Some people have a very poor sense of direction（方向）. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl, I never dared(敢) to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid（避免） giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘書) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine（想象） how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

1.The writer always refuses to give people directions because ________.

A. she is a stranger to the city

B. she doesn’t know the people

C. she has no time to help others

D. she’s afraid of giving wrong directions

2.A man stopped the writer on the way to ____________.

A. sell her something B. ask her the time

C. make friends with her D. ask for the direction

3.The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ____________.

A. lives B. studies C. works D. teaches

4.The underlined word “embarrassed” in the last paragraph means “_____”.

A. 尷尬 B. 困惑 C. 激動 D. 拮據(jù)

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer is too shy to give others directions now.

B. The writer has a very poor sense of direction.

C. The writer never got lost when she was young.

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆重慶江津三校實驗中學、李市中學、白沙中學初三下期中聯(lián)考英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

A city without cars would be very strange , right ? But Venice is such a city .

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences . One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge , and there’s nothing special . But when they come back to the bridge an hour later , it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes .

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project , which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water . Anyway , this project is helping solve the problem .

1.According to the passage , Venice is __________ of Italy .

A. in the northeast B. in the west

C. in the southwest D. in the south

2.__________ have always been the best way to go here and there in the city .

A. Taxis and cars B. The waterways

C. 400 bridges D. Boats and rain shoes

3.Venice has gone down by 23 centimeters because __________ .

A. people used too much underground water

B. it got higher little by little

C. the temperature has fallen over the years

D. more than half of the city is underwater

4.The passage is mainly about __________ of Venice .

A. the waterways and bridges

B. the Most project and problems

C. the specials and problems

D. the history and beautiful places
