Question

【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be only used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Sept 27 is World Tourism Day. Of course, travel isn’t a new discovery. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese 【1】, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.

And how 【2】 must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the 【3】 of the Silk Road.

Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Nowadays, more people are traveling than ever before. By train, plane and car, people all around the globe are 【4】 to places that people didn’t even know 【5】 a few centuries ago, or only knew from books.

Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on the TV, and the White House, and all the other famous 【6】 But none of that would compare to the 【7】 of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into 【8】.

Although travel is often just for fun, it’s also 【9】. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.

We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is 【10】 a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”
