2.Travelling with your belongs on your back,or backpacking is self-planned budget (預(yù)算) touring using low-cost transport,and often going on foot.Backpackers don't carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels.Instead,they walk around with backpacks filled with everything they need,ready to sleep under the stars if necessary.With their limited budget,they need to choose lodgings (住宿) and transport based on an old saying-the lower the price,the better.
The lure (吸引力) of adventure has made backpacking a popular travel style among young people and students who are seldom owners of fat wallets.They prefer exploring a place by themselves,with only a printed map,or a smart phone on hand.
"A package tour may suit a family's needs,but it's not my cup of tea,"says Betty Lam,who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer."I want to explore a place according to my choice,my timetable and myself."
Were there any particularly memorable events on the trip?
"Once,the train to Auckland was put off and two of our group were hungry,so they left their backpacks with us and went to a nearby shop to buy something to eat.I still remember the scene with Tammy and me running flat out to catch the train,carrying four huge backpacks.The other two were racing behind us as they'd panicked when they saw the train getting ready to pull away from the station.I held the train door open while Tammy was shouting."Quick-jump in!"Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes!It was so funny!"
So was the trip worth all the effort?
"Definitely.True,we had a few quarrels (爭(zhēng)吵); we have different interests,and it wasn't easy to please everybody.But we managed to reach a compromise (妥協(xié)) every time.Travelling with friends helps you learn about getting on with people and working together.All of us had gained a lot by the end of the holiday-the four of us had become really good buddies."
What should backpackers always carry with them?
Betty laughs-"not too much!Comfortable walking shoes are important.A raincoat is necessary and bring some practical clothes."
So,is that everything to bear in mind?
"Well,yes and no,because you can't prepare enough.You need much information about where you're going to stay,transport,food,etc.Most importantly,you must have insurance (保險(xiǎn))-just in case your money,passport or backpack get stolen,or you get sick.Take time planning and you'll have fun safely."
53.What do backpackers usually do?D
A.Stay in pricey hotels.
B.Face a lot of dangers.

B.The friendship improved as a result of their adventures.
C.Only half of Betty's group caught the train to Auckland.
D.Betty toured New Zealand with backpackers she met there.

分析 文章大意:
旅行一般是背上背著自己的行李,或者說(shuō)背包是自我計(jì)劃預(yù)算內(nèi)的用于旅游的低成本交通工具,背包客不攜帶手提箱或在昂貴的酒店留宿.他們的背包里充滿了他們所需要的一切,如果有必要,會(huì)在野外睡覺(jué).他們有限的預(yù)算要求他們?cè)谶x擇住宿和交通時(shí)是基于一個(gè)古老的說(shuō)法-價(jià)格越低越好.
冒險(xiǎn)的誘惑力使背包成為年輕人和學(xué)生中流行的旅游風(fēng)格,他們中幾乎所有人都沒(méi)有什么錢.他們喜歡自己探索一個(gè)地方,只有一張印刷地圖或智能手機(jī).
去年夏天,和三個(gè)朋友在新西蘭背包旅行的貝蒂•林說(shuō):"套餐旅行可能適合家庭的需要,但它不是我的茶."我想根據(jù)我的選擇探索一個(gè)地方,我的時(shí)間和我都由我來(lái)定."
在旅行中有什么特別難忘的活動(dòng)嗎?
"一次,到奧克蘭的火車被推遲了,我們兩個(gè)人餓了,所以他們丟下了背包和我們?nèi)ジ浇囊患疑痰曩I東西吃.我還記得當(dāng)時(shí)的場(chǎng)景,我跑了好久去趕上火車,攜帶四個(gè)巨大的背包.其他兩個(gè)在我們后面,因?yàn)樗麄凅@慌失措,當(dāng)他們看到火車準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)車站時(shí).我把火車門打開(kāi),而Tammy大喊"快跳上來(lái)!"Susie首先進(jìn)來(lái),就像一袋土豆!這真是太好笑了!
那么這次旅行值得所有的努力嗎?
"絕對(duì)的,真的,我們很少爭(zhēng)吵;我們有不同的興趣,這就決定了不可能讓大家都高興.我們?cè)O(shè)法達(dá)成妥協(xié).與朋友一起去旅行,幫助你了解到與人相處應(yīng)該共同努力.我們所有人在假期結(jié)束時(shí)獲得了很多-我們四個(gè)人已經(jīng)成為真正好的伙伴.
背包客應(yīng)該攜帶什么?
貝蒂笑-"沒(méi)有太多東西!舒適的步行鞋是重要的.雨衣是必要的,帶一些實(shí)用的衣服.
所以,一切都要牢記嗎?
"嗯,是的,同時(shí)也不是,因?yàn)槟銣?zhǔn)備的不可能面面俱到.你需要很多的信息,你要留下來(lái),乘坐交通工具,食品等.最重要的是,你必須有保險(xiǎn),應(yīng)為你可能會(huì)遇到以下情況,你的錢,護(hù)照或背包被偷,或者你生病了.做時(shí)間計(jì)劃,你會(huì)揮獲得更多的樂(lè)趣.

解答 53.D,推理判斷題,文章中提到"Backpackers don't carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels"和"the lower the price,the better."可知他們不會(huì)去住價(jià)格昂貴的酒店,因?yàn)檎麄(gè)旅途越便宜越好,所以選擇D.
54.B,推理判斷題,文章中提到"A package tour may suit a family's needs,but it's not my cup of tea"說(shuō)明他并不會(huì)經(jīng)常和家人一起出去,A錯(cuò)誤;由"Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes!It was so funny"可知,所有人都趕上了火車,所以C錯(cuò)誤;文中提到"who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer"是和自己的朋友去,所以D錯(cuò)誤;由"the four of us had become really good buddies"可知,四個(gè)人作為朋友,關(guān)系越來(lái)越好,因此選擇B.
55.C,主旨大意題.通過(guò)Betty作為背包客旅行的故事,來(lái)說(shuō)明背包客旅游方式和傳統(tǒng)旅行的不同之處,并以此向人們展示一種可以獲得更大快樂(lè)的背包客旅游方式,所以答案應(yīng)該為C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文主要在說(shuō)背包客的故事.題目涉及到詞義猜測(cè)、推理判斷和主旨大意題,要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行合理地分析才能得出正確答案,切記不能亂猜,一定做到有理有據(jù).

12.Move as Millions,Survive as OneGreat white sharks in the Pacific Ocean.Wildebeest in Africa.Arctic terns in the Atlantic.At first,these animals seem completely different.One swims,one walks,and the other flies.But they all have one thing in common.They all migrate.

The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潛在的) danger.The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (違規(guī)者) and heavily fine drivers for it.

14.I didn't want to be a bodybuilding champion.I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.
Deep,deep down ask myself,"Who do you want to be?"Not what,but who.I'm talking about thinking it out for yourself,"What makes you happy?"
You have to think outside the box.That's what I believe,after all.What's the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble?
We have so many rules in life about everything.I say break the rules.Don't break the law,but break the rules.
I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuiling career I wanted to act.I wanted to be a star in films.Everyone had the same thought that I couldn't be done.They said,"Look at this body,you have this huge monstrous(巨大的)body,you're overly developed."They thought I wouldn't fit into movies.But I didn't listen to them.Those were their rules.I was completely certain that I could do it.
Then I got my big break(重大轉(zhuǎn)機(jī))in Conan the Barbarian.That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
On that moveie the director said,"If we didn't have Schwarzenegger,we would have to build one."Then when I did  The Terminator,I said,"I'll be back…"One of the famous lines in movie history,all because of my crazy accent(腔調(diào)).It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can't do something.
Don't be afraid to fail.In everything that I have tried,I've always been willing to fail.Don't be afraid of making decisions.You can't be paralyzed(嚇倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself.You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination.You know it's the right thing to do and success will come.Don't be afraid to fail.
