【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 行的經(jīng)歷。作者從中收獲了很多。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“For years, decades in fact, I39。ve puzzled over the response most people have when I tell them I mostly travel alone.”多年來(lái)，甚至幾十年來(lái)，當(dāng)我告訴大多數(shù)人我主要是獨(dú)自旅行時(shí)，他們的反應(yīng)讓我感到困惑。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna. It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.”在我們動(dòng)身的前兩天，她寫信通知我，她將在維也納中途離開我。那時(shí)再找一個(gè)朋友已經(jīng)太晚了，所以我要么從維也納回家，要么一個(gè)人繼續(xù)走。我繼續(xù)。我自己上了火車，自己住旅館，自己找路?？芍?，關(guān)于她第一次獨(dú)自旅行，作者說她不得不選擇自己去，故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)最后一段中的“That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.”那是30年前的事了，從那時(shí)起，我周游世界，通常是獨(dú)自一人。我仍然做我當(dāng)時(shí)做的事，那就是記日記。由此可知，文“The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way.”的意思是獨(dú)自旅行最棒的禮物就是一路上遇到的人。 solo travel 的意思是獨(dú)自旅行，故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.”我可能每次都是獨(dú)自出發(fā)，但我遇到了很多對(duì)我很重要的人。我在尼泊爾加德滿都遇見了我的丈夫。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結(jié)識(shí)了一生的朋友?？芍髡邚乃穆眯兄械玫降暮锰幨且宦飞纤龅搅撕芏嗳耍蔬xD。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和詞義猜測(cè)兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of puter technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects. We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the worldrenowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China39。s Gansu Province. There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes. What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences. Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high! It won39。t be possible to travel back in timethat only happens in filmsbut visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.（1）Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science?
