5　No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18th century Europe, young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education. Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media. People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.

　　　A. But why do people like traveling so much?

　　B. Throughout history, most travel was not for pleasure.

　　C. So they travel to a lake for a swim or a park for a bike.

　　D. The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel.

　　E. Wealthy Romans made trips to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games.

　　F. The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world.

　　G. Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures.

　　【文章大意】本文主要解释了旅游的发展过程。首先从旅游开始的时候是人们获取食物的方法, 到人们旅游为了乐趣。同时也解释了人们喜欢旅游的原因。

　　1. 【解析】选B。上下文逻辑联系题。根据空格后面的People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies. 可知人们旅游是为了寻找食物、住处和逃离敌人, 这与B中的most travel was not for pleasure“大部分旅游不是为了快乐”一致。
