Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

  I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for.

  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit(承认)that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite(相反的)direction to that in which you should be going.

  If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.

  Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.

  Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

1.What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

   

A.He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

 

B.He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.

 

C.He will give the very person long list of direction.

 

D.He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

2.Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

A.Because of his poor sense of direction.

B.Because he always forget the way to home.

C.Because he did not have any friend.

D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

3.How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

A.He felt strange.

B.He felt embarrassed.

C.He felt very sad.

D.He felt astonished.

4.Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

A.Someone we don’t know.

B.The writer did it for himself.

 

C.The secretary did so.

D.A warm-hearted old lady did itI.

任务型阅读: 五个人在讲述自己的故事。下面是他们讲述故事的后述部分,阅读下面五个选项(A、B、C、D、和E),选出符合各自故事前述部分的最佳选项,选项中有一项是多余选项。

67. What I read is mainly about the history of sports. I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I like dancing a lot. Some people say I’m not very good at it, though. I’m happy I’m active, doing things instead of watching people do.

68. I’m particularly interested in current affairs. So I often choose the TV news. And sometimes watch the sports. In some ways I think I learn more than I did at school.

69. Our joy is not only due to the appreciation of his diligence, but also of his strong will. Now I feel happy because something in this boy’s heart moved me and made me know that we mainly depended on our own feet to stand up, not just others’ help.

70. However, all things went contrary (相反的) to my wishes. I was wrong, extremely wrong! What the so-called developed and prosperous city is only the mirage (海市蜃楼).

A.    Jonny’s Story

   About month ago, I heard that Johnny, one of my cousins, had got a high score and he could successfully enter a famous university in Shanghai. All of us felt very pleased for him. As you know, he has been an orphan (孤儿) since he was 3 years old.

B.    Eve’s Story

   I haven’t much interest in studying. To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of things. Just do light reading to kill the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programs very carefully.

C.    Zhang’s Story

   Once, I brought with great ideas to come to this city to realize my dreams. Everything in my eyes seemed to be perfect at that time and I thought that there would be nothing imperfect that would come into my life.

D.    Ted’s Story

   I’m a very active sort of person --- I simply love doing things. That’s why I enjoy sports so much. Actually I mean playing. I hardly ever watch them on TV, but I read quite a bit about them.

Ben’s Story

When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s it. No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago my boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future.” What did he mean? I simply didn’t know.
