The Only Way to Travel is on Foot
精讀原文：
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeledby anthropologists. Descriptions like 'PalaeolithicMan', 'Neolithic Man', etc., neatly sum up wholeperiods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentiethcentury, they will surely choose the label'Legless Man'. Histories of the time will go somethinglike this: 'in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women movedabout in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all largebuildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of thattime because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs evenwhen they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of everyhuge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.'
The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In ourhurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel givesyou a bird's-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get inyour way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantlysmears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go onand on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for seatravel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: 'Ijoined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.' The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I've been there.'You mention the remotest, mostevocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say'I've been there'– meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhereelse. '
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the futurebecause you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. Butactual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling likethis, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well bedead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him travelingand arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. Heexperiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the endof his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleepwill be his: the just reward of all true travellers.

【答案詳解】
1.A 人們忘了用腳。答案在第一段：人類(lèi)學(xué)家把以往年代的人們分別標(biāo)上舊石器時(shí)代、新石器時(shí) 代人，等等。干脆利落地總結(jié)了一個(gè)時(shí)期。當(dāng)他們轉(zhuǎn)向20 世紀(jì)，他們肯定會(huì)標(biāo)上“無(wú)腳的人”。 因?yàn)樵?0 世紀(jì)，人們忘了如何用腳走路。男人女人早年外出就坐車(chē)、公共汽車(chē)、火車(chē)。大樓里 由電梯、自動(dòng)扶梯，不需要人們走路。即使度假期間，他們也不用腳。他們筑有纜車(chē)道、滑雪載 車(chē)和路直通山頂。所有的風(fēng)景旅游區(qū)都有大型的汽車(chē)停車(chē)場(chǎng)。 B 人們喜歡汽車(chē)、公交車(chē)、火車(chē)等。 C 電梯、自動(dòng)扶梯制止人們走路。 D 有許多交通運(yùn)輸工 具。
2.A 人們的注意力在未來(lái)。見(jiàn)最后一段第一句話(huà)：當(dāng)你高速旅行，現(xiàn)在等于零，你主要生活在未 來(lái)，因?yàn)槟愦蟛糠謺r(shí)間盯在前面到達(dá)的某個(gè)地方。真到了，又沒(méi)有意義了，你還要再向前進(jìn)。 B 是一種歡樂(lè)。 C 滿(mǎn)足司機(jī)強(qiáng)烈的渴望。第二段中提及死機(jī)醉心于開(kāi)車(chē)、不停車(chē)但不是快速 前進(jìn)著眼于未來(lái)。 D 生活的需要。這一條在第一段中提及這種情況是因?yàn)樗麄兡钱惓５纳罘?法強(qiáng)加給時(shí)代的居民。這是指不用腳走路，而用一切代步器――交通運(yùn)輸工具，不是開(kāi)快車(chē)。
3.C 人們?cè)诼眯型局惺裁炊家?jiàn)不到。答案在第二段，由一地轉(zhuǎn)向另一地，路上你什么都沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到。 乘飛機(jī)你只能俯視世界，火車(chē)，汽車(chē)，只見(jiàn)外界朦朧景象掠過(guò)窗子。海上旅游，只見(jiàn)到海。“我 到過(guò)那里”此話(huà)含義就是“我以一小時(shí)一百英里在去某某地方時(shí)經(jīng)過(guò)那里”。正因?yàn)槿绱�，作�?指出將來(lái)的歷史書(shū)上會(huì)記錄下：我們被剝奪了眼睛的應(yīng)用。 A 人們不愿用眼睛。 B 在高速旅行中，眼睛沒(méi)有用了。 D 旅行中，人們想睡覺(jué)。
4.D 旅行的最佳方式是走路。文章第一段、第二段分別講述了旅行可不用腳、不用眼等情況。第 三段，在講述了人們只知向前向前，一切經(jīng)歷都停滯，現(xiàn)實(shí)不再是現(xiàn)實(shí)，還不如死的好。而用腳 走路的旅行者總是生活再現(xiàn)實(shí)，對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)旅行和到達(dá)是一回事，他一步一步走到某地，他用眼睛、 耳朵，以至整個(gè)身體去體驗(yàn)現(xiàn)在時(shí)刻、旅行終點(diǎn)，他感到全身舒坦愉悅的疲勞，美美享受滿(mǎn)足的 酣睡;一切真正旅行者的真實(shí)報(bào)償。這一段就是作者寫(xiě)文章的目的――走路是旅行的最佳方式。 A 腳變得軟弱無(wú)力。 B 現(xiàn)代交通工具把世界變小。 C 沒(méi)有必要用眼睛。
5.C 從高出向下看的景致：俯視。 A 用鳥(niǎo)的眼睛看景點(diǎn)。 B 鳥(niǎo)在看美景。 D 風(fēng)景點(diǎn)。

【難句解析】
The only way to travel is on foot
旅游的唯一方法是走路
Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world – or even if the wing of the aircraft happensto get in your way.
飛機(jī)旅行，你只可俯視世界――如果機(jī)翼碰巧擋住了你的視線(xiàn)，就看得更少了。
When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the country-side constantly smears thewindows.
如果乘車(chē)或火車(chē)旅行，郊外模糊朦朧的景象不斷地掠過(guò)窗口。
【寫(xiě)作方法與文章大意】
文章以因果寫(xiě)作方法，寫(xiě)出了由于種種現(xiàn)代化交通設(shè)施、人們不需用腳走路，甚至也不需要用眼 看景，出門(mén)就坐汽車(chē)、公交車(chē)、地鐵、飛機(jī)……，車(chē)、機(jī)速度飛快，外邊的景物難以看清，最終 導(dǎo)致人們忘記用腳、用眼成為“無(wú)腳之人”。一切都經(jīng)歷不到。作者建議最佳的旅游方法是徒步―― 經(jīng)歷現(xiàn)實(shí)。
