Do you know anyone who has gone backpacking? 1 It often means no fixed plans regarding accommodation or destination. The word “ backpacking ” comes from “backpack”, a type of bag that you carry on your back. Travelers typically fill a backpack with life essentials, like clothing, plus anything extra needed for adventure. The stereotypical view of a backpacker is someone in their 20s, keen to tick off items on their bucket list(愿望清单). But, forget this. 2 Last year, my best friend’s parents retired aged 65 and set off on a 630-mile trail along the southwest coast of England. Each carrying a 1 5kg backpack, Mike and Lorrain e hiked along cliffs, explored golden sandy beaches and even cycled. 3 It varied from Bed & Breakfast to camping in fields full of sheep. They did stop for the occasional well-deserved cup of tea—they were in England after all. 4 But few begin with as little as Othmane Zolati from Morocco. In 2015, he embarked on a nearly four-year journey with only 80, zigzagging (曲折前进)across 24African countries and filming his experience to showcase Africa’s diversity and beauty on a low budget. He told BBC What’s New that he often relied on odd jobs and the kindness of strangers to continue his travels. 5 South Africa was Othmane’s final destination and, on reaching it, he said, “It was one of the best moments in my life. It made me know that if you fight for something, you really stick to that goal and then you will reach it”.So, don’t give up. If you want to travel, you can, regardless of your age or budget!A. But it was definitely worth it.B. Surprisingly, he made it with nobody’s help.C. You’re about to find out that anyone can backpack.D. It’s a type of travel that is low-cost and independent.E. Backpackers are also known for travelling with little money.F. They encountered many obstacles and even thought of giving up.G. They didn’t book accommodation but stayed in whatever they could find.

第1空
上下文：首句提问“你认识背包旅行的人吗”，后文解释“无固定计划”。
选项匹配：D选项“低成本且独立的旅行”直接对应“无固定住宿/目的地”，且“backpacking”定义需强调独立性。
第2空

选项匹配：G选项“未预订住宿，住能找到的地方”与后文“varied from...”形成逻辑一致。
