With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it's comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long - distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it's a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double - check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won't have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you're riding on trains, you won't be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.
Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.
Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you're going 67.92 mph.
A. Train trips aren't for impatient types.
B. You'll have views from both sides of the train.
C. The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control.
D. That's particularly true during busy summer months.
E. You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one.
F. Chances are the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom.
G. He may also book you in a sleeping car that's right next to the diner.
1. ____D
2. ____G
3. ____C
4. ____E
5. ____A

答案： 1. D 根据上文"Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly."以及下文"But no matter when you travel, it's a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance."可知,大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完,所以要提前安排预定,D 项"在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。"符合语境,说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选 D。
"busy summer months"与上下文呼应
2. G 根据上文"A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets."以及下文"Then you won't have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals."可知,好的旅行社帮你预定,不仅可以找到打折的票,还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离,G 项中的"book you in a sleeping car that's right next to the diner"与上下文对应,故可推知 G 项"他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。"符合语境。故选 G。
3. C 根据上文"When you're riding on trains, you won't be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one."以及下文"In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold."可知,这里提到了车厢内温度的问题,提醒乘客最好自备毛毯,C 项中的"The temperature on rail cars"与上下文对应,因此推断 C 项"列车上的温度通常很难控制。"符合语境。故选 C。
4. E 根据上文"Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster."以及下文"Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times."可知,本段提醒要提前安排时间,错过时间是很麻烦的事情,E 项说明错过火车导致的结果,因此可推知 E 项"你可能要等上超过 24 小时才能赶上下一班。"符合语境。
"You might have to wait longer"与上下文对应
5. A 根据上文"Have fun."以及下文"Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600 (the number of seconds in an hour) by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile (the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you're going 67.92 mph."可知,本段讲述如何度过乘车时间,A 项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人,与下文要计算时间,用不同的方式打发时间对应,符合语境。故选 A。
