Question

【題目】If you are a visitor，you may look for the post office in a foreign country．Can you imagine (想像)how those people will tell you the way?

In the countryside of American Middle West，people will tell you，‘Go north three miles．Turn east，and then go another two miles.’

While in Los Angeles，California，the American people have no idea of the distance on the map．‘How far is the post office?’ you ask．‘oh,’ they answer，‘it is about ten minutes by taxi from here．’But in fact，they don't know how far it is.

In Greece(希臘)，a Greek will often say，‘Follow me．’Then he'll go with you through the streets of the city to the post office．

In many places, people usually say ‘Sorry，I don't know’ when they can't tell you the way．However，in Mexico(墨西哥)，the people think ‘I don't know’ is not polite(有禮貌的)．They usually give an answer, often a wrong one．

試題分析：這篇文章主要介紹了不同地方的人給別人指路時的不同表現(xiàn)。美國中西部人會直接告訴你，而美國洛杉磯等地方的人對距離沒有概念，經常自己也不知道有多遠。希臘人會直接帶你去。墨西哥人就算不知道也會給人一個錯誤的的答案。

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內容In Greece(希臘)，a Greek will often say，‘Follow me．’Then he'll go with you through the streets of the city to the post office．在希臘，一個希臘人經常說：“跟著我�！�然后他將帶著你穿過城市的街道到達郵局。故此題選C。

【2】D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內容However，in Mexico(墨西哥)，the people think ‘I don't know’ is not polite(有禮貌的)．They usually give an answer, often a wrong one．然而，在墨西哥，人們認為回答“不知道”是不禮貌的。他們通常給一個答案，但經常是錯的。故此題選D。

【3】C詞義猜題題。根據(jù)后文How far is the post office?郵局有多遠，此句為：美國人對地圖上的距離沒有概念。Distance距離，故選C。

【4】B判斷推理題。這篇文章一共涉及了三個國家，American美國，Greece希臘，Mexico墨西哥；故選B。

【5】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章內容 In many places, people usually say ‘Sorry，I don't know’ when they can't tell you the way在很多地方，當人們不能告訴你路時通常會說“對不起，我不知道�！惫蚀祟}選D。
