Question

Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.

Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. There is a star called the North Star, and he knows how to find it.

Of course, Peter’s friends are still laughing at him, because he can only see the North Star outside when it is sunny at night. He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了皮特他因為方向感不強，他只能在晴朗的晚上借助北極星來分辨方向，在白天或者在室內(nèi)或者陰天的時候他就不能分辨方向了，所以有時他需要坐出租車回家，別人因此而嘲笑他。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house. 因為他不知道回家的路，所以他就必須坐出租車回家，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. 蝙蝠在晚上會飛，它是用它的耳朵去聽，故選A。

3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. 可知他沒有方向感，故選D。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.可知他在白天或者在室內(nèi)或者陰天的時候他就不能分辨方向了，故選C。
