Travelling Alone in Toronto
Travelling alone can be frightening.I have travelled by myself many times but there was always someone to meet me at the other end of the train or plane journey.This time was different.Last week I had a holiday from work,but none of my friends had the same week off.But I still booked a train ride to Toronto and a bed in a hostel(旅社) for one week.
One week by myself!Would I be lonely Quite the opposite!In fact,there were many benefits.Firstly,I was able to do whatever I wanted.I spent hours in museums that would have seemed boring to some of my friends.I walked all around the city,which some people may have found too tiring.Secondly,I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills.Finally,being in the safe environment of a hostel with travellers also gave a great chance to meet new people from all over the world.
However,there were some disadvantages of travelling alone.I missed having someone to talk to.Eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own.Besides,without a travel partner,I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with friends in years to come.
I am very proud of myself for travelling alone and I had a fantastic time in Toronto.However,in the future,I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group.Though,maybe it depends on whom I travel with—I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy and difficult!

Travel light.1. It’s no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city.Don’t take too many clothes and avoid heavy books and electrical equipment.
2. Always keep your passport on you in an inside pocket or special travel belt.There may be thieves about.It’s a good idea to make a photocopy(复印件) of your passport and travel documents.

Keep clean.It’s a good idea to wear dark clothes because they hide the dirt while white clothes attract it!Make sure you have plenty of clean underclothes and deodorant(除臭剂).4.
5. You should always be polite and respectful towards the locals.Even if you find their habits and behaviour a bit strange,you shouldn’t show your feelings.Remember,you’re their guest.

W:Can you repeat the date,please
M:Yes,it’s 1533.Then,when Elizabeth was only three years old,Henry killed Elizabeth’s mother.And he sent Elizabeth away.But she had a good classical education.
W:Excuse me.Can you explain that,please
M:Yes,a “classical education”means you study ancient Greek and Latin.She could speak and write six different languages and Elizabeth also loved music and the theatre.And the Elizabeth period was a very interesting time for the theatre.Remember,Elizabeth was queen from 1558 to 1603.This period was a very exciting time in English history.Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world and Walter Raleigh went to America...
W:Can you spell that,please
M:What,America
W:No,Raleigh.

M:My friend,Vernon Davis kept birds.One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week.He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.Unfortunately,I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return.What was worse,it was already dark when I arrived at his house.I soon found the key Vernon left for me could not unlock either the front door or the back door.I was getting anxious and disappointed.I kept thinking of what Vernon would say when he came back.I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open.I found a thick stick and pushed it under the window.I made a lot of noise.But in the end,I managed to climb up and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realised that someone was shining a flashlight at me.I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady,one of Vernon’s neighbours.I felt like a complete fool at that time.

I found the people to be really friendly,and most Germans speak very good English,which made life easy for me.I was surprised by the casual attitude to alcohol in Germany,where it seems normal for people to drink beer on the street or on the tram.My girlfriend and I visited two famous local cities.Dusseldorf and Cologne,which are both on the Rhine River.Dusseldorf is an urban metropolis (大都市) with a great variety of restaurants.We took a boat tour on the river and went up the Rhine tower,a really tall building which offers great views across the city.Cologne,as you might know,is world famous for its perfumes.The cathedral(大教堂) there is an unmissable landmark.We made the effort to climb to the top of one of the cathedrals’ tower.The spiral(螺旋的) stairs seemed endless,but it was worthwhile for the impressive sights from the top.
We also went in a cable car over the river and tasted a German delicacy called “Spaghettieis” which is ice cream with strawberry sauce!I also got to try the famous German sausage.I must admit,I really enjoyed the food!The only disappointment was the grey and rainy weather,which proves that Britain does not have the worst weather in Europe!

37.D 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。设空处前文“Over millions of years,the Colorado River cut through rocks”解释了大峡谷形成的原因是由于科罗拉多河切断了岩石。D 项中的“河流让路越来越深”串联上文。故选D项。
38.E 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据前文“The Grand Canyon is home to different kinds of plants and animals.”可知,大峡谷是很多种动植物的生长地。E 选项中的“区域内有超过1,700种知名植物”与上文呼应。故选E项。

40.F 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据空后“About five million tourists visit the park each year.”可知,每年有大约五百万人去公园旅行。F选项介绍大峡谷是美国大峡谷国家公园的一部分。设空处后文的 the park 指的是F项中的“the Grand Canyon National Park”。故选F项。

语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了外国人Simon Wakefield云南之行的所见所感。阅读本文,有利于学生了解外国人眼中的中国,培养学生的跨文化交际意识。
答案及剖析:
56.varied 本题考查形容词。此处为“how+形容词+主谓”形式的感叹句,此处需要填形容词,表示“多姿多彩的”,应用形容词varied,侧重多样性。
57.covered 本题考查独立主格结构。两分句间无连词,因此此处为独立主格结构,its peak与cover构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词形式表被动。
58.which 本题考查定语从句。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句,修饰先行词maze,作介词in的宾语,指物,应用关系代词which。
59.who/that 本题考查强调句。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句结构“it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”,此处被强调部分为the women。
60.in 本题考查介词。表示“在使用中”用短语in use。
61.particularly 本题考查副词。修饰后文形容词famous应用副词particularly,作状语。
62.a 本题考查冠词。表示具体的表演,performance是可数名词,此处表泛指“一场表演”,应用不定冠词,且performance是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,故用a。
63.was played 本题考查动词时态语态及主谓一致。根据上文went可知应用一般过去时,且定语从句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。从句中谓语动词的数与先行词performance保持一致,应用单数。
64.diversity 本题考查名词。此处为强调句,强调的是主语,用名词diversity,表示抽象意义,不可数。故填diversity。
65.to be 本题考查不定式。句意:无论人们最初看起来是怎样的不同,我们都是一样的,都是平等的。appear后跟动词不定式,appear to do表示“好像……”。
