wonders.D.Modern

minds.答案

C解析

细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“In

a

landscape

that

values

...which

still

puzzle

the

modern

mind.”及第二段可知,在人们追求便利和短时间爆火的今天,Hughes的作品专注于探索发现古代帝王之谜,实属难能可贵。她带领我们穿越古代七大奇迹,不仅仅是宏伟的建筑,而且关注其中相关的人物。故选C项。2.What

D解析

推理判断题。根据最后一段描述可知,经过精心调查研究和引证,Hughes也实地去了我们不太了解的地方,这些第一手的资料又给本来单调的事实性叙述增添了生动的元素。详述穿越金字塔通道时夜明砂的难闻气味,为找到罗德岛太阳神巨像位置而进行一系列的徒步探索,从中可以想象Hughes不是待在图书馆品味传奇故事。由此可推断,Hughes更注重亲身体验。故选D项。3.What’s
