Question

【題目】B

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily，I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl，I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I would say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】作者方向感很差，所以從來不敢給別人指路，當人們問路的時候，她就會說她也是生人。但是有一次一個人問的是她工作的地方，她還是像以前那樣回答，當兩個人再見面的時候，作者感到非常的尷尬。

【1】推理判斷題。根據短文的開頭Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them以及短文第三段中So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions可知，作者經常拒絕給別人指示方向是因為她自己方向感很差，怕給別人指錯了路。故應選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第四段中Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building可知，在作者上班的路上，一個人喊住了她，是想向她問路。故應選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第四段中But just as I walked on only a few steps，I realized that he had asked the way to my office building可知，Friendship Building是作者的辦公樓，是她工作的地方。故應選C。

【4】詞義猜測題。根據劃線單詞所在的句子Imagine how embarrassed I was以及上下文的意思可知，當那個人向作者問路的時候，作者像往常一樣說自己也是陌生人，不認識路。但是事實上那個地方是作者工作的地方，因此當他們再見面的時候，作者會感到非常的尷尬。embarrassed尷尬的，故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據短文的開頭Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them可知，作者的方向感很差，故B選項是正確的。
