Ⅳ.阅读理解
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？”you ask. “Oh，”they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.”You say, “Yes, but how many miles is it？”They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know”. People in Yucatan believ e that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
1．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ________.
A．describe the place carefully
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets
D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
2．What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.
B. Los Angeles.
C. Kansas.
D. Iowa.
3．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A．in order to save time B．as a test
C．so as to be polite D．for fun
4．What can we infer from the text?
A．It's important for travellers to understand cultural differences.
B．It's useful for travellers to know how to ask the way properly.
C．People have similar understanding of politeness.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

Last summer holiday, I took a trip to Yunnan. It is in the southern part of our country.It is really a very beautiful place —grand mountains, clean rivers and kind people. Trees and flowers are seen everywhere. Every year there are lots and lots of visitors.
Maybe you have heard about Shi Lin (stone forests). There are all kinds of strange stones. Some of the small stones look like graceful girls; and the big stones look like handsome men. Other stones look like cats, peafowls, double ­edged swords, mice, elephants and so on. Of all the stones, the stone like a beautiful girl in a legend is the most famous.Its name is A Shima.
I also went to Li Jiang. The roads in that city are just like the Eight Diagrams. Any road in the city goes to the centre of Li Jiang. A river runs through the whole city. If you go along the river, you'll never get lost. There are many ethnic minority people in Yunnan. They are very cordial. And they all like singing and dancing. We danced with them around the campfire that night. I really had a good time.
I like the elephants and fruits there best. An elephant is even taller than me! I even mounted the elephant, though I was very afraid at first. But the elephant seemed very friendly. I took some photos with it. The fruits there are very fresh and delicious. They are very good for our health.
The trip to Yunnan impressed me greatly. I will never forget it.

A．Grand mountains. B．Clean rivers.
C．Kind people. D．Good transports.

Have you still remembered what happened when you went to school on the first day? I still remember my interesting first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.
Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn't notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, “So what are you drawing？” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know.
In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.

C．She learned some class rules.
D．She sat in the front row.

B
It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I get out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favourite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，”or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “No.”I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to get out of bed at 5：00 am? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment.
A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily worry, increases self­confidence and energy, extends (延长) life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favourite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
5．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B．Because she finishes her favourite exercise.
C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.
6．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A．She doesn't treat others politely.
B．She likes to make others surprised.
C．Others don't understand what she does.
D．Others try to help her by offering her food.
7．What does the underlined word “commitment”in the last paragraph mean?
A．Good health. B．Strong belief.
C．Strong power. D．Good habits.
8．What can we learn about the author from the text?
A．She acts in a strange way.
B．She wants to look different from others.
C．She aims to develop a good body shape.
D．She has difficulty getting along with others.
