Module 5 A Trip Along the Three Gorges【美文阅读】The Three Gorges region is a scenic area along the Yangtze River in China with a total length of about 200 km.The Three Gorges takes up 120 kmwithin this region.Although it is primarily famous for its scenery，theThree Gorges region is historically and culturally an important regionin China.The Three Gorges region is located along the Yangtze Riverbetween the cities of Fengjie and Yichang in Chongqing Municipalityand Hubei Province.Currently the Three Gorges region is most famous for the ThreeGorges Dam.The Three Gorges Dam is under construction at a place called Sandouping(三斗坪)in the middle of the Xiling Gorge.In addition to the impacts(影响)of the dam on the ecology and people(i.e.the mass relocation of towns and villages)of the region，the dam will also change the scenery of the Three Gorges.Because the water level will be higher，the gorges will be narrower and the mountains will appear lower.Supporters of the dam point out that because the mountains reach several thousand feet above the river，the gorges are still likely to offer fascinating views of the surrounding cliffs，and it should be noted that most riverboat panies that operate in the Three Gorges intend to continue to offer tours of the region: The increase in width of the Three Gorges will also allow larger ships through the gorges and it is predicted that river traffic of all kinds will increase.【诱思导学】Do you know something more about the Three Gorges?

This is the mountain village where I stayed last year.This is the mountain village (which) I visited last year.（2）meet vt.①遇见We met our teacher in the street.我们在街上碰到了老师②和……汇合（=join）Where does the Jialing River meet the Yangtze River.嘉陵江和长江在哪里汇合？③迎接（反义词：see off）I’m going to the station to meet my brother.(=my brother’s train)我要到火车站去接我弟弟。

④满足（需求）How can we meet the increasing energy needs?我们怎样才能满足日益增长的能源需求呢？⑤与……见面，和……相识Glad to meet you =Nice to meet you.很高兴认识你【相关链接】辨析：meet, meet withmeet往往指双方从相反或不同的方向相对而行，其宾语通常是人或人格化的事物。

meet with有“遭受，经历”的含义，其后都接抽象名词（如accident, difficulty, misfortune, opposition等）meet with 也可接表示人的名词，这时强调“遇到”的偶然性。

外研版英语必修4 Module5 A Trip Along the Three Gorges 例题解

Module 5 A Trip Along the Three Gorges 例题解析例1(2005年全国Ⅰ)Tom,you_____ leave all your clothes on the floor like this!A.wouldn'tB.mustn'tC.needn'tD.may not思路解析A项常用于过去将来时;B项是“不允许,禁止〞;C项是指“没必要〞; D项意为“可能不〞。

结合题意“Tom,你不能像这样把衣服扔在地板上〞可知此处应填mustn't。

答案为B。

黑色陷阱此题如果没有理解清句子语境,比拟容易错选C项。

因为平时教师讲must的疑问句用法时,比拟强调它的否认回答常用needn't。

例2〔2005年全国Ⅱ〕John,look at the time._______you play the piano at such a late hour?A.MustB.CanC.MayD.Need思路解析此题关键要理解短语。

look at the time“看看时间〞蕴含的语气有“不满〞的情绪，语言比拟粗鲁。

其他三个选项都较礼貌,不符合此题的语境。

答案为A。

例3〔2001年全国Ⅱ〕______such heavy pollution already,it may now be too late to clean up the river.A.Having sufferedB.SufferingC.To sufferD.Suffered思路解析本句中主句所描述的对象是river, 和suffer 是主动关系。

又因为分词短语中有already 这样一个词,说明“已经受到严重污染,再清理河水为时已晚〞。

所以我们要选表示主动而且完成的分词形式,故答案为A。

黑色陷阱此题容易选B和C, 选B是由于忽略了already 所蕴涵的说话语气。

选C是由于没有注意到动词的先后关系。

Most canyons originate by a process of long-time erosion from a plateau level, with a stream gradually carving out its valley. The cliffs form because harder rock strata that are resistant to erosion and weathering remain exposed on the valley walls. Canyons are much more common in arid areas than in wetter areas because weathering has a lesser effect in arid zones.

The Three Gorges occupy approximately 120 km within this region. Although it is primarily famous for its scenery, the Three Gorges region is historically, andThe Three Gorges region is located along the Yangtze River between the cities of Fengjie (奉节) and Yichang in Chongqing municipality and Hubei province.Currently the Three Gorges region is most famous for the Three Gorges Dam. The Three Gorges Dam is under construction at a place called Sandouping (三斗坪) in the middle of the Xiling Gorge. The dam is not yet complete, but the construction has already cut off the flow of the river, and therefore the water level in the Qutang, Wuxia, and the western portion of the Xiling Gorges has already begun to rise. In addition to the impacts of the dam on the ecology and people (i.e. the mass relocation of towns and villages) of the region, the dam will also change the scenery of the Three Gorges. Because the water level will be higher, the gorges will be less narrow and the mountains will appear lower. Proponents of the dam point out that because the mountains reach several thousand feet above the river, the gorges are still likely to offer spectacular views of the surrounding cliffs, and it should be noted that most riverboat companies that operate in the Three Gorges intend to continue to offer tours of the region.

A tourist is someone who travels at least eighty kilometers (fifty miles) from home for the purpose of recreation, as defined by the World Tourism Organization (a United Nations body). A more comprehensive definition would be that tourism is a service industry, comprising a number of tangible and intangible components. The tangible elements include transport systems - air, rail, road, water and now, space; hospitality services - accommodation, foods and beverages, tours, souvenirs; and related services such as banking, insurance and safety and security. The intangible elements include: rest and relaxation, culture, escape, adventure, new and different experiences.Many countries depend heavily upon travel expenditures by foreigners as a source of taxation and as a source of income for the enterprises that sell (export) services to these travelers. Consequently the development of tourism is often a strategy employed either by a Non-governmental organization (NGO) or a governmental agency to promote a particular region for the purpose of increasing commerce through exporting goods and services to non-locals.Sometimes Tourism and Travel are used interchangeably. In this context travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey.The term tourism is sometimes used pejoratively, implying a shallow interest in the societies and places that the tourist visits.3. New ZealandNew Zealand is a country of two large islands and many much smaller islands in the south-western Pacific Ocean. Among South Pacific nations, New Zealand has the largest and most industrialized economy and is second only to Papua New Guinea in population.Section Two: Words and Expressions from MODULE 5 A Trip Along the Three Gorges1. plainn. extensive tract of level open land: They emerged from the woods onto a vast open plain.adj. 1. not elaborate or elaborated;
