You either have it, or you don‘t－a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can losethemselves in the next street?Scientists say we‘re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don‘t use it, we lose it.―Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,‖ says Jim Martland, research director of the project. ―However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.‖Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:●If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way youare facing.●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stoneor a tree－something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.●Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such asstreets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!31. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.A. 5B. 6C. 7D. 832. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?A. Tower blocks.B. Hills.C. Wells.D.

To admire somebody.34. Scientists believe that __________.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth35. What may be the best title of the passage?A. A research on direction.B. A sense of direction.C. People‘s ability of finding the way.D.

People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don‘t need to bring along your smartest clothing.Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don‘t exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often don‘t last very long.Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the right change.Electric Current Adapter(转换器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.Language Tools: O ne of Europe‘s big gest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go —you won‘t find them once you are in Eastern Europe.Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave.(P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 –9399, or toll free 800/874 –9925) outside California.Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler‘s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50)to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.36. How many tips are mentioned in the passage?A. 6B. 7C. 8D. 937. Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?A. Appliances.B. Money.C. Language.D. Clothes.38. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.39. What‘s the writer‘s purpose of writing this passage?A. To tell you it‘s not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.B. To give you some advice on what you should pack when you‘re in EasternEurope.C. To tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.D. To show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country.40.. What do the underlined words ―change‖ and ―check‖ probably mean according to第二卷（非选择题，共60分）四、词汇运用（本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）A）根据句意及所给中文提示或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。
