Question

【題目】Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.

To travel far enough to meet yourself

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.【1】You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.

【2】

If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.

To slow down and relax

A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our finger.

【3】The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.【4】

To celebrate life

Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.【5】

A. Travelling lets you discover yourself

【解析】試題分析：人們?yōu)槭裁绰糜�？本文講述了四條旅游的原因：旅游讓你更好地認(rèn)識(shí)自己；旅游讓你走出自己的舒適區(qū)；旅游讓你放慢生活的速度去放松；旅游讓你感激生活。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上文“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.”和下文“When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of”可知，有時(shí)候，你在偏僻的地方會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)真實(shí)的自己；當(dāng)你處于不同的生活方式中，你能夠弄清楚你是什么樣的，因此推斷旅行讓你發(fā)現(xiàn)真實(shí)的自己。故選A。

【2】考查段落大意。根據(jù)下文“If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone.”可知，如果你回顧生活中那些令人驚異的回憶，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們大多數(shù)發(fā)生在你的舒適區(qū)之外。因此推斷本段講述旅游讓你突破你的舒適區(qū)。故選B。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上一段可知，一個(gè)智者曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，永遠(yuǎn)不要忙著謀生，而忘記了自己的生活。當(dāng)我們深深地投入到賺錢(qián)中的時(shí)候，我們會(huì)忘記時(shí)間是從我們的指尖溜走的，因此要短暫的遠(yuǎn)離生活，因?yàn)榻?jīng)歷比金錢(qián)要更有價(jià)值。故選F。

【4】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上文“The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.”可知，遠(yuǎn)離工作場(chǎng)所的感覺(jué)是純粹的幸福，不用擔(dān)心沒(méi)完沒(méi)了的文件堆的感覺(jué)是純粹的快樂(lè)。因此推斷E項(xiàng)“遠(yuǎn)離喝彩聲的感覺(jué)是純粹的快樂(lè)”符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上文“Life is short and the world is wide.”和“Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.”可知，生活是短暫的，世界是廣闊的，偶爾騰出時(shí)間來(lái)感激你仍舊健在，年輕，自由和健康。因此推斷C項(xiàng)“因此，去旅游本身就是在感激生活”符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。
