Answers can be as varied as worrying about your budget，trying new dishes at meals，climbing mountains and riding crowded local buses，etc.But to Mishana Khot，a US travel fanatic (狂热者)，travel is “more than just a stamp in your passportit's a stamp in your soul” .On the travel website Vagabondish，Khot listed some ways that you will change after taking a trip.Now，please take a look.Travel shows the big picture.Khot believes we may lose ourselves in our own lives from time to time.“ Sometimes we can't separate our daily existence from the broader perspective (角度)，”she argues.“1 It forces you to see your life from the outside.”2When you are on the way，chances are that you will deal with flight delays, slow buses，bad food, horrible accommodation and much more.As Khot pointed out，if there is one constant in a traveler's life，it is that travel will throw up situations that challenge you.You may have made the most detailed plan，but the next minute something just goes wrong.3Travel makes you more grateful.Whether you travel from a big city to the quiet countryside，or vice versa(反之亦然)，there will come a moment when you are grateful for all you have.“When you meet someone with one leg who is hiking up a hill，you will close your eyes for a second and say thank you，”she said.4During travel，you'll be forced to communicate with many more people than you used to.5 So，just throw away your shyness.That won't guide you to your destination.Go and communicate with people.They're an important part of the experience .ATravel makes you more adaptable.BTravel makes you more singleminded.CTravel helps you overcome your shyness.DYou may meet something pleasant when you travel.ETravel provides a chance to get away from your routine.FAnd sometimes you won't even be able to use your first language.GYou'll go through anger and disappointment，but hopefully，you'll learn to laugh at it and move on.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。爱好旅行的Mishana Khot为我们介绍了旅行的一些重要作用。1解析：根据空后的“It forces you to see your life from the outside.”可知，旅行使你从外部来看自己的人生；据此可以判断，空处表示旅行让你摆脱常规，故E项符合语境。答案：E2解析：根据该空位置可知，该句为第三段的主题句，概括第三段大意；通读该段可知，该段主要说明旅行过程中出现的各种情况会让你更加适应生活，故A项符合文意。答案：A3解析：上文介绍了旅行过程中可能遇到的各种挑战，包括航班延误、公交车慢、食物差和住宿条件不好等，据此可以判断，空处顺承上文，说明遇到这些挑战时的心情以及应如何应对，故G项与此处匹配。答案：G4解析：根据该空位置可知，该句为本段的主题句，概括本段大意；通读该段并结合该段第三句“So，just throw away your shyness.”可知，该段主要说明旅行可以让人克服羞怯，故C项正确。答案：C5解析：根据空前一句“During travel，you'll be forced to communicate with many more people than you used to.”可知，在旅行过程中，你将被迫和许多人交流；结合常识可以判断，在交流过程中你有时甚至不能使用母语，据此可知F项符合文意。答案：F.语法填空The Yangtze River，1.
