One reason is that we don’t have a map in mind when we are given _______. We still feel lost at _______. Another reason is some people give _______ without mentioning the street names. For example, we often hear the given direction like this: turn left _______ the first traffic lights, then you’ll see a coffee bar with a green sign _______ your right. Continue to turn left to the third street .... Are you confused with this direction? Can you find the landmarks? The answer is no. The third reason is that some people give street names _______ saying any landmarks. For instance, go straight ahead along the East road. Then turn left to the South road. Then turn right on Dawanglu road. Honestly, finding those streets may be difficult. You have no idea how _______ it is between those streets. Thus you may either have _______ the streets or have not come to them yet. Therefore, if we want to give a clear direction that other people can find without difficulties, we’d better give ________ street names and landmarks that don’t change such as bridges, large buildings and subway station. 1．A．way B．road C．street D．directions 2．A．way B．names C．street D．directions 3．A．right B．crossroads C．directions D．way 4．A．names B．landmarks C．place D．street 5．A．on B．in C．at D．next to 6．A．on B．at C．in D．opposite 7．A．by B．with C．without D．at 8．A．far B．long C．much D．strange 9．A．walked B．run C．missed D．caught 10．A．either B．or C．neither D．both 【答案】 1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．C 8．A 9．C 10．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了问路之后经常找不到目的地的原因，并说明了应该如何正确的指路。 1．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们都有这样的经历，我们经常找不到目标的地方，即使我们问了路。A. way道路；B. road马路；C. street街道；D. directions方向。根据前文“We all have this kind of experience that we often fail to find the target place even we have asked the ... (我们都有这样的经历，我们经常找不到目标的地方，即使我们问了路。)”可知，即使我们问了路，还是经常找到不目的地，“ask the way”指“问路”。故选A。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：其中一个原因是，当别人给我们指路时，我们的脑子里没有地图。A. way道路；B. names名字；C. street街道；D. directions方向。根据“One reason is that we don’t have a map in mind when we are given ... .(一个原因是当别人给我们指路时，我们脑海中没有地图)”可知，这里说的是被给予方向时没有地图，“give directions”意为“指路”。故选D。 3．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们仍然感到迷失在十字路口。A. right右边；B. crossroads十字路口；C. directions方向；D. way道路。根据前文“we don’t have a map in mind (我们脑子里没有地图)”及语境可知，在十字路口的地方，会感到迷失，不知该往哪里走。故选B。 4．考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一个原因是有些人给出地标而不提及街道名称。A. names名字；B. landmarks地标；C. place地方；D. street街道。根据后文“Can you find the landmarks? (你能找到地标吗？)”可知，找不到目的地的另外一个原因是有些人指路的时候只给出地标，但不提及道路名称。故选B。 5．考查介词词义辨析。句意：例如，我们经常听到这样的指路：在第一个交通灯处向左拐，然后你会看到一个有绿色标志的咖啡吧在你的右边。A. on在……上面；B. in在……里面；C. at在；D. next to紧邻。根据后文“turn left ... the first traffic lights (第一个交通灯向左转)”可知，此处表示在第一个交通灯处向左拐，在交通灯处用“at”，“at the traffic lights”表示“在交通灯处”。故选C。 6．考查介词词义辨析。句意：例如，我们经常听到这样的指路：在第一个交通灯处向左拐，然后你会看到一个有绿色标志的咖啡吧在你的右边。A. on接近；B. at在；C. in在……里面；D. opposite在……对面。根据后文“your right (你的右边)”可知，你会看到一个有绿色标志的咖啡吧在你的右边，固定搭配“on one’s right”意为“在某人的右边”。故选A。 7．考查介词词义辨析。句意：第三个原因是有些人给街道起名字时没有说任何地标。A. by通过；B. with带有；C. without没有；D. at在。根据后文“For instance, go straight ahead along the East road. Then turn left to the South road. Then turn right on Dawanglu Road. (例如，沿着东路直走。然后左转到南路。然后在大望路右转。)”可知，第三个问路但是找不到目的地的原因是有些人指路时只给街道名字，而没有说任何地标。故选C。 8．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：你不知道这两条街之间有多远。A. far遥远的（形容词）；B. long长的（形容词）；C. much非常（副词）；D. strange奇怪的（形容词）。根据后文“between those streets (两条路之间)”可知，此处说的是两条路之间的距离。故选A。 9．考查动词词义辨析。句意：因此，你可能已经错过了街道，或者还没有到达那里。A. walked散步；B. run跑；C. missed错过；D. caught抓住。根据后文“or have not come to them yet (或者还没有到达)”可知，此处指两种情况种的一种，要么错过了，要么还没有到达。故选C。 10．考查连词词义辨析。句意：因此，如果我们想给别人清晰地指路，让别人可以很容易地找到，我们最好给出街道的名字和不会改变的地标，如桥梁，大型建筑和地铁站。A. either要么；B. or或者；C. neither既不……（也不……）；D. both……和……都。根据上文描述可知，在指路时，只给道路名称，不给地标很难到达目的地；只给地标，不给道路名称也很难到达目的地，因此指路时，最好把道路名称和不会改变的地标都告知对方，这样就会很容易到达目的地，“both ... and ...”意为“两者都……”。故选D。 B Mrs. Green lives in the country, and she _____ know London very well.

They couldn’t speak any English. After they left their hotel, they went to the first street corner and looked at the names of the two streets. Then they carefully wrote down the names. They thought that it would help them to find their way back if they got lost. They walked for hours through the city, and suddenly they realized that they were lost. So they asked a policeman for help, but he couldn’t speak Chinese. Half an hour later, they found a student from China. They told her that they didn’t know the name of their hotel, but they knew which corner it was on. When the student saw the words they had written down, she couldn’t help laughing. They were STOP and ONE WAY, not the names of the streets. 21．The Couple was from ________. A．China B．the USA C．English D．Miami 22．Why was the policeman unable to help them? A．Because he was new there. B．Because he didn’t want to. C．Because he couldn’t speak Chinese. D．Because he was busy. 23．Where was the student from? A．China B．the USA C．English D．Miami 24．Why did the student laugh? A．They were STOP and ONE WAY, not the names of the streets. B．She was happy. C．She got good grades. D．She knew the way. 25．What does STOP mean?

(一对来自中国的夫妇曾经去美国迈阿密旅游。)”可知，这对夫妇来自中国。故选A。 22．细解理解题。根据第三段“So they asked a policeman for help, but he couldn’t speak Chinese. (于是他们向警察求助，但警察不会说中文。)”可知，警察帮不了他们是因为他不会说中文。故选C。 23．细解理解题。根据最后一段“they found a student from China. (他们找到了一个来自中国的学生。)”可知，这个学生来自中国。故选A。 24．细解理解题。根据最后一段“When the student saw the words they had written down, she couldn’t help laughing. They were STOP and ONE WAY, not the names of the streets. (当学生看到他们写下的单词时，她忍不住笑了起来。它们是STOP and ONE WAY，而不是街道的名字。)”可知，这个学生发笑是因为这对夫妇写下的不是街道的名字。故选A。 25．词句猜测题。第二段“After they left their hotel, they went to the first street corner and looked at the names of the two streets. Then they carefully wrote down the names. (离开旅馆后，他们走到第一个街角，看了看两条街的名字。然后他们仔细地写下了名字。)”及最后一段“They were STOP and ONE WAY, not the names of the streets.(它们是STOP and ONE WAY，而不是街道的名字。)”可知，本文主这对来自中国的夫妇怕外出迷路，为了找到自己所住宾馆的街道名字，他们记下来了街角的标志语“STOP and ONE WAY”，但后来被告知“STOP and ONE WAY”不是酒店的名词，可推知“STOP”应该是交通指示标识，意为“停止”。故选B。 B I travel to many places, and I find out different “styles” of giving directions (指路) every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?” In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions because most streets don’t have names. For example, the Japanese will tell you, “Go straight ahead and turn left at the hotel. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are no towns or buildings in many places. So when giving directions, people will also tell you the distances (距离). In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles (英里). Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Los Angeles, California have no idea of distance. They measure (测量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” Sometimes people don’t know the answer to your question. What will they say? A NewYorker might say, “Sorry, I don’t know.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there think that “I don’t know” is impolite, so they usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan! 26．Why do Japanese people use landmarks in their directions? A．They have no idea of distance. B．Most streets there have no names. C．There are no towns or buildings in their places. D．They don’t know the way at all. 27．What may you hear in Kansas when you ask for directions? A．“It will take one day and a half.” B．“Turn south and then go three miles.” C．“Turn left at the traffic lights and you will see the hotel.” D．“Go along Auturmn Street and turn right at the crossing.” 28．When giving directions, people in Los Angeles, California __________. A．have no idea of time B．measure distance in miles C．may say, “It’s half an hour from here” D．never answer “I don’t know” 29．Which is TRUE about Yucatan? A．It’s a place in the USA． B．People there are all impolite. C．Visitors may lose their way there. D．Visitors can find their way easily there. 30．What can be the best title (标题) of the article? A．Giving Directions in Different Places B．Getting Lost in Yucatan C．Travelling in Different Places D．Sorry, I Don’t Know 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．C 29．C 30．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了在不同的地方的指路方式。 26．细节理解题。根据“In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions because most streets don’t have names.”可知是因为日本大多数街道没有名字。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据“So when giving directions, people will also tell you the distances. In Kansas, for example, people will say, ‘Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.’ ”可知在堪萨斯州问路时，别人会告诉你距离，B选项符合。故选B。 28．细节理解题。根据“People in Los Angeles, California have no idea of distance. 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.’ ”可知加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的人们不知道距离，他们用时间来衡量距离。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据“A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!”可知游客在尤卡坦半岛可能会迷路。故选C。 30．标题归纳题。根据“I travel to many places, and I find out different ‘styles’ of giving directions every time I ask ‘How can I get to the post office?’ ”可知本文主要讲述了在不同的地方的指路方式。故选A。 C All aboard! Let’s take a ride on the world’s highest railway — the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (青藏铁路). Sit back and enjoy the journey. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime． We’re leaving Qinghai Station. The scenery along the way is some of the wildest in all of China. Keep your eyes open as we race through this beautiful land. You might see a rare Tibetan antelope (藏羚羊) from your window. Before we begin our journey, let’s learn about this amazing railway. It’s truly, one of the great engineering wonders of the 21st century. When it was completed on July 1st, 2006, the Tibet Railway set nine world records, including the world’s highest railway at 5 , 072 meters above sea level, the world’s highest tunnel at 4,905 meters, and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost (冻土)． As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner. Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen which we are used to breathing. But don’t be afraid. Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems. One system spreads oxygen throughout the train at all times. And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen mask just like those used in planes. Here area few more things to think about as our train leaves the station. The designers solved three main challenges when building this great railway. First, the high altitude (海拔) made the task difficult because there was no enough oxygen. Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. Finally, the railway goes through some of the most sensitive ecology in China. Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest possible influence on nature. All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard! The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes. 31．Where are the passengers? A．On a bus. B．On a train. C．On a ship. D．On a plane. 32．How does the text show the railway is amazing in paragraph 3? A．By telling a story. B．By using a designer’s words. C．By introducing its world records. D．By comparing the present with the past. 33．How many oxygen systems are there in each rail car? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 34．Which of the following increased the difficulty of building the railway? A．The changing ground. B．The polluted air. C．The dangerous animals. D．The hot weather. 35．What is the author’s job? A．A guide. B．A traveler. C．A cleaner. D．A reporter. 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．B 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇介绍青藏铁路旅行相关内容的说明文，主要讲述乘坐青藏铁路列车旅行时的沿途风景、铁路创下的世界纪录、列车供氧系统以及铁路建设面临的挑战等。 31．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“All aboard! Lets take a ride on the world’s highest railway —the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (青藏铁路). (全体上车！让我们乘坐世界上最高的铁路线——青藏铁路 。)”可知，乘客在火车上。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When it was completed on July 1st, 2006, the Tibet Railway set nine world records, including the world’s highest railway at 5, 072 meters above sea level, the world's highest tunnel at 4,905 meters, and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost (冻土). (2006年7月1日建成时，青藏铁路创下了九项世界纪录，包括海拔 5072 米的世界最高铁路、4905 米的世界最高隧道，以及在冻土上修建的最长隧道 。)”可知，通过介绍其世界纪录来展现铁路的神奇。故选C。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems. (每节铁路客车车厢有两个独立的供氧系统 。)”可知，每节车厢有两个供氧系统。故选B。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. (其次，铁路的大部分路段穿过冻土，这种地面会随着天气的冷暖而不断变化 。)”可知，变化的地面增加了修建难度。故选A。 35．推理判断题。文章以引导乘客了解青藏铁路旅行相关信息的口吻，如“All aboard! Lets take a ride... Sit back and enjoy the journey. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime. (全体上车！让我们乘坐……坐好享受旅程。为一生难忘的旅行做好准备 。)”等，可推测作者像是一名导游。故选A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 《英语 基础模块1》（语文版2022版） Unit7 Finding the Way Reading&Culture corner 同步练习 1、 完形填空。从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入 空格处的最佳选项。 A We all have this kind of experience that we often fail to find the target place even we have asked the _______.

Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. Finally, the railway goes through some of the most sensitive ecology in China. Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest possible influence on nature. All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard!
