2020洛阳三模英语试题及参考答案(3)

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer j climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies(经济)rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的）tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country ——is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word ： a “staycation”.

In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽）of East Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.

32. Why do more British people take their holidays in their own country?

A. The Internet makes them closer.

B. They are wealthier and more sociable.

33. What does the underlined word “staycation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

Each summer, Craig Stihler and Jack Wallace, scientists for the state of West Virginia hike to Peacock Cave to count Virginia big-eared bats.  36 . They want to see if the number of bats is going up or down.

I was there to learn about the bats for my book. After we arrived at the small entrance to Peacock Cave, Craig and Jack unpacked their equipment. Crale said, “ 37  .Hibernating (冬眠)bats may be awakened and fly around and burn up the fat they've stored in their bodies. Without that food supply, they might not live until spring when they can eat insects again. And bat mothers may drop their babies. “

As night settled in，they set up a night-vision scope (观察仪器）. 38  .They also set up a radio-like bat detector outside the cave. It picks up bat sounds that our ears can’t hear. For the next two hours, Craig counted the bats by speaking into a handheld voice recorder each time five bats flew out of the cave.
