【正文】 最新高中英語閱讀理解(社會文化)技巧小結(jié)及練習(xí)題含解析一、高中英語閱讀理解社會文化類1．閱讀理解 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(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there don39。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, it39。s about five minutes from here. You say, Yes, but how many miles is it? They don39。t know. It39。s true that a person doesn39。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 don39。t know. People in Yucatan believe that I don39。t know is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!（1）When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _______. the place carefully him a map of the place him the names of the streets to recognizable buildings and places（2）What is the place where people measure distance in time?

Now in its sixth year, the charitable(慈善的)day uses the power of social media to encourage organizations and individuals to donate funds or resources to worthy causes. Its mission is to bring positive change to munities through giving. Though devoting just one day to a worthy cause may not seem much, Giving Tuesday makes a surprisingly significant impact. In 2015,ORGANIZE,an online organ donor program asked people to “Give with your Heart”,by being registered donors. Thousands of Americans listen to the cry for help, resulting in one of the largest digital donor drives in US history. That same year, the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore peted to see who could encourage more donations. While the Pratt Library won with a $41,000 acquisition, the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well. In 2016, the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges. They raised an amazing $ million! The university hopes to recreate the magic this year, with a virtual celebration to mark the institution39。s 200th anniversary. Giving Tuesday is not just a US phenomenon, but a global movement. In 2016, 98 countries participated in the event, raising $177 million, a 44% increase over 2015, when 71 nations collected $ million. These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition. Though donating funds is a great way to help, there are numerous other ways to support your local munity. You can give back by volunteering at a nearby nonprofit or food bank. Social media experts can do their share by spreading the information and inspiring their colleagues to get involved. Another great way to celebrate Giving Tuesday is by helping those closest to you, whether that39。s assisting a family member with chores or helping a neighbor with yard work.（1）Why is Giving Tuesday started?
