26、d venerable history. Almost from the earliest annals of recorded time individuals have found ready audiences 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

27、 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 surviving account of the cities, peoples, customs, and geographical

28、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 se

29、veral 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 Il milione being an instant success. Though difficult to attest to the accuracy of all he says, Marco's book impelled E

30、uropeans 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 jour

31、neys, court intrigues, and even the effect of the Black 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.31 This passage is mostly about_. A why people find travel writing exciting B the literary style of three e

32、arly travel writers C where three early travel writers went and wrote about D how to write a travel book 32 Ibn Battutah traveled_. A to China B to Ethiopia C throughout the Muslim world D for 16 or 17 years 33 The books of the three writers were popular because_. A they listed good places to stay B

33、 they told of strange and exotic locales C they explained the best routes to get to places D all of their stories were firsthand accounts 34 The overall organization of this passage is through_. A chronological order B spatial description C travel writers' personal narratives D persuasive detail

34、s 35 In this passage attest means to_. A give an examination to B draw a map of C tell lies to D give proof of 第二篇 “Lucky” Lord Lucan Alive or DeadOn 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat, vanished. The day before, his childrens nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been att

35、acked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that “Lucky”, as he was called by fr

36、iends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan ha

37、d killed the nanny. What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, “Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it, Lucan's frie

38、nd Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel. Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another count

39、ry. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed. A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed t

40、he identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about “Lucky”? DNA testing has solved many murder c

41、ases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one. 36 The public are still interested in the investigation because_. A of the terrible murder B of the use of new DNA techniques C Lord Lucan has never been found D Loard Lucan was famous 37 It is thought that Lucan killed the nanny because_. A

42、she was looking after the children B she was a friend of Lucan's C it was dark and he thought she was Lady Lucan D Loard Lucan thought the nanny stole his car 38 Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by_. A jumping into water B jumping out of his house C sailing his boat D sinking his boat 39 Lu

43、can could have been killed because people_. A didn't want the police to catch him B thought he might talk to the police about them if he was caught C were unhappy with him D thought he was rich 40 Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin_. A was an old schoolteacher B died in Goa,

44、India C was really Lord Lucan in disguise D was a merchant第三篇 TransportationFor many years in the desert, camels were the only form of transportation. Before the age of modern trains, camels were used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe. Traders sometimes put togethe

45、r 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often used to carry as much as 400 pounds and it could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation used to be so important that camels were called “ships of the desert”.Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very short time. One engine can

46、pull as much weight as 135,000 camels. In addition, trains use special cars(車廂) for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars (棚車) carry heavy goods; stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.Air travel is also a modern means of transportation, but it has changed since the early twen

47、tieth century. The earliest planes were biplanes (雙翼飛機), with two sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots sat or lay on the wings in the open air. The plane engines sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip. It used to be impossible to fly in bad weather. In snow

48、 or in rain, the wings frequently became icy. Then the plane might go down.Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes. Monoplanes (單翼飛機) took the place of biplanes. Pilots flew inside of covered cabins. Still, even these planes were small. Only rich people used to be able t

49、o travel in airplanes.Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people. No place in the world is more than 24 hours away by jet. Further improvements have lowered the cost of flying, and they have made air travel much safer than it used to be. People never used to eat, sleep, or watch movies

50、on airplanes. Now these things are a usual part of air travel.41According to the passage, why were camels called “ships of the desert”?ABecause they were strong and patient.BBecause they were the only important means of transportation in the desert.CBecause they moved faster than modern trains.DBeca

51、use they could travel 20 miles a day.42Which of the following about the advantages of a train is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2?ATrains can use special cars for different purposes.BTrains run much faster than camels.CA train can carry much more goods than a camel.DA train can carry goods at much lower

52、 costs.43Biplanes were dangerous in bad weather becauseApilots had to fly them at top speed.Bthe wings were too soft for pilots to sit on.Ctheir engines were too hot to work.Dthey might go down if the wings became icy.44Which of the following led to the replacement of the biplane by the monoplane?AI

53、ts large wings.BIts small size.CIts high price.DThe progress in science.45Which of the following would best replace the title of the passage?AFrom Camels to Modern Jets.BThe Safest Means of Transportation.CCamels Ships of the Desert.DThe Role of Science in Transportation.第5部分：補全短文（第4650題，每題2分，共10分）閱
