People depend on road signs to know where they
are and to reach the places they want. But by
following signs saying "Forbidden City" and "Sino-Japanese
Hospital", visitors to Beijing may have a hard time finding their
way to the Forbidden City and the China-Japan Friendship Hospital.
"They guided people incorrectly. Some foreign tourists
complained that some of these signs prevented them from
knowing where they were. To make things worse, they forgot
the fact that Beijing is an international city," said Li Honghai at
the Fourth Meeting of the Beijing Speaks English Programme
Committee.
At this meeting, correcting mistakes on road signs became
the centre of the discussions. Last month, all areas in the capital
were asked to check their English road signs. The checks mainly
cover areas with many foreigners, such as scenic spots, transit
routes, and large hotels.
Besides Beijing municipal government, citizens and foreign
tourists also joined in the activity. "Many Beijingers phoned or
emailed us the mistakes they had found. Their work helped us a
lot," said Vice Mayor of Beijing.
Most mistakes are caused by poor translation. Sometimes
the language workers themselves don't fully understand the
signs. Moreover, there is no translation standard to learn. "We
asked some foreigners to translate some pavilions in the
Forbidden City. Their translations were all grammatically correct
so we didn't know which one to choose. If there were a standard
to follow, it would be much easier," said Xiong Yumei, deputy
director of the Beijing Tourism Administration.
To solve this problem, people in Beijing asked the
government to set up a standard as soon as possible. Now the
committee is organizing a group of experts both from
home and abroad to set up and improve such standards. What's
more, the committee will work with other governments to
improve English levels of the citizens. More English training
programmes and activities will be offered to make people more
interested in learning English.

解析
【分析】
首先明确这篇说明文的核心内容是介绍北京英文路牌的翻译错误问题及对应的整改方案，解题时按题型逐个突破即可：
1. 第31题是写作手法题，直接定位第一段梳理行文逻辑，作者先总述人们依赖路牌认路，紧接着举了北京游客跟着错误标注的路牌找不到目的地的具体实例，就能直接判断引入方式，排除无关错误选项。
2. 第32题是词义猜测题，定位划线词所在段落，结合后文“多个外国人翻译故宫殿宇，所有翻译语法都正确，工作人员不知道选哪一个”的场景，推断单词的含义。
3. 第33题是细节排除题，找到描述参与路牌纠错主体的段落，把提到的参与方和选项逐一比对，找出未被提及的主体。
4. 第34题是段落主旨题，抓住最后一段开头的总起句“To solve this problem”，明确后续内容全部围绕解决路牌错误的举措展开，直接对应段落核心。
5. 第35题是正误判断题，把每个选项带回原文找对应依据，和原文表述不一致的直接排除，选出符合原文的选项。
【解析】
31. 写作手法题：根据第一段"But by following signs saying "Forbidden City" and "Sino-Japanese Hospital", visitors to Beijing may have a hard time finding their way to the Forbidden City and the China-Japan Friendship Hospital."可知，作者通过展示北京本地的真实案例引入路牌相关话题。A选项“讲笑话”不符合原文内容，C、D选项涉及日本相关的表述和第一段内容完全无关，因此选B。
32. 词义猜测题：结合划线词后文语境，多个外国人翻译故宫的殿宇，所有翻译语法都正确，工作人员没有统一的参照依据不知道该选哪一个，可推断standard的含义是“标准”，因此选D。
33. 细节理解题：根据第四段"Besides Beijing municipal government, citizens and foreign tourists also joined in the activity."可知，参与路牌纠错的主体包含北京市政府、本地市民、外国游客，全文从未提及外国老师参与该活动，因此选C。
34. 段落大意题：最后一段以"To solve this problem"开头，后续依次介绍了组建中外专家制定翻译标准、联动相关部门提升市民英语水平、开展英语培训活动等具体解决措施，核心是介绍路牌错误的解决方式，因此选D。
35. 正误判断题：A选项“所有北京路牌都让游客找不到路”和原文“部分路牌引导错误”的表述不符；B选项“外国游客不知道北京是国际化城市”和原文“路牌设计者忽略了北京是国际化城市的事实”表述不符；C选项“只有北京部分区域被要求检查英文路牌”和原文第三段"Last month, all areas in the capital were asked to check their English road signs."表述不符；D选项“很多北京本地人通过打电话或发邮件帮忙纠正路牌”和原文第四段"Many Beijingers phoned or emailed us the mistakes they had found."表述完全一致，因此选D。
