In China, a new travel trend is becoming popular among young people. It is called “healing travel”. Unlike traditional trips that focus on seeing many famous places, healing travel is about rest, emotional comfort, and a slower pace. The term first appeared on social media platforms, where travelers began sharing their personal experiences.

Within this growing market, healing travel has become especially popular among young people from the city. Instead of following fixed schedules, many choose destinations based on comfort and atmosphere. They care less about how many places they visit and more about the experience itself. On platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin, users often share content about quiet homestays, lakeside trips, and peaceful mountain views. The focus is on relaxation and personal well-being, not on rushing through famous sights.

This trend reflects the pressures of modern city life. Many young people face long work hours, daily commutes, and constant use of digital devices. For them, travel is not just about going somewhere new. It is also a way to recuperate from stress and regain emotional balance.

The growth of healing travel is also supported by better infrastructure. The expansion of high-speed rail now connects remote mountain villages to major cities in under two hours. As a result, bookings at small-town homestays have risen sharply.At the same time, travelers now spend more on accommodation and natural settings than on attraction tickets. Homestays and nature-oriented trips have become more popular, showing a greater emphasis on where they stay and what surrounds them.

1.1.What kind of places do healing travelers prefer?

A Famous sights.

B Comfortable stays.

C Crowded cities.

D Big shopping malls.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段，疗愈旅行者 “choose destinations based on comfort and atmosphere”，并且热衷于分享 “quiet homestays, lakeside trips, and peaceful mountain views”，这些都指向舒适、宁静的住宿与自然环境，而非传统意义上的景点。因此 B 项 “Comfortable stays”准确概括了他们的偏好。A 项 “Famous sights”是传统旅行的特点，与疗愈旅行 “care less about how many places they visit”相悖；C 项“Crowded cities”和 D 项“Big shopping malls”在文中均未提及，且与疗愈旅行追求安静、放松的核心诉求不符。故选B。

2.2. The underlined word “recuperate” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A recover

B review

C rebuild

D replace

解析：选A。A 词义猜测题。画线词“recuperate”出现在第三段，所在句意为“旅行也是一种从压力中______并重新获得情绪平衡的方式”。“recuperate from stress”与后文“regain emotional balance”并列，可推断出它是“恢复”之意。A项“recover”表示恢复健康、精力或情绪，与此处语境完全吻合，故选A。B项“review”意为复习、回顾，无法与“stress”搭配表示恢复；C项“rebuild”意为重建，多指建筑物或体系的再造，不适用于描述从压力中恢复；D项“replace”意为代替，从压力中“代替”不合逻辑。故选A。

3.3.What can be inferred about high-speed rail from Paragraph 4?

A It limits travel choices.

B It helps small towns.

C It costs too much.

D It only serves big cities.

解析：选B。B 推理判断题。第四段指出，高铁将偏远山村与大城市连通，使两地间车程缩短至两小时以内，“As a result, bookings at small-town homestays have risen sharply”（结果，小镇民宿的预订量大幅上升）。由此可以推断，高铁为小城镇带来了更多游客，促进了当地旅游的发展，对小镇有帮助，因此B项正确。A项“限制旅行选择”与事实相反，高铁实际上是扩展了出游范围；C项“花费太高”在文中并未提及，无法推断；D项“只服务于大城市”与原文“connects remote mountain villages to major cities”明显矛盾，高铁也连接了偏远乡村。故选B。

4.4.What is the best title for the passage?

A Small Towns on the Rise.

B Young People and Travel.

C Dealing with Work Stress.

D Healing Travel: A New Trend.

解析：选D。D 主旨大意题。文章开篇即点明主题——“healing travel”这一新兴旅行趋势，随后围绕其特点、受众、产生原因、基础设施支持及带来的挑战展开论述，全文核心始终围绕“疗愈旅行”这一概念。D 项“Healing Travel: A New Trend”精准概括了文章主旨。A 项“Small Towns on the Rise”仅为第四段提到的一个侧面影响；B 项“Young People and Travel”过于宽泛，未能突出"healing travel”这一特定趋势；C 项“Dealing with Work Stress”只是第三段提及的该趋势产生的背景原因之一，不能涵盖全文内容。故选D。
