【解析】(1)句意理解。根据文中的an old saying可以判断这是一个谚语。联系到图片和文字，不难猜出这句话的意思是：不到长城非好汉。 He who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 是定语从句，从句部分who doesn't reach the Great Wall 修饰He.句子的本意是：没有到达长城的人不是真正的男人。
（2）细节查找。根据The Colosseum in Rome(古罗马圆形大剧场) was opened in 80 A. D. . 可知圆形大剧场开创于公元80年。
（3）细节查找。题意：法国人民给美国什么作为礼物？根据It was a gift to Americans from French people.可知答案在第三幅图的叙述中，it指的是前一句中的The Statue of Liberty——自由女神像。
（4）细节查找。题意：埃菲尔铁塔为什么被建？根据第四幅图的文字说明：It was built for the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution（法国大革命）.可以判断答案是It was built for the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution。
