As they were ready for sleep，strange rustling(沙沙声)noises came from the fence next to their tent．“Is it a wolf approaching？” Bella worried and moved closer to Mum．“Maybe it's just the wind，” Mum gently patted Bella．They were all tired after a day outdoors，and crawled into their sleeping bags．Soon Mum and Dad were asleep．
Bella was too nervous to fall asleep when she heard that noise again．______________________________________________________________

Travelling without a map in different countries，I find out about different ways of giving directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”
课时分层作业(十五)
Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name signs．In Japan，people use landmarks to give 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．”
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，“it's about five minutes from here．” You don't understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please？” To this question you won't get an answer，because most probably they don't 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 he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
Sometimes a person doesn't 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 don't know．”People there believe that “I don't” 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 reach your destination everywhere in the world．It's body language．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在不同的地方问路，人们指路的方式不一样。因此，对旅行者来说，了解不同地方的文化差异很重要。
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．Turn west and then go another mile．”
√
B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In Japan，people use landmarks to give directions instead of street names．”可知，日本人在指路的时候喜欢使用标志性建筑，从下文所列举的例子中即可看出。故选B。]
2．Why don't people in Los Angeles give directions in miles
A．They prefer to lead you the way．
B．They prefer to use body language．
C．They often have no idea of distance measured by miles．
D．They use landmarks to give directions instead of distance．
√
C [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．”以及最后一句“To this question you won't get an answer，because most probably they don't know it themselves．”可知，洛杉矶人的距离是通过时间来计算的，他们不使用“英里”来计算路途，因为大部分人不知道如何用英里计算路途。故选C。]
3．How do Greeks give directions
A．Using street names．
B．Using landmarks．
C．Leading the way．
D．Giving people a wrong direction．
C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead，a Greek will often say，‘Follow me．’Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．”可知，希腊人会直接带你去你要去的地方。故选C。]
√
4．According to the last paragraph，we can learn that ________．
A．people in Yucatan sometimes give wrong directions
B．people in Mexico know street names well
C．body language makes you get lost in Yucatan
D．people in Mexico prefer to use body language
√
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“People there believe that ‘I don't’ is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan！”可知，尤卡坦州的人所指的方向有时是错误的，人们会因为他们所指的方向而迷路。]

The traditional Chinese Shaoxing Opera has a long history，but these days it seems that young people don't show much interest in it．
Nowadays，as pop music and online films are popular with the public，Shaoxing Opera is struggling for its survival．The market of the opera is becoming smaller．It remains popular only with the older generation．According to Zhejiang Provincial Cultural Department，the most of fans of Shaoxing Opera，China's second largest traditional opera，are above 40 years old．And many teenagers know nothing about Shaoxing Opera and have never been to the theatre．
Yang Jianxin，head of the department，said，“Now，young people are crazy about other art forms but not the traditional operas．The largest problem for Shaoxing Opera today is how to become acceptable to the young．”
Actually，not only Shaoxing Opera but also many other traditional Chinese operas are in danger．That's really worrying．Luckily，people are trying to protect them．For example，Kunqu has been listed as one of the Masterpieces(杰作) of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2001．
In 2006，Shaoxing Opera，for the first time in history，entered the pub(酒吧)．It was really a good try to attract the youth．Besides，a Shaoxing Opera group opened a Shaoxing Opera blog on the Internet to invite people，especially the young，to express their opinions about this traditional art form．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国越剧面临的生存困境以及近年来为解决这一现状而进行的一些尝试。
5．What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic．
B．To show young people's preference．
C．To recommend Shaoxing Opera．
D．To talk about the history of Shaoxing Opera．
√
A [写作意图题。第一段内容引出了一个社会现象，现在年轻人对中国传统的越剧没有太大兴趣，下文介绍了导致这种社会现象的原因和针对这种情况采取的措施，由此可推断出，文章第一段的目的是引出文章主题。故选A项。]
6．Why is it hard for Shaoxing opera to survive
A．The market of art is closed to it．
B．Theaters don't accept it any longer．
C．The young generation have got tired of it．
D．Modern art is becoming increasingly popular．
√
D [细节理解题。根据第二段“Nowadays，as pop music and online films are popular with the public，Shaoxing Opera is struggling for its survival．The market of the opera is becoming smaller．”可知，因为流行音乐和网络电影等现代艺术的流行，戏剧的市场越来越小，越剧正在为生存而挣扎。由此可知，越剧很难生存是因为现代艺术正变得越来越流行。故选D项。]
7．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Modern arts．
B．Chinese operas．
C．The Masterpieces．
D．Shaoxing opera and Kunqu．
√
B [代词指代题。根据画线单词上文“Actually，not only Shaoxing Opera but also many other traditional Chinese operas are in danger．That's really worrying．”可知，包括越剧在内的许多中国传统戏剧都处于危险之中，这一点令人担忧，由此可知，画线单词所在句指的是“人们正在尽力保护中国传统戏剧”，“them”指代的是“Chinese operas”，即中国戏剧。故选B项。]
8．How does the author sound at the end of the text
A．Anxious． B．Satisfied．
C．Hopeful． D．Bored．
C [观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为“越剧进入酒吧”和“在网上开设越剧博客”是保护越剧这种传统戏剧的好方法，由此可知，作者对越剧未来的发展和传承是充满希望的。故选C项。]

Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在不同的地方问路，人们指路的方式不一样。因此，对旅行者来说，了解不同地方的文化差异很重要。
1．B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In Japan，people use landmarks to give directions instead of street names．”可知，日本人在指路的时候喜欢使用标志性建筑，从下文所列举的例子中即可看出。故选B。]
2．C [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．”以及最后一句“To this question you won't get an answer，because most probably they don't know it themselves．”可知，洛杉矶人的距离是通过时间来计算的，他们不使用“英里”来计算路途，因为大部分人不知道如何用英里计算路途。故选C。]
3．C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead，a Greek will often say，‘Follow me．’Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．”可知，希腊人会直接带你去你要去的地方。故选C。]
4．A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“People there believe that ‘I don't’ is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan！”可知，尤卡坦州的人所指的方向有时是错误的，人们会因为他们所指的方向而迷路。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国越剧面临的生存困境以及近年来为解决这一现状而进行的一些尝试。
5．A [写作意图题。第一段内容引出了一个社会现象，现在年轻人对中国传统的越剧没有太大兴趣，下文介绍了导致这种社会现象的原因和针对这种情况采取的措施，由此可推断出，文章第一段的目的是引出文章主题。故选A项。]
6．D [细节理解题。根据第二段“Nowadays，as pop music and online films are popular with the public，Shaoxing Opera is struggling for its survival．The market of the opera is becoming smaller．”可知，因为流行音乐和网络电影等现代艺术的流行，戏剧的市场越来越小，越剧正在为生存而挣扎。由此可知，越剧很难生存是因为现代艺术正变得越来越流行。故选D项。]
7．B [代词指代题。根据画线单词上文“Actually，not only Shaoxing Opera but also many other traditional Chinese operas are in danger．That's really worrying．”可知，包括越剧在内的许多中国传统戏剧都处于危险之中，这一点令人担忧，由此可知，画线单词所在句指的是“人们正在尽力保护中国传统戏剧”，“them”指代的是“Chinese operas”，即中国戏剧。故选B项。]
8．C [观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为“越剧进入酒吧”和“在网上开设越剧博客”是保护越剧这种传统戏剧的好方法，由此可知，作者对越剧未来的发展和传承是充满希望的。故选C项。]
