二、阅读理解
(2024·北京)
Sam Hill is really bad at finding his way from place to place.The world is full of people like Hill—and their opposites,who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go.It has proved hard to explain why.However,with the development of technology,there’s new excitement happening in the research world.
An experiment was carried out in 2022 to find out what might influence wayfinding ability.
Researchers developed an online game in which players travel by boat to find where a lot of checkpoints lie.The game asked players to provide basic background information,and nearly four million people worldwide did so.
Through the game,the researchers were able to judge navigational(辨识方向的) ability by looking at how far each person traveled to reach all the checkpoints.Then they compared players’ performance with their background information.
The researchers found that Northern Europeans seemed to be better at navigations,perhaps because they love orienteering(定向越野),a sport which involves cross-country running and navigation.And those from cities with more disorganized street networks(网状系统) did better than those from cities with orderly ones.Perhaps people of planned cities don’t need to build complex(复杂的) maps in their minds.
Research results like these suggest that people’s life experience decides how well they find their way.
In fact,experience may even explain a popular belief that men are more likely to perform better than women.It turns out that this difference is more a question of culture and experience than of inborn ability.Northern Europeans,
for example,show almost no gender(性别) difference in navigation.However,
men do much better than women in places where women face cultural limits on exploring their environment on their own.
That finding is also supported by studies on the Tsimane,a community living in a forest in South America.
Researchers put GPS units on 305 Tsimane people to check their daily movements over a three-day period,and found no difference between men and women in navigational ability.Even children performed very well—a result,researchers think,of growing up in an environment that encourages children to explore the forest.
( )1.Why was an experiment carried out in 2022?
A.To develop an online wayfinding game.
B.To improve the players’ wayfinding ability.
C.To pick out people who are weak in wayfinding.
D.To find out why people are different in wayfinding ability.
D
( )2.According to the passage,who is probably the best at finding their way?
A.A woman who often explores nature.
B.A girl who studies South American culture.
C.A man who runs on a sports ground every morning.
D.A boy who lives in a city with an orderly street network.
A
( )3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Good navigators are mostly made,not born.
B.Navigation skills differ between the genders.
C.Navigation skills are passed down,never lost.
D.Good navigators bring developments in technology.
A

Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office?”,you will get different answers.
In Japan,people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,“Go straight down to the corner.
1 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas,America,there are no towns or buildings within miles.So instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distance.For example,
people will say,“Go north two miles. 2 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions.They will often say,“Follow me.” 3 Sometimes if а person doesn’t know the answer to your question,he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,“Sorry,I have no idea.” But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers “I don’t know.” 4 They usually give an answer,but often a wrong one.
A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan! 5 You might not understand a person’s words,but maybe you can understand his or her body language.
He or she will usually point to the correct direction.Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A.Turn east,and then go another mile.
B.But one thing will help you everywhere.
C.You have to talk with them all the time.
D.People there think “I don’t know.” is not polite.
E.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
F.Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.
