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 本文介绍了纽约和伦敦采用的不一样的街道设置和命名方法，并举例进行了说明．在纽约，认路是容易的事，因为街道规划安排得很整齐．南北方向的街道叫做"avenues"，东西方向的街道叫做"streets"，而且用数字标注街道号．伦敦的街道迂回曲折，街道名称不合理但很有趣．

解答 31．C 词义猜测题．根据本句It is easy to find your way about in NewYork．It is laid out  so regularly．可知，在纽约，认路是容易的事，因为街道规划安排得很整齐．所以该词是设计，规划的意思．故C正确．
