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】______ .
【C3】
选项 A、weapons
B、tools
C、methods
D、ways
答案A
解析 本句涉及他们用什么东西保护自己。根据常识，空格后的例子木棍、石条，它们都不是方法，因此C项methods(方法)和D项ways(方式、方法)都不正确。从句意看，木棍、石条这些东西应当是作为武器(weapons)使用，而不是作为工具(tools)，所以正确答案应选A。
