Module 3 My First Ride on a Train Section Ⅰ Introduction &
Reading-Pre-reading
In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the
way. Air travel gives you a bird’s eye view of the world — or even less if the
wing of the aircraft happens to get inyour way. When you travel by car or train an
unclear image (影像) of the countryside constantly smears (使模糊不清) the windows.
Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed (痴迷) with the urge to go on and
on: they never want to stop. Is it the attractiveness of the great motorways, or
what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up
in the words of the old song: “I joined the navy to see the world, and what did
I see? I saw the sea.” The typical twentiethcentury traveller is the man who always
says “I’ve been there”. If you mention the remotest and most evocative (唤起
记忆的) places, someone is sure to say “I’ve been there” meaning “I drove through
it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”
For the traveller on foot, on the other hand, travelling and arriving is one

and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences
the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end
of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness (疲惫). He knows that sound.
A satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.
In this module I’ll tell you in detail about my first ride on a train.

My First Ride① on a Train
My name is Alice Thompson. I come from
Sydney, Australia and I ’ m 18 years old.
Recently I had my first ride on a longdistance②
train. And what a ride ! ③ A friend and I
travelled on the famous Ghan train. We got on
in Sydney and we got off④ in Alice Springs,
right⑤ in the middle of⑥ Australia, more than⑦
four thousand kilometres away. We spent two
days and nights on⑧ the train.
The train was wonderful and the food was
great. We ate great meals cooked by experts⑨!
For the first few hundred kilometres of the
journey⑩, the scenery⑪ was very colourful.
There were fields and the soil⑫ was dark red.
After that, it was desert⑬. The sun shone⑭,
there was no wind and there were no clouds in
the sky. Suddenly, it looked like⑮ a place from
another time. We saw abandoned farms which were
built more than a hundred years ago⑯.
The train was comfortable and the people
were nice. During the days, I sat and looked out
of⑰ the window, and sometimes talked to other

我第一次乘火车
[第 1~4 段译文]
我是艾丽斯·汤姆逊,来自澳大利亚悉尼,今年 18 岁。最近我第一次乘坐了长途火车。
一次多么奇妙的乘车经历啊!我和一位朋友乘坐著名的 Ghan 去旅行。我们在悉尼上车,正
好在 4 000 多千米以外的澳大利亚中部的艾丽斯斯普林斯下车,在火车上待了两天两夜。
火车很棒,食品又美味。我们吃到了烹饪大师们做的美味佳肴!旅途开始的几百公里,
景色多姿多彩,有田野,泥土是深红色的。过后就是沙漠。太阳高照,空中没一丝风、一朵
云彩。突然之间又好像来到了另一个时代的某地。我们看到被遗弃了的 100 多年前建造的农
庄。
火车很舒服,大家都很友好。在白天,我坐着看窗外,有时和别的旅客说说话。我读读
书,听听汉语磁带(我正在学校学汉语)。有一个晚上,大约是在半夜,差不多有一小时我都
在注视夜空。星星如钻石般闪烁着。
为什么这种火车叫 Ghan 呢?很久以前,澳大利亚人需要一条去往澳大利亚中部的通道。
他们试着骑马,但那些马不喜欢炎热的天气和沙漠。150 年前,他们从阿富汗引进了一些骆
驼,Ghan 是阿富汗的缩写。
Camels were much better than horses for
travelling a long distance. For many years,
trained○24 camels carried food and other
supplies○25, and returned with wool and
other products○26.
○24train /’treIn/vt.训练
trained camels 经过训练的骆驼,
trained 为过去分词作定语。
○25supply n.储备;供应(品)
○26product/’prɒdʌkt/n.产品

The Afghans and their camels did this
until the 1920s ○27 . Then the government
built a new railway line, so they didn’t
need the camels anymore○28. In 1925, they
passed a law○29which○30 allowed people to
shoot○31 the animals if they were a problem.
In 1935, the police in a town shot 153 camels
in one day.
○27在“世纪,年代”之前必须加 the,
时间后加 s 或’s。

○29pass a law 通过一项法律
○30which 引导定语从句;if 引导条件
状语从句。
○31allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某
事
shoot/ʃuːt/vt.射杀
[第 5~6 段译文]
对于长途旅行而言,骆驼比马匹要好得多。多年来,经过训练的骆驼运走食品和其他供
给物,带回羊毛和其他产品。
直到 20 世纪 20 年代,阿富汗人和他们的骆驼还在做着这样的工作。后来,政府修了一
条新的铁路线,他们就再也不需要骆驼了。1925 年通过了一条法令,规定如果这些动物成
为问题,就允许人们射杀它们。1935 年,一座镇上的警察一天之内就射杀了 153 头骆驼。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
People who like travelling have their reasons.They believe that travelling can
help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical
sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different
kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other
activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some
reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most
importantly, it broadens (使扩大) our mind. We can get in touch with
other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性) — not for
pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food
to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to
say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times, for example,
rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and
festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇
心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线).Also
business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money
but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt
that we can get much from it.
语篇解读:自古至今,人们都进行旅游。不过,在古代,人们旅游更多的是为了生计;而现
在,人们旅游是为了增长见识和享受生活。
1.The underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “______”.
真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。

A.widen B.protect

可以推测这里的 expand 一词表示“扩大,拓宽”之意,widen 一词与之意思最接近。
2.According to the passage, in the past most people travelled ______.
A.for fun B.for knowledge
C.to get experience D.to make a living
解析:选 D 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Through history, most people travelled
because of necessity (必要性)— not for pleasure.”及第二句中的“in order to remain
alive”可知在古代人们外出多是为了生计奔波,因此选 D 项。
3.In the writer’s opinion, travelling can be ______.
A.expensive B.funny
C.helpful D.tiring
解析:选 C 推理判断题。作者主要讲了旅游带来的种种好处,从第二段首句及最后一
段都能看出他对旅游持积极肯定的态度,认为旅游很有益,故选 C 项。
4.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.Different kinds of travelling.
B.Travelling enriches our mind.
C.Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.
D.The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.
解析:选 B 主旨大意题。作者在文中谈了自己对旅游的看法,他认为旅游可以拓宽人
们的视野,最后一段,作者高度概括了文章大意。故选 B 项。
B
When you visit the Oahu Island (瓦胡岛) of Hawaii, you cannot miss the North
Shore.
It is home to some of the world’s best surfing (冲浪运动).
Surfing along the North Shore during the winter is wonderful enough to ensure
some surfing competitions.They are the Triple Crown of Surfing, the Reef Hawaii Pro,
O’Neill World Cup of Surfing, and the Billabong Pipeline Masters.
It is a filming location.
The North Shore is the main filming location for most of the ABC’s TV series
Lost.It has also been the setting for movies like BlueCrush, a surfer film, and
ForgettingSarahMarshall. The TV show HawaiiFive0 also filmed scenes along the North
Shore.

It is the best place to watch sea turtles.
Shark’s Cove is said to be the best place where turtles hang out.However,
Laniakea Beach is the most famous place for visitors to take a photo of sea
turtles.They like to come right onto the beach and sunbathe.In fact this place also
goes by the name “Turtle Beach”.
People have been living there for a very long time.
For over 900 hundred years, people have lived along Oahu’s North Shore.When
Hawaiian settlements started expanding (扩张) north from the Big Island around 1,100
AD, some Hawaiian communities began to form on the north side of Oahu.They used the
rich land to grow crops like sweet potatoes and so on.
As anyone who has seen the North Shore’s beauty with his own eyes will tell
you, it is no surprise that people have loved living along this coastline for
centuries.

5.What can we know about the Reef Hawaii Pro?
A.It tells a story about surfers.
B.It offers the best filming location.

在冬天进行的冲浪比赛。
6.To take a photo of sea turtles, visitors should go to ______.
A.Shark’s Cove B.the Big Island

解析:选 D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的内容可知,拍摄海龟的最佳去处是 Laniakea
Beach,也叫 Turtle Beach。

A.why the Oahu Island of Hawaii is popular
B.why visitors should travel to the North Shore
C.the history of the North Shore

应该到那里去游玩。
真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。

8.The passage is most probably taken from______.
A.a travel magazine B.a research report
C.a book review D.an advertisement
解析:选 A 文章出处题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了夏威夷瓦胡岛北岸的独特之
处,故最可能出自一本旅游杂志。

A nickname is a shortened form of a person’s name. A nickname can also be a
descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames.
Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city’s initials (首字
母), LA.It is also called “The City of Angels” because Los Angeles means “the
angels” in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is “City of
Flowers and Sunshine”. New York is called “The Big Apple”. So Los Angeles is
sometimes called “The Big Orange” because of the fruit that grows in that city’
s warm climate.
The American motion picture (电影) and television industries are based in Los
Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called “The Entertainment Capital of
the World”.Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions
of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is completely without seeing the
word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles.The city is sometimes called
“Tinseltown”.This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature
of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is “LaLa Land”, using the first letters
of Los and Angeles.This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even
out_of_touch_with_reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller
cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is
Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year’s Day.
A good place for watching unusuallooking people is Venice, an area on the west
side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice
has been built there.
语篇解读:文章主要介绍了洛杉矶的几个有趣的昵称以及这几个昵称的由来。
9.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。
11
A.To tell us what a nickname is.
B.To prove that nicknames are popular.
C.To lead us into the topic to be presented.
D.To tell us some people’s nicknames.
解析:选 C 推理判断题。根据下文内容可知,第一段的主要作用是引出将要呈现的话
题“Los Angeles has several nicknames.”。
10.Which of the following is NOT the nickname for Los Angeles in the passage?
A.LA.
B.City of Flowers and Sunshine.
C.The City of Angels.
D.The Big Apple.
解析:选 D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“New York is called ‘The Big
Apple’.”可知,The Big Apple 是纽约的昵称,不是洛杉矶的昵称。
11.Why is Los Angeles called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”?
A.Because Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather.
B.Because many movie stars live in Los Angeles.
C.Because there are many smaller cities in the county.
D.Because the American motion picture and television industries are there.
解析:选 D 细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知,洛杉矶之所以被称为“世界娱乐之
都”,是因为这里是美国的电影业和电视业的基地。故答案为 D。
12.The underlined part “out of touch with reality” in Paragraph 6 can probably
be replaced by “______”.
A.real B.false
C.fantastic D.practical
解析:选 C 词义猜测题。根据前面的“This means a place that is fun and not
serious”并结合短语本身的字面意思可推断,该短语指的是“不切实际的,幻想中的”,
与 fantastic 意思相近。故选 C。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。

three ways that traveling has changed me forever.
Traveling changes the way you connect with the world.
I grew up in a small town.__1__When you travel to other countries and see the
amazing beauty of sunset overseas, monkeys swinging through rain forests, and so
on. You realize the world is full of more beauty than you are able to see in a lifetime.
But, you still want to try.
Traveling changes the way you connect with others.
Everyone in my hometown looked and acted basically the same.__2__I realized that
my life could be enriched by developing friendships with people who didn’t look
or act like me. Far from my hometown, I developed friendships with people who were
nothing like me, but were exactly what I needed.__3__
Traveling helps develop your interest in education.
__4__Just reading the stories in books seemed boring to me. However, when I
visited the Palace of Versailles in France and walked in the halls of the Louvre,
I couldn’t help but have interest in history.__5__
A.Traveling taught me not to fear.
B.Traveling makes history come alive.
C.Sadly, I never liked history in school.
D.When I traveled, I learned about other cultures.
E.It also taught me the importance of communication skills.
F.The older I become, the more I realize I actually know very little about life.
G.If I hadn’t had the chance to travel, I would have a difficult time imagining
much else outside my country.
