    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!

    1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.

    A. describe the place carefully

    B. refer to recognizable buildings and places

    C. show him a map of the place

    D. tell him the names of the streets

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

    A. New York. B. Kansas.

    C. Los Angeles. D. Iowa.

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

    A. in order to save time

    B. as a test

    C. for fun

    D. so as to be polite

    4.What can we infer from the text?

    A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

    B. People have similar understandings of politeness.

    C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

    D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

    I was on vacation, and in my mind, vacation does not mean setting my hotel room alarm clock for 6 am. But when you’re in Aruba and hoping to reserve a beachside palapa（简陋草棚）, that’s exactly what you do.

    Tourists begin lining up at the crack of dawn to secure these umbrella-like wood structures that are covered with dried and woven palm leaves. They then place towels on chairs and call them theirs for the day, whether they remain there or not. I knew nothing of this beach code of ethics on my first day in Aruba. I saw an empty chair covered with a towel and took it. It was a big mistake.

    For many visitors, a week bathing in the sun is the only activity they wish to pursue. It sounded good to my girlfriend, Barbara, and me after Boston’s awful winter. Six more inches of snow was predicted on the day we left. The sun, the sand, and the beach seemed just about right.

    Aruba’s slogan is “One Happy Island”, and it doesn’t take long to understand why. Aruba is said to be on “island time”. Translation: No one is in a rush to do anything. When in Aruba, you go with the flow, however slow and lazy that might be.

    Cooling trade winds, white sandy beaches, turquoise（蓝绿色）waters, and dazzling sunsets are all good reasons to visit. But this 20-mile island offers more than lazy days walking on the beach. There is amazing night life, casinos, golf, scuba diving（水肺潜水）, fine dining, shopping, and a great national park.

    But our first day was spent as you’d expect, swimming in the sea and enjoying cool drinks. Our drink of choice quickly became the Coco Loco. It’s as refreshing as it sounds.

    1.Tourists get up at 6 am because they _____.

    A. want to see the sunrise early

    B. need to check out early

    C. want to have fun longer

    D. need to reserve a beachside palapa

    2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to ?

    A. Using whatever chair you like.

    B. Waiting in a long line for a palapa.

    C. Taking up a chair by placing a towel on it.

    D. Covering a palapa with woven palm leaves.

    3.Paragraph 4 shows life in Aruba is very _____.

    A. relaxing B. expensive

    C. frightening D. disappointing

    4.What did the author do on his first day there ?

    A. He went shopping.

    B. He swam in the sea.

    C. He went scuba diving.

    D. He visited a national park.

    I could still remember that hot afternoon when my mother ordered me to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. In this way, she hoped to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.

    In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.

    There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

    Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.

    My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be so wonderful. I was going to read them.

    I never told my mother about my wonderful experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in the literature, and published his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.

    1.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ___________.

    A. help cure him of his reading problem

    B. encourage him to do more walking

    C. let him spend a meaningful summer

    D. make him learn more about animals

    2. The author managed to read the book through because .

    A. he was forced by his mother to read it

    B. the book told the story of his pet dog

    C. the book reminded him of his own story with his dog

    D. the happy ending of the story attracted him

    3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. The author's mother read the same book.

    B. The author has become a successful writer.

    C. The author has had happy summers ever since.

    D. The author's mother rewarded him with books.

    4.Which one can be the best title of the passage?

    A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum's Strict Order

    C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading

    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。

    Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and various creatures that live in this part of the sea. 1.

    The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. 2. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.

    3. At first, I was quite frightened — mainly because I couldn’t see land in any direction. 4. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.

    I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team was very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. 5.

    A. The ROV was great fun.

    B. The ROV was difficult to operate.

    C. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water.

    D. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn’t afraid anymore.

    E. The only thing I disliked was collecting information about the sea.

    F. The experience will definitely help me work harder to become a scientist.

    G. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on boat.
