名师点评文章以在陌生的城市找名胜为例，说明了解决数学最重要的是先找出一条通往答案的路径。答案简析1．C。下文表明：你要去的是一个一点

儿都不熟悉的城市，说明以前没有去过。故选have never

visited。2．D。show意为“带领某人参观某地”或“向某人展示某物”；tell sb. about sth. 意为“告诉某人关于……的情况。根据下文可知tell为正确选项。3．A。文章表明：听了别人的介绍后，你对城市的名胜开始有了一些初步的印象。故选begin。4．B。根据文意，你对名胜的概况只是听说而已，对名胜的具体位置及如何找到所指的名胜不太清楚。故选clear。5．C。指代上文出现的interesting places应用them。6．A。根据句意，前半句是后半句的条件状语从句，应用if引导。7．D。show sb. sth.意为“把……给某人看”，合符文意，为正确选项。8．B。根据地图上的位置，你会毫不费力地找到想去的地方。故选no。9．B。本文是讲如何在一个陌生的城市里找到目的地，而不是找去某个城市的路。故选in。10．A。做数学题时，你肯定要对题目中所给的信息进行思考。故应选thought over。11．D。the road to the answers意为“解决问题的路径”，to为正确选项。12．A。根据上文列举的根据地图找名胜的例子可知，做数学题目也需要“地图”。故应选need to

have。13．B。这里应该用动词不定式to help you find your way作目的状语才合符句意。14．A。try one's best to do sth.意思是“尽某人最大的努力去做某事”，为正确选项。15．C。“lead sb. to某地”意思是“引导某人到达某地”。31
