Question

【題目】 Asking for directions is the first thing we need to do when we get to a different country. Knowing how to ask for help can make our life much easier! Here are some tips for you.

Use greetings and polite expressions: Starting the conversation with a friendly greeting is a must. If you want to get a great answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And finish with a “thank you” and “have a nice day”.

Examples: Excuse me, could you help me?/ Hello! May I ask for some help? / I need to get to the CN tower.

Build your vocabulary: You should know the basic vocabulary that can be used when getting directions. Try to remember places like High Park, Queen Street, and words like traffic lights, bank, block, etc.

Examples: It’s about two blocks away from here. /Go along the street until you reach the traffic lights.

Learn the most commonly used prepositions and adverbs: Some important prepositions to remember are between, next to, and straight ahead. And the adverbs nears, nearer, and nearest are very useful when you need to find somewhere fast.

Examples: The zoo is straight ahead. / It’s between a bank and a post office.

Try to know some important landmarks: Every city in the world has its own landmarks. You can cut down on search time if you know what the important landmarks are.

Examples: It is next to the CN Tower! Go past the Aquarium and then turn left.

本文詳細(xì)介紹了如何在陌生的地方禮貌并高效的問(wèn)路技巧。

【1】推理判斷題。由文章第一段第一句“Asking for directions is the first thing we need to do when we get to a different country.”可知人在陌生的地方需要問(wèn)路，所以我們推測(cè)在陌生地方的人會(huì)對(duì)這篇文章感興趣，A、B、C 、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有C選項(xiàng)中的袁海是離開(kāi)了中國(guó)到英國(guó)旅游，來(lái)到了陌生地方，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段第一句“Starting the conversation with a friendly greeting is a must.”可知問(wèn)路時(shí)的禮貌是必須的，所以問(wèn)路時(shí)要禮貌的先和人打招呼是最重要的，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第六段“Some important prepositions to remember are between... and nearest are very useful when you need to find somewhere fast.”可知使用“nearest 最近的”等方位詞可以幫助快速地找到地方，故選B。
