People use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!21. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _.Adescribe the place carefullyBshow him a map of the placeCtell him the names of the streetsDrefer to recognizable buildings and places22. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.Ain order to save timeBas a testCso as to be politeDfor fun23. Which sentence is true according to the text?AThere are no street names in Japan.BThere are no landmarks in the countryside of America.CPeople in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.DPeople in Los Angeles measure distance in time, not miles when asked the way.24. What can we infer from the text?AIts important for travelers to understand cultural differences.BIts useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.CPeople have similar (相似的) understandings of politeness.DNew Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BIn 2016, athletes from around the world will compete (竞争) for gold medals in the Summer Olympics. Even though the games are seven years away, Brazils residents (居民) already feel like winners.The nation was recently named to host this important sporting event. It will be the first Olympics held in South America. The games will take place in Rio de Janeiro. The city beat out three other sites, Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago, to host the event. When the International Olympic Committee chose Rio de Janeiro, cheering people flooded the citys streets. “This is huge for Rio and for the whole country,” says resident Sueli Ferreira. The Olympics are expected to attract tens of thousands of people. Brazilian officials have already started to prepare for the crowds. “We know what we need to do,” explains Brazils president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. “The words from now on are work, work and work.” Officials want to fix up local sports centers before Rio de Janeiro steps into the spotlight. They also want to reduce the amount of crime (犯罪). They hope hosting the games will improve life in Brazil. About 30 percent of people there live in poverty, or poor conditions. Tourism during the Olympics is expected to create more than 2 million jobs.“Its going to be good for the economy (经济), good for the people,” Ferreira says, “This gives us hope that things will be better here.”25. According to the passage, the 2016 Olympics will be held in_.A. Europe B. AsiaC. North America D. South America26.

According to Brazils president, we can know_.A. the government needs help from the Brazilian publicB. the government will begin to prepare for the Olympics soonC. Brazilian officials will try hard to prepare for the OlympicsD. Brazilian officials are now too busy to prepare for the Olympics28. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that_.A. Brazilians life will be better because of the OlympicsB. not all Brazilians are interested in the OlympicsC. most Brazilians are now living in poor conditionsD. Brazilians worry about losing jobs during the Olympics CLast Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心) my brother took a wrong turn.Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.My brother gave him a wrench (扳手), and then began to help him change the tire. The young man said that this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat tire on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadnt come along.After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge, we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.29. When did the author and his brother notice the young man who had a flat tire?A. Before they arrived at a bridge.B. When they were passing through an exit.C. When the young man stopped them for help.D. After they came back to the right road.30. We can learn from the text that the writers brother _.A. didnt know the roads wellB. was a warm-hearted young manC. made the turn to help the young manD. regretted making a wrong turn all the way home31. What did the young man mean by calling the writer and his brother “a breath of fresh air”?A. He had been in the hot sun waiting for help for so long.B. His cars air conditioner was broken.C. They calmed him down by offering him a cold drink.D. They changed his bad luck and the bad mood he was in.32. Which of the following sentences best describes the writers experience? A. Its no use crying over spilt milk.B. God helps those who help themselves.C. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.D. If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.DShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic (经济的) reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area. It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change. Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.33. Which of the following is true according to the author?A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.34. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_”.A. destroy old buildingsB. put things in a different placeC. choose new architectural stylesD. respect peoples feelings for historical buildings35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain why people dislike change.B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.第二节 （共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Five steps to better handwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate it when its time to put their pen to paper.
