三、阅读理解
A few weeks ago, my school’s ninth grade class went on a trip to the Black Country in England, UK, to learn about geography and history. Many believe the name comes from the 1760s because of the smoke put out by factories at that time. There is also a 1-meter-thick coal seam (煤层) close to the ground’s surface in Black Country.
The aim of this trip was to prepare us for a geography project about rivers. We also learned more about the history of England during the Industrial Revolution (革命). On the first day of our trip, we went to Carding Mill Valley near Birmingham and learned about the changes that could happen to a river as it flowed downstream (下游). Our teacher had given us a few lessons on how rivers worked before the trip, so we were well-prepared for the project we had to do.
The next day, we went to the famous Black Museum where we learned about coal mining (开采) and the lives of the people who lived during the Industrial Revolution. The highlight of the day was when we visited a coal mine and watched a skilled man make iron chain.
The trip was truly satisfying. I like how we got the chance to experience what we learned in class and practice it in real life. It was a useful way to get us more interested in what we were learning about. It also showed us the importance of the journey while learning something new.
19.________, the ninth grade class went on a trip to the Black Country a few weeks ago.
A.To enjoy a beautiful river B.To visit a skilled man
C.To visit a coal mine D.To learn about geography and history
20.It’s believed that the Black Country was named for ________.
A.coal production B.the name of the place
C.the smoke put out by the factories D.its black people
21.The underlined word “highlight” in the third paragraph means ________ in Chinese.
A.亮点 B.高度 C.灯光 D.疲惫
22.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.On the first day’s trip, we visited a coal mine.
B.A river will change as it flows downstream.
C.We knew the lives of the people who lived before the Industrial Revolution.
D.Our teacher gave us lessons on how rivers worked after the trip.
Modern life is impossible without traveling. ________ With a modern plane you can travel in one day to places which took a month or more one hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages. You can see the view (景色) when you are traveling. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey (旅行) pleasant.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when it is possible. There are large ships and river boats. You can choose the one you like to visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like. You can stop anywhere you wish: a place where there is something interesting to see, a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or a comfortable hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for nice trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business (出差).

A.By boat. B.By ship. C.By train. D.On foot.
