Do you know what it is called?The Grand Canyon2. Where is the place? Is it in China, Australia, the USA or some other country?In the USA3. Are you deeply impressed at the sight of such a picture? Can you describe the place in a few sentence? Our tour bus was full as we pulled into the Grand Canyon in Arizona late one Thursday afternoon. The air was hot, heavy, and dusty as we slowly unloaded from the bus. We were all from countries around the world, so none of us had ever seen the Grand Canyon before, but at that moment everyone wanted to check into the motel and rest. One of the Japanese travellers, a friend of mine, walked to the other side of the parking lot and suddenly shouted,” Oh, so beautiful!”A trip to the Grand CanyonQuestions:1. What kind of feeling does the phrase pulled into convey(传递)?It carries the feeling of slowness, tiredness and final relief after reaching the end of a long journey.2. What does the phrase unloaded from mean? Can it be replaced by got off?It means took the luggage along and got off the bus. It also carries the meaning of pulling the tired bodies and heavy luggage out after the long journey. Grammatically it can be replaced by got off, but the meaning expressed by got off is quite plain, not as strong as unloaded. To put it another way, got off states a simple fact, while unloaded carries a certain kind of feeling in this context and is thus more expressive.pull into (车子)开入,驶入1.

That’s just what we had long dreamed of seeing! Greatly excited, we walked along the rim and pointed here and there until one or two of our friends remembered that we had tocheck into the motel.

The air was fresh and clear. A few stars twinkled in the sky as we started walking quickly down. A few other people were coming up the trail very slowly and quietly. We wondered why they didn’t share our excitement over the beauty of watching the sunrise in the Grand Canyon as we descended.

C are opposite in meaning to hike back up?Answer: The words and phrases are: hike down into, walk …down, descend.F We were not yet tired; we were still interested in the red walls of the canyon reaching up to the sky around us, and we were still going down. It was easy. Suddenly, one of my friends turned around and looked at how far we had come. It seemed that we had not even reached the halfway point, but the distance back looked very far! The real problem was that we had only a little water and few supplies, so we all decided to turn around and climb back out.Question: Which phrase in this paragraph (F) means descend in Para.C?Answer: the phrase is: go down up to (1) 直到(时间、地点），至多（数目）Eg: 1.
