13．Tips for Cycle Trips
Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel，as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power，and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel．Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation．
Distance
On level terrain（地形），without a headwind，a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day．Distances of up to 250km a day are possible，but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit．For many，80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities．
Geography
The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range．A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb，you should add an extra 15minutes to your journey time．In hilly or mountainous areas，the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers，as overall they will be downhill．A long，roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short，direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain．
Eat
Food choice depends largely on where you are，so see the respective sections for more information about foods．As you will be working hard，it's important to get enough energy in your food．On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available，so be prepared to live on candy bars，prepared meat products and the like if the need arises．
Sleep
While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists．However，there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists．If you are exploring an unfamiliar world，asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel．

分析 文章大意：本文主要講了騎自行車旅行的好處，但是要考慮騎車的距離、地理環(huán)境以及吃住等方面的問題．
解答 33．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句話For many，80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for，…可知對許多人來說，一天騎80-100公里是最合適的距離，因此答案選B（90km）．
34．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第四段最后一句話On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available，so be prepared to live on candy bars，prepared meat products and the like if the need arises．可知在長途騎行時，不容易找到很好的食物，因此A項錯誤；根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句話While you can take a tent with you，many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists．可知盡管你會帶著帳篷，但是許多旅館都會為騎行者提供住宿，因此B項錯誤；C項的表述與第三段中"A basic rule is that for every 100metres of altitude you climb，you should add an extra 15minutes to your journey time…"表達(dá)的意思是一樣的，因此不符合題干要求，要排除．根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句A long，roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short，direct route over a hill or mountain pass．However，it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain可知騎車穿過山可能會有挑戰(zhàn)，但是卻很值得，因此答案為C．
35．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)本文大意可知，這是關(guān)于騎自行車旅行的一些要注意的事項，因此可以在旅行雜志上面能看到，因此答案選D．
