As Francis Bacon once said, "Travel, in the 36 sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of 37 ."Travel is the means through which man is able to 38 himself from the daily stress and anxieties of this world. It 39 him to get away from his pressure and be 40 to the wonders and excitement of this world.If it had not been for travel and man's limitless 41 , man would never have been able to 42 his civilization in all the parts of the globe. Christopher Columbus' 43 to know what lies ahead of the Pacific landed him up in America; Vasco De Gamma's curiosity to know the world 44 him to India.Travel 45 a man by bringing him to adapt to real life. It broadens the 46 of people and clears the 47 between urban and suburban lifestyles. For instance, if one would take a trip to coastal America and then to the Midwest, one would realize a(n) 48 difference between the two lifestyles.Although, with advancements in 49 , the television and Internet fulfill this task quite 50 . However, the make-belief reality also annoys us sometimes.51 visiting the places, meeting the people and eating the local food is attractive and also a lesson, sometimes 52 with an adventure.Some people 53 travel to be a waste of time rather than a form of education. These people would rather be 54 in their own busy lives than take a break and sink into the beauty of God's 55 . Robert Louis Stevenson said, "I travel not to go anywhere but to go; I travel for travel's sake."36. A. older B. younger C. stronger D. happier37. A. history B. development C. experience D. regret38. A. liberate B. protect C. reduce D. take39. A. lets B. changes C. makes D. enables40. A. absorbed B. exposed C. engaged D. provided41. A. curiosity B. pressure C. demand D. pursue42.

All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27thBangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday, March 30thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say "hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.56. It seems that visitors in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can't take any photosC. can have a good timeD. feel a little bored57. The people in the village .A. are friendly to othersB. like to speak EnglishC. hope to live in the citiesD. live a very busy life58. What is the best title(标题)for the whole diary?A. My First TravelB. The Outside WorldC. Traveling in ThailandD. My Trip to Chiang Mai59. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Chiang Mai is a beautiful city in the south of Thailand.B. The writer left Chiang Mai for Chiang Rai by bus.C. The writer is traveling alone in Thailand.D. The writer will take a bus to Chiang Mai.BBehind our house is the start of a fascinating trail(小径). This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest. My dog, Beans, and I walk the trail frequently. Normally, Beans sniffs alongside the trail to follow the smell of a deer track or explore some cause known only to him.Beans is a white dog, quite handsome and very smart. He not only understands what we tell him, but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to speak back.One morning, we took a different route, which led us to an unfamiliar trail. I was sure this trail would eventually lead us to our familiar path. But, no. We seemed to be far off course. After two hours, I suddenly realized that Beans probably knew the way home. So I urged, "Beans, take me home." He ran down a new trail. But it merely led to an intersection of trails.Soon it became apparent that we were getting nowhere. I began to picture the rest of the day in the forest, without food or drink. We had walked about ten miles. But Beans seemed totally unconcerned. The sniffing and exploring was going well for him.Finally, we came to a crossroad near a highway. Lady Luck suggested I should turn left. We did and shortly reached a cottage beside a field. I knocked on the door and explained my situation to an old man. He laughed and then drove us home.Since our adventure, I concluded that Beans probably knew all along how to get home. He was just having too much fun exploring new trails.60. From the passage, we know that Beans .A. is a dogB. walked aloneC. is a deerD. drove us home61. What does the underlined word "intersection" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Path.B. Forest.C. Crossroad.D. Situation.62. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. There is a fascinating trail to untold miles of forest behind our house.B. Beans not only understands what we tell him, but also often tries to speak back.C. I would like to take a photograph of the forest without food or drink.D. At last Lady Luck drove us home after I told her our situation.63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Friendship Between Beans and IB. An Unforgettable AdventureC. Beans, I Never Forgave HimD. A Fascinating TrailCHello, this is your captain speaking.Okay, I lied. I don't sit in the cockpit(驾驶舱). I sit where you sit. And I fly a lot. So I would like to suggest ways we may meet when we are on the plane.Here are a few gentle suggestions:First, when you finally sit down, think before you push your seat back into the person behind you. Breaking kneecaps(膝盖骨) is for violent movies.Feet. As in bare feet. Don't do it. Maybe at home you like to take off your socks and plant your toes wherever you like, but not on a plane, okay? I recently sat next to a woman who stuck her bare feet on the cabin wall! Please. Unless you're Spider-Man and about to walk upside down, keep the shoes on, all right?Kids. Let's talk about kids. Kids love airplanes. Many can't believe they have a seat in front of them; they can kick all flight long, while mom and dad watch the movie. Please. Tell them to stop.And if you've got a crying baby at least pretend you're trying to keep him quiet. Don't hide behind a US Weekly.Also, once your kids stop crying, the plane should not hear from them again until they are old enough to be—and actually are—the pilots. I recently had a little boy behind me who all flight long kept singing, at the top of his lungs, "Go-Go-Go... the cat in the hat!". I don't know this song, but I do know his mom did nothing to stop him.So there you go. With a little cooperation, we can all have a better year as passengers. Thank you for your attention. And now, as the captain says, sit back and relax.64. Who is the author most probably?A. A captain.B. A pilot.C. An airline employee.D. An airline passenger.65. The author thinks the woman who put her bare feet on the cabin wall .A. disgustingB. dirtyC. coldD. boring66. According to the text, the author seems to .A. dislike badly-behaved kidsB. oppose kids' traveling by airC. hope parents try to control their babiesD. think some parents shouldn't read newspapers67. What would be the best title for the text?A. Say No to ViolenceB. Mind Your Own BusinessC. Making the Skies a Bit FriendlierD. Safety Tips About Traveling by AirDThere are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places or you can go and see a colour film or you can read travel books.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index(索引), they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective(客观的) description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book The third kind are those books that are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “magical”. You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.68. This passage is about .A. how to travelB. how to buy travel booksC. how to read a travel bookD. travel books69. The following travel books may be of use when you plan your travels except .A. the book written by some people who have had the same travel experience themselvesB. the book which tells you what is worth doing and seeing based on the factsC. the book in which a lot of big adjectives are used to draw your attentionD. the book which offers you a lot of useful information like a tour guide70. The date of the publication must be noticed because .A. the world is changing and so are the places you are going to visitB. the price of the book is always changingC. the author of the book may be differentD. the contents of the book are always the same五、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）Visiting London can be an expensive trip. 71. The following steps can help you find cheap alternatives for transport for your London trip.● Familiarize yourself with the city. Do some homework about different parts of London ahead of time and determine specifically the area where you will be staying. How to establish where in the city you will be staying and distance you are from the major tourist attractions you want to visit? 72.● Find a local provider of Transport for London tickets or tra vel cards, since your first bargain purchase will be an Oyster Card. The Oyster Card is accepted citywide on buses, boats and the London Underground, known by the locals as "the tube".● Make the most of the Oyster Card. There are73. tube stations in London that accept the Oyster Card, with a high concentration in central London 74.The Transport for London website offers a tube station search facility to find the nearest subway station to any location in the city. When you find a tube station, you can easily locate the closest bus stop by using the comparison bus-tube maps at the station's entrance.75. Making a pan for transport will save your unnecessary expenses, wasted trips on the tube and doubling back on your journey.A. Seek out your nearest Tube Station.B. The bus is the cheapest means of transport in London.C. You can use a street map, or an online map search engine.D. By visiting the Transport for London website, people can avoid getting lost.E. Follow the Transport for London Tube Guide to your destinations and always plan ahead.F. If you are staying anywhere in central London, there'll be a tube station less than 10 minutes away.G. So establishing a budget and finding bargains will help you get around London on the cheap.六、补全短文（共10小题；共10分）Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. She 76.

人教版英语高中必修一Unit 3 Travel journal单元测试卷(附答案)

Unit 3 Travel journal单元测试卷第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

APhiladelphia (CNN) — Hazel Donnelly was taking her husband to the doctor when they got a call that their building was on fire.Her first thought was about Kramer. “I don‟t have children of my own, so my cat is like my child. I became very sad,” said Donnelly, 50. “What if he didn‟t make it?”Once she arrived home, Donnelly asked firefighters (消防员) to get her cat, but they were busy trying to control the fire. Then Red Paw Emergency Relief Team arrived. The organization helps pets and their owners for free when disaster strikes. Jen Leary, who set up the group, helped find the animals once the fire was out.“Everyone who received their pets started to cry,” said Donnelly.No one was hu rt, but the Donnellys‟ building was badly damaged, and they weren‟t sure where they were going to stay. Donnelly was excited to learn that Red Paw could provide free short-term care for Kramer, her 17-year-old cat.“When someone loses everything in a fire, they shouldn‟t then be forced to lose their pets — their family members —as well,” Leary said. “Letting them know, …We‟ll take care of your animal like it is our own‟ means the world to people.”After a big fire in 2011, Leary formed her organization. Since then, Leary and her group have provided help to nearly 1,000 animals and their families throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Like the Red Cross, but for animals.Red Paw cared for the Donnellys‟ cat for more than three weeks. “I cried when we were reunited,” said Donnelly. “They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am so thankful.”For Leary, helping fam ilies and their pets is what her work is all about. “My hope is that it‟s a start, and they can move forward together,” she said. “After going through such a sad thing, it‟s so good to have a happy ending.”21. We can infer from the text that Kramer is _____.A. Donnelly‟s husbandB. Donnelly‟s childC. a firefighterD. a cat22. What do we know about Red Paw?A. It offers help to pets and their families.B. It was set up by Hazel Donnelly.C. It belongs to the Red Cross.D. It saves people in disasters.23. The fire in the Donnellys‟ building _____.A. took many people‟s livesB. caused great damage to the buildingC. left Donnelly seriously hurtD. led to the loss of a family member24. Who looked after Kramer for a long time after the fire?A. A doctor.B. Jen Leary.C. Red Paw.D. The Red CrossBWelcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you‟re not afraid. You‟re j ust out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there‟s nothing out here but some rocks.Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones‟ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人).Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water — leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.25. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A. fearB. angerC. surpriseD. excitement26. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.A. the iceB. the windC. aliensD. animals27. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn‟t move by themselves.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.CDear friends and colleagues (同事) of Tom Blumenthal,We are organizi ng a celebration honoring Tom‟s research career (生涯).
