possible in land-scarce areas that cant support vast solar arrays, as well as places that lack sufficient rooftop space for panels. However, solar panels are much cheaper than solar trees at present and have far greater energy generation capacity. Therefore, present solar tree designs often serve as a supplemental source rather than as a primary energy source.At present, solar trees arent designed as large-scale solar projects, which limits their ability to contribute to the low-carbon energy transition. Still, their varied designs are appealing. This makes solar trees effective at displaying and thereby educating people about solar energy, and promoting a business or organizations commitment to renewable energy. 1. What is the main purpose of building solar trees? A. To beautify the urban environment. B. To draw public attention to solar energy.C. To replace non-renewable energy resources.D. To provide charging services in emergencies. 2. What do we know about a solar tree? A. It stores energy in its own battery. B. It can adjust its height automatically. C. It is made of environmentally friendly materials. D. It transforms sunlight into electricity by its metal base. 3. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The design features of solar trees.B. The ways of saving energy in cities. C. The benefits of solar trees to humans.D. The difficulties of promoting solar trees.4. What advantage do solar trees have over other ground-mounted solar panel devices? A. They occupy much less land.B. They are cheaper to manufacture. C. They are more effective in generating energy.D. They can work in various weather conditions.答案：BACA阅读短文并回答问题Scientists in New Zealand are looking for ways to stop cows from burping（打嗝）. A burp is when an animal releases gas from its digestive system through its throat. To some, a cow burp might seem like a small thing. But in New Zealand, cows outnumber people two to one. Cows do not easily digest the grass they eat. Instead, they ferment it in multiple parts of their stomach. The process releases a lot of methane（甲烷）gas. The gas does not last as long in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, but it has a much stronger effect on global warming.To reduce the amount of gas that comes out of cows, scientists in New Zealand are considering changing the food the animals eat, putting a device on cows that changes methane into something safer, or even giving them a vaccine. There is also talk of feeding cows a special red seaweed or giving them a food addition known as a probiotic（益生菌）, which would help them digest the grass.At a research farm in New Zealand, more than a dozen calves wait to be fed a probiotic, Kowbucha. The probiotic is mixed into a milk-like drink fed to the calves at the Massey University farm. Early trials suggested that the probiotic supplement can help reduce methane emissions by 20%. “Kowbucha is cost-effective and easy for the farmer to use. It doesnt have any effect on the milk,” said Shalome Bassett, principal scientist at Fonterra Research and Development Centre. The fight against methane is serious in New Zealand. The country once announced plans to tax farmers whose animals produce too much methane gas, but the farmers said they would lose much money if the tax plan went into effect. Aidan Bichan, a farmer that runs Kaiwaiwai Dairies in the town of Featherston, said he intends to get more milk from each cow. The increased efficiency means he does not need as many cows, which in turn reduces the amount of methane coming from his farm.1. Why do scientists want to prevent cows from burping? A. To improve the quality of milk. B. To help relieve global warming. C. To protect cows from getting sore throats. D. To make cows digest the grass quickly. 2. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Reasons for giving cows a vaccine.B. The impact of feeding cows a probiotic. C. Possible methods of reducing cow burps.D. The significance of changing cows food.3. What is Shalome Bassetts attitude towards Kowbucha? A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.4. What is Aidan Bichans plan? A. Applying for a lower tax bill.B. Raising money to expand his farm.C. Increasing milk production of each cow. D. Trying the probiotic supplement on cows.参考答案：BCAC阅读短文并回答问题High in the Swiss Alps, St Moritz made its name as a place for pushing the boundaries of winter sports. Recently, the region continued its long tradition of expanding the limits of what is possible with a world record attempt not on snow or ice, but on rails. To mark the 175th anniversary of Switzerlands first railway, a railway company created the worlds longest passenger train 100 cars, 2,990 tonnes and almost two kilometers long. Formed of 25 new electric trains, the record-breaking 1,906-meter train took almost an hour to cover around 25 kilometers over the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line, which is famous for its endless swooping curves and steep inclines（斜坡）. The mountain railways are regarded as great feats of engineering. The 62-kilometer line between Thusis and St Moritz, a world-renowned masterpiece of civil engineering, took just five years to build despite requiring 55 bridges and 39 tunnels.Unlike most Swiss and European railways, which use the standard gauge（标准轨距）between the rails of 1.435 meters, the rails, known as Rhaetische Bahn rails, are just one meter apart. “In order to complete the trains journey successfully, everything has to be perfect. We need to be 100% synchronized（同步的）, every second. Everyone has to keep their speed and other systems under control at all times,” lead driver Andreas Kramer said. “We need to know the Albula Line very well, every change of gradient, and every incline.”The mountainous Swiss landscape has encouraged creative transportation solutions for generations, resulting in one of the most train-reliant nations in the world. On average, Swiss citizens travel about 2,450 kilometers by train annually an estimated quarter of their total transportation system. In 2021, Swiss Federal Railways operated 11,260 trains carrying 880,000 passengers and 185,000 tonnes of goods per day on a 3,265 kilometer-long network with 804 stations. Therefore, the successful record attempt will be great for the local area and for the country as a whole.1. What is the worlds longest passenger train created for? A. Celebrating the 175th year of Swiss first railway. B. Satisfying peoples increasing demand for transportation. C. Encouraging people to pay attention to Swiss winter sports. D. Attracting more visitors to appreciate the beauty of St Moritz.2. What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Dreams.B. Burdens.C. Achievements. D. Competitions.3. What does Andreas Kramer think of the drivers work? A. It is boring.B. It is well-paid. C. It is dangerous.D. It is demanding.4. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph? A. To show the popularity of tourism among Swiss citizens. B. To prove the significance of the successful record attempt. C. To stress the difficulty of constructing the worlds longest train. D. To present the trend of developing green transportation in Switzerland.答案：ACDB3学科网（北京）股份有限公司
