Question

16．It is easy to find your way about in New York．It is laid out so regularly．Instead of streets winding and twisting （迂回） as they do in London，they are all regular and well planned．The streets running north and south are called"avenues"and are numbered，e．g.1^st Avenue，2^nd Avenue，etc．The streets going east and west are called"streets"and are also numbered，e．g.51^st Street，63^rd Street．It is all much more logical （合理的） than London's street names．But I couldn't help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London's illogical but colorful names of streets，e．g．"Bishopgate"（which is not a gate and hasn't a Bishop in it）；"Haymarket"or"Corn market"（where you won't see any hey or corn） or"Poultry"（without a living chicken anywhere in sight） or"Thread needle Street"（where you won't find little girls learning to sew）．

Answer 1

分析 本文介紹了紐約和倫敦采用的不一樣的街道設置和命名方法，并舉例進行了說明．在紐約，認路是容易的事，因為街道規(guī)劃安排得很整齊．南北方向的街道叫做"avenues"，東西方向的街道叫做"streets"，而且用數字標注街道號．倫敦的街道迂回曲折，街道名稱不合理但很有趣．

解答 31．C 詞義猜測題．根據本句It is easy to find your way about in NewYork．It is laid out  so regularly．可知，在紐約，認路是容易的事，因為街道規(guī)劃安排得很整齊．所以該詞是設計，規(guī)劃的意思．故C正確．

33．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據文章第6行Itis all much more logical （合理的）than London's street names．可知，作者認為紐約的街道設置比倫敦要合理，故D正確．

35．B 推理判斷題．根據文章第6行Itis all much more logical （合理的）than London's street names．可知，作者認為紐約的街道設置更合理，所以更喜歡紐約的街道設置，故B正確．
