CHRONOLOGICA

——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History

DID YOU KNOW…

In 105 AD paper was invented in China?

When Columbus discovered the New World?

The British Museum opened in 1759?


CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time, from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet. Along the way are tales of kings and queens, hot air balloons…and monkeys in space.

Travel through 100 of the most unbelievable years in world history and learn why being a Roman Emperor wasn’t always as good as it sounds, how the Hundred Years’ War didn’t actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record.

CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history, beautifully illustrated and full of unbelievable facts. While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great, this book also gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individuals including the explorer Mungo Park and sculptor Gutzon Borglum.

This complete but brief historical collection is certain to entertain readers young and old, and guaranteed to present even the biggest history lover with something new!

【1】What is CHRONOLOGICA according to the next?

A. A biography. B. A travel guide.

C. A history book. D. A science fiction.

【2】How does the writer recommend CHRONOLOGICA to readers?

A. By giving details of its collection.

B. By introducing some of its contents.

C. By telling stories at the beginning.

D. By comparing it with other books.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了歷史書CHRONOLOGICA的內(nèi)容、特點(diǎn)、閱讀對象等。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)根據(jù)第三段第二句While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great, this book also gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individuals including the explorer Munge Park and scultor Gulzon Borglum.和第四段第五行“this book also gives an account of the lives…”可判斷“Chronologica”是本書：文章副標(biāo)題“The Unbelievable Years that Defined History”（難以置信的定義歷史的年份）、第四段第一句“CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history（這一完整卻簡潔的歷史集）”等都可看出這本書與歷史有關(guān)可知，CHRONOLOGICA是一本歷史書，故選C項。

【2】B寫作方法題。寫作方法題。通讀全文可知，本文首段介紹該書內(nèi)容，接著說明該書的時間跨度，其中含有對羅馬皇帝等內(nèi)容的介紹，據(jù)此可知，該書是通過介紹內(nèi)容的方法向讀者推薦的。故B項正確。
