④rouse vt.唤醒;激起(某种情感)

【读文策略】
使用话语标记来显示句子关系
话语标记也被称为“连接词”。它们被用来显示思想之间的关系。关系可以从添加内容(例如:也,此外,另外)、显示对比(例如:然而,另一方面)、解释原因(例如:因为,既然),或显示结果(例如:因此,结果)。如果没有话语标记,句子和段落之间的联系就不那么明显了。

SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL:
VANCOUVER AND THE HEART OF CANADA
Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast. Rather than① travel by commercial airline② all the way③,they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train.For both of them,the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.
①rather than而不是(连接两个并列成分)
②airline/'eəlaIn/n.[C]航空公司
[构词法]airline为“名词+名词”构成的复合名词,类似的还有bookshop (书店),newspaper (报纸)等。
③all the way一路上;自始至终
乘火车看真正的北方:
从温哥华到加拿大的心脏
李黛予和表妹刘倩去加拿大看望她们住在大西洋沿岸哈利法克斯的表亲。她们决定先飞到温哥华,然后再坐火车,而不是一路乘坐商业航班。对她们俩来说,坐火车穿越整个国家的想法是令人兴奋的。
Before starting out④,they spent a couple⑤ of days in Vancouver,seeing the sights. During their first day,as is typical of Vancouver,it rained.Despite the weather,they were able to take a boat ride⑥ out into the bay⑦,and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts⑧ and antiques⑨. The next day was clear and mild,and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city.Later,they took a pleasant⑩ hike in a forest just a short distance away.

画线部分为由as引导的非限制性定语从句,关系代词as在定语从句中作主语,指代整个主句。

When the train arrived at the station,they took a taxi to Lake Louise,where the blue water literally⑬ took their breath⑭ away with its exceptional beauty.They spent the night,and then took a coach⑮bound⑯ north⑰ through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.

was the most awesome⑲ journey they had ever taken. In addition to seeing spectacular⑳ mountain peaks㉑ and forests,one highlight㉒ of their trip was being able to see many different creatures,including deer,mountain goats㉓,and even a grizzly bear㉔ and an eagle㉕.

From Jasper,they caught the train towards Toronto. One of
the train's first stops was in Edmonton,the provincial㉖ capital
of Alberta,the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drilling㉗industry.Edmonton is freezing㉘ cold in winter,with daily temperatures averaging㉙ -10℃.Since it can be too cold to go outdoors,Edmonton is home to many shopping malls㉚.In fact,one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.

From Edmonton,the train headed㉛ southeast across the great Canadian Prairie㉜. At school,Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population㉝ is only slightly over thirty-seven million. However,they did not anticipate㉞ seeing such an open country,and were truly amazed. They went through two wheat-growing provinces,where they saw a bunch㉟ of farms that covered a very large area.

列车从埃德蒙顿出发,朝东南方向一路驶过加拿大大草原。在学校里,黛予和刘倩已了解到加拿大的人口只有3 700万多一点。然而,她们也没有料到会看到如此开阔的国家,着实大为惊讶。她们还经过了两个种植小麦的省份,在那里她们看到了大片大片的农田。
After another day on the train,eventually㊱ 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 thundered㊲ on,through the rolling hills㊳.The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red,gold,and orange,and there was frost㊴ on the ground,confirming that autumn had arrived in Canada 10.Night came again,and the train turned south towards Toronto. When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the
curtains㊵,they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron—one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border㊶. It was not until 9:30 a.m. that they finally reached the capital of Ontario,Toronto. 11 All in all㊷,their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration㊸ of four days.

在火车上又过了一天,她们终于回到了温尼伯市的市区。她们在夜间从那里出发,醒来时已经到了安大略省——一个遍布森林和湖泊的地方。火车轰隆隆地驶过连绵起伏的山峦。窗外的灌木丛和枫树林呈红色、金色和橘黄色,地面盖着一层霜,表明加拿大的秋天已经到来了。夜幕再次降临,火车向南开往多伦多。第二天早上醒来,拉开窗帘,她们可以看到广阔的休伦湖,休伦湖是安大略省南部边界上的四大湖之一。直到上午九点半,她们才最终到达安大略省的首府——多伦多。总的来说,她们从温哥华到多伦多的旅行花了四天时间。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel,Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.
For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3, 000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise.
The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.
Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I've learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者和朋友们乘坐火车穿越加拿大的经历,描述了他们在路途中的所见所闻和感受。

Auckland is New Zealand's largest urban area with a population of just over a million.It is not,however,the capital,although it was at one time,until the capital was moved to Wellington.Auckland is the centre of commerce and industry,and is perhaps the most energetic,prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city's landscape is decided by volcanos,the twin harbors,bays,beaches and islands.Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable.Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanos,many of which currently afford great views of the city.And Auckland's shiny waters seem to attract people from every point.It is a water-lovers' best place,with some of the best beaches,for swimming,diving,fishing,sailing,windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand.It is also the cultural,administrative and political centre of the country.Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape.Everywhere you go,the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air,and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear hug.At night,Wellington offers a spectacular,shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world.Even after seeing it for a hundred times,it still takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic,windy and diverse place.It has some of the best museums,art galleries,restaurants and coffee houses in the country.It is the storehouse for the nation's historic,cultural and artistic treasures.Being the first place where European settlers arrived,it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington plays host to an excellent festival of the arts every two years.
