You may be too busy to notice the wonderful world where you live. Taking time to know your own town or city can help you see it in a new light. With the warm weather outside，now is a good time to go exploring with a trusted adult(成年人). 41.
◆Act like a tourist. Many times，when you live in a place，you never really explore some of the most exciting parts that a visitor might. Start by asking yourself this question：42. Maybe you can visit a historic building，a nice park，or a new ice cream store.
◆Consider local attractions. First，do some research online and talk to an adult about where to go. 43. A local museum or zoo might have a new exhibit. You might also head to a national park for a hike.
◆44. With an adult's guide，look up walking tours for a whole new way to explore your city. Some cities offer walking tours focused on a theme，like food or local parks. You can also search for free self-guided walking tours in your area.
◆Take a photography walk. 45. Pick a theme for your photos，like special dishes，local waterways，or lovely birds. And at the end of the day，you can look back on all your explorations.
A. Find out a guided tour.
B. Here is how to get started.
C. Then try thinking about which place is the best to explore.
D. If I have never been to the town before，when is the best time to explore?
E. If my friends come to my town for the first time，where shall I advise them to go?
F. Another way to see where you live with fresh eyes is to go exploring with your camera.

41. B 42. E 43. C 44. A 45. F

【分析】首先通读全文，明确短文主题是介绍如何与成年人一起探索自己的城镇，后文给出了四个具体的探索方法，需结合上下文的逻辑关系，选择能承上启下或符合语境的句子。逐个分析空白处：41空需引出后文的方法；42空需承接前文的“问题”，并引出后文的探索地点；43空需承接前文的“做研究”，确定探索地点；44空需匹配后文的“walking tours”；45空需匹配前文的“Take a photography walk”。
【解析】41空：前文提到“现在是和成年人探索的好时机”，后文是具体的探索方法，B选项“Here is how to get started.”起到承上启下引出方法的作用，故选B；42空：前文提到“问自己这个问题”，后文举例说明可去的地点，E选项是关于推荐朋友来城镇去的地方，符合语境，故选E；43空：前文提到“做研究并问成年人去哪里”，后文举例具体地点，C选项“思考哪个地方最适合探索”符合逻辑，故选C；44空：后文围绕“walking tours（徒步旅行）”展开，A选项“Find out a guided tour（找导游游）”与徒步旅行相关，符合段落主题，故选A；45空：段落标题是“Take a photography walk（摄影散步）”，F选项提到“go exploring with your camera（用相机探索）”，与摄影主题匹配，故选F。

【分析】
本题为语篇型词汇运用题，需结合语境、固定搭配、时态及词性转换等知识填空。解题时，先分析每个空格所在句子的语法结构、时态标志词或固定搭配，再判断单词的正确形式：46题考查固定搭配；47题由since确定时态；48题询问过去的生活用过去时；49题描述过去动作用过去式；50题需副词修饰动词；51题考查固定搭配；52题需名词复数；53题由now确定现在进行时；54题由than确定比较级；55题需形容词性物主代词修饰名词。
