题目

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 We are still going on journeys, still travelling but in a slightly more sedate manner. Because of the time we live in, we are rediscovering the simple and healthful joys of walking. In the countryside, through forests, down hills or along ancient trails, this manner of travel has become increasingly popular in the country in the aftermath of COVID­19. From May 1 to Oct.31 in 2020, more than 140，000 travelers signed up for trips organized by Youxiake, a Hangzhou­based tour operator that invites people to explore nature by foot. This represents a 9. 3 percent increase over the same period last year. And the number of hikers marching along its routes has doubled, according to Huang Bowei, marketing director of the company. Not surprisingly, more tourists are choosing to explore domestic(国内的) routes, according to Huang. "After the outbreak, people became more aware of keeping fit，" Huang says. "Hiking or trekking in nature enables us to breathe fresh air, gives the whole body a workout and keeps us away from the crowds in urban public places, which fits perfectly with the requirement for social distancing. That's why these domestic hiking or trekking routes have seen more visitors this year." Zhang Peng started spending hours on the trail in 2013 when his startup business went through some tough times. "I felt that exposure to nature and physical exhaustion(疲惫) helped me release my stress at that time，" Zhang recalls. "Trekking has been integrated into my lifestyle，" he says. "It's a liberating experience to enjoy the calmness in the wilderness. And the exhausting climb makes me feel the vigor(活力) of life." （1） What does the underlined word "sedate" mean? A . Exciting.
