The saxaul is a special plant with strong roots that can grow even in dry sand. Three years ago, Zhong started planting these trees in his hometown. At first, over 500 of them died because he didn’t have enough experience. But he didn’t give up! He learned from others, practiced hard, and even built a small base in the sand to take care of the young trees. Planting saxauls sounds simple: dig a hole, put in the tree, and water it. But doing this in the desert is tough—especially watering! Zhong often drove his truck for miles to bring water from a faraway village, but sometimes the soft sand stopped his truck completely. His hard work inspired many volunteers to join him. Today, thanks to their efforts, large areas of sand have turned into green land. “Making my hometown greener is the best thing I can do,” Zhong says with a smile. He studied away from home, but always dreamed of coming back to help—and now, his dream is growing, one tree at a time! 翻译： 在甘肃民勤这个小镇，一位名叫钟林的年轻人正一点一点地把沙漠变成绿洲——靠的是一棵又一棵梭梭树！梭梭是一种特殊的植物，根系发达，即使在干涸的沙地上也能生长。三年前，钟林开始在家乡种梭梭。起初，由于缺乏经验，500多棵树苗因缺水枯死了。但他没有放弃！他向别人学习，不断实践，还在沙地里建了一个简易基地，专门照看幼小的树苗。 种梭梭听起来很简单：挖坑、栽树、浇水。但在沙漠里做这件事却非常艰难——尤其是浇水！钟林常常开着卡车，到几公里外的村子拉水，可松软的沙地有时连卡车都陷住动不了。 他的坚持感动了许多人，不少志愿者纷纷前来帮忙。如今，在大家的努力下，大片沙地已披上绿装。“让家乡变得更绿，是我能做的最有意义的事。”钟林笑着说。他曾外出求学，但始终梦想着回乡建设——现在，他的梦想正随着每一棵树苗，悄然生长！ 【长难句分析】 1. Making my hometown greener is the best thing I can do. Making my hometown greener（动名词短语作主语），其中 making...greener 是“使役动词 make + 宾语 + 宾补（形容词比较级）”结构，作动名词，系动词：is，表语：the best thing I can do（名词短语，含定语从句），I can do 是省略关系代词 that 的定语从句，修饰 thing。 2. He studied away from home, but always dreamed of coming back to help. 第一分句：He studied away from home；谓语：studied（一般过去时）；状语：away from home（介词短语，表地点） 第二分句：always dreamed of coming back to help；谓语：dreamed of（固定搭配，后接动名词）；宾语：coming back to help（动名词短语，其中 to help 是不定式作目的状语）。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 experience /ɪkˈspɪəriəns/ n.经验 give up /ɡɪv ʌp/ phr. v.放弃 practice /ˈpræktɪs/ v.练习；实践 base /beɪs/ n.基地；据点 take care of /teɪk keə(r) əv/ phr. v.照顾 volunteer /ˌvɒlənˈtɪə(r)/ n.志愿者 effort /ˈefət/ n.努力 turn into /tɜːn ˈɪntuː/ phr. v.变成 greener /ˈɡriːnə(r)/ adj.

Passage2 A Warm Night at the Railway Station 杭州东站暖心过夜服务获赞 On December 20, a passenger shared a post online about getting free overnight rest at Hangzhou East Railway Station—and many people loved the kind idea!

One whole carriage is just for women—especially single female travelers—for extra safety and comfort. It’s a small space, but it brings big warmth to tired travelers! 翻译：12月20日，一位乘客在网上分享了自己在杭州东站免费过夜休息的经历，这个暖心的举措赢得了许多人的点赞！ 车站在入口处设置了特殊的绿色火车车厢，专为错过车次、深夜抵达或需等待清晨列车的旅客提供服务。每晚10点至次日早上8点，持有有效车票的旅客可凭身份证在服务台登记，随后即可获得一个座位和一把储物柜钥匙。 每个座位都能调节倾斜角度，每位旅客还会收到一条毛毯、一盏小灯和一个存放贵重物品的储物柜。车厢内还提供热水和电源插座。共有四节车厢，最多可容纳126人。大屏幕实时显示列车信息，系统还会在列车发车前40分钟语音提醒旅客。若提醒后仍未起身，工作人员会主动前来协助。 最贴心的是，这里还设有带帘子的私密哺乳区，方便带婴儿的家长使用。其中一整节车厢专供女性旅客使用，尤其照顾独自出行的女性，让她们感到更安全、更安心。 空间虽小，却为疲惫的旅人带来了浓浓的暖意！ 【长难句分析】 1. The station offers special green train carriages right at the entrance for travelers who miss their trains, arrive late at night, or need to wait for an early morning one. 这是一个“主谓宾结构+状语+定语从句”结构的句子（“for travelers...”可看作是补充说明的状语成分，其中“who...”是定语从句修饰“travelers”）。 句子成分： “The station”：主语，表示“车站”。 “offers”：谓语动词，“提供”的意思。 “special green train carriages”：宾语，即“特殊的绿色火车车厢”。 “right at the entrance”：地点状语，说明提供车厢的位置，“就在入口处”。 “for travelers...”：目的状语，引出是为哪些旅客提供。 “who miss their trains, arrive late at night, or need to wait for an early morning one”：定语从句，修饰“travelers”，具体说明是哪些旅客，即“错过火车、深夜到达或需要等待清晨火车的旅客”。 2.One whole carriage is just for women—especially single female travelers—for extra safety and comfort. 这是一个主系表结构的句子，“especially single female travelers”是插入语，“for extra safety and comfort”是目的状语。 句子成分： “One whole carriage”：主语，意为“一整节车厢”。 “is”：系动词。 “just for women”：表语部分，说明车厢的用途是“专门给女性（使用）”。 “especially single female travelers”：插入语，进一步说明是“特别是单身女性旅客”。 “for extra safety and comfort”：目的状语，表明这样设置是为了“额外的安全和舒适”。 【重难词汇梳理】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 offer /ˈɒfə(r)/ v.提供；给予 valid /ˈvælɪd/ adj.有效的；合法的 available /əˈveɪləbl/ adj.可获得的；可用的 remind /rɪˈmaɪnd/ v.提醒；使想起 comfort /ˈkʌmfət/ n./v.舒适；安慰 【读后练习】 Ⅰ.
