5.Giving directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries"Could you tell me the way to the post office?",you will get different answers.
In Japan,people use landmarks(路标)instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,"Go straight down to the corner.(83)D  The post office is across from the bus stop."
In Kansas,America,there are no towns or buildings within(在 …之内)
miles.So instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distance.For example,people will say,"Go north two miles(英里).(84)A"
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions.They will often say,"Follow me."(85)E.
Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question,he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,"Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers"I don't know."(86)C  They usually give an answer,but often a wrong one.A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
(87)B  You might not understand a person's words,but maybe you can understand his or her body language.He or she will usually point to the correct direction^Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A.Turn east,and then go another mile.
B.But one thing will help you everywhere.
C.People there think"I don't know."is not polite.
D.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E.Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.

分析 本文介绍的是在不同的地方指路的方式是不一样的.日本人不用路名而是用路标给他人指引方向,在美国的堪萨斯人们将告诉你方位和距离,希腊人有时甚至不告诉你方向,他们经常说"跟我来",但是在墨西哥的尤卡坦半岛,没人回答‘我不知道'".

解答 83.D考查文章的理解和上下文的联系.根据上文说日本人不用路名而是用路标给他人指引方向,故在指引方向时会用到周围的一些建筑,故填D,在大饭店向左拐,经过水果市场.
84.A 考查文章的理解和上下文的联系.前文说在美国的堪萨斯人们将告诉你方位和距离,故在指引方向时会用到表示方向及距离的词.故填A,向东走,再向前走一英里.
85.E 考查文章的理解和上下文的联系.根据前文说希腊人有时甚至不告诉你方向,他们经常说"跟我来",这便意味着希腊人会带你去你要去的地方.故填E,然后他或她会带你穿过城市的街道去邮局.
86.C考查文章的理解和上下文的联系.根据上句句意为"但是在墨西哥的尤卡坦半岛,没人回答‘我不知道'".由此便知"那里的人们认为回答‘不知道'是不礼貌的".故填C,那里的人认为"我不知道"是不礼貌的.
87.B考查文章的理解和上下文的联系.由下文"你或许听不懂一个人的话,但是或许你可以理解他/她的肢体语言"可知"在任何地方都有一种情况将帮助你"最合适.故填B.

点评 做这种题的关键是要联系上下文选择合适的选项,使文章连贯通顺.
