However, by doing some research and using three_little_words,_you could ‎ end up saving a lot of money on accommodations. ‎ First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”， don't press the book button on the website just yet. ‎ After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly—not any of the customer service or 1—800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then you're going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”， your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate”. According to experts at Travel ＋ Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation. ‎ If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them. ‎ Just don't wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel ＋ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eightday stay. ‎ ‎(　　)56. What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A. A special discount. B. The best deal. ‎ C. The lowest rate. D. Cheapest nonrefundable rate. ‎ ‎(　　)57. According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to ________．‎ A. call the target hotels to bargain with the staff ‎ B. collect and compare the prices found online C. book hotels just before your departure time ‎ D. turn to hotel booking sites for a discount B There is a 1930sold restaurant in my hometown that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone. ‎ Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever. ‎ For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard. ‎ Even at home, phone calls used to be regarded as private. Growing up in the 1960s, we had one phone in the house—fixed to the kitchen wall. ‎ As a kid, I didn't get or make many calls. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. She'd take it, say “Hello, Mrs Flaubert，” and then, “one moment please，” as she placed her hand over the receiver, turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don't you go outside and play？”‎ Flashforward to what cellphones have done to this idyll. Within the space of very few years, ‎ private conversations have become public declaration, and being overheard seems to be the point. A large part of the problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us, and the reflex(反射) to answer the device as soon as it rings is a response Pavlov would have appreciated. ‎ But the information is revealed! Not long ago I was sitting in Boston's South Station, waiting for my train. After purchasing a sandwich, I sat down at a table near a man who was on his cellphone. ‎ Let me paraphrase what the man had to say: “Yes, that's right. The red and yellow roses. That will be a Visa.” Then he proceeded to recite his card number and expiration date before signing off.‎ ‎ I stared unbelievably at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked, “What？”‎ My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date. ‎ There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits and the cellphone has become a loudspeaker. ‎ To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? And should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $4，750.‎ ‎(　　)58. Why do private conversations turn into public declaration according to the passage?‎ A. Phone booths have died out in modern life. ‎ B. People lack a sense of personal borders or limits. ‎ C. The content of phone calls is not that sensitive. ‎ D. It is convenient for people to reach for cellphones. ‎ ‎(　　)59. By describing what happened in Boston's South Station, the author indicates that ________. ‎ A. it's ridiculous to answer cellphones in public places B. it's impolite to overhear others answering cellphones C. it's necessary to keep a safe distance from others when answering phones D. it's inappropriate to touch on personal information in cellphone conversations ‎(　　)60. What can we conclude from the passage?‎ A. Pavlov is in favor of answering cellphones instantly. ‎ B. Something seemingly oldfashioned holds its charm today. ‎ C. Phone booths are very popular with consumers on the Internet. ‎ D. People used to lack a sense of trust and security in the 1960s. ‎ C One day in 1995, a large, heavy middleaged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice，” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible. ‎ The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “DunningKruger effect”， and describes the cognitive bias to inflate selfassessment.‎ To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than twothirds of the other students! ‎ Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semesterlong study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”‎ Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately selfassess their abilities. As much as D and Fgrade students overestimate their abilities, Agrade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their selfassessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot. ‎ ‎(　　)61. Which of the following statements about the DunningKruger effect is true?‎ A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life. ‎ B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities. ‎ C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities. ‎ D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies. ‎ ‎(　　)62. What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?‎ A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability. ‎ B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice. ‎ C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately. ‎ D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments. ‎ ‎(　　)63. The underlined word “begets” can be replaced by ________．‎ A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of 　C. makes up for D. breaks away from ‎(　　)64. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance. ‎ B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence. ‎ C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure. ‎ D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves. ‎ D In A History of Reading, the Canadian novelist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century A．D.: the arrival ‎ of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent reading, Manguel writes, … the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The reader's thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books. ‎ ‎__①__ To read silently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The Internet's flood of information, together with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carr's view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the greatest dangers we face，” he writes, “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”‎ ‎__②__ There's no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical perspective, digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential to expand the very contemplative(沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips. ‎ ‎__③__ In the fifth century B．C., Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼杀) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes in her 2007 book Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the reader's brain develops new capacities. ‎ ‎__④__ The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wandering off all along. When we read, the eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades—little jumps—and brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouse's cursor across a screen of hypertext. ‎ It's true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do worse on recall and comprehension tests than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of highschool students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students who regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog. ‎ A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the first Gulf War. The story is told in text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the chief character, his eyes opening on the world. Pinch your fingers shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating. ‎ ‎(　　)65. In Alberto Manguel's opinion, silent reading ________. ‎ A. is an abnormal thing to human consciousness B. offers readers' mind freedom and time to think C. strengthens readers' power of memory and reflection D. allows readers to gain an insight into books and words ‎(　　)66. Why is digital technology considered to have endangered our being?‎ A. It presents challenges to the reading brain. ‎ B. It harms our humanness and humanity gradually. ‎ C. It is very likely to expand our contemplative space. ‎ D. It leaves our thoughts and memories out of control. ‎ ‎(　　)67. The sentence “The fear of technology is not new.” should be placed in ________．‎ A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④‎ ‎(　　)68. What can we infer from Johannes Naumann's study?‎ A. It's easier to collect information on the Internet than in books.‎ B. People's habit of using the Internet influences their performance. ‎ C. The Internet isn't supposed to be used as a tool of entertainment. ‎ D. Paper reading is better than screen reading in improving comprehension.‎ ‎(　　)69. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________. ‎ A. introduce the occurrence of a reading revolution B. show the technology employed in digital reading C. prove digital reading not shallow but attractive D. illustrate the impact digital reading has on our life ‎(　　)70. What is probably the best title for the passage?‎ A. The deep space of digital reading B. The timely arrival of silent reading C. The development of traditional reading D. The potential damage of electronic books 第四部分　任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。‎ While a brute force approach to learning may get the job done, it's not necessarily the best study plan. We dug through scientific research to identify five study methods that are recommended by cognitive scientists. These study tips may improve the efficiency of how you study, helping you to learn more in less time and keep it longer. ‎ Don't Wait Until the Last Minute Parents and teachers often warn that cramming for exams isn't the best way to get good grades. There's science to back this up. Researchers found that final test results improved when studying was spaced out over time. This spacing effect has been repeatedly studied, and one research experiment found a 36% improvement in grades because of spacing out study sessions. By spacing out study sessions, there's a neural(神经的) process of learning, forgetting a little bit, and relearning. These cycles are what build stronger memory. ‎ Use Practice Tests Using practice tests while preparing for exams can help you improve your performance. This learning strategy isn't just about becoming familiar with a testing format; it's about reinforcing the brain's memory. ‎ Remember that rereading material can refresh your awareness, but it won't help you build the memory recall skills that can help you know the correct answer during your exam. A better way to ‎ study is to use flashcards or sample quizzes from your textbook. ‎ Do One Thing at a Time Research shows that multitasking isn't good for your memory, so when you're studying, that's the only thing you should be doing. Consider your brainpower similar to your Internet bandwidth. Multiple downloads at the time will slow things down. Similarly, multitasking causes an increased cognitive load for your brain, reducing your ability to pay attention to what you're learning. ‎ In fact, researchers found that even minimal multitasking has an effect. Something as simple as walking around a track while learning vocabulary words caused a 17% reduction in test scores. ‎ Add Variety While it's a good idea to only study for one subject at a time, scientists found that alternating between subtopics could dramatically improve memory. ‎ This process, known as interleaving, means that you'll cycle through about three subtopics, learning a little bit more about each during each cycle. Once you've fully studied this set and have an understanding of the material, you can move on to the next set and repeat the pattern. ‎ Teach a Friend It's long been said that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. Known as the “protégé effect”， this learning theory dates back to ancient Rome. ‎ The reason the study technique has lasted so long is that it's effective. Researchers found that even explaining class material to yourself could result in three times better test scores than those of other students, putting you well ahead. ‎ Five learning strategies to be (71)____________ in your study Passage outline Supporting details Don't wait until ‎ the last minute ‎ •There is scientific evidence to (72)____________ the fact that cramming for exams does not necessarily bring about good grades. ‎ ‎•Instead of spacing out study sessions, students tend to prepare for their tests in a (73)____________.‎ Use practice tests ‎•Practice tests are not merely intended to make students (74)____________ with testing formats but reinforce the brain's memory. ‎ ‎•Rereading material can make you (75)____________ of what you've learnt, while flashcards or sample quizzes can build memory recall skills.‎ ‎(76)____________ ‎ multitasking Multiple tasks can reduce the ability to focus on what is being learned. ‎ Involve subtopics ‎ in your study ‎•Studying for one subject at a time is recommended, but alternating between subtopics leads to dramatic (77)____________ in memory. ‎ ‎•Interleaving is a learning process where students learn about three subtopics in each (78)____________.‎ Teach a friend ‎•“Protégé effect” is a learning theory in which students can (79) ____________ from teaching someone else. ‎ ‎•Explaining class material to oneself may (80)____________.‎ 第五部分　书面表达(满分25分)‎ ‎81. 请阅读下面文字和图表，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Chinese tourism industry is relatively young but very attractive. With 288 billion dollars spent worldwide in 2018, Chinese tourists' spending represents a quarter of global tourism spending. ‎ Nowadays traveling is easier than some years ago and visiting a foreign country is as common as moving in China.

Indeed, more than 71 million Chinese tourists travelled abroad in 2018, 15 percent more than the previous year. This phenomenon is due to different factors, the first one being rising incomes. The middleclass has the means to travel outside China. The second one is an increase in online information with a content of quality. Word of mouth and recommendations from friends are the most favored source of information of Chinese tourists. The third factor would be friendlier visa policies from foreign governments. ‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2. 结合上述信息，用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：‎ ‎(1) 你对“境外旅游热”持什么观点？说明你的理由(至少两点)；‎ ‎(2) 若你所在城市正大力推广本地旅游业，你认为应该采取哪些促进措施。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ 周测卷（英语）答案 第二部分英语知识运用 第一节单项填空 ‎21.

D细节理解题。根据划线的这个句子的意思可知用这三个字可以节省很多住宿的费用，再根据第三段第三句中的“…your secret weapon here is to use the phrase ‘cheapest nonrefundable rate’”；以及第三段最后一句“that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.”可知“Cheapest nonrefundable rate”这三个字是节省住宿费的神器。‎ ‎57. A细节理解题。根据第三段中“After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly…Then you’re going to drop some magic words”可知最好的订购酒店方式是打电话给目标酒店，与之讨价还价。‎ B ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文主要阐述了电话亭这个过时的设备在当今社会仍然有它的好处，至少它能给使用电话的人提供一个私密的空间，确保他们谈话的内容不被窃听。随着手机的普及，人们随时随地都可以使用手机进行交流，但是有时候他们却忽视了保护自己的隐私。‎ ‎58. D推理判断题。根据文章第六段的内容可知在短短几年的时间里，私人对话已经成为公开声明。其主要原因是我们现在随身携带手机，一旦手机响了，第一反应就是去接，不注意隐私。‎ ‎59. C推理判断题。在波士顿南站作者听到一个人在电话里面把他的信用卡号和有效期大声说出来了，作者听得清清楚楚，甚至可以一点不差地背出来。这个故事说明接听电话的时候要注意保护自己的隐私，与他人要保持一定的距离，防止说话的内容被窃听。‎ ‎60. B推理判断题。根据第一至三段的内容，特别是第三段最后一句“In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard.”可知电话亭虽然过时了，但是它却能为使用电话的人提供一个私密的空间，确保他们谈话的内容不被窃听，所以电话亭在当代社会也还是有它的价值所在的。所以说如今似乎有些过时的东西还是很有魅力的。‎ C ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文主要阐述了“邓宁—克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自己的思路，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，麻木自信，固执己见。‎ ‎61. C细节理解题。 根据第二段的内容，特别是其中的“some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are.”以及“…Dunning-Kruger effect, and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.”可知邓宁—克鲁格效应指的是那些过度高估自己能力的，过度自信的人。‎ ‎62. B细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.”可知，能力差的人不会去反思自己的不正确的方法，而是坚持他们的方法是正确的。所以说他们非常固执。‎ ‎63. A词义猜测题。引用查尔斯达尔文作品中的这句话，是对上面的研究结果进行归纳总结。上面的研究表明无知的人更加麻木地自信。所以这句话的意思是“无知比知识更容易产生自信。” beget= give rise to“产生”的意思。‎ ‎64. A本文主要阐述了“邓宁—克鲁格效应”。研究表明有能力的人会根据各方面的反馈来调整自己的思路，而无知的人往往看不到自己的不足，麻木自信，固执己见。所以真正的知识是了解一个人无知的程度。‎ D ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论的是数字阅读时代会不会让我们失去思考能力，让我们陷入记者尼古拉斯·卡尔所说的“浅滩”？数字阅读的深层空间是什么？‎ ‎65. D推理判断题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是最后一句“The reader’s thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books.” 默读可以让读者的大脑腾出空间去思考、记忆、发问以及比较，为进一步地透彻理解创造可能。‎ ‎66. B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话 “One of the greatest dangers we face，…, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”可知答案。‎ ‎67. C推理判断题。要添加进去的那句话的意思是说对于科技的恐惧不是新的，换句话说就是对于科技的恐惧由来已久，所以这句话后面的段落肯定要举例以前的事情，看到第四段第一句话，in the fifth century B.C，所以放在这段开头。‎ ‎68. B推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句话中的“…he found that the students who regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and ‎ blog.”可知在网上做研究的人的表现比用网络发电子邮件，聊天的人要好一些。所以人们上网的习惯会影响他们的表现。‎ ‎69. C细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features.”和最后一句“Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating.”可知用Pry这个例子是为了说明新一代网络作家注重互动。这本小说一点也不肤浅，很注重外表与灵魂的统一，很有吸引力。‎ ‎70. A标题归纳题。文章第一段谈到默读是人类阅读的一大进步，它能让人反思，仔细品味作品。第二段开始讨论电子书籍的出现会不会让人们阅读的时候失去这种思考的能力，让我们陷入记者尼古拉斯·卡尔所说的“浅滩”？对此看法不一。从电子阅读表示某种崭新事物的角度来讲，会有两种不同的可能性。产生不好的影响，网络使我们变成了不节制的、无止尽的点击者；但是从好的角度来讲，互联网给我们提供、增大自默读以来我们内部的思考空间。第一段是提供背景，导入文章的主题；第二段开始提出主题，电子书籍会不会影响我们的思考能力，数字阅读的深层空间是什么？所以用“The deep space of digital reading”作为文章的主题比较适合。‎ 第四部分任务型阅读 ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文主要介绍几种可能提高你学习的效率，帮助你在更短的时间内学到更多，并保持更长时间的学习技巧。‎ ‎71. efficient/effective第一段第三句“These study tips may improve the efficiency of how you study,…”这些小妙招可以提高学习效率，也就是使你在学习过程中变得高效。名词改形容词。‎ ‎72. support第二段第一、二句“…There’s science to back this up.”这个言论是有科学依据的。back something up支持某事。‎ ‎73. hurry/rush第二段第一句“Parents and teachers often warn that cramming for exams isn’t the best way to get good grades.”老师和家长经常警告临时抱佛脚不是获得好分数的最好方法。这里是说有些学生不是经常复习阶段所学的内容（spacing out study sessions ）而是考试之前匆匆忙忙地搞突击，这样效果很不好。in a hurry/rush匆忙的。‎ ‎74. familiar原词重现。第三段第二句“…isn’t just about becoming familiar with a testing format; it’s about reinforcing the brain’s memory.”模拟习题不仅让你熟悉公式，还强化了大脑记忆。be familiar with对某事熟悉。‎ ‎75. aware第四段第一句“Remember that re-reading material can refresh your awareness.”重新阅读材料可以刷新你的认知，也就是让你认识到你所学的。be aware of意识到某事。‎ ‎76. Avoid第五段整段在说多任务的坏处，也就是要一心一意，避免一心多用。‎ ‎77. improvement根据第七段中的“…scientists found that alternating between subtopics could dramatically improve memory.”可知答案。动词improve 转化成improvement。‎ ‎78. cycle原词重现。根据第八段第一句中“…learning a little bit more about each during each cycle.”可知答案。‎ ‎79. benefit根据第九段第一句“…the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else.”，教别人也是一种学习的最好方法，可以从中受益。benefit from从某事受益。‎ ‎80. work/help 结合第十段，向自己复述解释材料也可以有助于提高学习成绩。‎ 第五部分书面表达 ‎【参考范文1】‎ According to the passage and diagram, rising income, abundant online travel information and friendlier visa policies have really boosted Chinese tourism industry in a totally convincing way, especially outbound trips.‎ With our living standards improving, people have a preference for travelling abroad. However, I will undoubtedly choose to travel domestically. First of all, there may be language barriers even if you have learned a second language, and cultural impacts are very likely to ruin your vacation. Second, travelling abroad takes more time. You have to undergo certain processes to get a visa and spend longer hours travelling from place to place.‎ As an advocate for travelling domestically, I have some practical suggestions for the local government, which is determined to improve local tourism. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.‎ ‎【参考范文2】‎ According to the passage and diagram, rising income, abundant online travel information and friendlier visa policies have really boosted Chinese tourism industry in a totally convincing way, especially outbound trips.‎ As our living standards are improving, it is possible to visit more countries to broaden our horizons. I think Chinese people travel abroad to see a new country and experience a different culture. Meanwhile, it is also a journey during which we can exhibit Chinese image and soft power to our foreign friends, which can promote mutual understanding as well as improving our language abilities.‎ If our local government is determined to improve local tourism, I believe it can follow the footsteps of some major cities around the world and take action now. Convenient transport is of primary importance as well as local infrastructure. Our local government should concentrate its efforts on bringing out our uniqueness rather than developing tourism aimlessly.‎
