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。 -

第一篇
Tourism
People travel for a lot of reason.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest the year in the rain.This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason:sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's
30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can hand1e; The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this,however,is spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,London,or Oslo.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that______.
A:they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B:they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
C:they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D:they wish to escape from the cold,dark and rainy days back at home答案：D解析：第二段提到北欧游客为了享受阳光而到地中海度假，因为北欧日照短而且阴雨天多。所以选择D。
第二段中提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的地理位置：地处北欧；气候：冬季日照时间短，长期的阴雨天气。与阳光充足的地中海相比，这三个城市不适合度假，因此选A。
第三段介绍“西班牙长长的海岸线较之其他旅游胜地吸引了更多的游客”。因此选择B。
本句介绍西班牙的游客数量，意思是“西班牙有多少居民，就有多少游客”，即西班牙游客的数量与居民的数量一样多。所以应选B。
最后一段介绍虽然地中海存在污染、交通堵塞，但游客兴致不减，他们去地中海是为了享受阳光。因此阴雨的天气会败坏他们的游兴。 -

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle.The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez.And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this,however,is-spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,Iondon,or Oslo.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that they want to see historic remains or religious spots.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：由文章第一段第三句话“Others are looking for culture , or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.”可知，一些旅游者是为了追寻文化之源，或仅仅是想在名胜之地请人给他们拍几张照。而该题句意是，人们旅行时，喜欢在名胜之地自己给自己拍照。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
由文章第一段最后一句话“But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on."可知，大多数欧洲游客是为了寻找阳光充足的海滩晒日光浴。而该题句意是，作者似乎暗示欧洲人去旅游是因为他们想参观一些历史遗迹或宗教景区。因此该叙述是错误的。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句话“Residents of cities like London , Copenhagen , and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.”可知，由于冬季白天很短，伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹的居民在冬季的大部分时间里都是在昏暗中度过的，而其余的季节又都是阴雨连绵的。文中并没有提到伦敦、哥本哈根和阿姆斯特丹因为没有好的名胜古迹和风景区而不适合人们居住。故选C。
由文章第三段第四句话“Spain 's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhereelse.”可知，西班牙那漫长的海岸线更成了众多游客慕名前往的地方。因此西班牙比其他国家更加吸引游客，而不是法国。故选B。
由文章第三段第二句话“Italy 's 30 , 000 hotels are booked solid every summer.”可知，每年夏季，意大利的3万家旅馆全部客满。故选A。
由文章第三段最后一句话“37 million tourists visit yearly , or one tourist for every personliving in Spain.”可知，每年有3700万游客去西班牙旅游，换句话说，旅游者与西班牙居民的人数相当。故选A。
由文章最后一段最后三句话可知，被污染的水并不能影响游客们的兴致，只要阳光普照，地中海地区就比阴冷多雨的北欧好得多。故选B。 -

正确答案： D解析：
由原文第三段中的“He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.”可知，C项正确。文章第三段提到那个时候因为没有收音机或电视，人们喜欢听作者在公共场合读书，所以他四处读书并挣了很多钱，并没有说他喜欢旅行，故A项错误；第一段中提到他的很多书都是关于穷人和他们的苦难的，而不是关于他自己的童年，故B项错误；原文第二段提到，又回到学校上了两年学，狄更斯15岁离开了学校，后来写了The Pickwick Papers，并没有说他是为了要写这本书而离开学校，故D项错误。 -
