Question

16．One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind．But does this always happen？
    When an acquaintance of mine returned from France，I asked him how he liked it．"The breakfasts were terrible．"he said，"No bacon or kippers．I had fried eggs and chips，but it was quiet a business getting them to make them．"Obviously travel had not broadened his mind．He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints．
    All nationalities，in all foreign countries，can be found judging what they see，hear，taste and smell according to their own habits and customs．People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily．That is because their minds have already been broadened before they start travelling．
    Physical differences are not so difficult to be adapted to as mental ones．In Indonesia，the left hand is considered unclean．When a foreigner offers or takes something with his left hand，the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom，but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with．
There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen．If they are Asians，they are accused of having become"Westernized"，and if they are Europeans，people say they have"gone native"．
Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed m making people tolerate the habits and customs of others without abandoning their own．The criterion for judging a foreigner could be"Does he try to be polite and considerate to others？"instead of"Is he like me？

Answer 1

分析 人为何要旅游？有人是为了开阔心胸，为了增长见识，为了实现"读万卷书，行万里路"的理想．但也有很多人去旅游似乎只为追逐时尚．他们名为"旅游使人心胸开阔"，实 为日后的吹虚积攒谈资．深居城市并受商业气息侵蚀的人容易变得越来越浅薄，偶尔发现 不一样的事物就大惊小怪，进而"排除异己"．他们算是"少见多怪"之人．真正有学问有 文化的人一般更具有包容性，他们常常"见怪不怪"．这是两种不同的境界．

解答 66．C．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"One often hears it said that travel broadens the mind．But does this always happen"可知作者提到他的熟人的旅行显示旅行并不总是能开阔一个人的心灵；故选C．
67．A．细节理解题．根据文章第三段"People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to adapt and tolerate all easily"可知受过良好教育的人是很容易适应国外的风俗习惯；故选A．
68．D．词义猜测题．根据文章第四段"the Indonesian may explain this action as arising from a difference in custom，but the deep prejudice against the use of the left hand will not be so easilydone away with"印尼可能解释这一动作是由于习惯上的差异，但对左手使用深层偏见不会轻易被带走，可知词义为摆脱；故选D．
69．B．细节理解题．根据文章第五段"There are some travelers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they get the severe criticisms of their more stubborn fellow-countrymen"可知那些成功地适应自己的人有时会批判文化；故选B．
70．B．推理判断题．根据文章第二段"Obviously travel had not broadened his mind．He had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoints"可知旅行开阔心灵有时没有意义；故选B．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
