Question

Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.

Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. There is a star called the North Star, and he knows how to find it.

Of course, Peter’s friends are still laughing at him, because he can only see the North Star outside when it is sunny at night. He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了皮特他因为方向感不强，他只能在晴朗的晚上借助北极星来分辨方向，在白天或者在室内或者阴天的时候他就不能分辨方向了，所以有时他需要坐出租车回家，别人因此而嘲笑他。

1.细节理解题。根据Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house. 因为他不知道回家的路，所以他就必须坐出租车回家，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. 蝙蝠在晚上会飞，它是用它的耳朵去听，故选A。
