Seeing the World Centuries Ago
If you enjoy looking through travel books by such familiar authors as Arthur Frommer or Eugene Fodor,it will not surprise you to learn that travel writing has a long and venerable history.Almost from the earliest annals of recorded time individuals have found ready audi-ences for their accounts of journeys to strange and exotic locales.
One of the earliest travel writers,a Greek geographer and historian named Strabo,lived around the time of Christ.Though Strabo is known to have traveled from east of the Black Sea west to Italy and as far south as Ethiopia,he also used details gleaned from other writers to extend and enliven his accounts.His multivolumed work Geography provides the only sur-viving account of the cities,peoples,customs,and geographical peculiarities of the whole known world of his time.
Two other classic travel writers,the Italian Marco Polo and the Moroccan Ibn Battutah, lived in roughly the same time period.Marco Polo traveled to China with his father and uncle in about A.D.1275 and remained there 16 or 17 years,visiting several other countries during his travels.When Marco returned to Italy he dictated his memoirs,including stories he had heard from others,to a scribe,with the resulting book Ⅱ milione being an instant success.Though difficult to attest to the accuracy of all he says,Marco's book impelled Europeans to begin their great voyages of exploration.
Ibn Battutah's interest in travel began on his required Muslim journey to Mecca in 1325, and during his lifetime he journeyed through all the countries where Islam held sway.His travel book the Rihlah is a personalized account of desert journeys,court intrigues,and even the effect of the Back Death in the various lands he visited.In almost 30 years of traveling it is estimated that Ibn Battutah covered more than 75,000 miles.

This passage is mostly about______.
A:why people find travel writing exciting
B:the literary style of three early travel writers
C:where three early travel writers went and wrote about
D:how to write a travel book
参考答案和解析
答案:C
解析:
题干意为“这篇文章主要讲了什么?”该题属于主旨题。首先结合短文标题来了解短文主题。短文标题为“看数个世纪以前的世界”,依据短文标题可以推断出短文主要内容应该涉及到对过去情况的介绍。四个选项中,A“为什么人们觉得旅行写作令人激动”,B “三位早期旅行作家的文学风格”,C“三位早期旅行作家去过的地方以及他们的写作内容”,D “如何写一部旅行作品”。显然,四个选项中只有选项C涉及到了过去的情况(三位早期旅行作家去过的地方),所以答案为C。
题干意为“Ibn Battutah到过哪里旅行?”该题为细节题。利用题干及备选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索,在短文中寻找相关句:(最后一段第一句话)he(指Battutah)journeyed through all the countries where Islam held sway(与the Muslim world呼应)。相关句意为“在他有生之年,他去了所有的穆斯林国家旅行”。由此可知,他去过了所有穆斯林的国家。因此C“遍及穆斯林的世界”是正确的答案。
题干意为“三位作家的作品都很受欢迎,原因是什么?”该题属于细节题。整篇短文包含四个段落,第2,3,4段对这三位作家和他们的作品进行了介绍,由此判断对这三位作家的作品进行概述的内容应该出现在短文第一段中。第一段的最后一句意为“几乎从最早有记载的时期开始,人们就发现,描写异域风土人情的游词是不乏读者的”,由此可知这三本游记吸引读者的原因是B“它们讲述陌生而奇异的地方”。A“它们列出了好的地方”,C“它们介绍了去一些地方的最佳路线”,D“它们的所有故事都是一手资料”。都不合适,因此答案为B。
题干意为“这篇文章是以哪种方式进行布局的?”本文主要依照时间顺序介绍了公元前后的三位作家,按时间先后用序,因此A“按照时间顺序排列的”是正确的答案。
题干意为“在这篇文章中attest是什么意思?”attest是个超纲词,首先找到 attest所在的语境Though difficult to attest to the accuracy of all he says,Marco's book impelled Europeans to begin their great voyages of exploration。该句意为“虽然很难……他所说的准确程度有多少,但是马可的书促使欧洲人开始了他们伟大的航海探索之旅。”A“考察”; B“画一张地图”;C“说谎”;D“证实”,显然选项D填入attest所在的语境中意义最通顺,因此 答案为D。

第1题:

Passage One

Long time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.

Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.

Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.

We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.

There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.

36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.

A. they found it no use doing so

B. they liked staying at home

C. there was no modern transportation

D. they were forbidden to go to other countries


正确答案:C

此题为细节题。见在第一段内the ancient people could not travel to any faraway places for they had no instruments说明古人出游不能离家太远作长途旅行的原因;没有现代的交通工具。

27.

答案:A

解析:根据文中“The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like. It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options.”可知,软件的作用有:按照读者喜好调整屏幕上文字的大小,翻页,改变阅读选择。所以这个软件的主要作用还是阅读已经下载的电子书,选A。

28.

答案:A

解析:根据文中“If you load them onto your portable computer, you can take them with you when you travel.”可知,A项正确。B项断章取义,e-books Reader是一个阅读器,只能用来阅读电子书,不能订阅;根据“when you order an e—book, there is no waiting and no shipping charges”可知,C项错误;根据“The amount of time it takes to download your e —book depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your e— book.”可知,D项说法不准确。

29.

答案:C

解析:根据文章最后一句可知,C项正确,电子书下载时间决定于它的大小。根据“An e—book (also referred to as an electronic book, e—book, or e—book) is a digital version of a print book”可知,A项错误;根据“The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.”可知,电子书字体的大小是可以改变的,B项错误;根据“E —books are a fun alternative to regular books. ”可知,D项错误。

30.

答案:B

解析:文章第一句对e—book进行解释和定义,接下来对e—books具体使用方法等内容进行介绍,据此可知这篇文章主要内容就是介绍e—books,故选B。
