Answer 1

分析 徒步旅行是一种外出长途徒步的一种活动，人们经常在山里徒步旅行，全世界很对人都喜欢的运动，一些人喜欢探险，其他的是希望能减压保持健康，远足花费不大，任何季节任何天气都可以．

解答 71．explore．词意猜测题．结合to travel to or around a place in order to learn about it为了了解一个地方去旅行，可知是表示探险，结合Some hikers enjoy exploring nature，结合首字母用explore．
72．benefit．词意猜测题．结合an advantage which something gives you指的是某事给你带来的好处，也就是获益，结合People are fond of hiking because of two main benefits，结合首字母用benefit．
73．spend．动词考查．cost表示花费，根据下文主语people指的是人，故用spend花费，前面是don't否定，后用原形spend．  
74．hiking．非谓语考查．结合spend+时间+doing sth，花时间做某事，结合上文是说远足花费不大，故用动词hike，故答案是hiking．
75．In mountains．细节题．结合People often go hiking in mountains可知是在山里远足，故答案是In mountains．

点评 阅读题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据所给问题选择正确选项完成试题．
