試題分析：本文介紹了一位美國人騎自行車走絲綢之路，圓兒時夢想的故事。

1.此類題考查學生對文章的整體或段落進行分析、總結，最終歸納出相關部分的主旨或大意的能力。除了如本題要求學生選擇標題外，命題方式還有歸納段意、揭示主題等。學生要對閱讀中獲取得信息進行加工分析，抓住主要信息和觀點，從而掌握全篇大意。敘述性文章，如故事，與說明文不同，往往沒有主題句，更需要學生仔細閱讀，以便抓住作者的寫作意圖。本題B、C、D三個選項雖然都是短文中涉及到的事實，但綜合全篇，可看出這篇新聞報道講述了一個美國人如何踏上絲綢之路，來到中國訪問，實現(xiàn)自己四十四年前童年夢想的故事，故選A。

2.細節(jié)題。問題中的because和短文中的for中文意思都是“因為”，只是后者更書面語化。故選C。

3.推理題。這是一道排序題。從第二段和第四段可找到答案。選B。

4.句意理解題：此題可從第三段第一句得出答案。選D。

5.要答好此題需對短文做深層理解。作者在文中并未用文字明確表示出對該美國人的看法。但從短文中我們得知該美國人55歲高齡，去年12月從印度新德里出發(fā)，騎自行車歷經6個月來到中國西安，并將繼續(xù)沿絲綢之路旅行，以實現(xiàn)童年夢想，可以說是夠“意志堅強”的了。故選A。
