[听力原文]14-17 Isn't it amazing how small the world has become in recent years Of course, the physical size hasn't changed, but the world seems much smaller than it did a few hundred years ago. That's because of our improved ability to visit faraway places, contact one another, and instantly learn what goes on in other places. A thousand years ago, people rarely left their town or village. Trips to nearby areas were made on foot or horseback, and there were fears of wild animals, bandits, and bad weather. Trips abroad were almost impossible for all but the richest and most powerful people. Communications were also limited, as it took weeks or even months to send letters long distances. About 150 years ago, train travel made trips hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away possible. Also, with the invention of the telegraph, messages could be sent long distances at a low price. Many barriers of distance and communication were starting to fall. In the 20th century, inventions such as the automobile, airplane, telephone, and television changed people's lives greatly. People could travel across a city in a few minutes or across the world in a few hours. Televisions allowed people to witness important events while they took place. Computers and the Internet let people send letters instantly, access huge amounts of information, and make new friends around the world. As local communities continue to link together to form the global community, there will surely be many new tools and methods that make the world seem even smaller. 本题测试对主要内容的理解能力。根据文中的相关内容，可以推测选项A、B、C都是正确的，因此采取排除法，可以得到正确答案为D。 bandit n．强盗 barrier n．(阻碍通行的)障碍物，栅栏，屏障 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
