In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “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.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You dont understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you wont get an answer, because most probably they dont know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then hell lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesnt know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People there believe that “I dont” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. Its body language.1. Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A.“The post office is at Street Kamira.”B.“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”C.“The post office is about five minutes from here.”D.“Go south two miles.

Here are some of them to increase ones English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions(重复) to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文), the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary. Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: In the beginning was the word. Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.5. We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary _.A.is just about learning the right wordsB.is about remembering more and more wordsC.doesnt require one to learn expressionsD.requires one to understand important expressions6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.B.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you dont use it.C.It doesnt take long to build ones vocabulary.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.7. The best way to learn new words is _.A.trying to use them while speaking and writingB.writing them down over and over againC.always looking them up in the dictionaryD.reading them loudly over and over again8. What is the passage mainly about?A.How to enrich your English vocabulary.B.How to have a good conversation in English .C.Why context is important in learning English.D.How to improve the quality of communication.CA city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasnt built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isnt difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and theres nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, its underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italys biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.9. Which is the best way to travel in Venice? A.The waterways. B.Taxis and cars. C.400 bridges. D.Boats and rain shoes.10.

Whats the best title of this passage?A.The History of VeniceB.The MOST Project of Venice.C.The Places of Interest of VeniceD.The Specials and Problems of VeniceDAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that timeabout eight hours after you wake upyour body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.13.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A.Because its hot in summer.B.Because you eat too much for lunch.C.Because you didnt have a good sleep last night.D.Because your body temperature goes down at that time.14.What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A.All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.B.Doctors need to take naps while employers dont.C.Taking naps regularly is beneficial to peoples health.D.If you take naps every day, youll never suffer from heart disease.15.
