　　On the day before our departure, several bus loads of touristsdescended on the town. This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spendour last day exploring the countryside. Taking a path which led out of the town, wecrossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood.

　　10.We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way throughthe trees.

　　我们原以为小路会到此突然终止。没想到它到树林中继续向前延伸。

　　我们在树林中跋涉了两个多小时，到了一条深溪边。

　　12.We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea howwe could get across the stream.

　　我们可以看到小路在深溪对岸继续向前伸展，但却不知如何越过这道深溪。

　　语言点2:how can sb.get across的意思是“某人如何越过”。
