第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused 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.

    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。

Life is often compared to a diary. As Barrie said: We begin by resolving to write one thing and end by writing something very different. However, to be more exact, life is much more like a growing plant. Whether we like it or not, it is the stem (叶柄) that holds the plant;  71 .

Some people say, “Let by-gones be by-gones.” This is especially the case for misanthropes (厌恶与人交往的人) who hate to recall their past events.  72 ; they hate everything—perhaps themselves, too. In times of loneliness, instead of enriching their minds by enjoying their happy memories, they blame this world for being cold. Yet we may have something very funny in the past. Why not warm up your coldness by recalling them?

Some time ago, I went boating with my two friends. Having rented a sampan, we set out. The weather was dull and unfavorable, and the wind, singing in our ears, set off the waves which uplifted the boat and let it go.  73 . Without a moment’s hesitation I laid down the oars to catch it, but I failed. I tried again and it ran away. When the third time my two friends came to my help, the boat was out of balance with us all on one side. The boat turned over. The jellyfish which we were so anxious to catch a few minutes ago now floated towards us. But this time we tried our best to get away from it and landed on the bottom of the boat.  74 . Though drunk with water I felt very happy as that was the first adventure in my life, and I really enjoyed it.

I always like to sit quietly in one corner of my room, recalling past events, and laughing secretly to myself. Happy memories can delight you when you are moody and can encourage you when you are in difficulties.  75 .

A. They hate their fellow men

B. Encouraging one’s minds sometimes brings more trouble

C. Loneliness and coldness offers some people bad memories of the past

D. besides, it is our past

E. Yes, too much in it can certainly cause harm

F. Suddenly I saw a jellyfish floating on the surface

G. Fortunately, my two friends, experts in boating, managed to turn it back
