【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird39。seye view of the world. When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. The typical twentiethcentury traveler is the man who always says I39。ve been there. You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say I39。ve been theremeaning, I drove through it at100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.（1）Anthropologists label man nowadays Legless Man because _____.

Histories of the time will go something like this:in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn39。t use their legs even when they went on holiday.可知，人類學(xué)家給人類貼上了“無腿人”的標(biāo)簽，因為人們使用腿越來越少了。故選B。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剝奪) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird39。seye view of the world.” 可知，根據(jù)這篇文章，快節(jié)奏的生活方式會讓人們失去使用眼睛的權(quán)利。故選D。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place.”可知，我們知道高速旅行意味著關(guān)注下一個目的地。故選C。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.”可知，旅行的最好方法是步行。故選D?！军c評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 The killdeer, a small bird known for its highpitched(聲調(diào)高的)call, could lead to the cancellation(取消) of one of Canada39。 biggest music festivals. The first hint of trouble for Ottawa39。s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. This is one of the most challenging problems we39。ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this, said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival. Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we39。re taking it very seriously. The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in. We don39。t know when the eggs might hatch, said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so. The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate(搬遷)the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival39。s 11day run, said Monahan. It39。s highly likely that the festival39。s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs. Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however. Most of the people we39。re working with are looking for a positive solution, Monahan said. There is no one saying that the festival can39。t go on. As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy.
