SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL:
VANCOUVER AND THE HEART OF CANADA
Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada ①to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.Rather than<1> travel by commercial airline<2> all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train<3>.For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.
①不定式短语作目的状语。
Before starting out<4>, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, ②seeing the sights.During their first day, ③as is typical<5> of Vancouver, it rained.Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay<6>, and later visit an island ④that had wonderful shops selling crafts<7> and antiques<8>.The next day was clear and mild<9>, and they were pleased ⑤to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city.Later, they took a pleasant<10> hike<11> in a forest just a short distance away.
②现在分词短语作伴随状语。
③as is typical of Vancouver是as引导的定语从句。
④that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词an island。在这个定语从句中,现在分词短语selling crafts and antiques作定语,修饰shops。
⑤不定式短语作状语。
The next morning, the two girls arose<12> early to take the train to Lake Louise, ⑥passing through the Canadian Rockies.⑦Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive<13>.When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, ⑧where the blue water literally<14> took their breath away<15> with its exceptional beauty.They spent the night, and then took a coach bound<16> north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.⑨Looking at the beautiful scenery<17>,they both agreed that it was the most awesome<18> journey ⑩they had ever taken.In addition to<19> seeing spectacular<20> mountain peaks<21> and forests, one highlight<22> of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats<23>, and even a grizzly bear<24> and an eagle.
⑥现在分词短语作状语。
⑦过去分词短语作状语,the mountains and forests of Canada与see之间是动宾关系。
⑧where引导定语从句,修饰先行词Lake Louise。
⑨现在分词短语作状语,they与look之间是主谓关系。
⑩此处是省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词journey。
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto.One of the train's first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drilling<25> industry.Edmonton is freezing<26> cold in winter, ⑪with daily temperatures averaging -10℃ .⑫Since it can be too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to<27> many shopping malls<28>.In fact, one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.
⑪with复合结构作状语。
⑫ since引导原因状语从句。
From Edmonton, the train headed<29> southeast across the great Canadian Prairie<30>.At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population is only slightly over thirty-seven million.However, they did not anticipate<31> seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed.They went through two wheat-growing provinces, ⑬where they saw a bunch<32> of farms that covered a very large area.
⑬本句是where引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词two wheat-growing provinces,在这个定语从句中,又包含that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词farms。
After another day on the train, eventually<33> they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg.From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario—a land of forests and lakes.The train thundered<34> on, through the rolling hills.The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost<35> on the ground, ⑭confirming<36> that autumn had arrived in Canada.Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto.When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain<37>, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron—one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border<38>.⑮It was not until 9:30 a.m.that they finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto.All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration<39> of four days.
⑭现在分词短语作状语。

通过铁路看到真正的北方:
温哥华和加拿大的中心
李黛予和她的表妹刘倩去加拿大大西洋海岸的哈利法克斯看望她们的表妹。她们没有一路乘坐商业航班,而是决定先乘飞机到温哥华,然后再坐火车。对她们俩来说,乘火车穿越整个国家的想法是令人兴奋的。
出发前,她们在温哥华待了几天,看了看风景。在她们到的第一天下雨了,这就是温哥华的典型天气。尽管天气不好,她们还是可以乘船去海湾,然后去一个岛上,那里有卖工艺品和古董的好商店。第二天天气晴朗温和,她们看到美丽的山脉俯瞰着城市很高兴。后来,她们在不远的森林里愉快地徒步旅行。
第二天早上,两个女孩早早起床,坐火车去路易斯湖,途经加拿大落基山脉。从火车窗口看,加拿大的山脉和森林看起来很大。火车抵达后,她们乘坐出租车来到路易斯湖,那里湛蓝的湖水异常美丽,令她们真正地惊叹不已。她们过了一夜, 然后乘长途汽车,向北穿过加拿大落基山脉,来到贾斯珀。看着美丽的风景,她们都认为这是她们经历过的最棒的旅行。除了看到壮观的山峰和森林,她们旅行的一个亮点是能够看到许多不同的生物,包括鹿、山羊,甚至一只灰熊和一只鹰。
从贾斯珀,她们赶上了开往多伦多的火车。火车的第一站是埃德蒙顿,艾伯塔省省会,加拿大巨大的石油和天然气钻探工业的中心。埃德蒙顿冬天寒冷彻骨,日平均气温为-10℃。因为天气太冷不能出门,埃德蒙顿是许多购物中心的所在地。事实上,北美最大的购物中心之一在埃德蒙顿。
火车从埃德蒙顿出发,朝东南方向一路驶过 加拿大大草原。在学校,黛予和刘倩得知加拿大的人口只有3 700多万。然而,她们没有预料到会看到这样一个空旷的国家,她们真的很惊讶。她们走遍了两个小麦种植省份,在那里她们看到了一大堆覆盖很大面积的农场。
在火车上又过了一天,她们最终回到了市区,温尼伯市。从那里,她们彻夜旅行,在安大略省醒来——一片森林和湖泊的土地。火车隆隆驶过起伏的群山。窗外的灌木丛和枫树是红色、金色和橙色的,地面上有霜,证实秋天已经来到加拿大。夜晚又来了,火车向南转向多伦多。第二天早上,当她们醒来拉开窗帘时,她们可以看到休伦湖的广阔延伸——安大略省南部边界的四大湖区之一。直到上午9:30,她们才最终抵达安大略省的首府多伦多。总之,她们从温哥华到多伦多的旅程用了四天时间。

1.答案 flying/to fly
解析 考查非谓语动词。prefer doing/to do sth更喜欢做某事。
2.答案 antiques
解析 考查名词的数。antique是可数名词,根据空前shops, crafts可知,不止一件古董,故用复数形式。
3.答案 directly
解析 考查词性转换。副词作状语修饰动词,此处表示“直接地”,故填directly。
4.答案 where
解析 考查引导词。所填词引导定语从句,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,故填where。
5.答案 to
解析 考查介词。be home to是……的家园,为固定搭配。
6.答案 headed
解析 考查时态。head 在此是谓语动词,描述的是过去发生的动作,故应用一般过去时。
7.答案 amazed
解析 考查词性转换。be amazed to do sth做某事感到惊讶。
8.答案 thundering
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为with复合结构,空处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语,与宾语是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词。
9.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。a duration of ……的持续时间。
10.答案 most awesome
解析 考查比较等级。根据句意及the可知,此处应用最高级。
