“Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,” says Wendy Coley. She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists traveling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted (有视力的) people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the center of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.”

Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of benefit (益处) to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips. It’s a two-way thing.” Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic.

In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends.

1.1．What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes?

A Most of the tourists are blind people.

B They are organized by Wendy Coley.

C A blind person travels with a sighted person.

D Blind people join in the tours at half the price.

解析：选C。C 题型：细节理解题 解析：解题关键在于精准定位原文中关于 Travel Eyes 旅行规则的描述。原文明确提到 “For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t.”（每次旅行中，一半游客视力正常，一半是盲人，且每位视力正常的游客会与一位盲人结伴同行）。逐一分析选项：A 选项 “多数游客是盲人” 与 “一半对一半” 的表述矛盾；B 选项 “由 Wendy Coley 组织” 错误，Wendy 是旅行参与者而非组织者，组织者是 Travel Eyes 公司；D 选项 “盲人半价” 在原文中无任何相关提及，属于无中生有；C 选项 “盲人与视力正常者结伴出游” 与原文描述完全一致，故为正确答案。

2.2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A Tourists.

B Strangers.

C Blind people.

D Sighted members.

解析：选D。D 题型：词义猜测题 解析：猜测代词指代需结合前文语境逻辑。划线词 “They” 位于第一段末句，前文语境为 “The world is there for sighted people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe... They might explain...”（世界对视力正常的人而言触手可及，但这给盲人带来了不便。因此，视力正常的成员可能会描述…… 他们可能会解释……）。“So” 引导因果关系，说明前后动作的执行者一致，均为 “sighted members”（视力正常的成员），故 “They” 指代前文的 “sighted members”，答案选 D。

3.3．How does Jenny Tween feel during the tours?

A Safe.

B Sleepy.

C Nervous.

D Surprised.

解析：选A。A 题型：观点态度题 解析：解题核心是找到盲人游客 Jenny Tween 的直接表述。原文中 Jenny 提到 “You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important”（你再也不用为危险担忧了，这一点真的很重要）。“不担心危险” 直接体现出她在旅行中的感受是 “安全的”。分析选项：B 选项 “困倦的”、C 选项 “紧张的”、D 选项 “惊讶的” 均未在 Jenny 的表述中体现，且与 “不担心危险” 的语境矛盾，故 A 选项 “Safe（安全的）” 为正确答案。

4.4．What benefit do sighted people get from the tours?

A They cook better.

B They walk faster.

C They speak louder.

D They notice more.

解析：选D。D 题型：细节理解题 解析：需定位原文中关于视力正常者从旅行中获益的具体内容。原文明确说明 “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips... Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things”（视力正常的人能从这些旅行中学到很多，与盲人同行并为他们描述世界，会让他们放慢脚步，更细致地观察事物的颜色、形状和大小）。这意味着视力正常者会 “注意到更多细节”。分析选项：A 选项 “厨艺更好”、C 选项 “说话更大声” 在原文中无任何依据；B 选项 “走得更快” 与原文 “go more slowly”（放慢脚步）表述相反；D 选项 “注意到更多” 与原文 “look more closely”（更细致观察）表意一致，故为正确答案。

5.5．What would be the best title for the passage?

A Shared Travel.

B Help Blind People

C Happy Holiday.

D Travel around the World.

解析：选A。A 题型：主旨大意题 解析：把握文章主旨需避免片面解读，聚焦核心逻辑。文章并非单纯讲述 “帮助盲人”（B 选项），而是强调盲人与视力正常者结伴旅行的 “双向受益”—— 盲人获得安全的旅行体验，视力正常者学会细致观察世界；C 选项 “快乐的假期”、D 选项 “环游世界” 仅为旅行的表面信息，未体现文章核心的 “互助共赢” 理念。文章结尾总结提到 “people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world”（拥有不同能力的人向彼此展示体验世界的新方式），核心是 “共享旅行” 的特殊价值，A 选项 “Shared Travel（共享旅行）” 最能概括全文主旨，故为正确答案。
