Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Dear Edward,
How are you doing? I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru today. I've never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.
When I first got to Machu Picchu, I felt like I was walking in the sky. Even the clouds were just under my feet. Do you know how high Machu Picchu is? I was surprised that it was at about 2,500m. How could people build a city on such a high mountain? It must have been very difficult to move stones there.
Before the Europeans arrived, the Incas (印加人) were the last and the most modern society in the Andes (安第斯山). The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century. As a result, the Spanish never found Machu Picchu.
An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. For a long time before that, nobody even knew Machu Picchu was there. After Machu Picchu was found, it was called “The Lost City of the Incas”. It is still a mystery why and how Machu Picchu was left and forgotten by everyone.
I just had a wonderful day. Especially, I will never forget the “goodbye boy” who was a local boy dressed in traditional Inca clothes. When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (視線). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, “Goodbye, come back again soon!” Why don't you visit Machu Picchu someday? I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.
Yours truly,
Lynn

（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century.”可知，印加人在安第斯平原建造馬丘比丘的目的是想保護自己不受西班牙人的傷害，故答案選D。
（2）細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文中句子“An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911.”可知，美國探險家在1911年發(fā)現(xiàn)了馬丘比丘，并非十四、十五世紀，故C選項的描述錯誤。故答案選C。
（3）細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)短文最后的句子“When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (視線). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, “Goodbye, come back again soon!” 男孩向我們揮手告別，直到我們看不見為止。他也對我們喊了一些話，我想，這意味著，“再見，很快又回來�！�！可推斷男孩很友好，故答案選A。
（4）主旨大意題。文章第一段的句子“I've never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.”可知，作者寫這封信的目的就是想與好友愛德華分享這段美好的時光與感受，故答案選C。
