While long-distance travel is no a top choice during the COVID-19, camping is becoming more and more popular for people living in Chinese cities． According to Tongcheng Travel, the number of searches on camping during the May Day holiday this year increased (增加) by 117% from April． Forests and islands were the two most popular places．

参考答案

1．C

【详解】句意：姚明12岁时开始打篮球。他在22岁的时候就出名了。

考查冠词辨析。球类前不加任何冠词，所以第一空不填。at the age of“在……岁时”，固定搭配，故选C。

2．D

【详解】句意：——Lily，英国人庆祝中秋节吗？——不，他们不庆祝。它是我们的节日，不是他们的节日。

考查代词辨析。ours我们的，名词性物主代词；our我们的，形容词性物主代词；their他们的，形容词性物主代词；theirs他们的，名词性物主代词。根据“festival”可知，空一用形容词性物主代词；第二个空后没有名词，所以空二用名词性物主代词。故选D。
