26、I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"
Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names 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."
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it’s about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ’Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don’t know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don’t know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【1】When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________
A.describe the place carefully
B.show him a map of the place
C.tell him the names of the streets
D.refer to recognizable buildings and places
【2】What is the place where people measure distance in time?

C.so as to be polite
D.for fun
【4】Which sentence is true according to the text?
A.There is no street names in Japan.
B.There is no landmarks in the countryside of American.
C.People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.

C.People have similar understandings of politeness.
D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
27、 As most people know, in the past Chinese women had no right to receive formal education. 【1】 One piece of evidence is Nüshu — literally “female script” — a written language only used by women.
A Nüshu museum opened in Puwei Island, Jiangyong county, Hunan province in May 2007. This beautiful island was home to many famous Nüshu authors. This year, according to Xinhua, many tourists visited the museum to appreciate the unique culture of Nüshu.
Known as “the world’s only surviving characters simply for women”, this slim script was developed from standard written Chinese. Centuries ago, Nüshu was taught to girls by elderly women in their homes. During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems or lyrics. 【2】
Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017, hoping to keep Nüshu alive. 【3】 Designed by Talkmate, a Beijing-based online language education platform, its purpose is to teach Nüshu to more people.
【4】 For example, people often misjudge the characters as “the symbols of some secret cult (邪教)”. The truth is that many old poems written in Nüshu were created by women who wanted to express the difficulties they faced, and how they made it through those hardships. Zhao hopes the app will help people look past these old rumors.
“The words were full of encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at the time,” Zhao said.
Ji Xianlin, the late linguist (语言学家), once wrote that Nüshu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol, since “it was created by talented women deprived (剥夺) of the right to education.” 【5】
A. Many rumors were spread about Nüshu.
B. The project has made a great achievement.
C. But this doesn’t mean they made no efforts to learn.
D. One of the project’s biggest achievements is an app.
E. In this case men couldn’t understand their meanings.
F. This might be why the ancient script still has value in modern times.
G. This way they expressed the feelings they usually kept hidden from men.
28、Scientists and educators in the US and China say it’s important to introduce very young children to new technologies. 【1】 They say that with the right approach, children learn not to be frightened of abstract thinking.
Even before children learn to read and write, they can manipulate — move and control images. 【2】
Mitchel Resnick is co-developer of a code-learning program called Scratch Jr. He says that is exactly what programming is all about.
“Each block tells the character what to do. You snap the blocks together, and you’ve made a computer program. 【3】 This block make the cat go to the right. This one makes the cat jump. By snapping them together I make a computer program that makes it move and then jump.”
Parents decide how much time their children can spend using modern technology. But Sandra Calvert, director of the Children’s Digital Media Center at Georgetown University, says it’s all around us.
“【4】 Just as it’s a worry that there may be too much screen time, there is also a concern that our children will be left behind if they don’t know how to use the technologies that are going to shape the 21st century careers, jobs and how we are going to succeed as a nation.” Children between the ages of 4 and 15 use tools and machines at so-called “maker spaces” in Beijing. The maker space basically serves as an open-access workshop. 【5】 The young people are part of the so-called “maker movement,” a do-it-yourself community connecting people who like to make things with their hands.
A.There, children use tools and machines like 3D printers to create and build projects.
B.Each block has a different behavior.
C.Computer scientists perform lots of research in computer theory and systems.
D.They advise developing skills from computer programming to designing electronic circuits.
E.Tablet computers with touch — sensitive screens are perfect for lining up simple commands.
F.The education and development of our children are extremely important.
G.We live in the digital age.
29、 During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.
Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.
Due to this openness, pharmaceutical ( 制 药 的 ) companies across the globe are now able to work simultaneously (同时地) to develop a vaccine. “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”
Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.

b. Companies across the globe share their developed vaccine.
c. Major drug companies share their study results.
d. US company Gilead Sciences developed drugs to treat Ebola.
A.ab B.ac C.bc D.cd
【3】What if Chinese scientists kept the information to themselves?
A.The research process could be delayed and the chance of defeating the virus would be lessened.
B.They could let the world download the information for free.
C.The world could develop the vaccine more quicker than now.
D.Chinse scientists could work to help the world.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
