baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being processed at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.no wonder, then, that the modern highspeed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines. man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. the working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. the holidaymaker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thingor so we are told. perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. they could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.71. what does the writer try to express in paragraph 1? a. travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages. b. the speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short. c. the freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams. d. man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.72. how does the writer support the underlined statement in paragraph 2? a. by giving instructions. b. by analyzing cause and effect. c. by following the order of time. d. by giving examples.73. according to paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern highspeed trains because_. a. they pay less for the tickets b. they feel safer during the travel c. they can enjoy higher speed of travel d. they dont have to waste time being processed74. what does the last sentence of the passage mean? a. they could enjoy free and relaxing travel. b. they needed the clock to tell the time. c. they preferred traveling on horseback. d. they could travel with their master.75. what is the main idea of the passage? a. air travel benefits people and industries. b. train travel has some advantages over air travel. c. great changes have taken place in modern travel.d. the high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.【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“has turned the countries into a series of villages. distances between them appear no greater tojet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other”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 “then there is the time spent being processed at a modern airport ” 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。阅读理解dear friend, the recent success of childrens books has made the general public aware that theres a huge market out there. and theres a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of childrens books bought each year . plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers. who are these needed writers? theyre ordinary folks like you and me. but am i good enough? i was once where you might be now. my thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and i didnt know where to turn for help. then, i accepted a free offer from the institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration i needed. the promise that paid off the institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: you will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course. i really didnt expect any publication before i finished the course, but that happened. i sold three stories. and i soon discovered that was not unusual at the institute. since graduation, i have authored 34 nationally published childrens books and over 300 stories and articles. free test and b
