People traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land. sea, orair. Hardly can anyone positively enjoy sitting in a train for mort than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. Reading is only a partial solution. for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night when you really wish to go to sleep you rarely manage to do so. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. Long car journey are even less pleasant. for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can. at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater pan of the journey is spent on narrow. bumpy roads which are crowded wich traffic. By comparison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food-always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not and you are likely to get seasick; no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice up to a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a ship.
Airplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and expensive. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. Traveling at a height of 30,000 feet. far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An airplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from the view. you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloudplains that stretch om for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled.

A) 坐火車時(shí)的無聊
B) 車輪令人疲憊的聲音
C) 旅程中的睡意
D)車廂中通風(fēng)不良的情況
[A]原文該段第4句表明閱讀是a partial solution,這表明閱讀有助于解決某個(gè)問題,而這個(gè)問題就是該段第2句和第3句提到的坐長(zhǎng)途火車會(huì)讓人覺得煩悶,由此可見,本題答案應(yīng)為選項(xiàng)A。
2.關(guān)于長(zhǎng)途汽車旅行,我們了解到什么信息?
A)很安生,因?yàn)槠囃ǔK俣群芸臁?/P>
B)很單調(diào),因?yàn)椴豢赡芸磿?/P>
C) 很辛苦,因?yàn)楦倦y以入睡。
D)很危險(xiǎn),因?yàn)榭偸翘嘬嚒?/P>
[B]首段第8句中的for引出一個(gè)原因從句,表明一種因果關(guān)系,而選項(xiàng)B表達(dá)的因果關(guān)系與此相同,因此為本題答案。原文該段第9句提到了safely at high speeds,但安全和高速之間并不存在因果關(guān)系,因此選項(xiàng)A不正確;選項(xiàng)C沒在原文提及,建項(xiàng)D的因果關(guān)系也不正確。
3. 海上旅行是最糟糕的旅行方式,當(dāng)_____________。
A) 天氣很差的時(shí)候
B) 旅行者時(shí)間很少的時(shí)候
C) 旅行者暈船的時(shí)候
D)海上不平靜的時(shí)候
[C]首段倒數(shù)第3句指出了兩種因果關(guān)系:第一,海洋不平靜會(huì)導(dǎo)致你暈船;第二,暈船會(huì)讓你覺得坐船是最糟糕的交通方式,由此可見,本題應(yīng)選C。在原文雖有提及weather,但與題干關(guān)系不大,故A不對(duì);時(shí)間的問題雖在下一句提及,但與題干不構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,故B不正確;D是因其暈船的原因,與題干之間的因果關(guān)系不直接,故也不對(duì)。
4. 坐飛機(jī)旅行與采用其他交通方式旅行的最大差別是什么?
A) 坐飛機(jī)不像其他交通工具那么累。
B) 坐飛機(jī)比其他的交通工具更有樂趣。
C) 坐飛機(jī)比其他的變通工具更貴。
D) 坐飛機(jī)時(shí)的睡眠時(shí)間可以比乘坐其他交通工具更長(zhǎng)。
[A]雖然文章沒有明顯地比較飛機(jī)與其他交通方式,但是從首段的內(nèi)容來看,可以知道當(dāng)作者描述其他交通方式時(shí),都提到它們很累人,而第2段末句中的fresh and uncrumpled表明坐飛機(jī)旅行不會(huì)讓旅行者覺得累,由此可見,本題應(yīng)選A。
5. 作者寫本文的目的是_______________________.
A) 介紹旅游的各種方式
B)指出旅游的最佳方式
C) 強(qiáng)調(diào)坐飛機(jī)旅游的好處
D)比較旅游時(shí)各種放松的方式
[A]作者在原文首句提到了三種交通方式,然后分別描述了三種方式各自的特點(diǎn),由此可見,作者寫本文是為了介紹三種不同的交通方式,故選A。作者只是描述三種交通方式的特點(diǎn),沒有突山哪一個(gè)是最好的,困此選項(xiàng)B不正確;選項(xiàng)C只是第2段的內(nèi)容,并非全文主題,因此也不是正確答案;本文的主題是交通方式,并非relaxing(放松的方式),因此選項(xiàng)D不正確。
