Ⅳ.阅读理解
Increasingly, travel is woven into our daily lives. Whether for business, pleasure or holiday happymaking, travel is as much a part of our lives as MP3 players and cable TV.
With so many people traveling, I'd like to make the case for treating travel as a hands－on adventure, rather than a passive(被动的) sightseeing opportunity. It can make a big difference in the rewards you get.
Here's an example. When I was in Ethiopia, I was there for the nature and the history, but I found a crowd of local men drinking beer and talking about sports, music and even a little politics. Most of the conversation was happy and trifling (琐碎的), but I also learned that one of the group, a youngster of about 13, had lost all his family and was living on the streets. Despite his sad story, you could not have found a better－adjusted kid, who joked with me.
I traveled to more than 21 countries. I saw the ancient pyramids in Egypt, the wonders of the Roman Empire. I traveled first class and I stayed at 5star hotels, but what really impressed me are the everyday people I meet along the way. The boy did perfect back flips (后翻) in the field, and he smiled when I gave him $5. The Ethiopian farmers planted the land as their ancestors have done for thousands of years.
My advice is to embrace (拥抱) the wonderful world of travel. If you can get off that ship or tour bus and rub shoulders with the locals —do it. Of course, be careful, but experience tells me that there is much in this world to
discover if you let down your guard just a little. Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart —open your wallet if you have to. The blessings will all be yours. 1．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Traveling Is Part of Our Life
B. Traveling Makes a Difference in Your Life
C. There is Much in the World to Discover
D. It Pays to Be Active in Traveling
答案与解析 D 本文从一个新的角度说明了旅游的情况，作者通过自己的旅游经历，说明了在旅游的过程中，一个人如果以积极的态度去体验当地人的生活，以一种爱去关心当地人，那么他就会有所收获，因此D项反映了主题。

2．What impressed the writer while traveling?
A．The wonders of some famous architecture.
B. The ordinary people he meets while traveling.
C. The 5star hotels he stays in while traveling.
D. The beautiful scenery he sees.
答案与解析 B 从第四段的第三句话可以知道B项正确。

3．The writer treats traveling as________.
A．an experience of the local life
B. a chance to have sightseeing
C. an active exploration
D. a course of learning about the local culture
答案与解析 C 第二段的第一句话体现了C项的含义。

4．Referring to the traveling, the writer advises us to ________.
A．be active in communicating with the local people
B. look out for the danger in traveling
C. give money to the local poor people
D. enjoy the beautiful scenery as much as possible
答案与解析 A 从作者的旅游经历，他告诉人们旅游的时候：“Open your eyes, open your mind, open you r heart”以及把自己置身于当地的生活中的经历，可以得出结论A项。
