    1．I travel a lot，and I find out different"styles"of directions every time 1 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 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．Inste ad 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!

    A．descr ibe 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       
    22．Which is the place where people measure distance in time？B

    23．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answerC
    A．so as to be polite    B．as a test        C．for fun         D．in order to save time

    C．It's important for tra velers to understand cultural differences．
    D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors．

    12．A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China-"tuhao"-which loosely translated means"nouveau riche"．There have been more than 100 million references to the word"tuhao"on social media since early September．
    It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building，to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling，and the new gold-coloured iPhone．
    In Chinese"tu"means earth and"hao"means rich．To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background，and have made it rich quick-but don't quite have the manners，or sophistication to go along with it．It's like the term"nouveau riche"，says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham-but has even more negative meanings，suggesting a certain vulgarity（粗俗）．
    "Tuhao"is actually an old word-dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1，500 years ago-but it has always meant something rather different．During the communist revolution，from the 1920s to early 1950s，it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them．
    This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich，but unhappy man，who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice，expecting to be told to live a more simple life．The monk replies instead with the phrase："Tuhao，let's be friends!"
    Chinese internet users are highly creative in their use of language，and are constantly inventing，and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship rules．But in this case，its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it brieflyhttp://www．ks5u．com/expresses China's changing society so well-many people sneerat those with wealth，but are secretly jealous．
    51．What is the best title of the passage？A
    A．Tuhao，a new popular word in China
    B．The long history of Tuhao
    C．The new usage of Tuhao
    D．Tuhao，a newly-invented Chinese word
    52．Which of the following may NOT be considered"tuhao"？D
    A．A vulgar nouveau riche 
    B．A bully landholder
    C．A quick-rich peasant without proper manners
    D．A Buddhist monk．
    53．The last but one paragraph mainly tells usB．
    A．what the new usage of the word is
    B．how the word becomes popular again
    C．why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk
    D．what advice the monk gave the unhappy man
    54．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？C
    A．respect      B．envy    C．underestimate    D．disbelieve．

    While，cliques can be opposed to other kids and other cliques．In some cases cliques members can become harmful to outsiders by putting them down using teasing，backstabbing，and even violence．Although girls are socialized to suppress physical displays of violence，it can take the form of intimidating （恐吓人的）behavior．Cliques can pollute individuality and prevent members from mixing with members of other groups．They usually require some degree of agreement in appearance，attitude，or behavior．They can drive away members for no apparent reason，and they can pressure kids into group activities in order to
    fit in，creating interpersonal cliques and violence．

    16．In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．（71）EBut this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously，not only by government but also by ear manufacturers．
             The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program．（72）AThat will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads．The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself（73）C，．Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
    According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air，and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
    Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices（装置） to regulate（调节） the distance between one car and another．（74）GComputers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people．
    By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image（影像）of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen（75）D．Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"．"The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount．"says Davis．"But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution．"

    A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized．
    B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years．
    C．And it will not be owned by one individual．
    D．And by 2030，cars will travel in line，linked to each other electronically．
    E．So the idea that in 20 years'time，no one will own cars may be hard to believe．
    F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns．
    G．The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front．

    6．Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE．
    Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming，aged 32，laborer，last July．The jury （陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment the court could give out．It was，said the judge，a simple case．Cumming an d Cleary had quar reled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and the police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming．When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking…
    Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered，"Just don't tell my mother．"
    "It happened over three years ago，"Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother，"said Fee numbly．"And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
    Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee dear，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"
        She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，"she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well-his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"
        Paddy was still weeping，but not for Frank，for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．
        Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．
    So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
    The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"
     
    20．Which of the following is true according to the passage？B
    A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer．
    B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later．
    C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．
    D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him．

    A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
    B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened
    C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
    D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
    22．Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank？A
    A．"Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"
    B．"Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．"
    C．"Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．"
    D．"The eyes didn't liven，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"
    23．"She half-rose before sinking back …"（in Paragraph 6）shows thatD．
