Unit 3Travel journal
语篇导读：年幼时的第一次火车之旅让“我”至今都记忆犹新。

My first train journey
Whenever we have to travel long distances within the country we can travel by train or by air. I still remember my first train journey when I was just about six years old.
My father had to attend① a conference in Madras. Since we had not then seen Madras and our winter vacations were falling during the dates of the conference, it was decided that we would all go with Father and make a trip to the South. I was small but the train journey is still very vivid② in my mind.
I think it was evening time when we boarded the train. Inside we had dinner and then my parents and my elder brother all slept. I could not sleep as I was just too excited. I had taken a window seat so that I could see the fun outside. However, after we had finished dinner, it was dark and nothing was visible (看得见的) from the window.
The next morning I woke up after a comfortable night's sleep. I was very excited to look outside. Oh, how beautiful it all was! When the train crossed over different landforms, the sounds it made changed —sometimes deep grunts, sometimes a smooth flow and at other times just a thud here and thud there. When the train crossed over bridges on large bodies of water, the sound was a kind of gurgling. The enjoyable scenes③continued throughout the journey, and the music of changing land and water was so surprising.
These interesting changing scenes continued for almost thirty-six hours but, believe me, I enjoyed every minute of the journey. I cannot forget this first journey by train even after eight years now and I do wonder if I ever will.

1．湄公河(the Mekong River)，发源于青海省，在中国境内称为澜沧江。

湄公河流经中国、老挝、缅甸、泰国、柬埔寨和越南，于越南胡志明市流入南海。

2．傣族(Dai/Dai nationality)，是我国的少数民族之一，主要分布在云南省德宏、西双版纳、耿马、孟连等地。

他们使用傣语，视孔雀、大象为吉祥物，主要节日有关门节、开门节、泼水节。

沿湄公河而下的旅程
第一部分梦想与计划
我叫王坤。

从中学起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想着进行一次伟大的自行车之旅。

两年前她买了一辆昂贵的山地车，然后她说服我也买了一辆。

去年她去看望我们的表兄弟——在昆明读大学的刀伟和宇航。

他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家境内叫湄公河。

很快，王薇使他们也对骑自行车(旅行)产生了兴趣。

大学毕业后，我们终于有机会骑自行车旅行了。

我问我姐姐：“我们要去哪里？”是我的姐姐首先想到骑车沿湄公河从源头到终点旅行的。

现在她正在安排我们的旅行时间表。

我喜欢我的姐姐，但是她有一个严重的缺点。

她有时会非常固执。

虽然她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅行安排得尽善尽美。

现在我知道最佳路线就是“她的路线”。

我一直问她：“我们什么时候出发？什么时候回来？”我问她是否已经看过地图了。

她当然没有看过，我姐姐不在意细节。

因此我告诉她湄公河的源头在青海省。

她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。

当我告诉她我们的旅行将从海拔5 000多米的高地开
始时，她似乎对此很兴奋。

当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气会很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。

我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变心意。

最后，我只好让步了。

在我们旅行前的几个月，我和王薇去了图书馆。

我们找到了一本大型地图册，里面有一些显示世界地理详细信息的好地图。

从地图册上我们可以看到，湄公河源于青海省一座山上的冰川。

起初，河很小，河水清澈而冰冷，然后它开始快速流动。

穿过深谷时它就变成了急流，流经云南省西部。

有时，这条河变为瀑布，流入宽阔的峡谷。

我们俩惊奇地发现，这条河有一半在中国境内。

流出中国和高地之后，湄公河就变宽、变暖了，河水也变成了褐色。

当它进入东南亚以后，它的速度就慢了下来。

河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原。

最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入南海。

课时作业(九)Unit 3Section Ⅰ
Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It's also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!
U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it's certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn't have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you'd better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It's one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It's made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!

B．All have a history of one century.
C．All require plenty of courage to cross.
D．All are the highest in their country.
答案与解析：C推理判断题。

由这几处桥的内容介绍可知，艾
佩特里悬索桥位于多风多雾的艾佩特里峰，缅甸的乌本桥古老且没有栏杆，位于瑞士阿尔卑斯山的特里夫特悬索桥是世界上最高的桥之一，而巴基斯坦的罕萨桥则由稀疏的小片木板构成。

由此推测，人们
需要鼓起极大的勇气才敢穿过这些危险的桥。

B
Ya Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang. She had been hitchhiking (搭便车旅行) around China for months. She invited me to travel with her, which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Within 20 minutes, we had our first ride. The driver couldn't take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads. As a new hitchhiker, I thought that would be the end of our luck, but almost immediately we got another ride.
Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up. He couldn't take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of the journey. He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip. It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes. This was the first time I understood how guests are respected (受尊重) in China.
A few weeks later, we said goodbye. I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local (本地人) and a foreigner traveling together. But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking, nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong. When I stood by a highway in Sichuan, I knew all about the difficulties before me. Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese.
After about 30 minutes, a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu. We ate lunch on the way, and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it, which I had come to learn was typical (特有的) of Chinese culture. This made me believe that people weren't being friendly because of Ya Ting.

·__2__
People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly.

·Improve your grammar.
Grammar is very important because it improves the quality (质量) of your writing.
Tip: __4__ The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

文章介绍了几种提高英文写作的简单方法。

该空前的“it means actually being able to use them correctly”相呼应。

本段是说增加词汇量并不仅仅是知道单词的意思，而是要懂其用法。

2．B由下文解释的“get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly”可知，本段讲阅读对写作的帮助，故选B项。

3．E由上文的“learn to write best by reading”和该空后的“Learning shouldn't be boring”可知，阅读有助于写作，但要选择那些让你感兴趣的书籍或文章，故选E项。

4．C C项中的“check your writing twice”与该空后的“The first time... general mistakes”和“the second time... mistakes with the grammar point”相呼应。

5．D由本段小标题Just do it！和下文中的“get a pen and paper and write. Be prepared to write several versions of each text”可知，想要提高写作就要多动笔写，俗话说得好，熟能生巧。
