文章主题：What is exploration 探索是什么

27.The writer refers to visitors to New York to illustrate the point that 作者提到纽约的观光者是为了说明什么观点。

这道题通过 New York这个词快速定位到段后面的部分，This questing nature of ours undoubtedly helped our species spread around the globe, just as it nowadays no doubt helps the last nomadic Penan maintain their existence in the depleted forests of Borneo, and a visitor negotiate the subways of New York.

这句话整体就是说探索的这种天性使我们是可以生存下来的物种，questing nature是关键词，这里容易选择C选项，但结合段的开头这一句，D项更是作者想要表达的观点，即探索是人类与生俱来的内在天性。

28.According to the second paragraph, what is the writer's view of explorers? 第2段中，作者对于探索者的观点是什么

直接定位到第2段。That, however, doesn't take away from the fact that we all have this enquiring instinct, even today；

however之后才是作者想要表达的观点，however之前是人们以前认为探索的这种行为是一些特定的人才会去做的，however之后作者认为我们都有探索的本能，这是事实；选C，即：按照一种每个人都有的冲动探索/行动。

29.The writer refers to a description of Egdon Heath to suggest that 作者提到埃格敦荒野来表明？

通过 Egdon Heath 定位到第3段开头，小说作者作者虚构出了一个故事场景来说明人物的渴望和恐惧 suggest the desires and fears of his characters。选C

30..In the fourth paragraph, the writer refers to 'a golden age' to suggest that 第4段，作者提到黄金年代来说明什么

定位到第4段We have studied only 5 percent of the specieswe know.We have scarcely mapped the ocean floors, and know even less about ourselves: we fully understand the workings of only 10 per cent of our brains. 这一段提到黄金时代说那个时候人们以为探索已经达到了顶峰，并且探索在减少。但其实我们对于人类和地球知道的还非常少，为了说明人们人们错误的以为我们不再需要探索，选D

31.In the sixth paragraph, when discussing the definition of exploration, the writer argues that,

第6段，讨论探索的定义，作者认为

6段开头 each definition is slightly different - and tends to reflect the field of endeavour of each pioneer.It was the same whoever I asked: theprominent historian would say exploration was a thing of the past, the cutting-edge scientist would say it was of the present.And so on。作者总体想表达每个人对于探索都有自己的理解，选A

32.In the last paragraph, the writer explains that he is interested in 最后一段，作者说他对什么感兴趣

看最后一段的开头和结尾，As a writer, I'm interested in the exploration of ideas. and this is what interests me: how a fresh interpretation, even of a well-travelled route, can give its readers new insights. 作者感兴趣的是一个很多人都走过的旅游路线，如何通过新的解读来带给读者新的视角，选B，cast new light 对应fresh interpretation

33-37 大部分题目都可以通过人名快速定位到第5段

37 Ran Fiennes ：'An explorer is someone who has done something that no human has done before - and also done something scientifically usefu ；

探索是做别人没做过的和有用的 对应 37 He defined exploration as being both unique and of value to others.

35题 Then Robin Hanbury-Tenison, a campaigner on behalf of remote so-called 'tribal' peoples, said, 'A traveller simply records information about some far-off world, and reports back; but an explorer changes the world

Robin Hanbury-Tenison代表一个遥远部落的人，对应35He worked for the benefit of specific groups of people.

33&36题 Wilfred Thesiger, who crossed Arabia's Empty Quarter in 1946, and belongs to aneraof unmechanised travel now lost to the rest of us, told me, 'If I'd gone across bycamelwhen I could have gone by car, it would have been a stunt.'To him, exploration meant bringing back information from a remote place regardless of any great self-discovery.

Wilfred Thesiger认为探索是带从遥远的地方带回来信息，而不是伟大的个人探索 ，对应 36 He did not consider learning about oneself an essential part of exploration.这段也提到了camle和car这两种交通方式，对应 33 He referred to the relevance of the form of transport used.

34题用排除法 可能是 Peter Fleming，对应文中第3段Explorer and travel writer Peter Fleming talks of the moment when the explorer returns to the existence he has left behind with his loved ones.

Peter Fleming 谈到探索者回到他离开的地方的时候对应 34He described feelings on coming back home after a long journey.

填空题39题比较难理解，对应最后一段种的：I've lived for months alone with isolated groups of people all around the world, even two uncontacted tribes. 作者说自己独自和全世界一些与世隔离的人群生活在一起数月，其中还有两个从未与外界接触的部落，也就是作者是他们个接触的人，答案为contacted
