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

参考解析
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。

考题 Passage OneLong 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 soB. they liked staying at homeC. there was no modern transportationD. they were forbidden to go to other countries

考题 共用题干 第二篇Things We Know about TVWe keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack(霹雳)of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"(帮凶)and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world__________.A:bad things cause people to break down in the rainB:bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC:people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas D:the crack of lightning and the flash don't harmen at the same time

考题 Very few of our birds stay with us the year round.Some come to us in the winter from the cold?north.Others come from the south to spend the summer with us.How do they know the way?Suppose?you were told to find your way to a place hundreds of miles away,do you think you could do it? Yet birds travel over mountains,forests,lakes and even across the oceans,and do not stray from?the path.They find their way back in the spring to the same orchard(果园)and the very trees where?they nested the summer before. It is wonderful how quickly birds travel such long distances from their summer homes to their?winter ones.Some birds have been known to fly hundreds of miles in a day.But others travel much?more slowly. Why do birds undertake these long journeys twice a year?Perhaps cold weather and lack of?food drive them from us in the autumn,but we cannot tell why they leave the sunny south to come?back to us in the spring.We know only that many of them like to make their nests and rear their?young in the north. We are sorry to see them go,but we know that when winter is over they will come back to us. How far do birds usually travel from their summer homes to their winter ones?A.About hundreds of miles. B.About thousands of miles. C.The distance that takes a bird to fly the whole morning. D.The passage does not tell us.

考题 There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a colour film. Or you can read travel books. It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself, if they are informative and have a good index (索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective (客观的)description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way. Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "wonderful", "excellent" or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.This passage is about (). A、how to travelB、how to buy travel booksC、how to read a travel bookD、travel books
