第一段有 letter,故不選。The King agreed and gave Nehemiah a letter “to the governors of the province beyond the river,” requesting safe passage for him as he travelled through their lands.第二段有 receipt,故不選。Later, in the medieval Islamic Caliphate, a form of passport was the bara’a, a receipt for taxes paid.最後一段符合 A proof of identity,故不選。 King Henry V of England is credited with having invented the first true passport, as a way of helping his subjects prove who they were in foreign lands.只有 A list of seaports 沒被提及,文中是說護照的功用,故要選。On the whole, documents were not required for travel to seaports, which were considered open trading points, but documents were required to travel inland from seaports.而不是說它是一種護照的形式。
