They carry everything they will need with them. People call this popular activity backpacking(背着背包徒步旅行).We are high in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the state of North Carolina. It is very early in the morning. We have been walking in the mountains for almost one week. Each night we sleep in a small cloth shelter called a tent.The air this morning is fresh and clear. It smells like green trees and wild flowers. When we look across to other mountains,it is easy to see why they were named the Blue Ridge Mountains. The early morning air in the distance looks like thick smoke. It makes the color of the mountains a deep ocean blue. This color is caused by the water in the air. It is almost like fog. When the sun rises higher,some of the water in the air will be burned away. Then the mountains will slowly turn dark green.Today we will try to walk at least thirty kilometers. It should not be difficult. The path here is not steep(陡的). We will spend two more days and nights in the Blue Ridge Mountains.Then it will be time to leave the mountains. It will be difficult to re-enter the world of cars,roads,buildings,stores,computers,televisions and crowds of people.We will take many things from the mountains when we leave—memories of the great beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains,the joy of watching the beautiful deer early in the morning,and an increased respect for our natural world.( )1.What does the underlined word ―It‖ refer to in the third paragraph?A.The early morning air.B.The tree in the mountains.C.The stone in the mountains.D.The waterful in the mountains.( )2.The passage tells us that Americans like to spend their holidays _______.A.in the cityB.in natureC.at homeD.in space( )3.The third paragraph mainly tells us __________.A.the air is fresh and clear.B.the reason for the mountain s’ nameC.how much water there is in the airD.how long we’ve stayed in the mountains.

Trevithick planned his steam engine to take 10 tons of iron for 15 kilometers along a railroad. But in Fact his engine carried not only the iron,but 70 workers,too. Twenty-eight years later,another engineer,George Stephenson,built a new locomotive. This was the beginning of the passenger train.Japan built the world’s first high speed train—the bullet train (高速火车)—in 1964. When it started,the train could run at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour. Nowadays high speed trainsreach at a speed of more than 300 kilometers.The new Maglevs(磁悬浮火车) can now go faster than bullet trains. People call them Maglevs because they run above special tracks held up by magnetic force (磁力). Germany made the first Maglev in 1969. Three years later, Japan had its own Maglev lines. The Maglev can run as fast as 480 kilometers per hour. It is clean and saves energy.Many trains just carry goods,but let’s find out where the real excitement lies.Some trains have become famous for their speed,others for their luxury(豪华). The Orient Express (东方快车) is one example. It started in 1883,traveling from Paris in France to Turkey., It still travels over part of this line today.Passengers can enjoy a first-class service on the train. For example,the cups and spoons are made of silver. To take a trip on the Orient Express,passengers pay six times of the normal ticket price.( )1.The first steam locomotive was built in ________.A.AmericaB.EnglandC.FranceD.Japan( )2.In ________,George Stephenson built a new locomotive.A.1829B.1883C.1969D.1964( )3.What type of train runs the fastest?A.A steam locomotive.B.Abullet train made in Japan.C.The high speed train of today.D.The Maglev.( )4.Which is RIGHT according to the passage?A.Trevithick’s steam locomotive only carried the iron at that time.B.The Orient Express travels along the highest railway from Switzerland to Italy.C.The Maglev saves energy and is clean.D.The Orient Express serves the best and costs less than normal trains.( )5.What’s the meaning of the underlined word ―first-class‖?A.第一课B.一等，头等C.一班D.一年级C请根据对一下五个人的描述从A-E中选出适合他们的选项。
