Question

17．Finding a New PlaceMax is new in town．His family just moved into a new apartment．Max asked the landlord（房東）where he might go to meet people of his own age．
"The Community Center is for people of your age．I am sure you could find some friends there，"said the landlord．"Is the Community Center far from here？"Max asked．"No．It's only a few blocks away．It's about a ten-minute walk from here，"replied the landlord．"Give me a minute，I'll write down the directions．"
Max smiled．He hoped that he would make some friends at the Community Center．
The landlord gave Max a note．Max read the words on the note．
Max's smile disappeared．He would never be able to find the Community Center because he didn't know how to follow directions that used words like north and west．
Max needs to get a map of his neighborhood．This map could help him find directions．He took the directions and the map from his landlord．He was sure he could find the Community Center．The landlord told Max that the front door of his building faces west．
When he came out of his building，he walked west on the Main Street until he came to the park．
Taylor Street was right next to the park．He looked at his direction note．It said，"Then，walk north on Taylor for one block．"
Max looked at the map．He could tell that if he was facing west，north would be on his right．He turned to the right on Taylor Street．He walked one block．He could see a big building with a sign．It said"Community Center"．He found it！

Answer 1

分析 馬克思是新來的，一家剛搬過來，他想找一些同齡人，房東告訴他去社區中心去找．房東寫了一個便條，告訴他怎樣去社區中心．上面是東南西北，馬克思迷惑了，他找房東要了一張地圖，地圖能幫他找到方向，房東說他房子的第一扇門面對西方．最后馬克思依靠地圖找到了社區中心．

解答 31．At the Community Center．細節理解題．根據第二段The Community Center is for people of your age．I am sure you could find some friends there可知在社區中心能找到同齡人，故填At the Community Center．
32．About the directions．細節理解題．根據第二段Give me a minute，I'll write down the directions可知紙條上是寫著去社區中心的方向，故填About the directions．
33．The map．細節理解題．根據最后一段Max looked at the map．He could tell that if he was facing west，north would be on his right．可知地圖更有用，故填The map．
34．West．推理判斷題．結合圖片可知公園在馬克思的公寓的西邊，故填West．
35．He could walk south and then turn right．推理判斷題．結合圖片可知水塔在馬克思的公寓的西南方向，可以出門先往南走，然后向右轉，故填He could walk south and then turn right．
