Question

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

解析试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是因为作者自己方向感很差，所以当有人向他问路时，他总是拒绝别人。有一次又有一个人向作者问路，作者像往常一样拒绝了他。但是他随后就意识到那个地方正是他工作的地方，可已经来不及了。当作者在办公室里见到那个陌生人时，作者感到非常的尴尬。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据短文开头Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them.可知，作者的方向感很差，所以他不敢给别人指示方向。故选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据短文第四段中Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.可知，一次在回家的路上，一个陌生人向作者询问怎样去友谊大厦，即在向他问路。故选D。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据短文第四段中I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building.可知，当一个陌生人向作者问路的时候，作者像往常一样拒绝回答，但是后来他突然想起来，友谊大厦就是作者的办公楼，就是他工作的地方。故选C。
【小题4】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子以及上文第四段中的内容可知，当那个陌生人问路的时候，作者像往常一样，没有为他指路。但是后来在作者的办公室里，作者又再次见到了那个陌生人，所以见面时，作者应该是感到很尴尬。故选A。
【小题5】推理判断题。根据So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.可知，作者不给陌生人指路是因为他自己方向感差，害怕给别人指错了方向，故A不对；根据I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. 可知C不对；短文中没有提到那个陌生人见到作者时的感受，但是不应该是nervous，紧张，故D不对；根据Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them可知B是正确的。故选B。
