　　Pirates Separating Fact from Fiction

　　Paragraph 1

　　Many of these ideas about pirates are quite different from the facts.For example, it would be unlikely that pirates would actually bury treasure.Historically,pirates were more likely to steal goods such as food, medical supplies or clothingthan chests full of gold, and thesewould either be used immediately or sold as soon as possible.Also, the skull and cross bone flag known as the JollyRoger was not in common use amongst pirates.The flag typically used by pirates were usuallyless violentthan most popular stories suggest. Still, if you did chance upon some pirates in the middle of the ocean,you’dprobably want your boat to be quicker than theirs!

　　Paragraph 2

　　Pirates in theCaribbeanfrom the 1680s to the 1720s,a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy, have captured the popular imagination in books, songs and movies. However, the Caribbean was not the only or even the first place to have pirates. Pirates have been around for as long as boats with something worth stealing have sailed the seas. Afterall,a sea pirate is by definition a person aboard a private boat who commits criminal acts targeted at another person or their property on board.

　　Paragraph 3

　　The earliest reports of pirates in Europe come from the 13thcenturyBCaround the Mediterranean Sea.There is also evidence of piracy in India, according to the ancient Vedic scripts.During the early 1800s, pirates in China joined forces to create a fleet of ships with over ten thousand men that could rival the navy of the Qing dynasty of that period. So, it is clear that piracy was widespread around the world.

　　答案详解

　　第一题：此题需要找出文章的类型，我们可以通过句子开头的一些关键词来推测文章的属性（已经用红笔标记了需要分析的句型）。

　　从这些句子和词组来看我们首先可以排除掉 A和C选择。Fictional小说会主要交代人物和地点以及一个故事的展开，此文章中没有任何人物的描述和故事情节。Imaginative科幻类文章和fictional非常相似常常会采用以下的句子开头形式：Once upon a time…. In a land far away…同时使用一些非现实名词，例如：phoenix, dragon, invisible spell等等词汇。Argumentative议论文有一个最大的特点就是一定会出现Should这个词，多表现在热议、争论某个观点。通过标记的词我们可以确定文章是informative –以事实呈现为目的。正确答案是B。

　　第二题：找到关键词“印度”和”海盗”后可以发现这个句子:There is also evidence of piracy in India, according to the ancient Vedic scripts.相信很多同学都不知道 Vedic script （吠陀）是什么意思但不影响解答此题。我们需要看Vedic前面的两个词分别是‘Ancient’和‘Scripts’。在答案里唯一有和这两个词同义的词就是C中的 ‘old text’. 因此正确答案是 C。

　　第三题：找到作者对“pirate”海盗的描写。仔细阅读后可以排除 C和D选择。从绿色的句子中找到支持的证据，可以确定与‘pirates commit criminal act’意思最相同的答案是 A。
