The Most Extreme Travel Adventures in the World
The driest place on Earth: Atacama Desert, Chile
You'll definitely need the right kind of sunscreen if you plan on traveling through this desert. From October 1903 to January 1918, Arica did not see so much as one drop of rain, making it the longest rainless period in the world's recorded history. Less populated, the Atacama Desert has several hotels to choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the land.
The hottest place on Earth: Lut Desert, Iran
Here, temperatures soar to as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's important to have a game plan for staying cool and know the signs of heatstroke in case you develop symptoms. According to a local legend, the name Dasht-e Lut means “toasted wheat” in Persian, referencing a story about a load of wheat that burst into flames after being accidentally left out in the desert for a few days. Though tourists visit this desert land, it's a destination only for those willing to take up the challenge of surviving the heat and the unbearably dry climate.
The closest place to outer space: Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador
An inactive volcano that last erupted in approximately 550 AD, Mount Chimborazo stands at over 20,000 feet high. While Mount Qomolangma is over 29,000 feet tall, due to the position of the mountain on the earth's surface, the peak of Mount Chimborazo is the furthest spot from the center of the earth. That also means that standing on Mount Chimborazo will put you closest to outer space, which humans can't get to on foot.
The most isolated place on Earth: Tristan da Cunha, the United Kingdom
Are you looking for a getaway from your daily life Forget these popular island getaways and get to this island. Discovered by the Portuguese explorer Tristao da Cunha in 1506, the island is home to fewer than 300 inhabitants and has no airport; Tristan da Cunha is accessible only by sea.
1.Which of the following is a must during your visit to the Atacama Desert
A.Booking a suitable hotel. B.Having a basic knowledge of Martian soil.
C.Having a game plan for staying cool. D.Buying a suitable sunscreen.
2.Which place best suits people who have a high tolerance to high temperature
A.The Atacama Desert. B.The Lut Desert. C.Mount Chimborazo. D.Tristan da Cunha.
3.How can one get to Tristan da Cunha
A.By plane. B.By boat. C.By train. D.By car.

(2024山东济宁一中月考)
Growing up on a farm, Tori James spent most of her early years outdoors, building shelters and playing in muddy streams. She describes herself as an ambitious, adventurous child who was fascinated by the survival guidelines on her bedside table. Even so, James says she was unaware at that time that, one day, she might be the youngest British woman to reach the summit of Mount Qomolangma.
Today, James is a professional adventurer. Yet ahead of her first expedition at the age of 18, she spent a long time mapping the cracks of Iceland's Vatnaj kull Glacier with the British Exploring Society. James recalls doubting her ability to last a month out in the cold without the comfort of a hot bath. “It's by stepping out of our comfort zone that we understand our true potential,”she explains. “That's when the magic happens.”
Although James has spent a significant part of her life exploring some of the most remote landscapes in the world, when it comes to traveling, she believes that there are numerous ways for everyone to push back their boundaries, other than by undertaking physical challenges. James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical(成见的) image of the rugged, hardy explorer. “I am such a believer that, with the right support and skills, everyone can bring something to an expedition,” she says.
Sometimes, she adds, it's only out in the field that someone's hidden talents emerge. A diverse team can be the key to a successful trip, particularly given the role of exploration in today's world. “Historically, exploration has been about people finding nature's hardest obstacles and trying to either overcome them, or beat them,” says James. “But now, for me at least, exploration is about connecting with nature, not conquering it. It's about our connection to the living world around us, it's about sharing its importance once we've returned and it's about figuring out how to go on an adventure sustainably.”
4.What do we know about James
A.She was once questioned about her ability.
B.She enjoys reading thrilling adventure survival stories.
C.She was a child with big dreams and a desire for exploration.
D.She might be the youngest woman to conquer Mount Qomolangma.
5.What would James probably agree with according to Paragraph 3
A.Few ways are there for us to push back our boundaries.
B.Future explorers are supposed to take risks bravely.
C.Exploring remote landscapes in the world is of significance.
D.Support and skills are sure to bring out the best in explorers.
6.What might be the value of exploration nowadays
A.To make the most of people's hidden talent. B.To overcome the possible hardest obstacles.
C.To figure out how to have a successful adventure. D.To engage in sustainable interactions with nature.
7.What might be the best title of this text
A.Born to Be Adventurers B.Connecting with the Living World
C.James's Amazing Expeditions D.Adventurer James's Travel Insight

基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.Oxygen 2.border 3.zone 4.initial
Ⅱ.1.a 考查冠词。句意:简的生日聚会结果很失败,因为没有几个客人来参加。failure作可数名词时,意为“失败的人或事”,此处表示泛指,且failure以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.crowded 考查形容词。句意:通往音乐厅的楼梯上挤满了等待入场的兴奋的乐迷。be crowded with意为“挤满,满是”,故本空应用形容词crowded。
3.thrilled 考查形容词。句意:如果您能加入我们这场活动的在线直播,我会非常激动。设空处作表语,且主语为指人的代词I,故本空应用形容词thrilled,意为“非常兴奋的,极为激动的”。
4.be confirmed 考查被动语态。句意:五人或五人以上的组需要特殊安排,并且必须事先确认。动词confirm和句子主语Groups of five or more之间为被动关系,故本空应用被动语态。空前为情态动词must,故填be confirmed。
5.to break 考查非谓语动词。句意:当你试图突破极限时,你将面临巨大的困难。attempt to do sth.意为“尝试做某事,试图做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式作宾语。故填to break。
6.making 考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,我的英语掌握得很好,所以我很容易和外国人进行良好的沟通。根据句意可知,本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词形式。故填making。
类比启发

4.resulted in 5.benefit from
Ⅳ.1.brought students' mental health into focus
2.couldn't fall asleep until 3.It is still not known if/whether 4.What is certain
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.an 考查冠词。此处表示“攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一次体验”,表泛指,所以要用不定冠词,而且experience的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
2.making 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,本句已有系动词is,因此设空处用非谓语动词,且make与其逻辑主语之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。
3.and 考查连词。eat和make money之间是并列关系,故填and。
4.shares 考查时态和主谓一致。由上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时,根据主语可知,此处谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
5.themselves 考查反身代词。句意:这迫使人们来审视他们自己的内心深处。inside为介词,根据句意可知此处应用反身代词,表示“他们自己”,故填themselves。
6.To succeed 考查不定式。分析句子可知,本句已有谓语must have,因此设空处为非谓语动词。此处表示目的,故应用动词不定式。
7.toughness 考查名词。设空处作have的宾语,被形容词physical和mental修饰,应用名词形式。toughness意为“坚韧”。
类比启发
常见的有“形容词+-ness变名词”的用法的词有dark→darkness;happy→happiness(变y为i,加-ness);sad→sadness;ill→illness;kind→kindness;careful→carefulness;great→greatness;friendly→friendliness(变y为i,加-ness);lonely→loneliness(变y为i,加-ness)等。
8.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,指代先行词People,指人,并在从句中作主语,故用关系代词who或that。
9.from 考查介词。benefit from...从……中获益。
10.totally 考查副词。设空处作状语,应用副词形式,故填totally。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了明代著名探险家徐霞客的生平和他在旅行方面的成就。
1.whom 考查定语从句。句意:中国有许多著名的探险家,其中一个是张骞。分析句子可知,“one of 1 ” 引导定语从句,修饰先行词explorers,本空在从句中作介词of的宾语,指人,故应用关系代词whom。
2.opening 考查非谓语动词。句意:他游历了中亚,从而开辟了成为丝绸之路的贸易通道。本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词形式,故填opening。
3.were undertaken 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:这些旅程是在政府的指导下进行的,然而,徐霞客则不同。设空处为谓语部分,本空动作发生在过去,且动词undertake和主语These journeys之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数形式,故填were undertaken。
4.comfortable 考查形容词。句意:然而,他拒绝了舒适的生活,试图周游全国。本空修饰名词life,应用形容词作定语,故填comfortable。
5.to have traveled 考查非谓语动词。句意:作为最伟大的陆地探险家之一,据说徐霞客一生徒步游历了中国数万千米的山川。be said to have done sth.意为“据说已经做了某事”。不定式表示的动作发生在句子谓语表示的动作之前,故应用不定式的完成式。
6.an 考查冠词。句意:徐霞客的游记和日记的书面作品包含约404,000个汉字,对于他那个时代的一个作家来说是一部巨大的作品。空后名词work意为“作品”,为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,空后的enormous发音以元音音素开头,故此处应用不定冠词an。
7.details 考查名词复数。detail意为“细节”时,为可数名词,根据下文“geography, botany and local history”可知,detail应用复数形式。
8.nor 考查连词。此处表示“徐霞客的旅行既不能归类为国家大事,也不能归类为改变历史进程的伟大事业”。neither...nor...意为“既不……也不……”,故本空应用连词nor。
9.curiosity 考查名词。本空作动词satisfy的宾语,应用名词形式。satisfy one's curiosity意为“满足某人的好奇心”。
10.Naturally 考查副词。句意:理所当然,他是中国背包旅行的先驱。设空处位于句首,空后有逗号与句子隔开,且提示词为形容词,故推测设空处作状语,修饰整个句子,应用副词形式。注意,句首单词的首字母需要大写,故填Naturally。
【高频词汇】 1.famed adj.著名的 2.under the direction of 在……的指导下;在……的领导之下

Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个世界上最极端的旅行目的地:地球上最干燥的地方、最热的地方、最接近外太空的地方和最偏僻的地方。
1.D 细节理解题。根据“The driest place on Earth: Atacama Desert, Chile”部分的“You'll definitely need the right kind of sunscreen if you plan on traveling through this desert.”可知,在你去阿塔卡马沙漠的时候,防晒霜是必需品。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据“The hottest place on Earth: Lut Desert, Iran”部分的“Here, temperatures soar to as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit”及“it's a destination only for those willing to take up the challenge of surviving the heat and the unbearably dry climate”可知,伊朗的卢特沙漠非常热,因此这里适合可以忍耐高温的人。故选B。
3.B 细节理解题。根据“The most isolated place on Earth: Tristan da Cunha, the United Kingdom”部分的“the island is home to fewer than 300 inhabitants and has no airport;Tristan da Cunha is accessible only by sea”可知岛上没有机场,只能通过海路到达,由此可知要去这里需要乘船。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.definitely adv.肯定地;明确地 2.cater to迎合,满足需要 3.accidentally adv.意外地,偶然
4.take up接受(建议或挑战) 5.approximately adv.大约
长难句
原句 Less populated, the Atacama Desert has several hotels to choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the land.
分析 本句是主从复合句。“Less populated”为形容词短语作状语;“that cater to tourists...”和“who come to explore the land”均为定语从句,分别修饰先行词hotels和tourists。
译文 阿塔卡马沙漠人口稀少,有几家酒店可供选择,以迎合前来探索这片土地的游客。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Tori James从小喜欢探险,长大后成为专业的探险家,形成了自己对探险旅行的独特见解。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She describes herself as an ambitious, adventurous child who was fascinated by the survival guidelines on her bedside table.(她形容自己是一个被床头柜上的生存指南迷住了的雄心勃勃、富有冒险精神的孩子。)”可知,她曾经是个怀揣远大梦想且热衷于探索的孩子。故选C。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical image of the rugged, hardy explorer.”可知,James还鼓励那些有志于探险的人不要对传统观念中那种粗犷顽强的探险家形象反感。由此可推知,James认为未来的探险家应该勇敢地冒险。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But now, for me at least, exploration is about connecting...how to go on an adventure sustainably.”可推知,与自然进行可持续的互动可能是当今探索的价值所在。故选D。
7.D 主旨大意题。
Para. 1 Tori James童年时对户外探险的热爱。
Para. 2 James早期的自我怀疑与成长。
Para. 3 James鼓励人们探索以发现自己的潜力。
Para. 4 James认为现代探险的意义在于连接自然与可持续探险。
通读全文并根据各段大意可知,本文主要讲述了James对探险旅行的独特见解。故D项“探险家James的旅行见解”为最佳文章标题。
【高频词汇】 1.ambitious adj.有野心的 2.adventurous adj.有冒险精神的 3.summit n.山顶,顶峰
4.expedition n.探险 5.map v.绘制……的地图 6.other than除了……以外 7.emerge v.显现,露出 8.conquer v.征服
长难句
原句 Although James has spent a significant part of her life exploring some of the most remote landscapes in the world, when it comes to traveling, she believes that there are numerous ways for everyone to push back their boundaries, other than by undertaking physical challenges.
分析 本句为主从复合句。Although引导让步状语从句,其中包含spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”结构;that引导宾语从句,作动词believes的宾语;不定式短语“to push back their boundaries”作后置定语,修饰ways。
译文 虽然詹姆斯将她生命中很大一部分时间花在探索世界上一些最偏远的风景上,但说到旅行,她认为,除了进行身体挑战之外,每个人都有很多方法来突破自己的极限。

James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical(成见的) image of the rugged, hardy explorer. “I am such a believer that, with the right support and skills, everyone can bring something to an expedition,” she says.
Sometimes, she adds, it's only out in the field that someone's hidden talents emerge. A diverse team can be the key to a successful trip, particularly given the role of exploration in today's world. “Historically, exploration has been about people finding nature's hardest obstacles and trying to either overcome them, or beat them,” says James. “But now, for me at least, exploration is about connecting with nature, not conquering it. It's about our connection to the living world around us, it's about sharing its importance once we've returned and it's about figuring out how to go on an adventure sustainably.”

Ⅱ.1.a 考查冠词。句意:简的生日聚会结果很失败,因为没有几个客人来参加。failure作可数名词时,意为“失败的人或事”,此处表示泛指,且failure以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.crowded 考查形容词。句意:通往音乐厅的楼梯上挤满了等待入场的兴奋的乐迷。be crowded with意为“挤满,满是”,故本空应用形容词crowded。
3.thrilled 考查形容词。句意:如果您能加入我们这场活动的在线直播,我会非常激动。设空处作表语,且主语为指人的代词I,故本空应用形容词thrilled,意为“非常兴奋的,极为激动的”。
4.be confirmed 考查被动语态。句意:五人或五人以上的组需要特殊安排,并且必须事先确认。动词confirm和句子主语Groups of five or more之间为被动关系,故本空应用被动语态。空前为情态动词must,故填be confirmed。
5.to break 考查非谓语动词。句意:当你试图突破极限时,你将面临巨大的困难。attempt to do sth.意为“尝试做某事,试图做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式作宾语。故填to break。
6.making 考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,我的英语掌握得很好,所以我很容易和外国人进行良好的沟通。根据句意可知,本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词形式。故填making。

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.an 考查冠词。此处表示“攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一次体验”,表泛指,所以要用不定冠词,而且experience的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
2.making 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,本句已有系动词is,因此设空处用非谓语动词,且make与其逻辑主语之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。
3.and 考查连词。eat和make money之间是并列关系,故填and。
4.shares 考查时态和主谓一致。由上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时,根据主语可知,此处谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
5.themselves 考查反身代词。句意:这迫使人们来审视他们自己的内心深处。inside为介词,根据句意可知此处应用反身代词,表示“他们自己”,故填themselves。
6.To succeed 考查不定式。分析句子可知,本句已有谓语must have,因此设空处为非谓语动词。此处表示目的,故应用动词不定式。
7.toughness 考查名词。设空处作have的宾语,被形容词physical和mental修饰,应用名词形式。toughness意为“坚韧”。
类比启发
常见的有“形容词+-ness变名词”的用法的词有dark→darkness;happy→happiness(变y为i,加-ness);sad→sadness;ill→illness;kind→kindness;careful→carefulness;great→greatness;friendly→friendliness(变y为i,加-ness);lonely→loneliness(变y为i,加-ness)等。
8.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,指代先行词People,指人,并在从句中作主语,故用关系代词who或that。
9.from 考查介词。benefit from...从……中获益。
10.totally 考查副词。设空处作状语,应用副词形式,故填totally。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了明代著名探险家徐霞客的生平和他在旅行方面的成就。
1.whom 考查定语从句。句意:中国有许多著名的探险家,其中一个是张骞。分析句子可知,“one of 1 ” 引导定语从句,修饰先行词explorers,本空在从句中作介词of的宾语,指人,故应用关系代词whom。
2.opening 考查非谓语动词。句意:他游历了中亚,从而开辟了成为丝绸之路的贸易通道。本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词形式,故填opening。
3.were undertaken 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:这些旅程是在政府的指导下进行的,然而,徐霞客则不同。设空处为谓语部分,本空动作发生在过去,且动词undertake和主语These journeys之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数形式,故填were undertaken。
4.comfortable 考查形容词。句意:然而,他拒绝了舒适的生活,试图周游全国。本空修饰名词life,应用形容词作定语,故填comfortable。
5.to have traveled 考查非谓语动词。句意:作为最伟大的陆地探险家之一,据说徐霞客一生徒步游历了中国数万千米的山川。be said to have done sth.意为“据说已经做了某事”。不定式表示的动作发生在句子谓语表示的动作之前,故应用不定式的完成式。
6.an 考查冠词。句意:徐霞客的游记和日记的书面作品包含约404,000个汉字,对于他那个时代的一个作家来说是一部巨大的作品。空后名词work意为“作品”,为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,空后的enormous发音以元音音素开头,故此处应用不定冠词an。
7.details 考查名词复数。detail意为“细节”时,为可数名词,根据下文“geography, botany and local history”可知,detail应用复数形式。
8.nor 考查连词。此处表示“徐霞客的旅行既不能归类为国家大事,也不能归类为改变历史进程的伟大事业”。neither...nor...意为“既不……也不……”,故本空应用连词nor。
9.curiosity 考查名词。本空作动词satisfy的宾语,应用名词形式。satisfy one's curiosity意为“满足某人的好奇心”。
10.Naturally 考查副词。句意:理所当然,他是中国背包旅行的先驱。设空处位于句首,空后有逗号与句子隔开,且提示词为形容词,故推测设空处作状语,修饰整个句子,应用副词形式。注意,句首单词的首字母需要大写,故填Naturally。

Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个世界上最极端的旅行目的地:地球上最干燥的地方、最热的地方、最接近外太空的地方和最偏僻的地方。
1.D 细节理解题。根据“The driest place on Earth: Atacama Desert, Chile”部分的“You'll definitely need the right kind of sunscreen if you plan on traveling through this desert.”可知,在你去阿塔卡马沙漠的时候,防晒霜是必需品。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据“The hottest place on Earth: Lut Desert, Iran”部分的“Here, temperatures soar to as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit”及“it's a destination only for those willing to take up the challenge of surviving the heat and the unbearably dry climate”可知,伊朗的卢特沙漠非常热,因此这里适合可以忍耐高温的人。故选B。
3.B 细节理解题。根据“The most isolated place on Earth: Tristan da Cunha, the United Kingdom”部分的“the island is home to fewer than 300 inhabitants and has no airport;Tristan da Cunha is accessible only by sea”可知岛上没有机场,只能通过海路到达,由此可知要去这里需要乘船。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.definitely adv.肯定地;明确地 2.cater to迎合,满足需要 3.accidentally adv.意外地,偶然
4.take up接受(建议或挑战) 5.approximately adv.大约
长难句
原句 Less populated, the Atacama Desert has several hotels to choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the land.
分析 本句是主从复合句。“Less populated”为形容词短语作状语;“that cater to tourists...”和“who come to explore the land”均为定语从句,分别修饰先行词hotels和tourists。
译文 阿塔卡马沙漠人口稀少,有几家酒店可供选择,以迎合前来探索这片土地的游客。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Tori James从小喜欢探险,长大后成为专业的探险家,形成了自己对探险旅行的独特见解。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She describes herself as an ambitious, adventurous child who was fascinated by the survival guidelines on her bedside table.(她形容自己是一个被床头柜上的生存指南迷住了的雄心勃勃、富有冒险精神的孩子。)”可知,她曾经是个怀揣远大梦想且热衷于探索的孩子。故选C。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical image of the rugged, hardy explorer.”可知,James还鼓励那些有志于探险的人不要对传统观念中那种粗犷顽强的探险家形象反感。由此可推知,James认为未来的探险家应该勇敢地冒险。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But now, for me at least, exploration is about connecting...how to go on an adventure sustainably.”可推知,与自然进行可持续的互动可能是当今探索的价值所在。故选D。
7.D 主旨大意题。
Para. 1 Tori James童年时对户外探险的热爱。
Para. 2 James早期的自我怀疑与成长。
Para. 3 James鼓励人们探索以发现自己的潜力。
Para. 4 James认为现代探险的意义在于连接自然与可持续探险。
通读全文并根据各段大意可知,本文主要讲述了James对探险旅行的独特见解。故D项“探险家James的旅行见解”为最佳文章标题。
【高频词汇】 1.ambitious adj.有野心的 2.adventurous adj.有冒险精神的 3.summit n.山顶,顶峰
4.expedition n.探险 5.map v.绘制……的地图 6.other than除了……以外 7.emerge v.显现,露出 8.conquer v.征服
长难句
原句 Although James has spent a significant part of her life exploring some of the most remote landscapes in the world, when it comes to traveling, she believes that there are numerous ways for everyone to push back their boundaries, other than by undertaking physical challenges.
分析 本句为主从复合句。Although引导让步状语从句,其中包含spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”结构;that引导宾语从句,作动词believes的宾语;不定式短语“to push back their boundaries”作后置定语,修饰ways。
译文 虽然詹姆斯将她生命中很大一部分时间花在探索世界上一些最偏远的风景上,但说到旅行,她认为,除了进行身体挑战之外,每个人都有很多方法来突破自己的极限。
