在托福阅读的备考过程中，除了大量的阅读之外，全面了解托福阅读的题型和解题方法也都是非常重要的环节。那么，在以下内容中就为大家带来官方真题Official37中托福阅读文章题目及相关解析内容，希望能为大家的备考带来帮助。
1. Why does the author discuss the question "What is the world made of?" posed by Thales?
A. To help explain how Thales differed from earlier Greek thinkers.
B. To trace the origin of the question through ancient history.
C. To emphasize that the answer to the question proposed by Thales was the first correct solution.
D. To suggest why the question remained unanswered for so long.
Paragraph 1 is marked with ►
答案：
A选项正确
解析：
本题根据题干What is the world made of?定位到第一段这一句：He posed a very basic question: "What is the world made of ? " Many others had asked the same question before him, but Thales based his answer strictly on what he had observed and what he could reason out-not on imaginative stories about the gods or the supernatural. 本句大意是说明其他人在Thales之前也提出过相同的问题，但是Thales是把他的理论基于观察到的现象和推理上，而不是想象中的关于神和超自然的故事。所以这段话是主要说明Thales这个人的观点和前人观点有何不同，选项A符合。选项B说追溯问题的源头，选项C是说这个问题是第一个正确的问题，选项D说解释为什么这个问题一直没有人解答。都不合适。
