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.
选项 This passage is mostly about______.A:why people find travel writing excitingB:the literary style of three early travel writersC:where three early travel writers went and wrote aboutD: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 [u]all the countries where Islam held sway[/u]（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 [u]attest[/u] 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。
