Ancient and Modern Ways to Communicate
主题:传统故事屋 词数:114 建议用时:6分钟 语篇类型:说明文
Long long ago, people in ancient China had special ways to communicate with others far away. Some sent letters by wild geese(大雁). Soldiers used smoke from fires to tell others danger was coming. There is also a sweet myth: Niulang and Zhinv meet on a magpie bridge(鹊桥)every year to talk to each other.
Now we have much better ways to communicate. We can call friends far away with mobile phones. We can send messages, share pictures and have video calls on the Internet, too. We don’t need to wait for months to hear from our loved ones.
Communication is getting easier and faster now. These changes show how much our life is improving!

答案及解析
答案:1.A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. A
解析:
1.A 【解析】根据原文第一段内容"Some sent letters by wild geese."可知,中国古代人会用鸿雁传递信件。B选项喜鹊、C选项烽火、D选项手机均不符合古代人送信的方式,因此选A。
2.C 【解析】根据原文第一段内容"Soldiers used smoke from fires to tell others danger was coming."可知,古代士兵会用烽火告知同伴危险来临。A选项鸿雁传信、B选项鹊桥、D选项视频通话均不符合士兵传递危险信号的场景,因此选C。
3.B 【解析】根据原文第一段内容"Niulang and Zhinv meet on a magpie bridge every year to talk to each other."可知,牛郎织女每年会在鹊桥上相会。A选项石桥、C选项木桥、D选项烟桥均不符合神话描述,因此选B。
4.D 【解析】根据原文第二段内容"We can send messages, share pictures and have video calls on the Internet, too."可知,互联网支持发信息、分享图片、打视频电话三种功能。D选项“用鸿雁送信”是古代通讯方式,无法在互联网上实现,因此选D。
5.A 【解析】全文先介绍了古代的几种通讯方式,又介绍了现代的通讯方式,核心围绕通讯方式的变化展开。B选项牛郎织女的故事只是文中提到的部分内容,C选项手机使用方法、D选项如何制造烽火全文均未提及,因此选A。
短文翻译
古今通讯方式
很久很久以前,古代中国人有不少和远方的人联络的特殊方法:有些人会托大雁捎信,士兵们会用烽火冒出的烟雾通知同伴危险来临。还有一个美好的神话:牛郎和织女每年都会在鹊桥上相会,和彼此聊天说话。
现在我们有了更便捷的通讯方式:我们可以用手机给远方的朋友打电话,也可以在互联网上发消息、分享照片、打视频电话,再也不需要等好几个月才能收到亲友的音讯。
如今通讯变得越来越方便、越来越快捷,这些变化也展现出我们的生活进步有多大!
