Train travel is becoming more popular. Amtrak, the US national railroad passenger company, reports that the number of passengers continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and the number of passenger journeys are also increasing. There's every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you'll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains. It's relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travellers, travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel time and date, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight at a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially during busy travel periods or in developing countries.
In the end, you'll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.
1.What may be one reason for train travel increase from the text?
A.More new railways.

A trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit read our tips below :
Visit at Night
Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you'll see why Paris is known as “the City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower and reflections (倒影) of the Tower in the Seine (塞纳河) are sights not to be missed.

I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning,we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o'clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!”, a word yelled out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive (印象深刻的) sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination,but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasant, unbelievable and satisfactory. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
1.When did they see the first light of the sunrise?
A.About 3 o'clock.
B.About 4 o'clock.
C.Nearly 5 o'clock.
D.Nearly 6 o'clock.
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.My classmates and I took a trip to Hawaii.
B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunset.
C.I took a trip to Hawaii before I graduated.
D.Sometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
3.What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph two?
A.Total. B.Terrible.
C.Cold. D.Interesting.

As my dad unwrapped (打开) the new bicycle helmet (头盔) that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have holes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets in many places.
Where I live, there has been a law in place since October 1, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required to wear helmets. After all, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness (知觉). When he was just awakening, a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recall the events leading up to his fall. Later that day, a CT scan showed that he had a concussion (脑震荡) . That evening, while my dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we_both_came_to_a_shocking_realization.
If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.
4.In the writer's opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?
A.Because a law requires them to do so.
B.Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C.Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D.Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.
5.What does the underlined part “we both came to a shocking realization” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.We understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet.
B.We were shocked to see the broken helmet.
C.We realized that young people needn't wear helmets.
D.Only old people should wear helmets.
6.What can we infer from the accident that happened to the writer's dad?
A.The cyclists should follow the law.
B.His dad was not worried about this accident.
C.It is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets.
D.Everyone should care about life.

Some destinations are just meant to be the ones that define (给……下定义) holidays to a completely different level. Most of the holidays that I plan are for the uniqueness of the destination and what the place has to offer me. A vacation is usually to take your time off and relax. And then there are others that are fond of getting together to get the feel of the local_sights_and_unpack mysteries hidden in such a place.
Recently, while I was browsing (浏览) some interesting places, I came across one of the most fascinating (迷人的) locations. The Cape of Castaway Islands, as I'd like to call it, is the island country Cape Verde!
It is an interesting find and most certainly a promising destination, for it gives you the feel of a vacation destination and also makes for the best cultural and local experiences off the coasts of Western Africa. Interestingly, it is one of the most interesting island countries you would see considering there are so many things to do out here...
Officially known as The Republic of Cape Verde, it covers an archipelago (群岛) of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly and not surprisingly, in the 15th century, Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the uninhabited (无人居住的) islands, so it became the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew rich and often attracted privateers (武装民船) and pirates, and among them was Sir Francis Drake in the 1580s.
Some very interesting places in this country are one of the most attractive places, yet unknown, thanks to the 10 tiny islands in the Atlantic being below the radar. And since it's just off the west coast of Africa, which means year-round pretty much sunshine, I'd recommend these few destinations to relax in the sunshine while you're here.
7.According to the passage, a good holiday need not be ________.
A.special and unusual B. relaxing
C.strange and interesting D.time-saving
8.The underlined word “unpack” in the first paragraph means ________.
A.looking at something interesting
B.making a way through using force
C.dividing something into parts so that it is easier to take
D.analysing it and considering it in detail
9.The Cape of Castaway Islands used to become rich from ________.
A.tourism B. slave trade
C.oil business D.industry
10.The passage tells readers that ________.
A.the uniqueness that a vacation destination should have
B.what a promising destination has to offer
C.the history of the Cape of Castaway Islands
D.a place of interest which is beautiful but unknown to people

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone,” Wegscheider said. She has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you when you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year, He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man. Richardson describes traveling alone as “a shot in the arm” , which makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know that nothing is impossible if you try. ”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “ Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
2.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you have to make things on your own
B.it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D.it will finally build your character
3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

Ⅱ.七选五
If you want to write a travel journal, here are some useful tips for you.
Get in the habit of writing in your travel journal every day. __1__ You will regret this later when priceless memories are forgotten. You may promise yourself that you will go back and write about your experiences later, but that almost never happens. __2__ It doesn't have to be long, just on a regular basis.
Use your “down time” for your travel journal. __3__ You can always write down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, or waiting in line.
__4__ In your heading write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you ate that day. These are the first details people usually forget. Years later when you read your journal you will know exactly what you were doing on that day. No matter how much time changes, the memories will come rushing back.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn't why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self reflection. Being in a foreign environment is a special experience. Make a list of places you want to go next. Memories of these feelings die down quickly with time. __5__
A.Date your diary in your travel journal.
B.Be sure your travel journal is just like a book.
C.When on a busy journey it is easy to forget to write.
D.Buy a travel journal that can be used for a long time.
E.Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories.
F.Surprisingly, there is a lot of sitting around while traveling.
G.Writing about those experiences while the memories are fresh is necessary.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Two men, both seriously ill, shared the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the only window of the room. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their experiences in the army, and where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activities and colors of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Grand old trees made everything around more attractive, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in great detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window pictured it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it by himself.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个富人想去另一个城镇旅行,他决定带十个仆人带着出售的东西和旅行中的食物。一个小男孩要求和他们同行,并选择了装面包的最大担子,结果,当最后他们到达了镇上的时候,所有仆人都累了除了那个小男孩。
1.答案与解析:B 考查动词。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖,而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。
2.答案与解析:A 考查动词。根据他的想法,他“决定”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定,所以没有必要“希望带……”或“努力带……”,故C、D不合题意。
3.答案与解析:C 考查动词。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”;take 意为“带走”;bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。
4.答案与解析:B 考查动词。参照第3题。
5.答案与解析:D 考查名词。一个小男孩来找这位富人,要求和他们一起走,故选 the rich man。
6.答案与解析:C 考查动词。参照第5题。
7.答案与解析:A 考查代词。富人同意小男孩随行。
8.答案与解析:D 考查连词。此句和上文是转折关系,意为“但是你是我的仆人中最小的、最瘦的、最弱的一个,你不能挑重担”,故选but。
9.答案与解析:C 考查名词。参照第8题。
10.答案与解析:A 考查形容词。参照第8题。
11.答案与解析:B 考查动词。此句意为“你要选择挑最轻的担子”,“pick up”意为“捡起”,不合文意,故选choose。
12.答案与解析:D 考查形容词。主人看到这个小仆人选择了最重的担子,感到他很“愚蠢”,故选foolish。
13.答案与解析:B 听了主人的话,小男孩“什么也没说”,而是高兴地挑起了担子。
14.答案与解析:C 考查介词。由于小男孩的聪明,“除了”他自己,其他仆人都累坏了。
15.答案与解析:D Do you know why? 用在文章最后用来引出原因,告诉读者其中的奥妙。
Ⅳ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,文章主要向我们介绍了徒步旅行这种旅行方式,并给出了一些建议。
1.答案与解析:on 考查介词。句意:一般说来,这些假期几乎都集中在从一个地方到另一个地方的徒步旅行上。focus on...“集中于……”。
2.答案与解析:distances 考查词性转化和名词复数。句意:有些人喜欢外出到人很少的地方去,进行长途旅行。根据形容词long可知此处应用名词。又因为distance作“距离”讲时为可数名词,故填distances。
3.答案与解析:travelling 考查非谓语动词。句意:在第二天去下一站旅游之前,他们通常在旅馆住上一晚。介词before后应使用v.-ing形式。
4.答案与解析:themselves 考查反身代词。句意:一些徒步者选择不用向导是因为费用问题或者他们想挑战一下自己。根据句意可知此处应填反身代词。
5.答案与解析:reliable 考查词性转化。句意:然而,对于缺少经验的徒步旅行者来说,在徒步旅行时雇一个可靠的向导被认为是更好的选择。修饰名词guide应用形容词。
6.答案与解析:is considered 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:然而,对于缺少经验的徒步旅行者来说,在徒步旅行时雇一个可靠的向导被认为是更好的选择。主语employing a __5__ (rely) guide与consider之间为被动关系,因此应用被动语态。单个v.-ing短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数。故填is considered。
7.答案与解析:who 考查定语从句。句意:这项活动可能会令人很疲惫,那些徒步旅行新手可能担心他们的身体不能完成这些旅行。先行词为those,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故用who。
8.答案与解析:physically 考查词性转化。句意:见上题。此处修饰形容词able,故用副词形式。
9.答案与解析:to go 考查非谓语动词。句意:有时人们去医生那儿核实一下他们选择一项困难的徒步旅行是否安全可能会很有用。分析可知此处为不定式短语作真正的主语。
10.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意:见上题。此处修饰可数名词hike,表泛指,所以用不定冠词a。

2.答案与解析:to get 句意见上一题解析。it takes/took (sb.) some time to do sth.为固定句式,意为“花费(某人)多长时间做某事”,该句式中it为形式主语,后面的不定式(短语)为真正的主语。设空处应用动词不定式形式,故填to get。
3.答案与解析:of 句意为:我们最先听到了一群狗的叫声——准确来说是7只狗的叫声。a pack of为固定搭配,意为“一群;一盒;一伙”,故填of。
4.答案与解析:who/that 句意为:这些狗受到了主人的良好训练,它们的主人在照看这些动物方面有着丰富的经验。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是masters,意为“主人”,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句,who作为关系代词指人,that作为关系代词指人或指物。故此处填who,也可填that。
5.答案与解析:recommended 句意为:东道主(给我们)分享了他们的很多经历,并推荐了一些吃喝、购物和游玩的好去处。分析句子结构可知,and连接的是并列谓语,时态应保持一致。shared为一般过去时,故填recommended。
6.答案与解析:competition 设空处前有不定冠词an和形容词interesting修饰,且作介词of的宾语,应用名词形式。故填competition。
7.答案与解析:traditional 句意为:他们也给我们分享了一些深受游客喜爱的关于夏威夷的传统故事。设空处修饰名词stories,应用形容词。故填traditional。
8.答案与解析:hugely 句意见上一题解析。分析句子成分可知,设空处修饰形容词popular,应用副词hugely,表示“极度;非常”,故填hugely。
9.答案与解析:were invited 句意为:我们在那里逗留了一个星期,在最后一天,我们受邀参加了在北岸一个美丽农场举办的一场私人音乐会,在星空下听音乐家演奏,并结识有趣的当地人。设空处在句中作谓语,根据时间状语On the last day of our week-long stay可知,此处表示发生在过去的动作,且invite与主语we之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,且本句主语we为复数概念。故填were invited。
10.答案与解析:listening 句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知,设空处前为完整的句子,故设空处应填非谓语动词。listen与其逻辑主语we之间为主动关系,表主动和伴随,应用现在分词。故填listening。

Ⅲ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了已被列入世界文化遗产名录的中国长城的相关资料。
1.答案与解析:was listed list在此是谓语动词,与主语The Great Wall of China之间是被动关系;根据时间状语in 1987可知应用一般过去时。故填was listed。
2.答案与解析:like 句意为:正像一条巨龙一样,它蜿蜒于沙漠、草原和山脉间……此处表示“像……一样”,应用介词like。故填like。
3.答案与解析:covering 设空处作状语,应用非谓语动词形式。cover与其逻辑主语it之间是主动关系,故用现在分词covering。
4.答案与解析:joined 此处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语,join与宾语the walls之间是逻辑上的被动关系,所以应用过去分词。故填joined。
5.答案与解析:the 此处特指长城的城墙,所以应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
6.答案与解析:to walk 句意为:……它的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。“形容词+enough+(for sb./sth.) to do sth.”意为“足够……以(让某人/某物)做某事”。故填to walk。
7.答案与解析:which 此处“in ________ soldiers used to keep watch”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词watchtowers,关系词在定语从句中作in的宾语,故填关系代词which。
8.答案与解析:attractive 句意为:然而,它仍然是世界上最吸引人的地方之一……修饰名词spots应用形容词。attractive意为“吸引人的”。故填attractive。
9.答案与解析:importance 在because of后作宾语,且由形容词修饰,应用名词。importance意为“重要性”。故填importance。
10.答案与解析:is 句意为:不到长城非好汉。“who does not reach the Great Wall”是修饰主语He的定语从句,因此谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。

3.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的第一句话可知A项错误,而C项正确;根据第四段中的第五句话可知,文章中用的是比喻的修辞手法,并不是胳膊上真的中了一枪,因此B项错误;D项文中未涉及。故答案为C。

2.答案与解析:E 本段的小标题是“养成每天写日志的习惯”。E项“每天花几分钟写下你的记忆”符合语境。
3.答案与解析:F 根据下文提到的“当你在火车上,等待飞机或排队等候时……”可知,旅行的时候有很多坐着的时间,所以选F项。
4.答案与解析:A 根据下文的“在标题下写上日期……”可知,本段介绍写日志时要注明日期,所以用A作小标题。
5.答案与解析:G 根据上文的“随着时间的推移,这些感情的记忆很快就会消逝”可知,我们要趁着记忆犹新时把它写下来,所以选G项。
Ⅲ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。在飞往纽约的途中,飞机开始颠簸起来,乘客都很担心和害怕。但有一个小女孩仍然十分镇定。
1.答案与解析:broke 考查时态。根据所填词后的and可知,此句为并列句,后半句的谓语动词为began,故此处应用一般过去时。
2.答案与解析:worried 考查形容词。根据所填词后的afraid可知,此处应用形容词作表语,故填worried。
3.答案与解析:if/whether 考查宾语从句连接词。此处是if/whether引导的宾语从句,作wondering的宾语,意为“是否”。
4.答案与解析:nothing 考查代词。分析语境可知,此处意为:对她来说,暴风雨似乎没什么。可判断此处应填不定代词nothing。
5.答案与解析:reading 考查非谓语动词。此处read与其逻辑主语she为主动关系,故填reading,在句中作伴随状语。
6.答案与解析:completely 考查副词。修饰calm and unafraid应用副词,故填completely。
7.答案与解析:believe 考查动词。情态动词could后应接动词原形,belief是名词形式,其动词形式为believe。
8.答案与解析:to find 考查非谓语动词。be surprised后常接动词不定式,且与主语I之间为主动关系,故填to find。
9.答案与解析:to 考查介词。speak to sb.意为“对某人说”。
10.答案与解析:is taking 考查时态。分析语境可知,此处指“他正在带我回家”,故应用现在进行时。
Ⅳ.写作(共两节)
第一节:
One possible version:
Dear Li Hua,
I'm glad to tell you that I'm going to visit China in May. My arrangements are as follows. First, I am planning to visit Beijing, where I am looking forward to enjoying the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and some beautiful parks. Then I intend to go to visit Mount Tai in Shandong Province. I've heard that it is one of the most famous mountains in China. After that, I am also going to Hangzhou, which has many breathtaking natural sights like the West Lake.
What do you think of my travel plan? Will you act as my guide and offer help whenever I need it? Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Jack
第二节:读后续写
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Slowly and painfully, he made his greatest possible efforts to look out of the window beside the bed. When eagerly looking out of the window,_he was frozen with his mouth open wide at the sight of the wall. Yes, he could see nothing but a blank wall. He couldn't believe his eyes, wondering what had happened. Gradually, he calmed down and lost himself in thought. Sitting there alone,_he wondered why the former roommate spent time describing the lively scenes during the one-hour periods. After a while, the nurse came in to take his temperature. “Miss, my former roommate pictured wonderful things outside the window to me every time he sat up and looked out of the window. But in fact there is only a wall outside. I just can't understand why he did so,” the man asked.
Paragraph 2:
“The man was blind and could not even see the wall. Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you,” the nurse answered. He was again shocked and suddenly enlightened, feeling deeply moved. Yes, he realized he had actually lived for those periods! He remembered how much he enjoyed the happy moments his roommate brought him, which rid him of the dark clouds in his life. He felt grateful for his roommate's special encouragement. There is great happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. Never was there another moment when he knew so clearly what he could do to help the people around him.
