I find that 11 travel is restful and 12 ．There's always something to see．I particularly enjoy 13 through Switzerland and Italy．You can get a very good 14 of what a country is like from a train；you don't go too fast and you stop quite often． 15 rail travel is very safe and I am never sick on a train 16 I am on a ship！Then there are always people to 17 if you feel like a chat．
The 18 that I seldom travel by plane is quite simple：as train stations are usually built in the city centre，I don't have to 19 transport；transport can be a problem when arriving by 20 ．

1．D。but表示转折，由此可知作者是想去一个香港以外的其它地方。
2．C。破折号后面的July是对前面名词的解释，即summer。
3．A。由逗号后面的the favourite placesfor holiday可知，本题应选holiday。4．D。因为是旅游旺季，所以人多为患。
5．C。由上文But I'm not seeking（寻求）the sun可知，香港有充足的阳光，度假时自然就不再寻求阳光了。
6．A。“人群”不是度假时所要寻求的目标。
7．B。根据词义，应选allows，表示“允许”。
8．D。根据上文Train Pass可知，本处是指乘火车旅行。
9．A。头等车厢里旅客通常不多， hardly表否定意义。
10．B。根据词义，本题应选journey，指“旅行”。
11．D。此处指乘火车旅行。
12．A。根据上文restful和下文There's always something to see．可推断出乘火车旅行是“有趣的”。

16．C。as引导方式状语从句，意为“像，如同”。
17．A。talk to sb．是固定词组，意为“与某人交谈”，“to talk to”是动词不定式作定语，与所修饰的名词people有逻辑上的动宾关系，所以talk后面的to不能省略。
