13．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 many，80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave 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 15minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas，the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers，as overall they will be downhill．A long，roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short，direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．
Eat
Food choice depends largely on where you are，so see the respective sections for more information about foods．As you will be working hard，it's important to get enough energy in your food．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 if the need arises．
Sleep
While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists．However，there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists．If you are exploring an unfamiliar world，asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel．

分析 文章大意：本文主要讲了骑自行车旅行的好处，但是要考虑骑车的距离、地理环境以及吃住等方面的问题．
解答 33．B 细节理解题．根据文章第二段最后一句话For many，80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，…可知对许多人来说，一天骑80-100公里是最合适的距离，因此答案选B（90km）．
34．C 推理判断题．根据文章第四段最后一句话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 if the need arises．可知在长途骑行时，不容易找到很好的食物，因此A项错误；根据文章最后一段第一句话While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists．可知尽管你会带着帐篷，但是许多旅馆都会为骑行者提供住宿，因此B项错误；C项的表述与第三段中"A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb，you should add an extra 15minutes to your journey time…"表达的意思是一样的，因此不符合题干要求，要排除．根据文章第三段最后一句A long，roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short，direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain可知骑车穿过山可能会有挑战，但是却很值得，因此答案为C．
35．D 推理判断题．根据本文大意可知，这是关于骑自行车旅行的一些要注意的事项，因此可以在旅行杂志上面能看到，因此答案选D．
