In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down the corner. Turn left at the hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within ( 在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will normally tell you directions and distance (距离). For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give any directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” Then they will take you down the streets of the city to the post office. Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Mexico, when you don’t understand a person’s words, 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. 36. How many countries are mentioned in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 37. Where do people use landmarks to give directions? A. In America. B. In Mexico. C. In Greece. D. In Japan. 38. If you ask directions in Greece, what will the Greek do? A. They will give you a wrong answer. B. They will use landmarks to give directions. C. They will take you to the place you want to go to. D. They will tell you directions and distance. 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. In Mexico, people may use body language to show the way. B. In Japan, people use street names to give directions. C. In Greece, people never say “Sorry, I don’t know.” D. In America, people use landmarks to give directions. 40. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a history book. B. In a novel. C. In a geography report. D. In a travel guide. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同国家的人在给别人指路时使用的方式不同。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Japan...In Kansas, America...People in Greece...But in Mexico”可知提到了四个国家。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names”可知人们在日本使用地标来指路。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then they will take you down the streets of the city to the post office.”可知如果你在希腊问路， 希腊人会带你去你想去的地方。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“when you don’t understand a person’s words, maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction”可知在墨西哥，人们可能会用肢体语言来指路。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题 。本文主要讲述了不同国家的人在给别人指路时使用的方式不同，故文章可能出现在一本旅游指南中。故选D。 NOTICE Are you thinking about how to spend your summer vacation?

With Fan’s help, Jia made quick progress and became successful.”和最后一段中“Now Jia is a well-known artist.”可知，2008年，贾认识了一位泥塑工匠，一年后拜师学艺。当他的儿子在2010年出生时，贾开始自己制作泥人。后来，他遇到了他最重要的老师，范梁勇，一个泥塑艺术家，在范的帮助下，贾进步神速，事业有成，现在贾是一个著名的艺术家。故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Usually, Jia uses his clay figurines to tell Shanxi stories.”可知，贾的作品通常是关于山西的故事。故选B。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I want to show young people that craftsmen no longer have to worry about money,’ Jia said.”可推知，贾作为一名手艺人，过着美好的生活。故选C。 【47题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段中“The show is about interesting clay figurines (泥人) and Jia Yinyong is the artist.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了著名泥塑大师贾银永。所以本文的最佳标题是“一位艺术家使泥土栩栩如生” 符合语境。故选D。 D ①In ancient China, willow (柳树) branches(树枝) were often given as gifts between friends and family members. But do you know why willow branches became a symbol of saying goodbye? One reason is that willow trees are strong and can grow in almost any kind of soil (土壤), whether it’s wet or dry. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye shows you hope they will get used to their new living environment easily. Meanwhile (同时), in Chinese, the pronunciation of the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to that of the character “liu (留)”, which means “to stay”. So, offering a willow branch is like asking someone to stay, even though you know that they have to leave. ③This tradition is said to have started during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, was a popular place to say goodbye. People would often stop there and hand willow branches to those who were leaving. Willow branches are also often put in poems. During the Tang and Song dynasties, when travel became easier, poets (诗人) often wrote about the sadness of saying goodbye. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.” ④From old Han Dynasty bridges to today’s airports, willow branches show how ancient Chinese people used nature to express feelings. Next time you see a willow tree, remember—its branches once carried more warm goodbyes than any smartphone emoji (表情符号)! 48. What made willow trees grow in new environments? A. They like water and rain. B. Their ability to grow in any soil. C. They are used to build houses. D. They connect with weather. 49. The Chinese character “liu (留)” in this passage means ________.

In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down the corner. Turn left at the hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within ( 在……之内) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will normally tell you directions and distance (距离). For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give any directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” Then they will take you down the streets of the city to the post office. Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Mexico, when you don’t understand a person’s words, 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. 36. How many countries are mentioned in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 37. Where do people use landmarks to give directions? A. In America. B. In Mexico. C. In Greece. D. In Japan. 38. If you ask directions in Greece, what will the Greek do? A. They will give you a wrong answer. B. They will use landmarks to give directions. C. They will take you to the place you want to go to. D. They will tell you directions and distance. 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. In Mexico, people may use body language to show the way. B. In Japan, people use street names to give directions. C. In Greece, people never say “Sorry, I don’t know.” D. In America, people use landmarks to give directions. 40. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a history book. B. In a novel. C. In a geography report. D. In a travel guide. NOTICE Are you thinking about how to spend your summer vacation? Join us! Our school will have some interesting activities.

When he was young, his father would give him clay toys, and Jia liked the clay sculptures (雕塑) of cats, dogs, pigs and sheep then. In 2008, Jia met a clay sculpture craftsman (手艺人) and learned from him one year later. When his son was born in 2010, Jia began to make clay figurines on his own. Later, he met his most important teacher, Fan Yongliang, a clay sculpture artist. With Fan’s help, Jia made quick progress and became successful. Usually, Jia uses his clay figurines to tell Shanxi stories. The Return of the Shanxi Merchants is one of his best works, showing a story in the late Qing Dynasty (朝). Now Jia is a well-known artist. “I want to show young people that craftsmen no longer have to worry about money,” Jia said. “As long as they are interested, they can be craftsmen themselves.” 44.

But do you know why willow branches became a symbol of saying goodbye? One reason is that willow trees are strong and can grow in almost any kind of soil (土壤), whether it’s wet or dry. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye shows you hope they will get used to their new living environment easily. Meanwhile (同时), in Chinese, the pronunciation of the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to that of the character “liu (留)”, which means “to stay”. So, offering a willow branch is like asking someone to stay, even though you know that they have to leave. ③This tradition is said to have started during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, was a popular place to say goodbye. People would often stop there and hand willow branches to those who were leaving. Willow branches are also often put in poems. During the Tang and Song dynasties, when travel became easier, poets (诗人) often wrote about the sadness of saying goodbye. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.” ④From old Han Dynasty bridges to today’s airports, willow branches show how ancient Chinese people used nature to express feelings. Next time you see a willow tree, remember—its branches once carried more warm goodbyes than any smartphone emoji (表情符号)! 48. What made willow trees grow in new environments? A.
