【要点综述】本文为议论文。
主要就当今一些人追求有速度的旅游提出了自己的看法,作者建议人们不妨不坐飞机,改乘其他交通工具,好好欣赏人生的旅途。
71.B 主旨大意题。
由第一段的一些信息,例如“…hasturnedthecountriesintoaseriesofvillages.Distancesbetweenthemappearnogreaterto…Jetplanesflypeoplefromoneendoftheearthtotheother…”可知第一段主要是想表达现代旅游的速度使旅途变得相当快。
72.D 推理判断题。
画线词后面介绍了乘船旅游的悠然自在以及坐火车旅游的迷人;
同时,还列举了坐飞机的缺点,由此可知作者主要通过举例的方法来支持画线句的观点。
73.D 细节理解题。
本段中“Thenthereisthetimespentbeing‘processed’atamodernairport…”的内容可知转向坐高铁是因为他们没有必要浪费时间走到机场的“路程”。
74.A 细节理解题。
本文的最后一句提到,他们能按照自己的意愿来旅游,时钟不是他们的主人,言外之意就是,他们能不受时间的限制,享受自由的旅游,故选A项。
75.D 主旨大意题。
本文第一段提到了飞机旅途之快,第二、三段提到了飞机旅途不能欣赏其旅程以及要走到机场这一路程,第四段提到了一些人还得依靠飞机旅途,但也提到这种方式不能让人充分享受旅途的自由,综观全文可知本文主要讲述了飞机旅途的得与失。
