第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, 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, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t 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 don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
56. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
A. describe the place carefully               B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets         D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
57. What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.          B. Los Angeles.      C. Kansas.                    D. Iowa.
58. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.
A. in order to save time                        B. Los Angeles.
C. so as to be polite                              D. for fun
59. What can we infer from the text?
A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

　　40 , some people didn’t believe, but in order to know the 　41 , they said, “We believe you !”

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。

　　Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll (玩具娃娃) in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads: Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's. I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects—a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellow envelopes and advertisements for soft-drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and film of dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.

1．What made an impression on the author?

[　　]

A．The doll's unusual face.

B．A stranger he met at the store.

C．The collection of toys.

D．The beauty and size of the doll.

2．Why does the author mention his niece?

[　　]

A．She likes dolls.

B．She lives near Sheftel's.

C．He was looking for a gift for her.

D．The doll looks like her.

3．Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?

[　　]

A．He wanted to buy some envelopes.

B．He was looking for a present for his niece.

C．He was on his way to school.

D．He was on his way to work.

4．The story takes place in ________.

[　　]

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A Massive rescue operation was launched tonight after 23 people became trapped in rising tides at Morecambe Bay，England．Rescuers took one of the group to hospital，suffering from hypothermia，soon after the coastguard was called to the incident in the sea off Hest Bank just after 9∶10Pm．A coastguard spokesman said numbers of other survivors were later located in the more northern area of the Bay at Arnsied．

　　Those still missing in the treacherous waters remain at“serious risk of drowning”，said a Ministry of Defence spokesman ．The group，all believed to be Chinese，were thought to have been out collecting cockles(鸟虾壳)when they became trapped，possibly by mud．An interpreter is thought to have been sent to the scene to assist with the rescue operation．Ric Philips，from RAF Kinloss，which has been involved in the rescue attempt，said：“There were 23 Chinese people who we understand were actually cackling at a place called Hest Bank when they were cut off by the tide．”Mr Philips said the weather was not too difficult for the rescue but the darkness was causing a problem．“The problem is that it's dark and we're searching for these people．”

　　Obviously，the tide went fairly rapidly from waist level on these people up to their necks．“They are now floating around so the difficulty is going to be locating them in the dark．”Walkers go past the pretty village of Hest Bank as part of a popular trek across the sands of Morecambe Bay．However，they are warned that there are many dangers to avoid such as quick sand，and that the journey should only be taken at certain times during low tide．

1．A group of Chinese people were trapped at More cambe Bay because of the________．

[　　]

2．The rescue operation was very difficult for the reason of________．
