B Some unusual ways of transportation
导读：同学们，你们知道有哪些交通工具吗？除了我们最常见的，世界上还有很多不同的交通工具，让我们一起来看看吧。
Venice has many rivers. People don't travel by car or bike. They travel by gondola(贡多拉，威尼斯小划船).
In the desert，some people travel by camel. Camels can walk a long time in the sun.

In Thailand(泰国)，you can travel by elephant. An elephant can carry three or four people.
In very cold places，some people travel by sled. The sled is pulled by dogs. It is cold but fun.
第四张图
In Maldives(马尔代夫)，you can take a seaplane from one island to another. Seaplanes are aircraft—they take off，land and stay on water.

二、你能说出更多不同寻常的交通工具吗？

一、(1) water (2) seaplane (3) elephant (4) camel (5) sled
二、示例：Hot air balloon.

一、根据短文内容定位关键信息：
1. 威尼斯有多条河流，马尔代夫的水上飞机在水上运行，二者的交通场景都和水域相关，故第一空填water；
2. 由“In Maldives...you can take a seaplane from one island to another”可知马尔代夫的交通方式为seaplane；
3. 由“In Thailand，you can travel by elephant”可知泰国的交通方式为elephant；
4. 由“In the desert，some people travel by camel”可知沙漠地区的交通方式为camel；
5. 由“In very cold places，some people travel by sled”可知寒冷地区的交通方式为sled。
二、结合日常积累，写出符合要求的不寻常交通工具即可。
