2.If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago,we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day,we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written accoun of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country,but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write.For example,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written recors for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. because they had not learned to write.
Sometimes.of course,even if the people cannot write,they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people,and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings,and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call'remembered history'.Some of it has now been written down.It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records,such spoken stories are often very helpful.

分析 本文讲述了传承历史的方法,在没有记录历史的习惯出现之前,人们通过口口相传来获得历史信息,但是这样的方法会有很大的偏差.
解答 28-31 CDDB
28.C 考查细节理解.根据"even if the people cannot write,they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people"可知,即使人们无法书写,他们也能从年长的人那里听说历史,知道以前的事情.所以"没有书面记录就没有历史"这种说法是错误的.故选C.
29.D 考查细节理解.根据"They have heard about it from older people,and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings,and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past"可知,通过口口相传以及歌曲来铭记历史.故选D.
30.D 考查细节理解.根据"It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records,such spoken stories are often very helpful"可知,当没有书面记录时,那些老办法才被采纳.故选D.
31.B 考查细节理解.根据"It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written accoun of them"可知,如果古人记录每一个过去的事件,我们就能学到更多关于过去的知识.故选B.
