He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape. It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.這是它與其它三種電子詞典的不同之處。根據(jù)Brand V7 Dictionary / Translator部分中的“This special model features the largest and most plete RussianEnglish dictionary.”可知Brand V7 Dictionary / Translator是最大和最完整的俄英詞典。 （1）考查推理判斷。It provides readers with 96,000 phrases and 8,000 words.B.The Lingo Traveler 18B.The Lingo Traveler 18C.
