三、阅读理解

As we know, history is an important part of human civilization, and it helps us understand the past and shape the future. However, it is not easy for us to experience the past. With the rise of modern technology, digital technology has been used to change the way we look at history. It can bring the past to life in a new way.
Firstly, digital technology allows people to take virtual tours of historical sites. This means that people can now experience what it was like to live in ancient times without actually being there. This is an exciting way for students to learn about history and different cultures rather than just reading textbooks or sitting in the classroom.
Secondly, digital technology has helped to better protect historical artworks and documents(文献). Museums can store important documents and artworks in digital forms. This makes it easier to share them with people all around the world. What's more, digital technology can help fix and repair historical artworks, otherwise they would be lost over time.
Thirdly, digital technology can help historians do research. With useful modern tools, historians can quickly study historical materials and come up with new findings. This has opened up new areas of historical research, which may lead to new discoveries in the future.
All in all, digital technology has changed the way we learn about and understand history. As we continue to develop and improve our technology, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in the field of history.

九、任务型阅读
Tracking 45 countries, Christopher Schacht's international bestseller Around the World on 50 Bucks was translated into English by Janet Gesme.
As a translator, musician and mother of two, Janet Gesme speaks English, German, Russian, and Spanish. She fully understands Christopher's intentions (意图) and has managed to express each idea in his voice. We recently had the chance to interview Gesme, who provided us with some fantastic insights.
How do US/Englishspeaking readers differ from European/Germanspeaking ones
The Germanspeaking readers are usually more patient and willing to read longer texts for a better understanding of an idea. But that was not the case with Christopher Schacht's book. He writes quick, exciting, short stories that make you laugh and feel surprised. There was no need to change the style: his writing is exactly what an Englishspeaking reader loves.
What were the challenges (挑战) or joys of translating Around the World on 50 Bucks
First, we were on a short timeline, so I needed to translate the whole book in three months. That meant a lot of late nights. The second challenge is Christopher's sense of humour. Some of his humour is based on German culture that is very hard to translate. This leads into the joys. Christopher and I communicated online weekly while translating the book. We brainstormed together on how to find English equivalents (对应词) for the German style of humour.
One of the themes of this book is communicating through barriers. From your point of view, how would someone interested in travelling best learn a new language in a strange place
Christopher has great tips for this in the book: Use apps and dictionaries to learn as many words ahead of time as possible. When travelling, you often have to wait a lot. This is the perfect time to learn. Then talk to people. You'll make mistakes and it'll be hard, but you'll gain a lot.
根据短文内容，完成下面的表格。(前8个小题每空只能填一个单词，最后一小题词数不限)
