With the development of apps,social media has seemingly revolutionized the way
we travel.Now , young people primary travel inspiration comes from social
media.Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel
agent like before,they scroll(滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal
location.
When it comes to planning the perfect holiday,social media has become a huge
factor for many young people today.Everybody wants to return home with an album
full of artistic and “instagramable” photos that show off their trips.The best way to
find that desired “post-able” holiday destination is now through social media
itself.Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post,or a photo directly from a
travel account,social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of
its users.
Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing
strategies.The majority of airlines,tour companies,hotels and other travel-relatedbusinesses have their own Instagram,Facebook and Twitter pages to increase brand
awareness.One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social
influences.Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional
celebrities—in 2018,1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on
Instagram alone ; and 63 % of 18-24-year-old Instagram users follow travel
influenced account.
However,as with many aspects of social media,there were obvious disadvantages
to this travel revolution.It could be argued that the obsession with documenting and
sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present and truly enjoying
the experience.Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away from a strong desire
to travel and have become more egocentric (自我为中心的),travelling now for the
sake of likes and follows.This draws away from some of the most important elements
of travel.
In general,social media has revolutionized the way we travel,providing tonnes of
inspiration and new opportunities.We should be grateful for the global awareness it
has given us,and the insight into new places and different means of travel.At the
same time,it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self-
image or reflect on our own experiences any differently.
4.How did people get their primary travel inspiration in the past?

B.By viewing friends’ recent travel post.
C.By consulting a travel agent.
D.By scrolling through online posts.
5.Which of the following is right according to the text?
A.Using Internet celebrities is a very effective marketing strategy.
B.Most teenagers trust traditional celebrities more than social influences.
C.The obsession with sharing travel experiences helps to enhance the travel
experience.
D.The travel inspiration of young people mainly comes from the tourism
advertisements.6.What is the author’s attitude to the travel revolution?

C.Worried. D.Disapproving.
7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

“It has nothing in common with anything else on the Bund(外滩),”said Ben
Wood , the American architect behind Shanghai’s famous Xintiandi District ,
commenting on the Fosun Foundation after its completion in 2016.“The great thing
about the Bund is that it’s grand.Perhaps a building that can stand out is needed here
to show that a company is progressive.But it’s not grand.”
For now,however,the Fosun Foundation—a new theatre—is proving popular with
riverside tourists.
Located in the Bund Finance Centre,the theatre was designed by cooperation of two
world-known British design firms:Foster+Partners and Heatherwick Studio.The
architectural highlight is the outward appearance—a golden,three-layered(层),
steel bamboo curtain that hangs from the third floor.But what makes the architecture
really unique is that it “dances”:repeatedly each day,the curtain slowly moves—
opens and closes—with music.This visual element,combining East and West,looks
like both an ancient Chinese crown and a Western harp(竖琴).The building’s ground
floor entrance looks unclear,but once inside,you’ll see the space reveal a hall and
café,and traditional Chinese theatres on the upper floors.Although there’re only four
stories above ground , the building houses several music halls on its three
underground floors.
“The opportunity to make something new in this culturally historic location was
extraordinary,” said Thomas Heatherwick,Heatherwick Studio founder.“We
tried to make it an interesting addition to show Shanghai’s mix of modern and historicarchitecture.”
The Fosun Foundation is only part of a bigger plan for this economic and cultural
centre in China.Along the Huangpu River,a massive waterfront art area is being
built.Shanghai hopes to play a larger role in the global art industry in the coming
years.
What Shanghai makes of this new riverside project remains to be seen.But with the
Fosun Foundation open to the public,the area’s rapid transformation is bringing up
discussions in China’s arts scene and beyond.
8.What did Ben Wood mainly talk about?
A.How to keep the Bund area progressive.
B.Why the Bund area doesn’t stand out.
C.How to make the Fosun Foundation grand.
D.Why the Fosun Foundation doesn’t fit the area.
9.What makes the theatre unusual?
A.The colour of its appearance.
B.The material of the building.
C.The movement of its curtain.
D.The music of a different type.
10.What is Shanghai’s bigger plan for the Bund area?
A.To improve its influence in arts.
B.To bring up more traditional buildings.
C.To strengthen its economic role.
D.To mix modern and historic elements.
11.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the plan?
A.Worried. B.Pessimistic.
C.Cautious. D.Confident.

(2024·山西太原一模)
Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their
leisure.__1__.However , the experience of visiting a museum could be quitedisappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museum goers.
__2____.No matter how much you’re enjoying yourself, many museums can take
hours, days, or even weeks to fully explore.If you try to put it all in, you will get worn
out to the point that you won’t really be seeing anything.Pick a few paintings and
explore them in a detailed way, and your museum experience will be more relaxing.
Have you ever started your visit by waiting in line in front of the museum for a few
hours just to get in? And that’s the sad reality when visiting many of those world-
famous museums.Thus, be smart to browse the instructions for visiting and book in
advance online.__3__.
What if you don’t like some museums?Then don’t visit them!I’m not a massive fan
of parks, so I would hardly ever end up in any park while travelling.__4__.Do they
have a nice collection of an art style you love? Just ask yourself and visit the museum
website to see what the highlights are.
There is nothing worse than impolite manners while visiting.We’ve all witnessed that
guy being yelled at by the security for touching or taking flash
photos.__5__.Otherwise, not only will you absolutely get embarrassed by security
guards, but you can actually ruin artworks!
All of these ground rules are often neglected by us.Bear them in mind before setting
off, and you will enjoy your museum tour!
A.It’s the same with the museums
B.But most of them do it all wrong
C.If you haven’t,don’t let it be you
D.That way you can have an easy access
E.The first step is to research how to enjoy everything
F.Sometimes you may sigh museum tiredness is a real thing
G.Generally,there is no right or wrong way to visit a museum选择性必修第一册 UNIT 3
