1.Tips for Cycle Trips
Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel,as it is the fastest way to travel by human power,and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel.Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.
Distance
On level terrain(地形),without a headwind,a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day.Distances of up to 250km a day are possible,but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit.For many80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for,as it will give a sense of achievement and also lea ve plenty of time for meals and activities.
Geography
The gradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your range.A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb,you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time.In hilly or mountainous areas,the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers,as they will be downhill overall.However,it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain(地形).
Eat
Food choice depends largely on where you are,so see the respective(各自的) sections for more information about foods.On long trips away from major towns,there may be little quality food available,so be prepared to live on candy bars,prepared meat products and the like (and so on) if the need arises.
Sleep
While you can take a tent with you,many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate (provide …a place to stay)cyclists.However,there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.

分析 本文關(guān)于騎車旅行給我們提出了幾條建議,包括騎行距離、地理環(huán)境、吃飯和休息的有關(guān)問題.
解答 33.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"For many,80-100 km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for…"可知,對于很多人來說,每天80至100公里是最合適的距離,故選B.
34.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Geography"部分的內(nèi)容尤其是Thegradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your range.和it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenicroutes often come from hilly terrain(地形).可知,騎車爬山會多花費時間減少行程,但值得一提的是,最美的路線往往來自丘陵地帶.所以騎車爬山是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的,但是卻是值得的.故選D.
35.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)Tips for Cycle Trips騎車旅行小貼士及全文內(nèi)容可知,這篇文章出自旅行雜志.而非地理課本、研究報告或者科學(xué)小說.故選B.
點評 本文是廣告布告類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,從而做出正確的選擇.
