Once you know where you are going, arranging for the basic transportation is the next task.

Trains – Traveling by train has fallen out of favour with many travellers in North America, but trains are well worth considering when the location you are traveling to is well-served by trains. High speed train travel, when combined with rail passes, can also be a good way to get to different parts of a large country and avoid the stress of driving or flying. Be aware that long distance passenger train schedules are rarely accurate (especially in North America), so plan to give yourself a day or so before boarding and after leaving those trains.

Airlines – Airfares are usually cheaper when purchased in advance rather than at the last minute, so book your airline tickets first, then structure the rest of your trip around your arrival and departure times. Airfares vary on different days of the week and different times of the month and year, so if you’re flexible with your departure time, select that option on the booking website so cheaper fares can be found for you to consider.

Car rentals – If you are driving to a destination instead of flying, you will need to prepare for spending days on the road. It is also important to keep a close eye on car rental rates, since they can jump around based on demand, and even from location to location within a city or region.

Tours – Tours are great because everything is usually arranged for you. The downside is that you are part of a group, so no matter where you go, there is a crowd with you. You need to be flexible when traveling with a tour group because not all the arrangements (or possibly tour members) may suit you.

1. What do we know about traveling by train?
A.It’s North Americans’ favorite.B.It is convenient in North America.
C.It might not guarantee your travel schedule.D.It causes as much stress as driving.
2. What do Airlines and Car rentals have in common?
A.The money charged varies.B.Your flexibility is allowed.
C.Convenience is guaranteed.D.No preparations are needed.
3. Which option can save the trouble of organizing in person?
A.Trains.B.Airlines.C.Car rentals.D.Tours.

文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个很有冒险性的旅游景点。

【推荐1】While people are traveling more than ever, there are still unimagined adventures. Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, shares some.

Sleep in a suspended pod

Calea, Peru

Hanging out in Peru takes on a whole new meaning when you book a room hanging from the side of a mountain. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this before,” says Hall. “You’re overlooking the Sacred Valley, one of the most popular places to stay in the country.”

Trampoline(蹦床) underground

Gwynedd, Wales

Northern Wales has found a clever use for one of its old mines, turning a former industrial site into an underground trampoline park. Visitors find rope ladders and slides, and a line of trampolines spreading nearly a mile. “When my kids saw them, they went crazy absolutely,” Hall says.

Surf down the side of a volcano

Cerro Negro, Nicaragua

Thrill-seekers don’t need surf or snow on this active volcano. Tour companies bring visitors to the peak, which is covered with fine black ash. “You climb up it, jump on a board, and you go very fast for a long way. It’s an exciting ride,” Hall says.

See art inside a bunker

Berlin

Take in art and history at the Boros Collection--a private art gallery housed inside a World War II bunker. The building, which once protected Nazi leaders, served as a nightclub after the fall of the Berlin Wall. “It was pretty hard to get rid of because it’s so well-constructed,” Hall says. “Now it has some very interesting and unusual art.”

1. What about the room in Calea impresses Tom Hall most?
A.Its size.B.Its shape.
C.Its location.D.Its color.
2. What’s special about the trampoline park in Wales?
A.It has many rope ladders.
B.It’s close to an industrial site.
C.It has games designed for kids.
D.It has many trampolines lined up.
3. A historian is most likely to visit the suggested site in      .
A.CaleaB.Gwynedd
C.Cerro NegroD.Berlin
