The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive② dragons are winding among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”. I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on③ this railway. Taking years to complete, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway is a record of all of our efforts to overcome the most difficult engineering challenges. [2]How to protect the delicate ecosystem was among the top concerns. The first landmark [3]to catch my eye④ is the splendid⑤ Qingshuihe Bridge, the world’s longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of Tibetan antelopes is moving under the bridge, [4]with some stopping to eat grass at their leisure⑥. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural habitat. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally unaware that we are speeding past⑦ at over 100 kilometres an hour. To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its distinct ecosystem. The journey has been flying by⑧, and before I know it⑨, we have reached Tanggula Station. [5]Located at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable⑩ weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were constructed. We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas. As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of pride and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close t the railway that I want to reach ou and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wanderin the grasslands bring the scenery to lif. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people’s admiratio for centuries. Now, thanks to our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care [6]that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway” 天路 坐在我的座位上,我不敢相信我即将沿着许多外国专家声称“不可能建成”的铁路旅行。火车从西宁出发,向前平稳行驶。一路上,我的脑海中不断回响起《天路》这首歌曲。当火车开过“世界屋脊”时,“一条条巨龙翻山越岭”的歌词变得更加生动鲜活起来。 修建青藏铁路的工人来自全国各地,而我就是其中之一。它历时数年建成,凝聚着我们攻克种种工程难题的全部心血。如何保护脆弱的生态系统是需要我们高度重视的问题之一。 最先吸引我注意的地标性建筑是壮观的清水河大桥,它是世界上最长的高原冻土铁路桥。看!一群藏羚羊正在桥下走来走去,其中一些则停下来悠闲地吃草。铁路桥下修建了三十三条野生动物通道,让动物得以在自然栖息地中安全自由地通行。就像现在的这群藏羚羊一样,野生动物们使用这些通道已有数年,它们似乎完全没有意识到我们正以每小时超过100公里的速度呼啸而过。 为了避免破坏湿地和草原,我们在格尔木和拉萨之间建造了675座大桥,总长度约160千米。我们甚至将一块14万平方米的湿地迁往一个新的区域,以保护其独特的生态系统。 火车一路疾驰,还没等我反应过来,就已经到达了唐古拉车站。这座火车站位于海拔5000米以上,是世界上最高的火车站。在这样的高海拔环境中,氧气稀薄,天气多变,还有强烈的紫外线辐射,这些恐怕是我们铁路工人面临的最大挑战。因此建造了多个制氧站以确保工人的身体健康,我们还会定期到低海拔地区休整。 火车经过措那湖时,一股自豪感和成就感在我心中油然而生。当年,沿着措那湖边,我们用成千上万个沙袋筑起了一道二十千米的保护墙,使它免受建筑废料的污染。措那湖离铁路那么近,我真想伸出手去摸一摸它那镜面似的浅蓝色湖面。在湖中嬉戏的水鸟和在草原上游荡的牛羊使景色栩栩如生。 几个世纪以来,青藏高原是无数人向往的地方。如今,由于我们的付出,来自全国各地的旅客都能亲眼观赏到这片神奇的土地。我们建成了一条“不可能建成”的铁路,并且给予当地环境充分的保护,我为此感到骄傲。青藏铁路真是一条了不起的“天路” 词句助读 课文 翻译助读 ①flexible adj.灵活的 ②accommodation n. 住宿 ③promote vt.推广;促销 [1]what引导finding out后的宾语从句,在从句中作has的宾语。 [2]这里的不定式作the need的后置定语。 ④be made up of由……组成 ⑤be host to是……的栖息地 ⑥be under threat from受到……的威胁 [3]located off the coast of North-east Australia是过去分词短语作状语。 ⑦applicant n.申请人 ⑧eventually adv.最终 [4]此处是现在分词短语作a short video的后置定语,与所修饰部分之间是主动关系。 ⑨in favour of 支持,赞同 ⑩defence n.保护 be advertised as 被宣传为 [5]这里使用了should have done结构,意为“本应该……”,表示对过去某种行为或状态的推测、建议、遗憾或责备等,是对过去情况的虚拟或假设。not…but…意为“不是……而是……”,表示“取舍关系”。前后是并列成分,一般需要对等。 become aware of 意识到 a dream destination理想目的地 [6]whether引导主语从句,与or连用,意为“无论……还是……” THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD How would you like to spend six months living on an island and looking after the Great Barrier Reef? The working hours are flexible① and accommodation② is provided. Key duties include exploring the islands of the reef and finding out [1]what the area has to offer. You’ll need to report back via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. You’ll also be asked to promote③ the islands through newspapers, magazines and TV interviews. This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need [2]to protect it. [3]Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet. About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than 25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is made up of④ living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to⑤ many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from⑥ pollution and climate change. To get this job, the candidates had to make a short video [4]showing how much they knew about the reef. They also needed to prove why they were the best person to do the job. Out of the thousands of applicants⑦, eleven were selected, including a young woman from China. Eventually⑧, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK. Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker. In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of⑨ its defence⑩. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his experiences. Ben later joked that the job [5]should have been advertised not a the “best”, but the “busiest job in the world”! [6]Whether it was a genuine job offer or an eye-catching marketing event isn’t really important. The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware o the beauty of the ocean in the area. What’s more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destinatio for the millions of tourists who visit it each year 世界上最棒的工作 你愿意在一座岛上生活六个月,并照看大堡礁吗?这份工作时间灵活,提供住宿。主要职责包括探索大堡礁的岛屿,探寻当地的自然资源。你需要通过每周更新博客、创建照片日志和拍摄视频的方式来反馈工作成果;你还将被要求通过报纸、杂志和电视采访来推广这些岛屿。 这则岛屿管理员的招聘广告吸引了全世界的兴趣。这其实是一种绝妙的手段,既突出了大堡礁的重要性,又强调了大堡礁需要人类保护。 大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处,是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整体面积接近日本的国土面积,甚至从外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁有2500万年的历史,由生长在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚组成。它是许多鸟类和海洋生物的栖息地。但如今,这一独特又脆弱的区域正在遭受污染和气候变化的威胁。 要想得到这份工作,应聘者需要拍摄一段短视频,展示自己对大堡礁的了解程度。另外,应聘者还需要证明为何自己是这个职位的最佳人选。在成千上万名申请者中,有11人被选中,其中包括一名来自中国的年轻女性。最终,来自英国的本·索撒尔获得了这份工作。 本在做岛屿管理员期间做了很多事情。除了写博客、拍摄照片和撰写有关大堡礁的文章,他还在电视上多次露面号召保护大堡礁,并且担任过国家地理频道的主持人。在那之后,本把自己的经历写成了一本书。本后来开玩笑说,这份工作不应该被宣传为“最好的”,而应该被宣传为“世界上最忙的工作”! 它是一个真正的工作机会还是一个引人注目的营销活动并不重要。最重要的事情是,全世界的人都意识到了这个地区的海洋之美。而且,人们还意识到环境存在于微妙的平衡之中,也知道了人类能够且必须采取什么行动来保护大堡礁。只有如此,大堡礁才能继续作为野生动植物的安全栖息地以及每年数百万游客梦寐以求的旅游目的地 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
