大单元限时评估卷(一) Unit 1－Unit 2 (时间：100分钟　分值：120分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Most Impressive Ways to Get from Place to Place Horse Caravan (马车) Go a bit old­school with a horse caravan in Ireland. While riding a horse may not offer much in the way of impressiveness, how about getting a horse to a carriage that includes cooking and sleeping areas? That sounds a bit more remarkable. Plus, the horse­drawn carriages allow a fresh perspective on the countryside and beaches. Terra Bus Made in Calgary, only roughly 20 of these Terra Bus Ice Explorer all­terrain vehicles exist and they almost all serve the Icefields Parkway and the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper, Canada. Designed specifically for glacier travel, the six­wheel, 49­foot­long vehicle looks like the most robust (强大的) tour bus on the planet. And it is. The Terra Bus Ice Explorer can handle 56 passengers and nearly any sort of ice, mud, sand, snow and rock the Canadian Rocky Mountains have to offer. The Central­Mid­Levels Escalator (自动扶梯) If this Hong Kong escalator system didn't exist, you'd have all sorts of stairs to deal with to climb between the western and central Hong Kong districts. This system of 20 escalators, built in 1993, combines to become the longest outdoor covered escalator in the world, running a total length of 2，624 feet and rising 442 feet in the process. From end to end it's a ride lasting 20 minutes. Symphony of the Seas At 1，181 feet in length and a gross tonnage of 228, 000, the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in the world. The steel ship features seven distinct on­board neighbourhoods, surfing, ziplining, ice­skating, 3D movies and pools. Symphony is powered by solar energy. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种最令人印象深刻的旅行方式。 1.
