Answer 1

分析 馬可波羅來自意大利威尼斯，1271年，十七歲的時候，馬克和他的爸爸和叔叔旅行去中國．如今人們經(jīng)常去世界不同的地方旅行，但是那時候人們從歐洲到中國是非常艱難的．在三年半后，波羅一家人于1275年到達中國．
當(dāng)他在中國的時候，馬可波羅為中國的皇帝忽必烈效勞，他能學(xué)到和經(jīng)歷到對于歐洲人新鮮的事物．在他的日記，他寫道："忽必烈的皇宮是我見過最大的．首都的街道是那么的直那么的寬．"紙質(zhì)的錢讓他很驚奇，那時在西方還沒使用過．房子用黑色的石頭取暖，燒起來像木頭．這些石頭是煤，那時候大多數(shù)歐洲人幾乎不知道．
在中國17年后，1292年馬可和家人回到了威尼斯，在他回家后，馬可完成了有關(guān)他旅行的書，里面全是他在中國的精彩的經(jīng)歷．

73．答案：A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Marco Polo worked for Kublai Khan，the emperor（皇帝）of China是為中國皇帝工作，故選A．
74．答案：B．標題判斷題．本文說的是馬可波羅在中國的事情，在中國為忽必烈效勞，在中國待了十幾年，經(jīng)歷了好多新鮮事物，故選B．
