    Which country does Easter Island belong to ? A.Britain. B.Holland. C.Portugal. D.Chile. 答案 56.A 57.C 58.D 第6题(2000年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷) Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men.in which he looked millions of years ahead.He told of different men and of strange civilisations.broken up by long“dark ages in between.In his view.what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men.In 2.000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. However.most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted.Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years.But the next hundred?The next thousand?The next million?That’s much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago.how could they even begin to picture modern life?Yet to men of 50,000 years from now.we may seem as primitivein our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us.Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels.or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe.These words.which I have just made up.have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of. So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future?Here are two reasons.Frist.unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history.we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are.If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedyor quarrelsome.our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us. Second.by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future.we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves.For example.if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming.we can think of trying it now.So set your imagination free when you think about the future. 【查看更多】

    Tristan da Cunha, a 38 –square –mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest, St. Helena, and I, 950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.
    Coming in a close second –and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land –is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.
    The mountainous 64 –square –mile island was settled around the 5th century，supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.
    On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.
