Paragraph 1：
Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane.Just then an elderly airport employee walked towards me from the corner.He saw that I was lost and asked if he could help in any way.He gave me his handkerchief to dry my tears as I related my predicament.He smiled kindly，and patted my shoulder to ease my anxiety，before leading me down a long hallway.We walked up some stairs，turned a corner，and at last，there was the check-in counter! He led me past all the lines of people and pushed my luggage to the inspection counter.
Paragraph 2：
When I turned to thank him for all his help，he was gone.I never got an opportunity to know that kind man's name，but I would always remember his unexpected kindness.He helped me when I needed it most.Without his timely help, I would have certainly missed my plane，I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for another traveller who is suffering through a terrible journey.UNIT 5 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练

A
When you look at a map of the Caribbean, you will see a bunch of little islands surrounded by blue waters, which include places that aren't always household names, like Montserrat and Anguilla.
While some of the names may not be familiar, the Caribbean is a popular holiday region. Those little dots on the map often turn out to be ideal resorts. There are thousands of islands in the area, many of which are sparsely(稀少的) populated but with breathtaking landscapes.
The biggest challenge you might face in planning your trip is choosing where in the Caribbean to go. All of the nations feature excellent weather. Most feature beautiful beaches. You can enjoy the waters in most of the Caribbean nations and as is often the case with island nations, you will be welcomed warmly by the locals. Here is some information to help you.
Unless you can walk on water or you cruise the Caribbean, the best way to visit is to fly. Some destinations have more frequent and cheaper flights than others. You should do some comparison shopping on flights to the Caribbean. And if you are planning on flying there during the Christmas holiday weeks, it's important to book as early as possible because prices will just keep going up as they get closer.
The Caribbean offers a wide variety of accommodation options. Check out the Caribbean hotels that are available to get a better idea of the various options. If you are on a tight budget, then the Caribbean could be challenging, as there are only a few cheap hotels and hostels that might help you save some money.Many people see the Caribbean from a cruise ship. There is no shortage of cruises that will take you through the region. You can go online to find the cruise or holiday package that is right for you.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了度假胜地加勒比海地区，并提供了一些旅行之前需要了解的信息，帮助游客提前做好规划。
1．The Caribbean is popular with tourists mainly because________.
A．the area has a small population
B．the places are not always household names
C．there are many beautiful islands
D．there is no shortage of cruises that can take travellers there
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，加勒比海地区受欢迎的主要原因是那里有上千座岛屿和美丽的风景。
2．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to________.
A．prices of air tickets
B．tourists to the Caribbean
C．flights to the Caribbean
D．the Christmas holiday weeks
解析：选D 代词指代题。根据第四段最后一句可知，这里的they应该指代 the Christmas holiday weeks。
3．What can we infer from the passage
A．Public transport in some of the Caribbean nations is not quite convenient.
B．It is not cheap to take a trip to the Caribbean, especially during Christmas.
C．It is better to cruise the Caribbean instead of taking a flight.
D．There are not many choices on hotels in the Caribbean.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段可知，圣诞节期间机票价格上涨，而且价格低的旅馆很少，可以推断出去加勒比海地区旅游花费较高。
B
Train travel is becoming more popular.Amtrak, the US national railroad passenger company, reports that the number of passengers continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and the number of passenger journeys are also increasing. There's every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you'll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains.It's relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travellers, travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car，especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费)．
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel time and date, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight at a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive.Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially during busy travel periods or in developing countries.
In the end, you'll need to do some research on train ticket prices，check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.

It's now been nine years since I sold everything and left the United States to travel the world. These are the travel tips I'd like to share to help you save money and have a great trip.
Patience is important.
Don't get mad at things you can't control. __1__ Did you miss your bus No worries, there will be another one. ATMs out of money Great! Take an unplanned road trip over to the next town and explore.
Wake up early to avoid crowds.
Get up and head out before sunrise to have the best attractions all to yourself. It's a magical time for photos due to the soft light and there aren't any large tourist crowds to obstruct (妨碍) your view. Also，it's usually easier to interact with locals who are getting ready for their day.
Want those postcard shots __2__
Observe daily life around you.
If you really want to get a feel for the pulse of a place, I recommend spending a few hours sitting in a park or on a busy street corner by yourself just watching day to day life happen in front of you.
__3__ The smells, the colors, human interactions and sounds. It's a kind of meditation (冥想) — and you'll see stuff you've never noticed before.
Laugh at yourself sometimes.
__4__ Rather than get embarrassed, laugh at yourself. Don't take life so seriously. Relax!
Slow down to enjoy your trip.
Please don't try to visit six countries in six weeks of travel. All the good stuff happens when you really take the time to explore. I can honestly say that NONE of my best travel experiences happened within the first few days of arriving somewhere. __5__ I promise you'll have a much better time!
A．Spend more time in fewer places for maximum enjoyment.

When you look at a map of the Caribbean, you will see a bunch of little islands surrounded by blue waters, which include places that aren't always household names, like Montserrat and Anguilla.
While some of the names may not be familiar, the Caribbean is a popular holiday region. Those little dots on the map often turn out to be ideal resorts. There are thousands of islands in the area, many of which are sparsely(稀少的) populated but with breathtaking landscapes.
The biggest challenge you might face in planning your trip is choosing where in the Caribbean to go. All of the nations feature excellent weather. Most feature beautiful beaches. You can enjoy the waters in most of the Caribbean nations and as is often the case with island nations, you will be welcomed warmly by the locals. Here is some information to help you.
Unless you can walk on water or you cruise the Caribbean, the best way to visit is to fly. Some destinations have more frequent and cheaper flights than others. You should do some comparison shopping on flights to the Caribbean. And if you are planning on flying there during the Christmas holiday weeks, it's important to book as early as possible because prices will just keep going up as they get closer.
The Caribbean offers a wide variety of accommodation options. Check out the Caribbean hotels that are available to get a better idea of the various options. If you are on a tight budget, then the Caribbean could be challenging, as there are only a few cheap hotels and hostels that might help you save some money.Many people see the Caribbean from a cruise ship. There is no shortage of cruises that will take you through the region. You can go online to find the cruise or holiday package that is right for you.
