Going to bed in one major city and waking up in another, toasting the scenery as a new country slips past; being rocked to sleep as the train rattles across the continent. It's no wonder that the night trains of Europe have been a byword(代名词) for romance.
In fact, over the past decade, many of Europe's night train routes have been cut off. For many, it seemed that the end of the line was near. But recently there has been a recovery of night trains across Europe. On December 8th 2021, four national rail providers teamed up to announce new routes between 13 European cities.
“You leave work at the usual time, have dinner, proceed to the station, get on the train, and wake up in the place you want to be. There's no turning up at the airport at a very strange hour, as you do for a budget flight,”says Monisha Rajesh, author of “Around the World in 80 Trains”.
In fact, “flight shaming” has been sweeping across Europe in the past few years. In 2018,domestic flights were down by 9% in Sweden.
Europe's geography also helps the argument for night trains, says Nicolas Forien, a member of Back on Track, who points out that half the flights leaving airports in France are either internal, or going to a neighboring country. “The distance between European capitals is mostly ideal for night trains. The continent could be a night-train paradise.”
1.What does the author say about the night trains of Europe
A.They run at a high speed.
B.They are popular among Europeans.
C.They experienced a decline a century ago.
D.They bring passengers a sense of romance.
2.What does the underlined word “budget” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Long.　　　　B.Cheap.　　　　C.Short.　　　　D.Expensive.
3.Which of the following has contributed to the recovery of Europe's night trains
①flight shaming　②the internal budget flight　③Europe's geography　④the tourism boom
A.①④　　　　B.②③　　　　C.①③　　　　D.③④
4.What is the text mainly about
A.Why Europeans choose to travel by night train.
B.How Europe's night trains come back to life.
C.When Europeans start taking an interest in night trains.
D.Whether the network of Europe's night trains has been cut off.

“Dad,” I said one day, “Let's take a trip. Why don't you fly out and meet me ”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father saw me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wanted me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agreed to travel with me through some national parks. We met four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop ” asked my father. “What time is it ” “Still don't have a watch ”
Less than an hour away was Mount Rushmore. As he stared up at the four Presidents carved in rocks, his mouth and eyes opened slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable!” he said.
Sculptor Gutzon devoted 14 years to this sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stared up and I asked myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything ” No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father's voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we were at Yellowstone National Park, where we had a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad ” I asked. “Only once,” he said. “I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence—it's probably the same thing I'd say about my father—is what I would want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father said, “I have never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize—and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I called my father. “The photos are wonderful,” he said. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I told him I had decided to settle down and wear a watch.
5.What can we learn about the father from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
A.He followed the fashion.　　　
B.He liked the author's collection of stamps.
C.He got bored with his job.　　　
D.He was unhappy with the author's lifestyle.
6.What can be known about the author from the underlined paragraph
A.He wants his children to learn from their grandfather.
B.He comes to understand what parental love means.
C.He learns how to communicate with his father.
D.He hopes to give whatever he can to his father.
7.What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story
A.The call solved their disagreements.　　　B.The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.
C.They decided to learn photography together.　　　D.They began to change their attitudes to life.
8.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Love Nature, Love Life　　　B.A Son Lost in Adventure
C.A Journey with Dad　　　D.The Art of Travel

Ⅰ.1.froze　2.duration　3.antique　4.literally　5.massive
Ⅱ.1.pleasant/pleasing　考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的名词smell,应用形容词;此处指令人愉快的气味,应用pleasant或pleasing。
2.breathless　考查形容词。设空处作表语且被副词completely修饰,应用形容词;由语境可知,这里指“我已经完全喘不过气来了”,故填breathless。
3.freezing　考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的名词morning,应用形容词;由语境可知此处指“极冷的早晨”,故填freezing。
4.to succeed　考查动词不定式。 be bound to do sth.表示“一定会做某事”。故填to succeed。
5.arose　考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,when引导时间状语从句,设空处作主句的谓语;由空后的immediately及从句中的entered并结合语境可知,主句应用一般过去时,arise的过去式为arose。故填arose。
6.Ordered　考查动词-ed形式作状语。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语且无连词,故此处应用非谓语动词的某种形式;提示词order与句子主语the books之间为被动关系,因此应用动词-ed形式。故填Ordered。
7.intended　考查动词-ed形式作定语。设空处修饰名词message,提示词intend与message之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应用动词-ed形式作定语。故填intended。
8.Compared　考查动词-ed形式作状语。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语且无连词,故此处应用非谓语动词的某种形式;过去分词短语compared to...表示“与……相比”,常放在句首作状语。故填Compared。

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.who　考查定语从句。设空处前面是Li Daiyu and Liu Qian,设空处后面是谓语动词went,此处指的是前面提到的这两个人去加拿大,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who来引导。
2.the　考查冠词。 make the most of...意为“充分利用……”。故填the。
3.immediately　考查副词。设空处作状语修饰flying,应用副词。故填immediately。
4.exploring　考查动词-ing形式。spend some time (in) doing sth.表示“花费一些时间做某事”。故填exploring。
5.amazed　考查形容词。 根据前面的主语they(她们)和系动词were可知此处应填以-ed形式结尾的形容词,表示“感到惊讶的”。故填amazed。
6.for　考查介词。 be bound for...意为“准备前往……”,此处形容词短语bound for Jasper作后置定语,修饰前面的名词coach。故填for。
7.pleasure　考查名词。设空处作added to的宾语,且空前有形容词性物主代词their,应用名词。故填pleasure。
8.is　考查时态和主谓一致。设空处前面的which引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Edmonton,关系词在从句中作主语,所以此处的be动词应用第三人称单数形式;此处表示埃德蒙顿是很多大型购物中心的所在地,是一个客观事实,应用一般现在时。故填is。
9.farms　考查名词复数。由设空处前面的a bunch of可知此处应用名词复数。故填farms。
10.that　考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,本句为强调句型,对“not until 9:30 a.m.”进行强调。故填that。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。Lucy Black最近成为最年轻的环游世界各国的人,她分享了自己的旅行经历和旅行感受。
1.has visited　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:到23岁时,为了挑战自己,挑战她认为女性旅行者可能达到的极限,她已经走遍了所有的国家。分析句子成分可知,设空处作谓语;根据语境及前面的时间状语By the age of 23可知应用现在完成时;主语she为单数,谓语也用单数。故填has visited。
2.what　考查宾语从句。句意同上题。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,作介词of的宾语;从句中she believed为插入语,缺少主语,设空处指“……的事物”,因此应用连接代词what引导从句。
3.It　考查代词。句意:这并不是一帆风顺的,Lucy遇到了很多困难,包括安排进入一些国家的签证。分析句子可知,and连接两个并列分句,设空处作前一分句的主语;结合上下文可知,此处在描述Lucy的旅行情况,应用代词it指代她的旅行,即“这并不是一帆风顺的”。故填It。
4.including　考查介词。句意同上题。此处在列举Lucy遇到的困难,应用介词引出具体的困难。故填including。
5.were beaten　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:但她旅途中令人难忘的经历胜过这些挑战。分析句子成分可知,设空处为句子的谓语,根据此处语境和上下文时态可知应用一般过去时;根据空后的by可知提示词beat和主语the challenges之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;主语为复数,谓语也用复数。故填were beaten。
6.a　考查冠词。句意:Lucy有幸结识了各种各样的人,体验了不同的文化。a variety of意为“各种各样的……”,为固定短语。故填a。
7.most valuable　考查形容词的最高级。句意:但她说,最宝贵的经历是发现了一种新的独立感。根据语境及空前的the和空后的of可知,此处构成“the+形容词最高级+名词单数+of...”,意为“……中最……的……”,因此设空处应用valuable的最高级。故填most valuable。
8.independence　考查名词。句意同上题。分析句子成分可知,空处作介词of的宾语,结合Lucy独自一人环游世界的经历可推知,这里指“独立”,应用提示词depend的名词形式dependence的反义词independence。
9.to recover　考查动词不定式。句意:她补充说,“但如果我说,在过去的一年里我没有享受着花时间从过去三年对我的身体造成的所有损耗中恢复过来,那我就是在撒谎。”take time to do sth.意为“花时间做某事”,动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to recover。
10.that　考查定语从句。句意同上题。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the wear and tear,且先行词被all修饰,指物,关系词在从句中作done的宾语,因此应用关系代词that引导从句。
【高频词汇】　1.effort n.努力;艰难的尝试
2.challenge v.向……挑战 n.挑战　3.limit n.极限;限制
4.get around各处走动　5.meet with 碰到;遭遇(某事)

Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了欧洲夜班火车是如何“起死回生”的。
1.D　细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“It's no wonder that the night trains of Europe have been a byword for romance.(难怪欧洲的夜班火车已成为浪漫的代名词。)”可知D项正确。
2.B　词义猜测题。画线词所在段语境为:你按照往常的时间下班,吃饭,去车站,上火车,然后在你想去的地方醒来。不可能像你……一样,在非常奇怪的时间出现在机场。由“在非常奇怪的时间出现在机场”可推断,这里指的是乘客为了省钱而购买冷门时段的低价飞机票。所以budget flight表示“廉价航班”。故选B。
3.C　细节理解题。关于欧洲夜班火车“起死回生”的原因,文章第四、五段分别提到了“flight shaming”和“Europe's geography”。故选C。
4.B　主旨大意题。文章第一段引出文章的话题:欧洲夜班火车;第二段具体描述欧洲夜班火车的情况;第三、四、五段解释了欧洲夜班火车“起死回生”的原因。由此可知,本文主要讲的是欧洲夜班火车是如何“起死回生”的。故选B。
【高频词汇】　1.route n.路线;常规路线　2.recovery n.复得;改善;复苏;恢复　3.team up合作,协作
4.announce v.宣布;宣称;通知　5.flight n.航班;空中航行;飞行　6.sweep across席卷,横扫　7.domestic adj.国内的　8.argument n.论据,论点;争论
【差距词汇】　1.rattle v.(车辆运行时)发出连续短促的高声　2.paradise n.天堂;乐园,完美去处
长难句
原句　Europe's geography also helps the argument for night trains, says Nicolas Forien, a member of Back on Track, who points out that half the flights leaving airports in France are either internal, or going to a neighboring country.
分析　a member of Back on Track为Nicolas Forien的同位语;who points out...为定语从句;that引导宾语从句;leaving airports in France是flights的定语。
译文　Nicolas Forien是Back on Track这一组织的成员,他说,欧洲的地形也有助于支持夜班火车的论点。他指出离开法国机场的航班中,有一半要么是国内的要么是去邻国的。
B
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一直工作稳定的父亲在退休之后跟作者一起出去游玩,在这次旅行后,作者和他父亲都改变了原来的生活方式。
5.D　推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段的内容可知,父亲的生活方式与作者大不相同,并且父亲希望作者能够安定下来。由此推测,父亲不满意作者的生活方式。故选D。
6.B　推理判断题。根据画线段上一段中的“I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”可知,作者的爷爷很爱作者的父亲,但是他们都不善于表达;根据画线段可知,作者也想让自己的孩子这样。由此推测,作者从他父亲的话里慢慢理解了父母之爱的意义。故选B。
7.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,父亲询问作者什么时候开始下一次旅行,说明父亲的生活方式发生了改变;而作者说想安定下来,说明他不想再和以前一样到处漂泊,说明作者的想法也发生了变化。故选D。
8.C　主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者和父亲一起出去游玩,在这次旅行后,作者对自己之前的生活方式产生了怀疑,决定安定下来,为一个目标而努力;而父亲在这次旅行后认识到外面的世界很精彩,也改变了他自己的想法。所有的改变都是因为这一次旅行,所以这次旅行是本文的核心,是故事发展的关键背景,因此C项“A Journey with Dad”最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。
【高频词汇】　1.retire v.退休;退役　2.wake up醒来　3.put on戴上;穿上　4.aimlessly adv.漫无目的地
5.settle down定居下来,过安定的生活
【熟词生义】　drift v.漂泊;流浪
