Future history books might record that we were robbed of the use of our eyes ,In our hurry

Future history books might record that we were robbed of the use of our eyes ,In our hurry to get from one place to another, we fail to see anything on the way, Air travel gives you a bird’s –eye view of the world ---or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way, When you travel by car or train , you are moving so quickly that you do not see the countryside clearly , Car drivers are forever thinking about going on and on; they never want to stop, Is it the great motorways ,that attract them, or what? And as for sea travel ,it hardly deserves mention ,It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song：’I joined the navy to see the world ,and what did I see? I saw the sea’. You mention the place names in the world like EI Dorado, Kabul and someone is sure to say‘I’ve been there’meaning ,‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.’
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing :you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place, But actual arrival ,when it is achieved , is meaningless , You want to move on again . By traveling like this, you suspend （中止）all experience; the present stops being a reality：you might just as well be dead.
The traveler on foot, on the other hand , lives constantly in the present, For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes, He experiences, the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body, At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness, Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.

(答案→)A 解析：文章主要比较了两种旅行方式，批判了快速旅行剥夺我们体验和享受的机会，而步行的旅者才是真正体会了旅行的意义。【小题1】词义理解题。根据上下文，这句话说的是，你的视野可能会更小如果机翼遮住了视线，所以应该选择A【小题2】主旨大意题。这题询问作者对快速旅者的看法，从In our hurry to get from one place to another, we fail to see anything on the way这句话可以看出他认为这些旅者没能用心观察景物，所以选C【小题3】细节题。根据文章第二段the present means nothing :you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place，可知这是因为人们只是期待着前往另一个地方，所以选B【小题4】主旨大意题。作者在文中提倡步行或是慢速旅行，可知他会提倡我们去徒步爬山，所以选A【小题5】标题选择题。最能揭示文章主旨的应该是true travelling，即慢速旅行才是真正的旅行，所以选D
