Carnival(狂欢节) is one of the most important national holidays in Brazil. It is not held to celebrate a big historical event, but it is a time of friendship and freedom(自由). Besides this, it’s also a time when Brazilians don’t have to work. People can choose to hold parties or just have a good rest instead. Most people hold parties, day after day, night after night. There is a forty-day period called Lent(大斋期)before Easter. During that period, Christians (教徒) can’t eat meat or take part in any activities.

Carnival is held during the four days before the start of Lent. People put on their holiday clothes and go out to enjoy themselves. Some dance schools often hold activities to show their dances. Many people enjoy this festival. After Carnival, everything returns to the normal state, but some people don’t respect its end. They always continue their parties. However, some people are not happy with this behavior and they feel it leaves a bad image of the holiday. I like Carnival. It’s a time for people from all over the world to get together and understand each other better. It’s a wonderful holiday and I hope more people will respect it. ( )1.Carnival usually starts .

C

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. 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 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 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(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine 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’s 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 words “embarrassed” in the paragraph means “ ”in Chinese. A.尴尬的 B.困惑的 C.激动的 D.拮据的

( )5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.The writer is too shy to give others directions. B.The writer has a very poor sense of direction. C.The writer never got lost when she was young. D.The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer. Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
