题目内容
17.You either have it,or you don't-a sense of direction.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction,but it is not properly understood how it works.One theory(推测) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it,we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,"says Jim Martland,research director of the project."However,if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car,they never develop the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes(强调) that (1)年轻人应该被教会必要技能提高自己的方向感.He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map,turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing.
(2)If you leave your bike in a strange place,put it near something like a big stone or a tree
----something easy to recognize.Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return,go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction.Using lines such as streets in a town,streams,or wells in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone,and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
66.How old are the children when they have the ability to find the way around.7/Seven
67.Did people understand how a sense of direction works?No,they didn't
68.How many simple ways for finding direction are mentioned in the last second paragraph?
Tower blocks or hills
69.将句(1)译成英文.Young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.
70.将句(2)译成中文.如果你要把你的自行车留在一个陌生的地方,把它放在像大石头或一棵树的旁边.
分析 本文讲诉了方向感,是人与生俱来的能力.但是之所以有人的方向感好有人的方向感差,是因为,人们要去练习提高自己的方向感.如果你的方向感很差,作者提供了一些方法来培养方向感.
解答 66.7/Seven 细节理解题.根据Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around可知七岁的孩子有找到自己的方式的能力,故答案为:7/Seven.
67.No,they didn't.细节理解题.根据but it is not properly understood how it works可知人们不能理解方向感是如何运作的,故答案为:No,they didn't.
68.2.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段Using lines such as streets in a town,streams,or wells in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone,and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.可知提到通过使用直线如小镇的街道、溪水和墙来作为引导是识别方向和通过数步子并且做标记来知道走到了哪里这两个寻找方向的简单方法,故答案为:Tower blocks or hills.
69.Young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.句子翻译题.Young people 是主语,和谓语动词taught是被动的关系,所以用的是情态动词should的被动语态,to improve their sense of direction是动词不定式,为了提高自己的方向感.故答案为:Young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.
70.如果你要把你的自行车留在一个陌生的地方,把它放在像大石头或一棵树的旁边.句子翻译题.这好是if引导的条件状语从句,如果…,leave your bike in a strange place把你的自行车留在一个陌生的地方,like a big stone or a tree 是后置定语,修饰something,像大石头或一棵树的旁边.故答案为:如果你要把你的自行车留在一个陌生的地方,把它放在像大石头或一棵树的旁边.
