When did the Polos arrive in China?
Marco Polo was the first European to cross the entire continent of Asia and leave a record of his travels. He was born in Venice in 1254, the son of Niecolo Polo, an important Venetian merchant. In 1271, Niccolo and Marco began a four-year journey across the moutains and deserts of Asia that ended at the Summer Palace of the Mongol emperor, Kublai Khan. The emperor received the travellers with great hospitality, and he made Marco one of his honored attendants. The Polos spent seventeen years in China, and Marco carried out many missions for the emperor in distant parts of the empire.
The Polos left China in 1292, Kublai Khan was then a very old man, and the Polos afraid that jealous court officials would harm them when the emperor died. They learned that a princess was going to travel to Persia, and they obtained Kublai Khan’s permission to travel with her. The expedition traveled to Persia by ship, and the Polos traveled from there to Venice. They arrived there in 1295, having been away for twenty-four years.
A few years later, Marco was taken prisoner in sea battle between Venice and Genoa. While he was in prison, he met a writer, a recorder of his travels. He was released from prison and returned to Venice where he died in 1324.

B、In 1274
C、In 1275
D、In 1292
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题。回答这类有关数字、年代的问题,考生切记不要轻易选择。因为一般来说,原文中会出现好几个类似的年代或者数字,这样的话就需要考生在理解的基础上进行辨别,有的可能还需要进行一些推理。如本题,原文中有“In 1271,Niccolo and Marco began a four-year journey across the moutains and deserts of Asia that ended at the Summer Palace of the Mongol emperor”。根据后面元朝皇帝Kublai Khan (忽必烈)接待的情况,我们可以知道Niccolo 和Marco 从1271年开始,经过4年的旅程到达了元朝,那么题目问“When did the Polos arrived in China?”很明显答案是1275.
