Technology has blurred the boundaries between work and play,professional and personal,and career and downtime.Whether it's a digital nomad (数字游牧民) blogging on a Bali beach or a manager checking emails on a Niseko ski lift,people are seamlessly combining work and leisure.The traditional boundary between business and personal travel is fading,giving rise to a new trend known as "bleisure travel." Bleisure travel extends beyond the usual practice of bringing a partner to a conference.Professionals worldwide are increasingly adding weekends or even weeks to their work trips,whether they are traveling alone,with a partner,or as a family.According to Jeanne Liu of the Global Business Travel Association,more than one in three business travelers will incorporate a leisure component into at least one of their trips this year.Contrary to expectations,this trend is not limited to entry-level employees;managers and millennials are equally likely to partake in bleisure travel. Employers are recognizing the benefits of bleisure travel,as it contributes to travel well-being,job satisfaction,and productivity.Taking the opportunity to bring family members along or adding fun elements to a business trip reduces stress and enhances the overall experience.Australians,who face longer working hours and higher travel costs,are particularly receptive to bleisure travel.Guests at business-oriented hotels like Quest St Leonards in Sydney are increasingly opting to have their partners join them for a weekend stay or longer,rather than making quick trips back home. Richard Tonkin,a general manager who frequently travels for work,always extends his trips to explore new destinations.He carefully researches cities and books bike tours as a way to quickly see the sights and discover places of interest.Tonkin's wife,Enza,who works part-time,often accompanies him on these trips and explores the local area or indulges in her own activities,such as shopping or visiting galleries and restaurants. The modern bleisure traveler is typically culturally curious and interested in local cuisine.Hotels like Quest St Leonards ensure their front office staff are knowledgeable about not only popular attractions but also hidden gems and events happening in the area.They provide guests with tailored guides that cater to their specific interests,whether it's offbeat cafes and boutiques or trendy bars and restaurants. The main obstacle for most business travelers considering bleisure is time.Paradoxically (自相矛盾的是),while technology enables them to work and play at the same time,it also limits their leisure time.However,as the trend continues to gain in popularity,more professionals are finding ways to strike a balance and make the most of their business trips by incorporating leisure activities.(1)Which of the following is a proper description of modern bleisure travelers? ____ A.They prefer to travel alone rather than with a business partner or a family member.B.They tend to be curious about local culture and cuisine,and eager to explore the area.C.They are more interested in attending conferences and business meetings than travelling.D.They are more likely to be entry-level employees than company managers or millennials.(2)What can be inferred about "bleisure travel" from the passage? ____ A.It is primarily embraced by employees with shorter working hours and lower travel costs.B.Limited leisure time gives professionals a chance to strike a balance between work and life.C.Its increasing popularity suggests that professionals prioritize personal experiences over work.D.Family members coming along the bleisure travel will have to follow their partner s schedule.(3)How do some hotels react to the rise of "bleisure travel" according to the passage? ____ A.They are struggling to accommodate travelers due to limited availability and high demand.B.They are indifferent to the trend and do not offer any specific services for bleisure travelers.C.They are discouraging bleisure travel by offering only business- oriented facilities and services.D.They are training staff to know about local travelling information and offering tailored guides.(4)The passage mainly talks about ____ .A.the rise of digital refugees in the workforceB.the benefits of business travel for professionalsC.the trend of combining work and leisure travelD.the challenges of balancing work and recreation

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型的旅行方式——商务休闲旅行,该旅行是将工作和休闲相结合的旅行方式,并介绍了一些旅行者的实践经验。
28.推理判断题。根据文章第四段"Richard Tonkin,a general manager who frequently travels for work,always extends his trips to explore new destinations.He carefully researches cities and books bike tours as a way to quickly see the sights and discover places of interest.(Richard Tonkin是一位经常出差的总经理,他总是延长旅行时间去探索新的目的地。他仔细研究城市,并将自行车之旅作为一种快速游览景点和发现名胜的方式。)"以及第五段"The modern bleisure traveler is typically culturally curious and interested in local cuisine.Hotels like Quest St Leonards ensure their front office staff are knowledgeable about not only popular attractions but also hidden gems and events happening in the area.(现代休闲旅行者通常对当地的文化充满好奇和兴趣。像Quest St Leonards这样的酒店确保他们的前台工作人员不仅了解热门景点,还了解该地区隐藏的评价很高的景点和事件。)"可推测,现代休闲旅行者往往对当地的文化和美食很好奇,渴望探索这个地区。故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第一段"Technology has blurred the boundaries between work and play,professional and personal,and career and downtime.Whether it's a digital nomad (数字游牧民) blogging on a Bali beach or a manager checking emails on a Niseko ski lift,people are seamlessly combining work and leisure.(科技模糊了工作与娱乐、专业与个人、事业与休息之间的界限。无论是在巴厘岛海滩上写博客的数字游牧民,还是在新雪谷滑雪缆车上查看电子邮件的经理,人们都在无缝地将工作和休闲结合在一起。)"和第二段"Bleisure travel extends beyond the usual practice of bringing a partner to a conference.Professionals worldwide are increasingly adding weekends or even weeks to their work trips,whether they are traveling alone,with a partner,or as a family.According to (休闲旅行超越了通常的带伙伴参加会议的做法。世界各地的专业人士越来越多地在出差期间增加周末甚至几周的时间,无论他们是独自旅行、与伴侣一起旅行,还是与家人一起旅行。)"可推断出,所谓的商业休闲旅游指的是专业人士用来平衡工作和生活的,将出差和旅游结合起来的机会。故选B。
30.细节理解题。根据文章第五段"Hotels like Quest St Leonards ensure their front office staff are knowledgeable about not only popular attractions but also hidden gems and events happening in the area.They provide guests with tailored guides that cater to their specific interests,whether it's offbeat cafes and boutiques or trendy bars and restaurants.(像Quest St Leonards这样的酒店确保他们的前台工作人员不仅了解热门景点,还了解该地区隐藏的评价很高的景点和事件。他们为客人提供量身定制的指南,以满足他们的特定兴趣,无论是非传统的咖啡馆和精品店,还是时尚的酒吧和餐馆。)"可知,面对"休闲旅游"的兴起,一些酒店他们正在培训员工了解当地的旅游信息,并提供量身定制的导游。故选D。
31.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段"Technology has blurred the boundaries between work and play,professional and personal,and career and downtime.Whether it's a digital nomad (数字游牧民) blogging on a Bali beach or a manager checking emails on a Niseko ski lift,people are seamlessly combining work and leisure.The traditional boundary between business and personal travel is fading,giving rise to a new trend known as "bleisure travel."(科技模糊了工作与娱乐、专业与个人、事业与休息之间的界限。无论是在巴厘岛海滩上写博客的数字游牧民,还是在新雪谷滑雪缆车上查看电子邮件的经理,人们都在无缝地将工作和休闲结合在一起。商务旅行和个人旅行之间的传统界限正在消失,催生了一种被称为"商务休闲旅行"的新趋势。)"以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了将工作和休闲相结合的旅行方式——商务休闲旅行的趋势和益处。故选C。
