We are upset if a plane
37、 arrives an hour late. Our ancestors werent upset if an April ship didnt show up until June. They began to worry in July and were often happy when it showed up in August. When a long-distance ship finally did get to the port, the whole city became busy and excited. Businessmen hurried down to check
38、the goods they had ordered. The ship would probably stay in port for at least three days, often a week, to take on businessmen, give the sailors a rest, find out about the latest news, weather conditions, and so on. Travel time could only be approximate (近似的 ). One never knew when the winds would be
39、 good. So even though “average(平均的 ) sailing time” was given, time could change considerably, shortening the voyage (travel by sea) by up to 25% or putting it off by up to 500% or more! The average run from England to Boston was about a month and a half, but there were also voyages of three months.
40、One voyage in 1640 lasted six months! Travel time is not the same in both directions, due to the winds and currents. This is especially true in the Caribbean, where winds are from the southeast the entire year. Ships sailing west across the Atlantic spend longer than ships sailing east, and the cont

A the movement of water B the movement of winds C direction of the traveling ship D travel time of ships 【小题 4】 What is the d
44、ifference between a modern voyage timetable and the one from the 17th or 18th century A There were no exact timetables for traveling both in ancient and modern times. B Travel time was the same in both directions in ancient times while the modern one was not. C The modern voyage timetable is more ex
45、act than the ancient one. D The modern voyage timetable is only approximate while the ancient one was not. 【小题 5】 Why did the ships sailing west spend longer than ships sailing east in Caribbean A Because of the southeast winds the entire year. B Because sailors didnt know when the winds blew. C Bec
46、ause travel time was not affected by wind. D Because sometimes the ship was held off by the wind. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 C 【小题 5】 A Robert Altmans films were different from the usual methods of Hollywood movie storytelling. In the 1940s, he started his film career directing industrial
47、 movies in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. Later, he moved to Hollywood, California, to make television shows. His first major film, MASH, was released in 1970. It tells about a group of American medical workers in an army hospital in Korea during the Korean War in the 1950s. The movie was a
48、great success. It questioned the rules of the military in a way that was sharply funny and clever. Robert Altman continued to make movies with strong political and social points. His next major movie, Nashville, came out in 1975. This movie provides a complex (not simple) look at changes in the country music industry. Robert Altmans movies have a very special style. Often, his actors speak so naturally that it is hard to believe they are performing. Altman liked his actors to be free to make up their own lines. Altman wanted to copy the way p
