If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call’ remembered history’. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ______ A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable
B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions
D. Where there are no written records, there is no history

B.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D.the people there did not know how to write
“Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when __________ .A.it is written down
B.no written account is available
C.it proves to be true
D.people are interested in it
The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ___________ .A.kept a written record of every past event
B.not burnt their written records in wars
C.told exact stories of the most important happenings
D.made more songs and dances

参考解答
问题 1 答案解析:D
综合判断题。见原文第三段第一句话“evenifthepeoplecannotwrite,theymayknowsomethingofthepast”,即使没有文字记录,人们也可以了解过去的历史,即通过口头传授,很明显选项D是与原文这个观点不一致的,故D是应选答案。
问题 2 答案解析:D
细节题。见原文第二段最后一句话“weknowalmostnothingaboutthepeoplewholivedeven200yearsagoincentralAfrica,becausetheyhadnotlearnedtowrite”,对于中非200年的历史我们几乎一无所知,那是因为中非地区的人不会书写,所以D是正确答案。
问题 3 答案解析:B
细节题。见原文最后一句话“wheretherearenowrittenrecords,suchspokenstoriesareoftenveryhelpful”,但没有文字记录的时候,这些口头流传的故事就很有帮助,故选项B符合原文。
问题 4 答案解析:A
综合推理题。根据全文大意,作者认为文字记录是我们了解历史最有价值的资料,所以如果古人对每一件事都以文字记录下来,我们对历史将了解得更多,所以选项A最接近文意。
问题 5 答案解析:D
词义理解题。可以根据上下文判断词义。原文第三段提到,人们从老一辈人那儿听说,再以歌唱、舞蹈和故事的形式流传下去,这就称为“rememberedhistory”。所以选项D是正确答案。
问题 6 答案解析:D
问题 7 答案解析:D
