Question

12．You either have it，or you don't---a sense of direction，that is．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map，while others can lose themselves in the next street？
    Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction，but it is not properly understood how it works．One theory is that people with a sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it，we lose it．
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around，"says Jim Martland，Research Chief of the project．"However，if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car，they never develop the skills．"
    Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：
l  If you are using a map，turn it，and it relates to the way you are facing．
l  If you leave your bike in a strange place，put it near something like a big stone or a tree．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return，go back along the same route．
l  Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town，streams，or walls in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are．
    Now you need never get lost again!

Answer 1

分析 這篇短文重點(diǎn)講述了人們與生俱來(lái)的方向感的問(wèn)題，作并就如何提高自己辨別方向的能力提出了幾點(diǎn)建議．

解答 DDB
33．D  由第二段第一句Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction，but it is not properly understood how it works．可以得知，每個(gè)人生來(lái)就有方向感，故答案為D 
 34．D  由原文If you leave your bike in a strange place，put it near something like a big stone or a tree．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return，go back along the same route．可以得出ABC都錯(cuò)了，D正確．與Note landmarks on the route同義． 
 35．B  由最后一段Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town．Streams，or walls in the countryside to guide you．可以得知，找到路的最好辦法是利用街道小溪墻壁等作為標(biāo)志物，故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
