B Dear Tommy, I'm writing to you on your third birthday. I want to tell you something about your grandma's time. I was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village. Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from village to village, we used to walk or ride horses. Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were no supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used to grow most of our own food like rice and vegetables. We kept things cool in a special underground room. The biggest difference is that you have electricity. We didn't have electricity until very late in our small village. We didn't have any televisions of course. We used to perform our local(地方的） music and enjoy it very much. Life used to be very hard, but I was not upset. I would like you to know about the old days and be happy about what you have when you grow up. Remember, feeling good about life is the key to happiness. Yours, grandma 24.

She wanted the kid to be positive about life in the future. D. She wanted the kid to dream about his future life. C I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions. Foreign visitors 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 Mid-west, usually there are not many landmarks. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. 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 a map. They measure distance by means of time, not miles." How far away is the post office?" you ask." Oh," they answer," it's about five minutes' ride from here." You say," Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They usually don't know. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because not many visitors can understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you directions, a Greek will often say, "Follow me." Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. One thing will help you everywhere in Japan, in the US, in Greece, or in any other place. You may not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office! 27. The underlined word "landmarks" means___________. A. streets B. buildings C. hotels, markets and bus stops D. buildings or places that are easily recognized 28. If you ask people in Los Angeles for directions, they will A. show you a map B. lead you to the place C. tell you the time you have to spend D. tell you the directions and distance 29.__________will help you everywhere when you are asking for directions. A. Words B. Body language C. Expressions D. Landmarks 30. The passage mainly tells us that A. it's difficult for people to travel in foreign countries B. there are not many landmarks in the American Mid-west C. Greeks often lead you to the place that you are looking for D. there are different ways to give directions in different countries 第二节：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。（共5小题，计5分） Maybe you have a pet.

"Where are the restrooms?" "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" These are two similar 41. for directions. Both are correct, but the 42. one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question for directions. It is not enough to just ask a question 43. . We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help. Good 44. change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are 45. to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know 46. well. However, if you say to your teacher "When is the school trip?", this might sound 47. But if you say "Excuse me, do you know when the school trip is?", this will sound much more polite. Usually polite questions are 48. .They include expressions such as "Could you please...?" or "May I ask...?". Sometimes we even need to spend time 49. into a request. For example, we might say to a stranger "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry to trouble you, but..." before asking for help. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you 50. better with other people. 六、任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分） Trees are important to us. They provide us with food, wood and oxygen we breathe. What else? Stories!

When they were photographing cherry blossoms in Japan, Cook got a call that her father was dying in the US. They watched nice flowers float down in the wind and started thinking about the wisdom that they got from trees. "Wise Trees" shows readers pictures of 59 unusual trees from 12 countries. Most of the trees are among the world's most beautiful, oldest and biggest trees. Take the Montezuma cypress as an example. It's said to be the widest and oldest trees of its kind. The local government and people are proud of the tree and look after it well. Many Mexican children often go on school field trips to admire the tree, too.

I prefer to ask for directions. Foreign visitors 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 Mid-west, usually there are not many landmarks. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. 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 a map. They measure distance by means of time, not miles." How far away is the post office?" you ask." Oh," they answer," it's about five minutes' ride from here." You say," Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They usually don't know.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because not many visitors can understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you directions, a Greek will often say, "Follow me."Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office. One thing will help you everywhere in Japan, in the US, in Greece, or in any other place. You may not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office! 27. The underlined word "landmarks" means___________. A. streets B. buildings C. hotels, markets and bus stops D. buildings or places that are easily recognized 【答案】D 【解析】 根据第二段中的“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.”可知，这是在描述一些显眼的建筑物作为参照物来指路，故推测画线单词是指“显眼的建筑”，故选D。 28. If you ask people in Los Angeles for directions, they will A. show you a map B. lead you to the place C. tell you the time you have to spend D. tell you the directions and distance 【答案】C 【解析】根据第四段中的“People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on a map. They measure distance by means of time,not miles.”可知，当你向洛杉矶人问路时，他们会告诉你到目的地所需要的时间，故选C。 29.__________will help you everywhere when you are asking for directions. A. Words B. Body language C. Expressions D. Landmarks 【答案】B 【解析】根据最后一段中的“You may not understand a person's words,but maybe you can understand his or her body language."可知，肢体语言会在任何地方帮助你。你可能听不懂一个人说的话，但也许你能理解他或她的肢体语言，故选B。 30.

That is because it is a very direct question for directions. It is not enough to just ask a question 43. . We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help. Good 44. change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are 45. to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know 46. well. However, if you say to your teacher "When is the school trip?", this might sound 47. But if you say "Excuse me, do you know when the school trip is?", this will sound much more polite. Usually polite questions are 48. .They include expressions such as "Could you please...?" or "May I ask...?". Sometimes we even need to spend time 49. into a request. For example, we might say to a stranger "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry to trouble you, but..." before asking for help. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.

American couple Diane Cook and Len Jenshel can't agree more. The couple are two famous photographers. They spent over two years traveling around the world to take pictures of different trees for their book "Wise Trees". They said they got the idea of the book in 2012. When they were photographing cherry blossoms in Japan, Cook got a call that her father was dying in the US. They watched nice flowers float down in the wind and started thinking about the wisdom that they got from trees. "Wise Trees" shows readers pictures of 59 unusual trees from 12 countries. Most of the trees are among the world's most beautiful, oldest and biggest trees. Take the Montezuma cypress as an example. It's said to be the widest and oldest trees of its kind. The local government and people are proud of the tree and look after it well. Many Mexican children often go on school field trips to admire the tree, too. "Trees can live without us, but we can't live without them, "said the couple." They have shaped our lives, our traditions and our feelings about future." 51. What do trees provide us with?
