word - 1 - / 6 Unit 8 Adventure

瞬间刺激的冒险运动有很多，蹦极就是一个不错的选择！为什么那么多人喜欢体验蹦极呢？

Bungee Jumping

Around the world more and more people are taking part in

dangerous sports and activities.Of course，there have always been

people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed the

highest mountain，explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across

the greatest ocean.Now，however，there are people who seek an immediate thrill from

a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jump

from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot­air balloon)200 meters above the ground

with an elastic rope tied to your ankles.You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour.

It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee

jumping.Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping

involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.

Adventure In The Himalayas

Just imagine.You are walking along a mountain path in the Himalayas.You are

feeling tired.You are thinking about how far there is to go.Then，suddenly you are

there! And the amazing Mount Qomolangma is on the horizon.It looks great.A few minutes

later，you arrive at the camp.The food cooking on the fire smells great and while word

- 3 - / 6 you are having a hot cup of tea，you relax and watch the sun go down.①At dinner，the food tastes fantastic.You talk with other people in the group about everything

you have seen and done during your day's hiking②.If you are looking for experiences

like this，Adventure 2000 is the organisation(团体) for you.

A lot of hiking holidays sound exciting，but the reality is often very

different.Hiking trips can be unfortable(不舒服的) and even dangerous.However，at

Adventure 2000 we feel that we understand the needs of hikers.All our guides have

several years of experience in leading hiking trips in the Himalayas.They know all

the best routes(路线) and best places to camp.We also realise that hiking can be hard

work and believe that hikers need all our help.As well as the group guide，all teams

have cooks and porters(行李搬运工)．While on a hiking trip③，our cooks prepare

delicious meals.And our porters carry your luggage，which means that you can simply

enjoy the experience④.

喜马拉雅探险

设想一下，你正走在喜马拉雅山的一条山路上，感到疲惫。你正在想还要走多远，然后突然发现自己已经在那儿了！令人惊叹的珠穆朗玛峰就在地平线上，它看起来很壮观。几分钟后，你到达营地。火上烧烤着的食物闻起来非常棒，你喝着一杯热茶，全身放松，欣赏日落。晚饭时，食物尝起来好极了，你和小组内其他成员谈论着在你一天的旅行中所见及所做的一切。如果你正在寻找像这样的经历，“探险2000〞是适合你的团体。

很多徒步旅行听起来令人兴奋，但通常事实并非如此。徒步旅行可能会不舒服，甚至会很危险。然而，在“探险2000〞中，我们认为我们了解徒步旅行者的需求。我们所有的向导都有多年在喜马拉雅山上带领徒步旅行者旅行的经验。他们熟知所有最正确的路线及最好的宿营地。我们也认识到徒步旅行可能会很艰难，并且确信徒步旅行者需要我们所有的帮助。所有的登山队都配有厨师、搬运工和向导。在徒步旅行过程中，厨师会备好美味的食物。有搬运工为你搬运行李，这意味着你能尽情享受旅行。

[助读讲解] ①and连接两个并列句，第一个分句是主系表结构的简单句，现在分词cooking on the fire作后置定语，修饰The food；第二个分句含有while引导的时间状语从句。②本句是省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词everything。③while引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候〞，此句是省略句，省略了主语和be。④which引导非限定性定语从句，指代前面整个句子。

At Adventure 2000 we also think that good travel arrangements are important.We word - 4 - / 6 organise all the flights for you：from London to Beijing，from Beijing to Lhasa and

bus travel in Tibet.

Acmodation is in fortable hotels in Beijing and Lhasa，hostels on the hiking trip，and one­or two­person tents for camping.

There are also special offers for people who don't want to go straight home

afterwards.If you like history，there is a trip to Western China.For people who prefer

to spend some time on the coast⑤，we can organise your travel and acmodation too.

This is a Class A hike—you have to be fit.There are walks of 6­8 hours most days，with a maximum altitude(海拔) of 5，545 metres.Class B and C hikes are easier，so
