语篇品读 SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL: VANCOUVER AND THE HEART OF CANADALi Daiyu and her cousin Liu Oian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on theAtlantic coast. Rather than travel by commercial airline all the way, they decided to fly toancouver and then take the train. For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country byrail was exciting. Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights. During theirfirst day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat rideout into the bay. and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. Thcnext day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out ovethe city. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away. The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing throughthe Canadian Rockies. Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada lookedmassive. When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue waterliterally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty. They spent the night, and then took coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper. Looking at the beautiful scenery, theyboth agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken. In addition to seeingspectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto. One of the train's first stops was inEdmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drillingindustry. Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging -10°C. Since it canbe too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls. In fact, one of the larges shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie. At school, Daiyuand Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population is only slightly over thirty-seven millionHowever, they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed. They wenithrough two wheat-growing provinces, where they saw a bunch of farms that covered a very largearea. After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city ofWinnipeg. From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario-a land of forest:and lakes. The train thundered on, through the rolling hills. The bushes and maple trees outsidetheir windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming thatautumn had arrived in Canada. Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. Whenthey woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of LakeHuron--one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border. It was not until 9:30 a.m. thatthey finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Torontohad taken a duration of four days. 全文翻译 坐火车看“真北方”:温哥华与加拿大腹地 李黛予和表妹刘倩前往加拿大探望居住在大西洋海岸哈利法克斯市的表兄妹。她们没有一路乘坐商业航班，而是决定先飞到温哥华，然后再乘坐火车。一想到可以坐火车横穿整个国家，姐妹俩就激动不已。 出发前，她们在温哥华待了两天，欣赏当地风光。第一天，温哥华一如往常细雨蒙蒙尽管天气不佳，她们仍然泛舟驶入海湾，接着游览了一座岛屿。岛上有精致的店铺，出售手工艺品和古董。第二天，天气晴朗，温度适宜，她们看到壮美的群山俯瞰着整座城市，甚是 欣喜。随后，她们在不远处的森林中徒步旅行，十分惬意。次日清晨，两个女孩早早起床，登上开往路易斯湖的火车，穿越加拿大落基山脉，从车窗往外望去，加拿大的山脉和森林看起来雄壮无比。火车到站后，她们乘坐出租车前往路易斯湖。那里湛蓝的湖水真地美得让他们无法呼吸。住了一夜之后，她们乘坐长途汽车，向北穿过加拿大落基山脉，直达贾斯珀。望着眼前的美景，两人一致认为这是她们所经历过的最棒的一次旅行。除了欣赏壮丽的山峰和森林，旅程的亮点之一是能看到种类繁多的动物，如 鹿、山羊、甚至还有一只灰熊和一只老鹰。在贾斯珀，她们坐上了开往多伦多的火车。火车的头几站中有一站是埃德蒙顿，这是阿尔伯塔的省会，也是加拿大庞大的油气开采业中心。埃德蒙顿冬季十分寒冷，日平均气温为零下 10 摄氏度。由于天寒地冻，不适合户外活动，因此埃德蒙顿拥有众多大型购物中心。事实上，北美最大的购物中心之一就在埃德蒙顿。 火车从埃德蒙顿出发，向东南方行驶，一路穿越加拿大大草原。黛予和刘倩在学校学过，加拿大的人口才刚过 3700 万。但两人还是未曾料想能看到如此辽阔的国度，真是惊叹不已她们穿越两个种植小麦的省份，看到一片片广阔的农场。 她们在火车上又度过了一天，最终回到了都市区域一一温尼伯市。从该市出发，她们连夜前行，从梦乡中醒来时，火车已抵达森林和湖泊密布的安大略省。火车继续轰隆隆地向前行驶，穿过绵延的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色，地面盖着一层霜，表明加拿大已进入秋季。夜幕再次降临，火车转向南行，开往多伦多。次日清晨，她们醒来,拉开车窗窗帘，辽阔的休伦湖映入眼帘。休伦湖是安大略省南部边境的四大湖之一。上午点半，她们终于抵达安大略的省会多伦多。从温哥华到多伦多，她们的旅行总共历时四天。 词块积累 1.arise vi.起身；出现；由……引起 2.breath n.呼吸的空气；呼吸 3.bound adj.准备前往(某地)；一定会 4.scenery n.风景；景色 5.drill vi.& vt.钻(孔)；打(眼)n.钻(头)；训练；演习 6.mall n.购物商场；购物广场 7.anticipate vt.预料；预见；期望 8.bunch n.束；串；捆 9.thunder vi.打雷；轰隆隆地响；轰隆隆地快速移动n.雷声；轰隆声 10.frost n.霜；严寒天气；霜冻vt.使蒙上霜vi.结霜 11.curtain n.窗帘 12.border n.国界；边界(地区) 13.harbourn.(海)港；港口 14.enrol vi.& vt.(使)加入；注册；登记 15.idiom n.习语；成语

语篇品读 https://uww, （高考题源报刊） Egypt is known for its ancient artifacts， tombs， pyramids， and pharaohs. One of its most famous rulers， a boy king named Tutankhamen， has been a source for one of the greatest archeological （考古学的） discoveries in the world. Recently， my family and I visited Egypt for eight days. Located in Northern Africa， the country is home to more than 105 million people. While there， we explode red the pyramids， tombs， and temples built by the ancient Egyptians. Even before I visited any historical sites， I noticed great differences between Egypt and the United States. In the places I visited， I rarely saw traffic lights at the crossroads. Many buildings appeared unfinished. Often the top floor still had concrete pillars （柱子） and wires sticking out， as if another floor was to be built. Our guides gave us two different explanations for this. One was that an unfinished building wasn’t taxed. We were also told that when a father ran out of money， his son was supposed to finish the house. The first site we toured was the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was built more than 4，500 years ago by the pharaohs Khufu， Khafre， and Measure. While ex parts still don’t know how such an amazing structure could be built so long ago， Egyptologists （埃及古物学者） think that ramps （活动梯） were used to pull the heavy blocks up into position. It was long thought that enslaved people built the pyramids， but that isn’t true. Egyptian laborers who helped in the construction were finally buried near the king， which was considered a great honor. We also saw temples made of cut rock. “The Abu Simbel Temples were my favorite part of Egypt，” said my 10 year old sister， Vida. “Seeing the amazing temples was definitely worth the long drive and 4 am wake up call.” 埃及以其古老的文物、坟墓、金字塔和法老而闻名。它最著名的统治者之一，一个名叫图坦卡蒙的男孩国王，是世界上最伟大的考古发现之一的来源。 最近，我和家人去埃及旅游了八天。这个国家位于北非，拥有超过1.05亿人口。在那里，我们看到了古埃及人建造的金字塔、坟墓和寺庙。 甚至在我参观任何历史遗迹之前，我就注意到埃及和美国之间的巨大差异。在我访问的地方，我很少看到十字路口的红绿灯。 许多建筑物看起来都没有完工。通常顶楼还有混凝土柱子和伸出来的电线，好像要再建一层似的。我们的导游给了我们两个不同的解释。一是未完工的建筑不征税。我们还被告知，当一个父亲的钱花光了，他的儿子应该完成房子。 我们参观的第一个景点是吉萨大金字塔。它是4500多年前由法老胡夫、哈夫拉和Measure建造的。虽然人们仍然不知道如此惊人的建筑是如何在这么久以前建成的，但埃及古物学家认为，坡道(梯)是用来把沉重的石块拉到合适的位置的。长期以来，人们一直认为是奴隶建造了金字塔，但事实并非如此。参与建设的埃及工人最终被埋葬在国王身边，这被认为是一种巨大的荣誉。 我们还看到了用岩石凿成的庙宇。“阿布辛贝神庙是我在埃及最喜欢的地方，”我10岁的妹妹维达说。“看到这些令人惊叹的寺庙绝对值得长途开车，凌晨4点被叫醒。”

Passage 1
主题语境 主题群 话题 推荐指数
人与自然 旅行 主要讲了人们对睡眠旅游的兴趣日益浓厚，许多旅游机构将注意力集中在那些患有睡眠障碍的人身上。 ★★★★
Interest in sleep tourism is increasing, with a number of establishments focusing their attention on those suffering from sleep disorder.
Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities (便利设施), while Rosewood Hotels Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”, and Swedish manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel a year later.
Dr Rebecca Robbins, a sleep researcher and co-author of the book Sleep for Success! believes this shift has been around for a long time, particularly with regards to hotels. “When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” she says, before pointing out that in the past the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep. “People often associate travel with luxury meals, the attractions and the things they do while they’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep.” she adds.
According to Dr Robbins, travel experiences centering around “healthy sleep strategies” that aim to supply guests with the tools they need to improve their sleep can be hugely beneficial, if an excellent medical or scientific expert is involved in some way to help to determine whether there may be something else at play.
Mandarin Oriental in Geneva has taken things a step further by teaming up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to create a three-day program that studies guests’ sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping disorders, giving professional suggestions if necessary.
As sleep tourism continues to grow, Dr Robbins says she’s looking forward to seeing “who really continues to pioneer and think creatively about this space”, stressing that there are countless means that haven’t been fully explored yet when it comes to travel and the science of sleep.
1．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A．To list the consequences of sleep disorder.
B．To provide evidence for the rise of sleep tourism.
C．To highlight the importance of quality sleep.
D．To prove the popularity of some hotels.
2．What does the underlined phrase “detract from” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Reduce. B．Benefit. C．Measure. D．Analyze.
3．What is special about Mandarin Oriental in Geneva
A．It sets up a private medical sleeping clinic in its hotel.
B．It offers professionally medical help in sleeping problems.
C．It provides special tour route for people with sleeping disorders.
D．It suggests some good and scientific sleeping bedding.
4．What does Dr Robbins probably think of the sleep tourism
A．It needs to be systematized. B．It meets some doubts.
C．It is facing bottleneck. D．It’s promising.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲了人们对睡眠旅游的兴趣日益浓厚，许多旅游机构将注意力集中在那些患有睡眠障碍的人身上。
1．推理判断题。 根据第二段“Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities (便利设施), while Rosewood Hotels Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”, and Swedish manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel a year later. (在过去的12个月里，纽约柏悦酒店开设了占地900平方英尺的Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite，里面充满了促进睡眠的设施，而瑰丽酒店最近推出了一系列名为Alchemy of Sleep的度假酒店，旨在“促进休息”。一年后，瑞典制造商Hastens成立了世界上第一家Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel，拥有15间客房。)”可知，第二段的主要目的是证明了睡眠旅游的兴起，故选B。
2．词句猜测题。 根据划线单词下文““People often associate travel with luxury meals, the attractions and the things they do while they’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep.” she adds. (她补充说：“人们经常把旅行与奢华的饮食、景点和旅行中所做的事情联系在一起，实际上几乎是以睡眠为代价的。”)”可知，过去人们在旅行时，会减少睡眠时间，在旅游期间做的事都是一牺牲睡眠为代价的，结合画线短语所在句子“in the past the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep (过去，酒店业主要关注的是那些实际上会detract from睡眠的东西。)”可知，过去人们在旅行时，会推迟睡眠时间，在旅游期间做的事都是一牺牲睡眠为代价的，酒店业关注的自然也是那些剥夺睡眠时间的事情，即减少睡眠，由此可推知，画线短语“detract from”意为“减少”，与A项“Reduce”意思一样，故选A。
3．推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段“Mandarin Oriental in Geneva has taken things a step further by teaming up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to create a three-day program that studies guests’ sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping disorders, giving professional suggestions if necessary. (日内瓦文华东方酒店更进一步，与瑞士私人睡眠医疗诊所CENAS合作，开展了为期三天的项目，研究客人的睡眠模式，以识别潜在的睡眠障碍，并在必要时提供专业建议。)”可知，日内瓦的Mandarin Oriental酒店研究客人的睡眠模式，以确定潜在的睡眠障碍，由此可推知，Mandarin Oriental酒店的特殊之处在于为有睡眠问题的人们提供专业的医疗帮助。故选B。
4．推理判断题。 根据最后一段“As sleep tourism continues to grow, Dr Robbins says she’s looking forward to seeing “who really continues to pioneer and think creatively about this space”, stressing that there are countless means that haven’t been fully explored yet when it comes to travel and the science of sleep. (随着睡眠旅游的不断发展，罗宾斯博士说，她很期待看到“谁能真正继续在这个领域开拓和创造性地思考”，并强调说，在旅行和睡眠科学方面，还有无数的方法尚未被充分探索。)”可知，Robbins博士期待看到人们能真正开拓和创造性思考睡眠旅游这一领域，由此可推知，Robbins博士认为睡眠旅游是很有前景的，故选D。

人与自然 旅行 主要讲述了作者在黑暗的夜晚来到乡下进行亲近自然的探索之旅，并介绍了亲近自然给自己带来的好处，进而倡导人们要走近自然，体验自然。 ★★★★
Into the Night
The lights from the cottage windows disappear, as we follow a dark footpath through a field into the open countryside. Thick clouds prevent the moonlight from lighting up the way ahead. Yet, as my eyes begin to get used to the darkness, the landscape around me reveals itself in a new light.
Mount Caburn, an iron-age hill fort (堡垒), looks like shadows against the sky. On the horizon is a tree bent by the wind. The rocky outcrop (露出的部分) at the top of the field turns out to be a flock of sleeping sheep. A fox cries, a pheasant crows, and the air is full of a strong earthy scent.
“For most of human history, man lived in close contact with the land,” says Nigel Berman, my guide. “Only in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a powerful way of reconnecting. When your vision is reduced, your other senses are sharpened.”
Nigel and I walk from the village of Glynde across the South Downs towards the town of Lewes. It is a walk I know well by day, but at night everything is different, and a familiar wander becomes a mini adventure. When Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m not even sure how it works.
Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in the countryside is a purer form of relaxation. I forget about work and family tensions, and begin to blend into the surroundings. There is no one other than Nigel to see or hear me and, with little visual distraction, my mind calms. I am aware of the breeze on my face, the rustle (沙沙声) of leaves, and as I watch the clouds slowly changing color against the sky like a natural sound and light show, it feels fascinating.
Having got used to the dark, we continue walking and the path that leads up the escarpment (峭壁) of Saxon Down now appears to almost shine in front of us. We climb carefully, feeling our way on the uneven ground. Walking at night is not without risk, but with knowledge and preparation it opens up a new side to walking.
As we reach the top, Lewes appears below as a twinkly mass of lights, a sight I would generally consider as inviting. In just a few hours, however, I find myself unwilling to walk back down. Walking at night is like discovering a new world on your doorstep. As Henry David Thoreau wrote in Night and Moonlight: “Night is certainly more novel and less profane (世俗的) than day.”
5．According to Nigel Berman, why is walking at night significant
A．It helps people appreciate natural surroundings.
B．It is a way to take risks and explore new places.
C．It improves our vision and sharpens other senses.
D．It makes us avoid distractions from work and family.
6．Why did the author feel alarmed when Nigel told them not to bring a torch
A．He was afraid of getting lost in the dark.
B．He hardly had any trust in Nigel as a guide.
C．He didn’t know how to use his night vision.
D．He worried about the way on uneven ground.
7．The night walk brought the following benefits to the author except ________.
A．a reconnection with nature
B．a chance of abandoning wine
C．an escape from daily tensions
D．an approach to getting relaxed
8．What can we learn about the author from the article
A．He had gone for a walk on his own at night before.
B．He intentionally picked a cloudy night for his walk.
C．He enjoyed the feeling after reaching the top of the mountain.
D．He badly wanted to go home to have a glass of wine after the walk.
9．What is the article mainly about
A．Describing his night hike through the countryside.
B．Contrasting the experience of day and night walking.
C．Encouraging readers to go on a night walk themselves.
D．Exploring the history of human connection with nature.
【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．C 9．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在黑暗的夜晚来到乡下进行亲近自然的探索之旅，并介绍了亲近自然给自己带来的好处，进而倡导人们要走近自然，体验自然。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段中Nigel Berman所说的话“Only in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a powerful way of reconnecting(只有在过去的几百年里，我们才把自己与自然环境隔绝开来。晚上散步是重新建立联系的有力方式)”可知，Nigel Berman认为在晚上散步能帮助人们欣赏自然环境。故选A。
6．细节理解题。根据第四段中“When Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m not even sure how it works.(当Nigel 告诉我不要带火把时，我吓了一跳。我都不记得上次用夜视力是什么时候了，我都不知道它是怎么工作的。)”可知，当Nigel告诉他们不要带火把时，作者感到惊慌，是因为他不知道怎么用夜视力。故选C。
7．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in the countryside is a purer form of relaxation. I forget about work and family tensions, and begin to blend into the surroundings.(通常这个时候，我会在电视机前喝一杯葡萄酒，但是在乡下是一种更纯粹的放松方式。我忘记了工作和家庭的紧张关系，开始融入周围的环境。)”可知，晚上在乡下散步给作者带来的好处是：与自然重新建立联系；摆脱日常的紧张状态；使自己放松，B项“抛弃喝酒的机会”不是晚上在乡下散步给作者带来的好处，故选B。
8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As we reach the top, Lewes appears below as a twinkly mass of lights, a sight I would generally consider as inviting. In just a few hours, however, I find myself unwilling to walk back down.(当我们到达顶部时，Lewes出现在下面，像一团闪烁的灯光，我通常认为这种景象很吸引人。然而，仅仅几个小时之后，我发现自己不愿再走下去了。)”可推知，作者很享受在山顶的这种感觉，故选C。
9．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要描述了作者在黑暗的夜晚来到乡下进行亲近自然的探索之旅，并介绍了亲近自然给自己带来的好处，进而倡导人们要走近自然，体验自然。故选A。

) 1.旅行对我来说，是恢复青春活力的源泉。 Travel for me, is the source of the recovery of youth. 2.人之所以爱旅行，不是为了抵达目的地，而是为了享受旅途中的种种乐趣。 People love to travel, not to reach their destination, but to enjoy the pleasure of the journey. 3、一个真正的旅行家必是一个流浪者，经历者流浪者的快乐、**和探险意志。旅行必须流浪式，否则便不成其为旅行。 A true traveler is a tramp, tramp experience joy, temptation and adventure will. A journey must be a wandering, or it will not be a journey. 4、山色不厌远，我行随处深。 Can I be far mountains, deep. 5、旅游使智者更智，愚者更昧。 Travel makes a wise man better, more ignorant fools. 6、旅行是一个浪漫却不乌托邦的臆想。我从接触旅行至此，从未停止过对它幻觉般的依恋。旅行亦是个极端的词汇。我生命中最初的旅行，便是搭乘一块钱的空调公车从这个总站坐到那高宽个总站，以一个不变的姿势靠在窗旁坐到天黑。 Travel is a romantic but not utopian imagination. I've traveled so far and have never stopped to have an illusion of attachment. Travel is also an extreme word.

Many of us like to travel, why Because we want to find a place where no one's going to self exile. Why should we avoid others Because the lonely person is interesting. Loneliness is my homing pastime. 15、一个经常旅游的人，必有广博的知识，坚强的性格，不挠的毅力，不达目的决不罢休的精神。 A travel a lot of people, there will be a wide range of knowledge, strong character, indomitable perseverance, not up to never give up spirit.

Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat rideout into the bay. and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. Thcnext day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out ovethe city. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away. The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing throughthe Canadian Rockies. Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada lookedmassive. When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue waterliterally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty. They spent the night, and then took coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper. Looking at the beautiful scenery, theyboth agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken. In addition to seeingspectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto. One of the train's first stops was inEdmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drillingindustry. Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging -10°C. Since it canbe too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls. In fact, one of the larges shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie. At school, Daiyuand Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population is only slightly over thirty-seven millionHowever, they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed. They wenithrough two wheat-growing provinces, where they saw a bunch of farms that covered a very largearea. After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city ofWinnipeg. From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario-a land of forest:and lakes. The train thundered on, through the rolling hills. The bushes and maple trees outsidetheir windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming thatautumn had arrived in Canada. Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. Whenthey woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of LakeHuron--one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border. It was not until 9:30 a.m. thatthey finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Torontohad taken a duration of four days. 全文翻译 坐火车看“真北方”:温哥华与加拿大腹地 李黛予和表妹刘倩前往加拿大探望居住在大西洋海岸哈利法克斯市的表兄妹。她们没有一路乘坐商业航班，而是决定先飞到温哥华，然后再乘坐火车。一想到可以坐火车横穿整个国家，姐妹俩就激动不已。 出发前，她们在温哥华待了两天，欣赏当地风光。第一天，温哥华一如往常细雨蒙蒙尽管天气不佳，她们仍然泛舟驶入海湾，接着游览了一座岛屿。岛上有精致的店铺，出售手工艺品和古董。第二天，天气晴朗，温度适宜，她们看到壮美的群山俯瞰着整座城市，甚是 欣喜。随后，她们在不远处的森林中徒步旅行，十分惬意。次日清晨，两个女孩早早起床，登上开往路易斯湖的火车，穿越加拿大落基山脉，从车窗往外望去，加拿大的山脉和森林看起来雄壮无比。火车到站后，她们乘坐出租车前往路易斯湖。那里湛蓝的湖水真地美得让他们无法呼吸。住了一夜之后，她们乘坐长途汽车，向北穿过加拿大落基山脉，直达贾斯珀。望着眼前的美景，两人一致认为这是她们所经历过的最棒的一次旅行。除了欣赏壮丽的山峰和森林，旅程的亮点之一是能看到种类繁多的动物，如 鹿、山羊、甚至还有一只灰熊和一只老鹰。在贾斯珀，她们坐上了开往多伦多的火车。火车的头几站中有一站是埃德蒙顿，这是阿尔伯塔的省会，也是加拿大庞大的油气开采业中心。埃德蒙顿冬季十分寒冷，日平均气温为零下 10 摄氏度。由于天寒地冻，不适合户外活动，因此埃德蒙顿拥有众多大型购物中心。事实上，北美最大的购物中心之一就在埃德蒙顿。 火车从埃德蒙顿出发，向东南方行驶，一路穿越加拿大大草原。黛予和刘倩在学校学过，加拿大的人口才刚过 3700 万。但两人还是未曾料想能看到如此辽阔的国度，真是惊叹不已她们穿越两个种植小麦的省份，看到一片片广阔的农场。 她们在火车上又度过了一天，最终回到了都市区域一一温尼伯市。从该市出发，她们连夜前行，从梦乡中醒来时，火车已抵达森林和湖泊密布的安大略省。火车继续轰隆隆地向前行驶，穿过绵延的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色，地面盖着一层霜，表明加拿大已进入秋季。夜幕再次降临，火车转向南行，开往多伦多。次日清晨，她们醒来,拉开车窗窗帘，辽阔的休伦湖映入眼帘。休伦湖是安大略省南部边境的四大湖之一。上午点半，她们终于抵达安大略的省会多伦多。从温哥华到多伦多，她们的旅行总共历时四天。 词块积累 1.arise vi.起身；出现；由……引起 2.breath n.呼吸的空气；呼吸 3.bound adj.准备前往(某地)；一定会 4.scenery n.风景；景色 5.drill vi.& vt.钻(孔)；打(眼)n.钻(头)；训练；演习 6.mall n.购物商场；购物广场 7.anticipate vt.预料；预见；期望 8.bunch n.束；串；捆 9.thunder vi.打雷；轰隆隆地响；轰隆隆地快速移动n.雷声；轰隆声 10.frost n.霜；严寒天气；霜冻vt.使蒙上霜vi.结霜 11.curtain n.窗帘 12.border n.国界；边界(地区) 13.harbourn.(海)港；港口 14.enrol vi.& vt.(使)加入；注册；登记 15.idiom n.习语；成语

语篇品读 https://uww, （高考题源报刊） Egypt is known for its ancient artifacts， tombs， pyramids， and pharaohs. One of its most famous rulers， a boy king named Tutankhamen， has been a source for one of the greatest archeological （考古学的） discoveries in the world. Recently， my family and I visited Egypt for eight days. Located in Northern Africa， the country is home to more than 105 million people. While there， we explode red the pyramids， tombs， and temples built by the ancient Egyptians. Even before I visited any historical sites， I noticed great differences between Egypt and the United States. In the places I visited， I rarely saw traffic lights at the crossroads. Many buildings appeared unfinished. Often the top floor still had concrete pillars （柱子） and wires sticking out， as if another floor was to be built. Our guides gave us two different explanations for this. One was that an unfinished building wasn’t taxed. We were also told that when a father ran out of money， his son was supposed to finish the house. The first site we toured was the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was built more than 4，500 years ago by the pharaohs Khufu， Khafre， and Measure. While ex parts still don’t know how such an amazing structure could be built so long ago， Egyptologists （埃及古物学者） think that ramps （活动梯） were used to pull the heavy blocks up into position. It was long thought that enslaved people built the pyramids， but that isn’t true. Egyptian laborers who helped in the construction were finally buried near the king， which was considered a great honor. We also saw temples made of cut rock. “The Abu Simbel Temples were my favorite part of Egypt，” said my 10 year old sister， Vida. “Seeing the amazing temples was definitely worth the long drive and 4 am wake up call.” 埃及以其古老的文物、坟墓、金字塔和法老而闻名。它最著名的统治者之一，一个名叫图坦卡蒙的男孩国王，是世界上最伟大的考古发现之一的来源。 最近，我和家人去埃及旅游了八天。这个国家位于北非，拥有超过1.05亿人口。在那里，我们看到了古埃及人建造的金字塔、坟墓和寺庙。 甚至在我参观任何历史遗迹之前，我就注意到埃及和美国之间的巨大差异。在我访问的地方，我很少看到十字路口的红绿灯。 许多建筑物看起来都没有完工。通常顶楼还有混凝土柱子和伸出来的电线，好像要再建一层似的。我们的导游给了我们两个不同的解释。一是未完工的建筑不征税。我们还被告知，当一个父亲的钱花光了，他的儿子应该完成房子。 我们参观的第一个景点是吉萨大金字塔。它是4500多年前由法老胡夫、哈夫拉和Measure建造的。虽然人们仍然不知道如此惊人的建筑是如何在这么久以前建成的，但埃及古物学家认为，坡道(梯)是用来把沉重的石块拉到合适的位置的。长期以来，人们一直认为是奴隶建造了金字塔，但事实并非如此。参与建设的埃及工人最终被埋葬在国王身边，这被认为是一种巨大的荣誉。 我们还看到了用岩石凿成的庙宇。“阿布辛贝神庙是我在埃及最喜欢的地方，”我10岁的妹妹维达说。“看到这些令人惊叹的寺庙绝对值得长途开车，凌晨4点被叫醒。”

人与自然 旅行 主要讲了人们对睡眠旅游的兴趣日益浓厚，许多旅游机构将注意力集中在那些患有睡眠障碍的人身上。 ★★★★
Interest in sleep tourism is increasing, with a number of establishments focusing their attention on those suffering from sleep disorder.
Over the past 12 months, Park Hyatt New York has opened the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite, a 900-square-foot suite filled with sleep-enhancing amenities (便利设施), while Rosewood Hotels Resorts recently launched a collection of retreats called the Alchemy of Sleep, which are designed to “promote rest”, and Swedish manufacturer Hastens established the world’s first Hastens Sleep Spa Hotel, a 15-room boutique hotel a year later.
Dr Rebecca Robbins, a sleep researcher and co-author of the book Sleep for Success! believes this shift has been around for a long time, particularly with regards to hotels. “When it comes down to it, travelers book hotels for a place to sleep,” she says, before pointing out that in the past the hotel industry has primarily been focused on things that actually detract from sleep. “People often associate travel with luxury meals, the attractions and the things they do while they’re traveling, really almost at the cost of sleep.” she adds.
According to Dr Robbins, travel experiences centering around “healthy sleep strategies” that aim to supply guests with the tools they need to improve their sleep can be hugely beneficial, if an excellent medical or scientific expert is involved in some way to help to determine whether there may be something else at play.
Mandarin Oriental in Geneva has taken things a step further by teaming up with CENAS, a private medical sleeping clinic in Switzerland, to create a three-day program that studies guests’ sleeping patterns in order to identify potential sleeping disorders, giving professional suggestions if necessary.
As sleep tourism continues to grow, Dr Robbins says she’s looking forward to seeing “who really continues to pioneer and think creatively about this space”, stressing that there are countless means that haven’t been fully explored yet when it comes to travel and the science of sleep.
1．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A．To list the consequences of sleep disorder.
B．To provide evidence for the rise of sleep tourism.
C．To highlight the importance of quality sleep.
D．To prove the popularity of some hotels.
2．What does the underlined phrase “detract from” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Reduce. B．Benefit. C．Measure. D．Analyze.
3．What is special about Mandarin Oriental in Geneva
A．It sets up a private medical sleeping clinic in its hotel.
B．It offers professionally medical help in sleeping problems.
C．It provides special tour route for people with sleeping disorders.
D．It suggests some good and scientific sleeping bedding.
4．What does Dr Robbins probably think of the sleep tourism
A．It needs to be systematized. B．It meets some doubts.
C．It is facing bottleneck. D．It’s promising.

人与自然 旅行 主要讲述了作者在黑暗的夜晚来到乡下进行亲近自然的探索之旅，并介绍了亲近自然给自己带来的好处，进而倡导人们要走近自然，体验自然。 ★★★★
Into the Night
The lights from the cottage windows disappear, as we follow a dark footpath through a field into the open countryside. Thick clouds prevent the moonlight from lighting up the way ahead. Yet, as my eyes begin to get used to the darkness, the landscape around me reveals itself in a new light.
Mount Caburn, an iron-age hill fort (堡垒), looks like shadows against the sky. On the horizon is a tree bent by the wind. The rocky outcrop (露出的部分) at the top of the field turns out to be a flock of sleeping sheep. A fox cries, a pheasant crows, and the air is full of a strong earthy scent.
“For most of human history, man lived in close contact with the land,” says Nigel Berman, my guide. “Only in the past few hundred years have we shut ourselves off from our natural surroundings. Walking at night is a powerful way of reconnecting. When your vision is reduced, your other senses are sharpened.”
Nigel and I walk from the village of Glynde across the South Downs towards the town of Lewes. It is a walk I know well by day, but at night everything is different, and a familiar wander becomes a mini adventure. When Nigel told me not to bring a torch, I was alarmed. I can’t remember the last time I used my night vision and I’m not even sure how it works.
Normally, at this time of night, I would be having a glass of wine in front of the television, but being out in the countryside is a purer form of relaxation. I forget about work and family tensions, and begin to blend into the surroundings. There is no one other than Nigel to see or hear me and, with little visual distraction, my mind calms. I am aware of the breeze on my face, the rustle (沙沙声) of leaves, and as I watch the clouds slowly changing color against the sky like a natural sound and light show, it feels fascinating.
Having got used to the dark, we continue walking and the path that leads up the escarpment (峭壁) of Saxon Down now appears to almost shine in front of us. We climb carefully, feeling our way on the uneven ground. Walking at night is not without risk, but with knowledge and preparation it opens up a new side to walking.
As we reach the top, Lewes appears below as a twinkly mass of lights, a sight I would generally consider as inviting. In just a few hours, however, I find myself unwilling to walk back down. Walking at night is like discovering a new world on your doorstep. As Henry David Thoreau wrote in Night and Moonlight: “Night is certainly more novel and less profane (世俗的) than day.”
5．According to Nigel Berman, why is walking at night significant
A．It helps people appreciate natural surroundings.
B．It is a way to take risks and explore new places.
C．It improves our vision and sharpens other senses.
D．It makes us avoid distractions from work and family.
6．Why did the author feel alarmed when Nigel told them not to bring a torch
A．He was afraid of getting lost in the dark.
B．He hardly had any trust in Nigel as a guide.
C．He didn’t know how to use his night vision.
D．He worried about the way on uneven ground.
7．The night walk brought the following benefits to the author except ________.
A．a reconnection with nature
B．a chance of abandoning wine
C．an escape from daily tensions
D．an approach to getting relaxed
8．What can we learn about the author from the article
A．He had gone for a walk on his own at night before.
B．He intentionally picked a cloudy night for his walk.
C．He enjoyed the feeling after reaching the top of the mountain.
D．He badly wanted to go home to have a glass of wine after the walk.
9．What is the article mainly about
A．Describing his night hike through the countryside.
B．Contrasting the experience of day and night walking.
C．Encouraging readers to go on a night walk themselves.
D．Exploring the history of human connection with nature.

It’ s easy to feel 4 when you’re on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them are mechanics, since we often 5 hours in repair shops. But that was a much 6 way than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to cool off when it was 40℃ outside.

On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were 10 in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the 11 . Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 12 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.
This is why road trips were like 13 universities to us. We 14 our PhDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.

26 With our upright posture (姿势), flexible joints, and strong leg muscles, our bodies were literally designed with walking in mind, which is what makes it such perfect exercise. Why not focus on walking with a purpose
To get started, sit down with a map and make a plan. Ask yourself what you want to get out of walking aside from health benefits. 27 See new places Explore a city Knowing your priorities helps decide on the type of walk you want.
If making friends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them. Go online and look up your local mall (购物中心), which has groups that come daily to “walk the mall” and are always happy to include one more walker. Similarly, at your local park, you might find open groups of dog walkers who conduct diverse group hikes. 28 In most cities, such walks are going on almost every weekend in support of cancer research and other humanitarian causes.
If lone walks are what you’re after, ask the local tourist authority about local hikes that get you out of town and into the wilderness or countryside. Thanks to the Rails to Trails program, railways across America are being transformed into scenic walking paths. 29
Headed to a new city Then tie on your walking shoes and prepare to get to know it from the ground up! Many historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. 30 And small towns generally have a scenic route that will carry you past its best shops and cafes.
A．Humans were made for walking:
B．Do you want to meet other people
C．Some tourist offices even provide free maps.
D．They’re a perfect way to explore new territory.
E．Do you expect to get fit and stay in great shape
F．But remember to stay on the lookout for charity walks.
