* Module 5　A Trip Along the Three Gorges教材背景链接 Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages. 外出旅行语言最要紧。 He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. 不到长城非好汉。 If you would go up high，then use your own legs！Do not seat yourself on other people’s backs and heads.—F.W.Nietzsche 如果你想走到高处，就要使用自己的两条腿，不要坐在别人的背上和头上。——F.W.尼采 名言佳句 类文欣赏 Three Gorges Dam The Three Gorges Dam was constructed at a place called Sandouping in the middle of the Xiling Gorge.The dam was completed in the summer of 2006，and the water level in the Qutang，Wuxia，and the western portion of the Xiling Gorge has already begun to rise.In addition to the impacts of the dam on the ecology (生态学) and people of the region，the dam will also change the scenery of the Three Gorges.Because the water level will be higher，the river will be wider and the mountains will appear lower.Proponents of the dam point out that because the mountains reach several thousand feet above the river，the gorges are still likely to offer spectacular views of the surrounding cliffs，and it should be noted that most riverboat companies that operate in the Three Gorges intend to continue to offer tours of the region.The increase in width of the Gorges will also allow larger ships through the gorges，and it is anticipated that river traffic of all kinds will increase. The Three Gorges region is a scenic area along the Yangtze River in the People’s Republic of China with a total length of approximately 200 km.The Three Gorges occupy approximately 120 km within this region.Although it is primarily famous for its scenery，the Three Gorges region is historically and culturally an important region in China.
