　　第部分：阅读理解（共小题；每小题2分，满分分）A.

　　I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

　　Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks 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!

　　56. 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

　　57. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.

　　A. in order to save time

　　B. as a test

　　C. so as to be polite

　　D. for fun

　　58. What can we infer from the text?

　　A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

　　B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

　　C. People have similar understandings of politeness.

　　D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

　　My dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.

　　I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演员）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗条) girls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

　　I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance.

　　As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform.

　　59. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？

　　A. Care for your dream

　　A. she was bored of dancing and performing

　　B. she had lack of self-respect

　　C. her health conditions allowed her dream to die

　　D. she was deeply affected by others easily

　　61. From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.

　　A. the author was once a pretty and slender girl with wonderful dream.

　　B. we should dare to give up our dream facing much pressure and difficulty

　　C. the author never realized her dream because she didn’t carry it out once.

　　D. the author got her dream from others’ remarks.

　　62. The underlined expression “settle for” in the last paragraph means_________.

　　What are the most popular courses at Harvard University, US?

　　Unsurprisingly, Intro to Economics and Intro to Computer Science claim the top two spots. But what about Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory (《中国古典伦理及政治理论》), a course focused on ancient Chinese philosophers (哲学家) and their theories? As the third most popular course, it has drawn so many students that Harvard had to move the class to its Sanders Theater, the biggest lecture hall on campus.

　　According to The Atlantic, Professor Michael Puett requires his students to read original texts Such as Confucius’ Analects
