Question

【题目】Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.

To travel far enough to meet yourself

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.【1】You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.

If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.

To slow down and relax

A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our finger.

【3】The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.【4】

To celebrate life

Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.【5】

【解析】试题分析：人们为什么旅游？本文讲述了四条旅游的原因：旅游让你更好地认识自己；旅游让你走出自己的舒适区；旅游让你放慢生活的速度去放松；旅游让你感激生活。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.”和下文“When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of”可知，有时候，你在偏僻的地方会发现真实的自己；当你处于不同的生活方式中，你能够弄清楚你是什么样的，因此推断旅行让你发现真实的自己。故选A。

【2】考查段落大意。根据下文“If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone.”可知，如果你回顾生活中那些令人惊异的回忆，你会发现它们大多数发生在你的舒适区之外。因此推断本段讲述旅游让你突破你的舒适区。故选B。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上一段可知，一个智者曾经说过，永远不要忙着谋生，而忘记了自己的生活。当我们深深地投入到赚钱中的时候，我们会忘记时间是从我们的指尖溜走的，因此要短暂的远离生活，因为经历比金钱要更有价值。故选F。

【4】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文“The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.”可知，远离工作场所的感觉是纯粹的幸福，不用担心没完没了的文件堆的感觉是纯粹的快乐。因此推断E项“远离喝彩声的感觉是纯粹的快乐”符合语境。故选E。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文“Life is short and the world is wide.”和“Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.”可知，生活是短暂的，世界是广阔的，偶尔腾出时间来感激你仍旧健在，年轻，自由和健康。因此推断C项“因此，去旅游本身就是在感激生活”符合语境。故选C。
