Big Ben

　　Big Ben is not the name of a man．It is the name of a huge(龐大的)clock in London．London is the capital of England．This clock has four faces．So, no matter where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben．Each face is the size of a double decker(層)bus．The hands are about four metres long．It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other．If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament(國(guó)會(huì)大廈)．There you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower(塔)in the Houses of Parliament．Maybe you will hear it as well as see it．The huge clock makes such a loud noise．“Ding dong, ding dong, ”it goes every quarter of an hour．

　　The clock was named after a big man．He was Sir Benjamin Hall．This man did much building work in London many years ago．

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題1分，滿分20分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(風(fēng)格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地標(biāo)) 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. What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York.          B. Los Angeles.      C. Kansas.                    D. Iowa.
58. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.
A. in order to save time                        B. Los Angeles.
C. so as to be polite                              D. for fun
59. 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.

It was just too late，what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts，to take the time to select the“right bike”for our little girl．So here we were---Christmas Eve around 9：00 P．M，with Almie and her six-year-old brother，Dylan，nested snug in their beds．Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child．“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked．“This is an expensive item and she is‘such a big girl’，and it would be much better for her to pick it out．”So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike．
On Christmas morning，we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note．Finally，she opened it and read the note aloud．“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming，I said，“Yes．”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied．“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”At that moment，we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
