　　【小题1】A 　　【小题2】C 　　【小题3】C 　　【小题4】A解析　　分析：　　Bissel是位于撒哈拉沙漠中的一个小村子，从村子走出沙漠需要三天三夜的时间，然而在1926年肯.列文发现它之前没有人走出过沙漠，一次次的尝试都失败了。为什么呢？于是肯.列文做了个实验，终于发现原来是当地人不懂得利用北极星辨认方向的缘故，只凭着感觉走的话人们很容易走的是一个大圆圈。　　【小题1】A细节理解题。根据上文内容可知在肯.列文来之前没人能走出沙漠，于是Hedecidedtocarryoutanexperimenttosolvethemystery.，由此可知他做实验为了证实人们可以走出沙漠，所以A选项正确。　　【小题2】C细节理解题。根据第一段中HoweverbeforeKenLevindiscovereditin1926noneoftheBisselvillagershadeverwalkedoutofthedesert.和第二段中Hehadbyhimselfmanagedtowalknorthfromthevillageandreachthenearesttowninthreeandahalfdays.的讲述可知C选项正确。　　【小题3】C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Bisselhasbecomeabrightpearlwheretensofthousandsoftouristscomeeveryyear.可知现在Bissel旅游业发展了，所以答案选C。　　【小题4】A主旨大意题。文章讲述了肯.列文通过亲身尝试知道了当地人走不出沙漠的原因是因为他们不懂得利用北极星定位，由此推测当人们知道后就可以走出沙漠了，而且文章最后提到了Bissel现在的兴盛，纵观选项，A项内容能贴切的表述文章内容，所以答案选A。　　考点：　　考查社会知识类短文阅读。
