Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了美國的生活方式，美國人不喜歡停留在一個地方，總是到處旅游，大多數(shù)美國人喜歡在他們的國家的邊境內(nèi)旅行，因為沒有語言障礙，并且國內(nèi)設(shè)置了很多的旅游景點．

解答 71．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文"Later，settlers moved west to develop these new areas"，后來，殖民者移居西部開發(fā)這些新的地區(qū)，可知探險家和商人旅行至未知的西部地區(qū)；故選C．
72．F．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文"Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees，and people often use that time to travel"，很多公司為員工提供每年一次的假期，人們通常會利用這段時間去旅行，可知他們的工作甚至可能要求他們定期出差；故選F．
73．G．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文"Some travel in vehicles to camp out in comfort while others"rough it"by sleeping in tents"，有人在房車里盡享旅行露營的舒適而其他"粗糙"的人則睡帳篷，可知對于喜歡冒險的人，在戶外野營是有吸引力的；故選G．
74．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文"Why？For one thing，it's cheaper than traveling abroad and there's no language problem"，為什么呢？一方面，它比出國旅游更便宜，也沒有語言問題，可知前面為大多數(shù)美國人喜歡在他們的國家的邊境內(nèi)旅行；故選B．
75．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文"America offers plenty of tourist attractions"，美國的旅游景點很多，可知后文是不同的旅游景點，因此為主要城市為游客提供大量的城市美食；故選D．

點評 考察學(xué)生的推理判斷能力和聯(lián)系上下文的能力，在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．此類的填空題一定要聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)容加上自己的理解，再作出正確的判斷．
