CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history, beautifully illustrated and full of unbelievable facts.

【2】B

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了歷史書CHRONOLOGICA的內(nèi)容、特點(diǎn)、閱讀對象等。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)根據(jù)第三段第二句While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great, this book also gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individuals including the explorer Munge Park and scultor Gulzon Borglum.和第四段第五行“this book also gives an account of the lives…”可判斷“Chronologica”是本書：文章副標(biāo)題“The Unbelievable Years that Defined History”（難以置信的定義歷史的年份）、第四段第一句“CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history（這一完整卻簡潔的歷史集）”等都可看出這本書與歷史有關(guān)可知，CHRONOLOGICA是一本歷史書，故選C項(xiàng)。
