Part ⅠⅠⅠ: Reading Comprehension (40 points in all, 2

points for each).

A

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” (风格) of

directions every time 1 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!

1. 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

2. What is the place where people measure distance in time?

_________

A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.

3. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer

________

A. in order to save time B. as a test C. so as to be polite D. for

fun

4. 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.

B

Heroes of Our Time

A good heart Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty

and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a

scholarshipto study medicine — but Coach John Thompson got

a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a

star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never

forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with

others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo.

A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes

that God has given him this chance to do great things.”

Success and kindness

After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for

ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she

borrowed some equipment, and began filming children?s videos
