sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.i am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and i may have visited a place time after time but i still get lost on my way there. when i was young i was so shy that i never dared ask complete strangers the way and so i used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance i would get to the spot i was heading for.i am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but i often receive replies that puzzle me. often people do not like to admit that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.if anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, i always tell them i am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.once i was on my way to work when i was stopped by a man who asked me if i would direct him the way to the sunlight building. i gave my usual reply, but i had not walked on a few steps when i realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. however, at this point, i decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as i was going to meet with someone at the office and i did not want to keep him waiting.imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.24. what is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?a. he will direct the right way to the person willingly.b. he will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.c. he will give the very person long list of direction.d. he is going to show the man an opposite direction.25. why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?a. because of his poor sense of direction.b. because he always forget the way to home.c. because he did not have any friend.d. because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.26. how did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?a. he felt strange. b. he felt embarrassed.c. he felt very sad. d. he felt astonished.【答案】24.b25.a26.d【解析】【名师点睛】在细节考查题中有一类事实细节题 。该题属于细节类型的阅读理解题，一般只针对某个特定的细节，题型可以多种多样。此类题型一般分两种。第一种是直接理解题，在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二种是词义转换题，正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的转换。做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节，所选答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生义。25.a细节题:从文章第二段的句子:i am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and i may have visited a place time after time but i still get lost on my way there.可知作者没有方向感.选 a考点：考查议论文阅读（c）for hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or gps satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the waters edge lest (for fear that) they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. a formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the atlantic coastlines. with all that attention paid to them, youd think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct (die out).but nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the fish and wildlife service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of north atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. the south florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to elizabeth griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group oceana. the figures prompted oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the north atlantic loggerheads from “threatened” to “endangered”meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? it turns out, according to griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “the threat is from commercial fishing,” says griffin. trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and longline fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles. of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. the narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.27. we can learn from the first paragraph that _.ahuman activities have changed the way turtles survivebefforts have been made to protect turtles from dying outcgovernment bureaucracy has contributed to turtles extinctiondmarine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles reproduction28.what does the author mean by “nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness” (line 1, para. 2)?anature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.bturtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.cthe course of nature will not be changed by human interference.dthe turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection.29. what constitutes a major threat to the survival of turtles according to elizabeth griffin?atheir inadequate food supply. bunregulated commercial fishing.ctheir lower reproductively ability. dcontamination(pollution) of sea water30. how does global warming affect the survival of turtles?ait threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.bthe changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.cthe rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.dit takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.【答案】27.b28.d29.b30.a29.b细节理解题。根据第三段中“the threat is from commercial fishing,”可知威胁来自commercial fishing ，故选b。30.a细节理解题。根据最后一段中the narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm.可知全球的温度威胁着他们产卵的沙滩。故选a。【名师点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。28.d推理判断题。第一段在说“人们已经努力保护海龟不灭绝”。第二段开头的but表示转折；根据第二段第一句but nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the fish and wildlife service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of north atlantic turtles,可知尽管人类保护海龟，但数量已经减少了。故选d。考点：考查说明文阅读第二节 （共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。five steps to better handwritingsome kids love handwriting, but others hate when its
