About 500 years ago, people learned about the truth. Captain Magellan sailed(航行) his ships west. But he came back home from the east. He sailed around the Earth. Captain Cook also sailed west and came home from the east. Both of the captains drew maps on their trips. These maps helped other people a lot. And then people could make better maps because they learned more and more about the world. Before space travel began, our maps already(已经) looked really good.

People thought the Earth in a different way after they travelled into space. 4. What is the best title(标题) of this passage? A. How to Make Maps B. Maps of the Earth C. History of the Earth D. History of Map-making 【答案】BCBD 【解析】文章主要讲述人类在几百年前开始绘制地图，那时人们对地球了解不多，所以绘制有错误，人们不相信地球是圆的，直到两位船长从西方出发结果从东方回来，说明地球是圆的。现如今，人们已经上了太空，在太空中能更好的绘制地图。 1.细节理解题。从because people didn’t know much about the world then。可知答案选B。 2.推理判断题。从Captain Magellan sailed(航行) his ships west. But he came back home from the east. He sailed around the Earth.从西方出发，东方回来，说明地球是圆的。 3．细节理解题。从太空拍照对地球更加了解，所以绘制地图更精准。 4.主旨大意题。本文讲述地图发展史。从航海家绘制的简易地图到卫星拍摄的地图。可知地图随着人类的认知不断深入而更加精准。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 4 The Earth Section 1 Reading 一、单项选择 1.
