Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders.
“ In my opinion,” the first man said, “ the Egyptian pyramids are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn’t have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
“ I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful,” the second man said, “ But I don’t think they’re the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “ What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, “ Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos(保溫瓶).”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “ A thermos?” they exclaimed(大聲說), “ But that’s a simple thing.”
“ Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said, “ in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?”

解析試題分析：
【小題1】文章第一段Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders. wonder奇跡（n.）相當(dāng)于 wonderful things，故選D。
【小題2】第二段中第一個男人認為是金字塔，第三段中第二個男人認為是電腦，第五段第三個男人認為是保溫瓶，所以題中所問三個人不能在最偉大的奇跡上意見統(tǒng)一的原因是他們有不同的主意，故選B。
【小題3】第二段第三行Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools.故選C。
【小題4】文章最后兩行How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?保溫杯冬天保暖，夏天保持低溫。第三個人問“保溫杯怎么知道是冬天還是夏天呢？”這是他覺得保溫杯神奇的原因。故選C
【小題5】第三個男人以為保溫杯能夠自己根據(jù)季節(jié)來調(diào)節(jié)溫度，而不知道真正的原因，所以說他不是很聰明。故選B。
考點：三個男人有關(guān)世界上最偉大的奇跡的對話，了解三人不同意見的原因。
點評：本文需要先讀懂文章后再做題目，在每個人的話中找到他們各自的觀點及給出的理由，這樣就迎刃而解了。而最后一個男人比較不聰明，因為他認為保溫杯是最偉大的奇跡，因為他以為保溫杯可以根據(jù)季節(jié)自行調(diào)節(jié)溫度。

A
Several years ago，a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker，another owned one of the largest companies in the world，and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important. ”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country，and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. ”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”
“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you. ‘ ”

On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to use the box to change the weight of the balloon. The three people were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were very cold and they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London!
1.Where did they start their travel on Nov.18th, 1908?
2.What was the metal box used for?
3. Why did they have to drop some whole bags of sand during the travel?
4. How long did they travel in the end?
5.
What do you think of the three people and their travel? (請自擬一句話作答)
