【题目】从A-F中选择其中五个填入短文中相应空格处,其中一个选项是多余。
Giving directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, "Go north two miles ".
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know". They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!

A. Turn east, and then go another mile.
B. But one thing will help you everywhere.
C. People there think "I don't know." is not polite.
D. Turn left at a big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E. Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.
F. Sorry, I don't know, I'm a stranger here.

【答案】D;A;E;C;B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了外出时如何问路指路。
(1)根据其前一句“Go straight down to the corner.沿着中心广场直走”及其后一句“The post office is across from the bus stop.邮局从公交车站穿过”,结合选项,故选D。
(2)根据其前一句“Go north two miles 向北两英里。”抓住关键词“mile”,故选A。
(3)根据其前一句 "Follow me.跟着我",然后他(她)会带着你穿过城市街道到达邮局。故选E。
(4)根据其前一句“no one answers "I don't know".没人回答:我不知道。”抓住关键句“I don't know”,故选C。
(5)根据其后一句“You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. ”可知,你也许不理解一个人的话语,但是或许你可以理解他的肢体语言。“故选B。
