Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2015·长春三模)

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a hotspot travel destination, and it's easy to see its beautiful beaches and busy

city life.

Why it's a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international

travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an Englishspeaking country, you

won't be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk

or bike practically anywhere!

Thailand

Thailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets,

which promote equality among the sexes.

Why it's a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel

hotspot, there are plenty of chances to meet other likeminded travelers. Well known for being very

cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a

lot to offer, from the partycentral Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical (热带的) jungle.

Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen Moments”，such as

beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.

Why it's a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If

you're not welltraveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a

great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of

friendly people and splendid visual culture has made Bali number one tourist attraction. 高中英语一轮复习

2 Why it's so great: you won't be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being

Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.
