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。 -

Kublai Khan had many palaces and Shangtu was the one he used in the summer. It was (8) si____ in the mountains south of the Gobi desert. Every year when (9)____was over, he and his friends moved down from Shangtu to Dadu in the lowlands. This was his winter (10) p____ and it is now called Beijing.正确答案： 1.famous 由常识可知马可波罗是著名的旅行家。
2.book 由write和下一句的照应词the book可知此处该填book。
3.few 由前面的对应词many和句中的but可知前后为转折关系,所以应填few。
4.wealthy 由后面的“经常去旅行”可知马可波罗家族很富有。
5.emperor 由常识可知忽必烈是蒙古君主。Kublai Khan忽必烈汗。
6.returned 由首句知马可波罗家族是意大利人,故此句意为“从中国回到意大利”。
7.capital 根据下文可知,Shangtu是Kublai Khan行宫的所在地,首字母又是cap,可推知Shangtu是首都。
8.situated 根据下文可以看出本句是在说Shangtu的位置,所以应填situated,意为“座落,位于”。
9.summer 由前两句话可知,Shangtu是Kublai Khan夏天避暑的行宫,此处说Kublai Khan要搬离Shangtu了,也就是说夏天结束了。
10.palace 上文提到Kublai Khan有很多行宫,夏天在Shangtu,夏天结束后便迁往大都,这说明大都也有他的行宫。winter palace冬天的行宫。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Passage 1 Some people were just born to rebel; Charles Darwin was 1 of them. Likewise Nicholas Copernicus, Benjamin Franklin and Bill Gates. They were 2 “laterborns” —that is, they had at least one older sibling — brother or sister — when they were born. In fact, laterborns are up to 15 times more 3 than firstborns to resist authority and 4 new ground, says Frank J. Sulloway, a researcher scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In his book “Born To Rebel” being released this week, Sulloway claims that 5 someone is an older or younger sibling is the most important 6 shaping personality—more significant 7 gender, race, nationality or class. He 8 26 years studying the lives—and birth orders—of 6,566 historical figures to 9 his conclusions. A laterborn himself, Sulloway first posed how birth order 10 personality as a scholar of Darwin at Harvard University. “ 11 could a somewhat commonplace student at Cambridge become the most revolutionary thinker in the 19th century?” he said. Darwin, the first to 12 the belief 13 God created the world with his theory of evolution, was the fifth of six 14 . Most of his opponents were firstborns. Sulloway’s theory held 15 with Copernicus, the first astronomer to propose that the Sun was the center of the universe, and computer revolutionary Gates of Microsoft.正确答案： 1. one 句意:一些人生来就具有反叛精神,而查尔斯·达尔文就是他们中的一个。空格部分位于of them,应该填入代词one。
2. all 前文提到了四个人物,这里应该指“全,都”的肯定意思,故填入all。
3. likely be likely to do sth.为固定搭配,意思为“更有可能做某事”。这里使用了比较结构:be more likely than sb. to do sth.比某人更有可能做某事。因此该空填入likely。
4. break 分析句子结构resist authourity后面使用了and连接空格部分,也就是说空格部分与resist authority并列,因此应该填入意思相近的词语。break new ground为固定搭配,意思为“开辟新天地”,符合该处语境。因此本题填入break。
5. whether Sulloway claims that后面的宾语从句中,其主语为主语从句“…someone is an older or younger sibling”,whether...or...引导主语从句,表示“是……还是……”,符合此处语境,意思为“一个人是家里较年长的孩子还是较小的孩子”。因此此处填入whether。
6. factor 句意:索罗卫声称,一个人是家里较年长的孩子还是较小的孩子,是形成性格的最重要的因素。根据语境可知,这里指的是形成性格最重要的因素,因此填入factor。
7. than 此处为比较级结构,通过significant前面的more可知,此处需填入than。
8. spent spend...(in) doing sth. 表示花时间做某事。此处为发生在过去的事情,因此填入spent。
9. reach/draw reach a conclusion/ draw a conclusion得出结论。
10. affected/shaped/influenced 根据上下文语境可知,此句指出生顺序对性格的影响,因此填入affected、shaped或者influenced等词。
11. How 根据上文中提到的“how birth order...”,可知,这里应该填入how。注意首字母大写。
12. challenge/question 根据上下文语境和常识可知,达尔文的进化论挑战了上帝创造人类的想法,因此此处填入changllege、question等词。
13. that 空格后面为belief的同位语从句,因此空格处需填入that。
14. children/siblings 本文通篇在讨论出生顺序对个人的影响,根据语境,此处应该指达尔文是六个孩子中排行第五。因此此处填入children或者siblings。
15. true 该句表达的是索罗卫的理论用在哥白尼和比尔·盖茨身上都是正确的。hold true for/with...对/在……适用。因此填入true。解析： 暂无解析 -
