南京市2020-2021学年度第一学期期末学情调研试卷第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
AThe return of the road tripPeople are eager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution? A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they’re encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one’s vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs (细菌) are in your space.The prioritization (优先) of cleanlinessTravelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We’re about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a 24-hour waiting period between bookings.The new appeal of natureTravelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them. That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with. This could be the start of the golden age of camping, as people want to get outside while keeping social distance. ________________Health is at the forefront of everyone’s minds these days, and it is safe to say it’ll stay there for a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel’s CEO James told The Times, “If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking.”21. Taking a road trip is encouraged to ______.A. replace a tiring journey by airB. prevent germs from spreadingC. improve drivers’ control of the vehicleD. promote local economic development22. What can we learn from the passage?A. Hotels should put comfort in the first place.B. Travelers should book a room 24 hours ahead.C. Camping is a good choice to avoid crowds.D. People tend to get sick after staying long indoors.23. What is the best title for Paragraph 5?A. The rise of health tourism.B. The routine of keeping fit.C. The benefit of getting active.D. The importance of health care.“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds…. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking.Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the only way for humans to last far into the future is to colonize (殖民) other planets. That way, if an asteroid (小行星), a terrible disease, or some other disaster strikes Earth, we would still have a chance. Mars is one of the best choices. NASA, the private company SpaceX, and other organizations all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we go out of existence,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said.But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan. The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars task would be better spent on more important projects here on Earth, like dealing with poverty or climate change. Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet. In addition, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there. Mars seems uninhabited, but it could possibly host some life. Human visitors may destroy this life or change the Martian environment forever.What do you think? Should humans colonize outer space or stay at home?24. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ______.A. provide an explanationB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. introduce a topic25. In Paragraph 2, many experts recommend colonizing Mars in order to______.A. protect humans from dying outB. make Hawking’s dream come trueC. seek more space for humans to live inD. encourage different organizations to compete26. For what reason are some scientists against colonizing Mars?A. Out of space, out of mind.B. Monet should be well spent.C. East or west, home is the best.D. One should mind his own business.27. What’s the author’s attitude towards colonizing Mars?A. Confident.B. Doubtful.C. Objective.D. SupportiveWhich hand do you use to write your name? Which foot do you use to kick a ball? You probably use the same hand or foot. That’s called your dominant side.About 90 percent of humans are right-handed. Scientists want to know whether other animals also have dominant sides. So they give simple challenges to zoo animals and pets.At first, chimpanzees (大猩猩) appeared to be left-handed. Dr. Hopkins watched chimpanzees as they went “ants fishing”, using sticks to pull ants out. Most of the chimps did the job with their left hand. However, when chimpanzees ate butter from a narrow pipe, they tended to use the left hand to do the easy part (hold the pipe) and a finger on the right hand to the hard part (reach in for the treat).Does that mean chimpanzees are left-handed for some tasks and right-handed for the others? That’s not likely. Dr. Hopkins says the chimps may have used the weaker hand to pull out the ants and the dominant hand to hit the insects and put them in mouths.But how about other animals? Dr. Wells wondered if cats are right- or left-pawed. At the beginning, he gave the cats the simple task of moving across the floor. The cats showed no preference; they used either paw. Dr. Wells also made the cats perform given movements. The researcher dropped a small fish into a can and wrote down which paw each cat used to fish out the treat. All of the female cats except one used the right paw. For males, 19 out of 21 used the left paw. Dr. Wells tested each cat many times to make sure it really preferred to use one paw instead of the other.28. In Paragraph 1, the word “dominant” can be replaced by “______”.A. gentleB. powerfulC. oppositeD. unique29. What can we learn from Dr. Hopkins’ research?A. Chimpanzees use right hands for tough tasks.B. About 10 percent of humans are left-handed.C. Chimpanzees get the treat with the weaker hands.D. Left hands are more important in getting the butter out.30. Dr. Wells probably agreed that ______.A. moving across the floor was a challenging task for catsB. various foods were necessary to carry out a scientific studyC. cats used different paws each time in the repeated testsD. male and female cats had the opposite choice to get the fish31. As to “whether other animals also have dominant sides”, the two scientists ______.A. saw eye to eye with each otherB. discovered it was not a simple yes or noC. raised different animals to seek the truthD. worked together to perform experimentsDHello! Wait! Don’t run away. Yes, I know I am a roach. So, what’s wrong with that?You are speaking to the most successful species on the planet, you know! We’ve been around for 350 million years!So what’s the secret of our success? Sure, we’ve had plenty of enemies. If you’re small and full of protein, everything wants to eat you. So what did we do? We got quick, is what. We learned to hide, is what. We can squeeze so flat that we can fit through a gap no bigger than a coin. Really! I dare you, try it.And we never skip a meal! What do we eat? What have you got? Rotting leaves, garbage, glue, paper, leather…and if you like to eat dead things, I tell you, the world is your refrigerator! But just don’t offer me a cucumber or plastics!Once humans came along, we went everywhere humans went. In ships, on planes, in camel packs across the desert. Roach road trip! We even followed them to space! That’s Uncle Anton. He hid on board the Apollo capsule --- he was so mad when they just came right back to earth.You can’t have too many roaches, I say. Now there are 4,000 species of us: Asian, American, German (I)hope you get to meet them all someday.Some of the family get pretty strange. That’s Reginald. He thinks if he pretends to be a firefly, birds won’t eat him. That’s tough old Aunt Flo. She worked for some scientists trying to figure out ways to get rid of us… ha! Poison, radiation, heat, cold… whatever they throw at us, we just get tougher. Bring it on!Aw, look, that’s me just after my 15 brothers and sisters and I hatched (孵化) out from our egg case. Yeah, I look pretty much the same. That’s another roach wonder --- we skip the larva stage (幼虫期). Our eggs hatch all ready to roll! Still pretty cute, though.Yep, that’s how we got to be the most successful species on the planet!32. What may contribute to a roach’s success?①being flexible ②running like wind③being full of protein ④raising many babiesA. ①②③B. ②③④C. ①③④D. ①②④33. According to Paragraph5, who is Uncle Anton?A. A hero.B. A spaceman.C. A roach.D. A traveler.34. What can we learn about roaches from the article?A. They can almost roll when they are brought to the word.B. Their number is coming down thanks to scientist’ efforts.C. Their home is usually equipped with a refrigerator full of foods.D. They are getting along quite well with other species on the planet.35. What is the tone of the passage?A. Pitiful.B. Anxious.C. Serious.D. Humorous.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was not too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community(社区), using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings. Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old. On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.5. When Mary said she was too old to learn, the author________.A. did not agree with herB. felt sad and decided to help herC. became disappointed with herD. thought what she had said was true6. Why did Mary call the author one day in her sixties?A. To ask him for some help.B. To tell him about her plan.C. To ask him to make a CD. D. To talk about her new CD.7. The author thought it________ for Mary to make a CD.A. impossibleB. interestingC. unnecessaryD. difficult8. What does the text mainly tell us?A. We should always learn new skills.B. We’re never too old to learn.C. Interest is the best teacher.D. Some people succeed for a reasonCMy wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的)restaurant to give it a try.As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn’t aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother’s. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers. I left the waiters a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were on our way.I’ve been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention. We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to pay for someone else’s meal.9. Why did Debra go out after trying some tofu?A. To bring her mother in.B. To look after her mother.C. To get away from the food.D. To look for another restaurant.10. What did Debra insist on?A. Hugging the author’s wife.B. Ordering a meal for the author.C.

What can we know about the author and Debra?A. They’ve been friends.B. They were both vegans.C. They met for the first time.D. They once worked together.DAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap –even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.13.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text？A．They eat too much for lunch.B．They sleep too little at night.C．Their body temperature becomes lower.D．The weather becomes a lot warmer.14.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap？A．About 12:30 pm. B．About 1:30 pm.C．About 2:30 pm. D．About 3:30 pm.15.Why do employers not allow workers to take naps？A．taking naps is no good for health.B．taking naps may lead to heart attack.C．taking naps may lead to low working efficiency.D．taking naps takes up the working time and reduces production.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Daily news．2.Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms（节奏）of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime."At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert（警醒的）."More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.（1）What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people's sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.（2）What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.（3）What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.（4）What do the researchers think of "first night effect"?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It's a characteristic that animals don't have.C.It's completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people get used to new environments quickly.3.The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C（维生素C）, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的）promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.（1）What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.Exciting.B.Boring.C.Relaxing.D.Annoying.（2）What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A.Having a swim.B.Breathing in fresh air.C.Walking in the morning sun.D.Visiting a local farmers' market.（3）What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A.They are soft.B.They look nice.C.They taste great.D.They are juicy.（4）What was the author going to do that evening?A.Go to a farm.B.Check into a hotel.C.Eat in a restaurant.D.Buy fresh vegetables.4. The comebackFausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he was born fifty years ago, and to which he had been away for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings were exactly the same, although many of the old shops were there no more.He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small cafè there which was the same as it had been. Walking into the cafè, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the waiter working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They were ignoring him.Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the cafè. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I never came back.He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back and held a concert in the theatre.The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his hometown that night, and he said that he would never, ever go back there ever again.Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he had been born.He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, but they, too, ignored him.He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I a m the great Fausto Ruiz!!!The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” Nobody took any notice of him.When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house, there was a statue （雕塑）, and it was a statue of himself. “Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody has recognized my genius!”Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue. “Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it. There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date, and it was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.（1）When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz really expected________.A.to see the great changes in his hometownB.that the people as old as him could remember who he wasC.that the people could still appreciate his singingD.to tell the people there that he could still recognize them（2）Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?A.His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.B.Too much admiration for him and his singing.C.What the people did to him in the theater.D.His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.（3）The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people there________.A.thought highly of him and his singingB.became very excited when hearing him singingC.were ignoring him and his singingD.were extremely disappointed in him and his singing（4）We can say that Fausto Ruiz is________according to the story.A.open-minded and humorousB.ignorant and stupidC.lively and cheerfulD.sensitive and proud二、七选五阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Now scientists are bringing this ancient 32 up-to-date. They’re 33 why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn.Researchers have found that students who teach others work harder to 34 the material, and apply it more 35 . Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who’re learning only for themselves. But how can children, 36 learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can teach younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more 37 than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This 38 their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.Now educators are experimenting with ways to 39 this model to schoolwork. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who then 40 instruct middle school students on the 41 . But the most cutting-edge tool is the “teachable agent” --- a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world42 . Computer scientists have 43 an animated (动画的) figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about science by middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty 44 certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and45 their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own 46 .Feedback from the teachable agents 47 improves the teachers’learning. The agents’questions drive student teachers to think and explain the materials in different 48 , and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action 49 , it’s theemotions one experiences in teaching that help learning.

2020_2021学年江苏南京高一上学期期末英语试卷详解版
2020~2021学年江苏南京高一上学期期末英语试卷(详解)一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2.5分，共37.5分）1. A.replace a tiring journey by air B.prevent germs from spreading（1）The return of the road tripPeople are eager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution?A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they're encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one's vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs （细菌）are in your space.The prioritization （优先）of cleanlinessTravelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We're about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a 24-hour waiting period between bookings.The new appeal of natureTravelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them. That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with.This could be the start of the golden age of camping, as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.Health is at the forefront of everyone's minds these days, and it is safe to say it'll stay therefore a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel's CEO James told The Times , "If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking."Taking a road trip is encouraged to .C.improve drivers' control of the vehicleD.promote local economic developmentA.B.C.D.（2）A.The rise of health tourismB.The routine of keeping fitC.The benefit of getting activeD.The importance of health care（3）（1）（2）（3）【答案】（1）（2）（3）【解析】What can we learn from the passage?Hotels should put comfort in the first place.Travelers should book a room 24 hours ahead.Camping is a good choice to avoid crowds.People tend to get sick after staying long indoors.What is the best title for Paragraph 5?DCA本文是一篇说明文。
