问题     Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted(曲解)one.
    Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
    Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often______.
选项 A、from second-hand information
B、gathered from other sources than from its inhabitants
C、gained from the arguments about the country
D、different from what one had before the travel
答案D
解析 事实细节题。第二段最后两句说“我们通过这种方式获得的信息与我们通过其他途径获得的二手信息有多大的差别啊!我们经常发现原以为与我们很不一 样的外国人实际上却和我们差不多!”可见，一个人在旅游之前掌握的信息与旅游之后了解的实际情况有很大出入。故选D。A答案不够全面。
