问题     Men have travelled ever since they first appeared on the earth.
    In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to【C1】______ new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more【C2】______ climates. They travelled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple【C3】______ such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.
    Being intelligent and creative, they soon【C4】______ easier ways of travelling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree【C5】______ and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.
    Later they travelled, not from necessity, but【C6】______ the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things, which is still the main【C7】______ why we travel today.
    Travelling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of【C8】______ provide us with comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go【C9】______ , you need a passport and a visa, tickets, luggage, and a hundred and one other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be【C10】______ .
【C10】
选项 A、injured
B、damaged
C、hurt
D、ruined
答案D
解析 A项injured是指"(人体)受到伤害"，因此用在本句里显然不合适。C项hurt指"受到危害，伤害"，也不能与主语journey搭配，B项damaged指"遭到破坏，毁坏"尤其具体的物体被毁坏，因此用在本句中不合适。正确答案应当是D项ruined"被毁坏"，它可指具体的东西被毁，如：The storm ruined the crops．"暴风雨毁坏了庄稼。"也可指抽象的东西如希望等被毁，如：His hopes were ruined．"他的希望破灭了。"因此这里应选D。
