閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱題測驗的的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“Pilgrims” (1620年移居美國的英國清教徒)、 “Mayflower” (五月花號)、“historians”(歷史學家) 、“boat lovers”(船隻愛好者)，所以文章一定跟” 歷史學家與船隻愛好者都想知道更多關於1620年搭乘五月花號移居美國的英國清教徒的故事”有關。
| For generations, historians and boat lovers have been trying to | |
| learn more about the brave ship that brought the Pilgrims to America. | |
| The task is a difficult one because Mayflower was such a common | |
| name for ships back in early seventeenth-century England that there | |
| 5 | were at least twenty of them when the Pilgrims left for the New World. |
| An exact duplicate of the Mayflower has been built in England | |
| and given to the people of the US as a symbol of good will and | |
| common ancestry linking Britons and Americans. The Pilgrims’ | |
| Mayflower apparently was built originally as a fishing vessel. It seems | |
| 10 | to have been 90 feet long by 22 feet wide, displacing 180 tons of |
| water. The duplicate measures 90 feet by 26 feet, displaces 183 | |
| tons, and has a crew of 21, as did the original vessel. The new | |
| Mayflower has no motor but travels faster than the old boat. | |
| What happened to the historic boat? So far as can be told, the | |
| 15 | Mayflower went back to less colorful jobs and, not too many years |
| later, was scrapped. What happened to the beams, masts, and | |
| planking is questionable. In the English city of Abingdon, there is a | |
| Congregational church that contains two heavy wooden pillars. Some | |
| say these pillars are masts from the Mayflower. A barn in the English | |
| 20 | town of Jordans seemed to be built with old ship timbers. Marine |
| experts said these timbers were impregnated with salt and, if put | |
| together, would form a vessel 90 feet by 22 beet. The man who | |
| owned the farm when the peculiar barn was built was a relative of the | |
| man who appraised the Mayflower when it was scrapped. | |
| 25 | So the original Mayflower may still be doing service ashore while |
| her duplicate sails the seas again. |
( ) 1. A long search was made for the Pilgrims’ boat because it _____.
(A) contained valuable materials (B) might still do sea service
(C) has historical importance (D) would link Great Britain and America
