Question

17．Finding a New PlaceMax is new in town．His family just moved into a new apartment．Max asked the landlord（房东）where he might go to meet people of his own age．
"The Community Center is for people of your age．I am sure you could find some friends there，"said the landlord．"Is the Community Center far from here？"Max asked．"No．It's only a few blocks away．It's about a ten-minute walk from here，"replied the landlord．"Give me a minute，I'll write down the directions．"
Max smiled．He hoped that he would make some friends at the Community Center．
The landlord gave Max a note．Max read the words on the note．
Max's smile disappeared．He would never be able to find the Community Center because he didn't know how to follow directions that used words like north and west．
Max needs to get a map of his neighborhood．This map could help him find directions．He took the directions and the map from his landlord．He was sure he could find the Community Center．The landlord told Max that the front door of his building faces west．
When he came out of his building，he walked west on the Main Street until he came to the park．
Taylor Street was right next to the park．He looked at his direction note．It said，"Then，walk north on Taylor for one block．"
Max looked at the map．He could tell that if he was facing west，north would be on his right．He turned to the right on Taylor Street．He walked one block．He could see a big building with a sign．It said"Community Center"．He found it！

Answer 1

分析 马克思是新来的，一家刚搬过来，他想找一些同龄人，房东告诉他去社区中心去找．房东写了一个便条，告诉他怎样去社区中心．上面是东南西北，马克思迷惑了，他找房东要了一张地图，地图能帮他找到方向，房东说他房子的第一扇门面对西方．最后马克思依靠地图找到了社区中心．

解答 31．At the Community Center．细节理解题．根据第二段The Community Center is for people of your age．I am sure you could find some friends there可知在社区中心能找到同龄人，故填At the Community Center．
32．About the directions．细节理解题．根据第二段Give me a minute，I'll write down the directions可知纸条上是写着去社区中心的方向，故填About the directions．
33．The map．细节理解题．根据最后一段Max looked at the map．He could tell that if he was facing west，north would be on his right．可知地图更有用，故填The map．
34．West．推理判断题．结合图片可知公园在马克思的公寓的西边，故填West．
35．He could walk south and then turn right．推理判断题．结合图片可知水塔在马克思的公寓的西南方向，可以出门先往南走，然后向右转，故填He could walk south and then turn right．
