【C12】

选项 A、making
B、considering
C、viewing
D、adjusting

答案A

解析 本填空句子的原文信息为travel-lovers—those________themselves relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experiences as part of________vacation。这里含有几个关键线索:travel—lovers (喜欢旅行的人)、relaxed,casual,and interested in the travel experiences(放松、随意,并且喜欢旅行经历),这样定位本填空的分词应为A项making(使得),因为正是这个客观动作令这些人做到后面这些,而B项considering和C项viewing都表示主观动作,而这里不是主观认为如何的概念,D项adjusting表示“调整”,也与本题意无关,所以答案为A项making。
